A TEN-YEAR PROSECUTION.

AS was to have been expected, the ten indicted Chicago packers have been acquitted. The trial commenc, ed ten years ago. Every trick and technicality known to the law has been used not only in the fight for delay. but in the deliberate attempt tC confuse and weary. The tran. script of evidence numbered almost 4,000,000 words, and the case, when il finally went 10 the jury, defied any judgment but that of experts.
 One juror. in commenting upon the result, gave a very frank reason for the acquittal. We were all ner. vous and anxious to get home," he said. We gave the defendants the benefit Cf the doubt"
 To b5 sure. IL was only what lhe majority of us would have done. The jurors, befuddled by technicali- ties, crushed under the transcript of the ten years prosecution, and with the original offense lost sight of, had no other clear idea than that of escape
 By this We may see the tremend. ous advantage given the wealthy litigant by our criminal procedure, and the impossibility of ever send ing Trust millionaires to prison under the present system. The packers were able 10 drag the case along for ten years because they were able to spend million dollars. That was what it cost them.
 There is no use crying over split milk. Even had the Armours and Swifts been convicted, they would have turned loose a new horde of rehearings and appeals and contin- uances and demurrers, and prolonged the case another ten years. The thing to do is to set about the securement of some remedy that will STOP ten-year trials, and do away with the present advantage possessed by wealthy criminals.
 The Recall looks best Not only will it put an end to the bold par ,ialities now shown the masters of money, but it will eventually do away with technicalities by bringing more honest and justice-loving class of men to the judiciary. When the great corporations realize that the people will discharge a dishonest judge, they will quit the present practice of putting their own attorneys upon the bench. This promotion of corporation lawyers from counsel chamber to the judlc- iary is largely responsible for the growing. deepening distrust of the courts.-Ex

ACID CURE FOR CANCER
 SCIENTISTS DISCOVERY

ST PETERSBURG, April l6. - A radical cure fer cancer is said to have been discovered by Assistant Professor yon Stein of Moscow Uni versity
 The Cancer Institute of Moscow facturer. MorozCff, has passed fay orably upon it and has introduced it in it's clinic. The chief of the institute, Assist ant Professor Zykoff, read a paper before the surgical congress in Mos COW this year asserting that capcer tumors always yield an alkaline re- action, whereas sarcCma tumors yield an acid reaction. This idea set Dr. Von Stein think ing that the logical treatment for cancer would consist in the oxidation of the stricken tissues, and for sar coma in their alkalization In going over the acids in search Cf one suitable for such treatment, he settled upon a derivative of gallic | acid, namely pirogall. discovered in 1S5S and now used as a depletory medium in the treatment of all sorts of skin diseases.
 Pirogall is obtained from galic acid by eliminating carbonic acid from it. Peraloxin, the compound used, is very cheap quarter cent per gram-but is produced it. only two places in Europe.
 Dr. von Stein is somewhat annoy ed at the early publicity which has injudiciously been given to this cure, as his report had been intended strictly for scientific body in Mos cow
 Tests of the cure are as yet far from complete. Such facts as may be considered established are the following:
 The application of piraloxin causes cancer tumors, especially in their in- itial stages, to be quickly sucked up and in some cases to disappear with out a trace.
 In other cases the turner's become softened, the ulcers begin to cicat- rize and epidermis commences 10 form.
 Those suffering from cancer in the throat. who are sometimes on the verge of suffocation, net only be- gin to breathe freely, but their votces gradually come back to them.

MIR. TAFT'S RECORD.

In recent speech of defiance. President Taft insisted that pro gressiNe is as progressive does" and asked the people to judge his admin istratiCn for themselves, and see if il did not contain more real pro gressivism than any other. The chal- lenge is fair one, and. most happily, easy of acceptance. These are the accomplishments of the Taft admin istration:
 The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. It will be remembered that he asserted that this was the best tariff bill ever passed" and he has lived to swallow his words and see the law re pudia,ed by the majority of his party.
 The Tariff Board As for this. one of his own members has admitted it's utter lack of power Up 10 date. it stands as nothing but a makeshift designed to give the President an excuse for vetoing the tariff legis- lation of the Democrats.
 A Commerce Court This body has done nothing but nuliify the work
 the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. and is so palpably a creature of the railroads that even Republi- cans are lending aid to the present attempt to have it abolished.
 A Corporation Tax. This is a com promise. intended 10 take the place of the income tax. and is not wcrk- ing out we'll
 Trust prosecutions. The so-called "disSolutions' of the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trusts have done noth- ing but give the convicted criminals an extra s250.0 900 made by the rise in stocks. Prices have advanc- ed and the guilty men are in as lit tie danger Cf punishment as before
 Alaska. lt is true that Alaska has been snatched from the Guggen- helms. but how can President Taft 'aht 'itdil iOI that Every Step in the matter has been against his bitter opposition, and his champion ship of Ballinger, in connection with the antedated statements. will long rebound to his discredit.
 The Railroad Bill Nor can MT Taft take any more credit fer this than for the Alaskan policy The original draft indorsed by Mir. Taft who asked that it be passed without amendment. was thoroughly vicious It legalized mergers, removed rail roads from the operation Cf the anti trust law and permitted them to make what rates they pleased. Sen ator LaFollette. aided by the Prog ressives and Democrats, tore the thing 10 pieces and made it entirely over. Even then. when they plan ned to include a provision making physical Valuati n of the roads as a basis of rate regulation. President Tafts bitter resistance prevented.
 Postal savings system. This is the beginning of good thing, but. as yet. the system has no resemblance 10 the scientific systems so success ful in other countries.
 So much for his achievements Against it is only fair to place the increased cost of living caused by the Payne-Aldrich bill, the Ballinger mess, the Norton letter, the appoint ments 10 important posts of such men as kerens and Herrick the fore ed resignation of Dr. Wiley. and the dollar diplomacy" that has made the United States government a mere bond-peddling salesman for private business" G.

The season is sufficiently advanced

correct estimate of yield of cotton
for the season Of 1928.
My information from every section

500 pounds each. The crop by states
is, in my opinion, as follows:
Fort Mill times. [volume] (Fort Mill, S.C.) 1892-current, 1912-09-26


These figures are full and will rath-
er be over than under the crop. The
demand for cloth is good and sales
are made, at full figures.
Spinners are staying out OF the
market, hoping to force the price OF
cotton still lower, believing that the
bulk OF the crop will be forced upon
the market by November l and sold
at sacrifice.
Now Is the time to market your
cotton as slowly as possible. You
must meet this stay-out Of the mar
ket policy of the spinners by staying
out Of the market yourself. Don't
offer bale for sale that you can pos
sibly hold. Warehouse your cotton
and borrow money on 1t, II you must
to pay your debts, but don't sell. IL
the South will follow this policy you
will, in my opinion, see Is cents cot
ton by January l, but II you rush it
on the market and have it sold at
forced sale, you will, in my opinion,
see it sell at or below II cents.
II this crop is marketed slowly you
will, in my opinion, see an ascending
market, until Is cents is reached.

cron Outlook is Very Good.

Sharon.-In spite of the red spider
ravages, in spite of blight and the
withering heat of August, it seems
now that this section will have a good
balance on the right side Of the led
ger as the result Of the sections ag-
ricultural operations. The cotton crop
will not set a new record, for 1t has
met with various misfortunes, yet the
crop is sufficiently advanced to make
il certain that the yield of the cotton
fields will average fairly we'll. In
spite OF the unpromising start, good
crop of corn has been made, and with
the exception Of a few farmers all
will gather into their barns an abun'
dapt hay crop.

PoSTMASTERS.
TO BE OUTSIDE OF POLITICS
Personnel Of Postal Service to Be Re-
moved From the Realm Of Political
Contentlon.-chanee to Be Made In
Near Future.

Washington.-it was practically de-
cided that President Taft in the near
future will issue an executive order
placing all fourth class postmasters in
the classified service. This order, re-
lieving 36,03S postmssters from the I'M
certainty of political appointment will
be one of the most comprehensive and
tar-reaching, as affecting the civil SER
vice, ever issued by a President of the
United States.
That the President would take this
step as his first act toward putting in
practice his often expressed belief
that all government officers below the
grade of Cabinet members should be
removed from the influence Of poll
tics and placed under the civil SER
vice, became practically certain after
a delegation Of postmasteI5 returning
from the annual convention at Rich
mond, Va, had been received at the
White House, and by Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock. The visitors submit
ted monster petition signed by about
10000 postmasters asking that they be
placed in the classified service.
After discussing the matter briefly
with the delegation the President re-
ferred the executive committee OF the
association to Mr.. Hitchcock for fur
ther consideration of the matter. Later
the committee called upon the Post
master General to discuss the subject
with him.
In few days Mr.. Hitchcock will
submit to President Taft a formal
recommendation that the petition be
granted and the President is expected
to act promptly and favorably upon
the recommendation.
