Bringing cotton figures down to the
end Of last week the New York
Commercial figures that the total ex-
ports for the current crop season
which opened September 1, last,
amounted to 10,1s5,O0O bales, as COM
pard with 100000 bales a year ago
and 5,756,OOO bales for 1910. This
breaks all previous records for the
same part of any crop year and also
for any entire crop, fiscal or calender
year. There seems to be no slacken-
ing of the foreign demand, for
last weeks exports are estimated at
10000 bales, against 10000 bales last
year. Liverpool sales are large and
run from 10000 to $4,000 bales a day
making new high records for this
season Of the year. English spinners
are buying steadily and seem to have
no large stocks of raw cotton on hand.
Manchester reports them as doing
very large business, and German spin
ners are in a similar position. Euro
pean buyers find difficulty in securing
ocean cargo space for all the cotton
they are taking, and sharp advance
in freight rates Is feared. High grade
cotton Of good length and strength is
in very strong demand abroad. There
is now a total visible supply of $685.
S04 bales, as compared with 2,591,3
last year and 2,571.60S in 1910.
Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 8: After
conference between Theodore Roose-
welt and several of his lieutenants here
today, the colonel emphatically denied
h.A fx~1 ortN rfnn a
ment had sustained a serious setback
The Roosevelt men discussed various
plans for organization of the new
party, talking over issues that will be
presented in opposition to the other
major parties. One of these Issues
he promise that "bosses" will be the
special target for the political ammu-
milton of the new party-is expected
to gain for the Roosevelt movement
large amount Of support in the
south. The statement Of Governor Os-
born, Of Michigan, one of the seven
governors who asked Col. Roosevelt
to become a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination, that. in his opinion,
no third party was now necessary.
was cited to the colonel as one reason
for the reports that all was not going
we'll with the movement. Governor
before" he said. II did not expect
have some losses Of this sort. Gov
ernor Hadley came out for Taft, Cover
nor Osborn for Wilson. Our plans will
not be affected" Col. Roosevelt said
he was in no way discouraged at the
outlook. but, on the contrary had re-
ceived assurances Of support from ev-
cry section of the country. Col.
Roosevelt was asked what the party
would be named. Search me, by
George" he replied. "The names /
have heard most frequently mentioned
are Progressive party and National
Progressive party. The convention
will decide" Although Senator Dix
on said yesterday that the call for the
convention would probably be issued
tomorrow, Col. Roosevelt gave 1t as
his opinion that ii would be delayed
until Monday.
Baltimore, July 2: William ].
Bryan, in a statement tonight, said
the nomination Of woodrow Wilson
on a Progressive platform meant an
overwhelming victory for the Demo-
cratic ticket next fall. Il feel sure
that the action of the convention thus
far will appeal to the country" said
Mr.. Bryan. II had no choice among
Progressive candidates but from the
first, included Gov. Wilson in every
list had occasion to make. His ac-
tion in coming out strongly against
Mr.. Parker for temporary chairman
was the turning point in his campaign.
II am satisfied that with Mr.. Will
son running for president on the plat
form which has been prepared there
will be comparatively few Progressive
Republicans who will not feel justified
in supporting the Democratic ticket
If were to make an estimate / would
say that we ought to have not less
than 100000 majority OF the popular
vote and enough electoral votes to give
us an overwhelming majority in the
electoral college. 1T Is fortunate that
Mr. wilson's nomination was made
without the aid of Mr.. Murphy. 1t is
no reflection upon the many good men
in the New York delegation to say
this. From every standpoint the out
look is hopeful. The dawn is here and
Progressive Democracy will be the peo-
ple's pillar of cloud by day." Among
those who came out in statements
pledgirg support to the Democratic
ticket were Charles F. Murphy, leader
Of Tammany Hall, William r. Hearst,
August Belmont, Senator Stone Of
leaders of the Clark campaign for the
presidential nomination, and Former
Senator Dubois who was the active
manager of the Clark campaign
Gov Wilson os an able man and
great Democratic" declared Mr.. Muir
ply He will have the enthusiastic
and layolas upport of the Democrats
Of New York. l am confident he will
be elected president" William r.
Hearst, who has been one Of the prin
cipal supporters Of Clarks candidacy
tonight said: I'VE have made a good
fight and lost. will support the tick
ct nominated and expect to see it win.
/ intend to die game in this fight.
am now for Wilson"
- Sumter special of July 2, to Col
Umbia State: There were less than
IS persons in the court house at noon
today, when the county chairman, ].
HI Clifton, called to order the cam
paign meeting for the senatorial and
solicitor races. Congressman Lever
being still in Washington sent word
that he would be present at some Of
the county campaign meetings. N.
B. Dial of Laurens was the first
speaker. To introduce himself, he
said he lived in Laurens, was so years
old, was a farmer, banker, manufac-
turer; was a business man on a buSl-
ness platform. He abuses no one,
but wants to go forward on a Progress
i've platform. He stated his platform
as announced previously. He joked at
Col Talbert in a good natured way
but spoke seriously of the Tillman
status in this race. Had no criticism
to make of the senator's record, but
Tillman should not ask for what he
could not perform. The Republican
majority in the senate was very small,
and every Democratic vote counted
and although he was sorry for the
senator's condition his inability to at
tend to his duties would work a hard
ship on the state. Mr.. Dial made a
plain talk with no politics and no
spreadeagleism but was just business
all the way through. He was listened
to with attention for the As minutes
that he talked. In marked contrast
to Mr.. Dial was the oratory Of eX
Congressman j. w. Talbert. He could
run the gamut of emotions from drop
ping his voice over the dearness of the
gray Confederate uniform and lovely
Southern woman to raising it again
to the climax of a good joke and made
all the small crowd laugh Jefferson
