TOTAL GINNING WAS
l6,O5O.OOO BALES

The final report of the census bu-
reau on the cotton ginned from the
1911 crop was made public today. The
report shows total ginning, includ-
ing linters, of 16,050,0O0 bales, by far
the largest crop in the history of the
south. The market, however, was not
weakened by the rtport and advanced
few points on its publication. Good
cotton is selling at Conway today at
10 Ia cents.

RANK CLAIMS OF
ROBINSON RfFUTFD

The opposition to Governor Dona-
ghey is making many rank claims,
and the statement has been repeated
ly published in paid advertisements
in the Little Rock papers that Rob
irson would carry Pope county by an
overwhelming majority. These state
ments are over the signatures of Pope
&C unity citizens, and none will deny
them the right to their opinions, nor
the privilege of expressing them. The
Courler-Democrat is not given to
making rank assertions or predictions
Of election results, but in view of the
fact that Donaghey carried Pope
county two years ago by over 500 ma
jority, it would seem that there is but
little foundation for the claim that
the county will go against him this
time by an Overwhelming majority"
In fact, it will take an almost unpre-
cedented change of sentiment among
the voters to carry the county against
him at all, and conservative sizing
up of the situation, even by Robin
son supporter, would hardly more
than justify the claim that the result
may be close in Pope county, while
Donaghey's friends are confident that
he will carry the county by a major

Opportunities for Enlargement
in Pleasure and Com
mercial Lines.

If every automobile factory in the
United states was to produce double
the number Of machines it is now pro-
ducing and every machine was a COM
mercial vehicle there would then not be
enough made to take care of the in
crease alone in our m at the

ment statistics can be taken as a guide.
The new year book Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture G. Jcloses some
startling figures. 1t shows a wonder
full increase in horse stock. In 1900
there were is, OOo.o 900 horses in the
United States and ten years later, or
IN 1910, there were 24,ooo, 900 horses.
These numbers are the largest on
record in the history of the country.
Compared with those Of ten years age
they show a gain of 60 per cent
While horses have increased in mum.
Der they have also increased In value
m 1900 the estimated value Of Eerss.
on farms was $44 per head. with 9
steady rise, interrupted only by the
panic of 1907. These values mounted
up year after year until in 1910 the
average price was 500, representing G
gain of nearly $50 per cent.
Tho value of horses and mules II

ceeds 5000, 900. 900, a gain of more thar

saws that in ten years the horse will
be extinct? Also where is the man whit

Assistant General Manager George D..
wilcox, of the Regal Motor Car. Com
pany. There is something more to a
good automobile than It's beautiful APP
p~earance, luxurious upholstering and
the mechanical efficiency Of Its motor
and parts. That something is the dis
lance between the lowest point Of the
car and the road. ItNis called road
clearance.
Scores of people buy cars without
ever thinking of the day when they will
be put ON some rough or rocky by-rcad
where every Inch by which the car
clears the highway will be Of utmost
Importance to the cars security and
the safety of its occupants. They for
get that unfortunately America does
not boast of as fine roads as we wish
1t did. and ought to have.
TN examining q car with q view to
obtaining ample road clearance there
are two things which should be borne
in mind. First, the prospective pur-
chaser should remember that a car Is
no higher than its lowest point; that
though a car may look high 1t may
have a low-hanging dust pan or rear
axle housing that projects far below
tiO IA ~ ~>>
essential is that the average observer
! cannot see these low-hanging members
without special effort. The lowest part
may be under the very centre OF the
car and the observer should either stoop
over or step back to discover it. Every
automobile Which Is to be used off q
city pavement should have min or ten
inches of road olearance-the more the
better, If it foes not make the car too
high, for security from skidding Is pos
sibly only in cars Of low constructions
The tendency Of the best engineering
practise is to use q fat dust pan and
make possible a low frame and an
even road-clearanoe throughout. In
deed, the best cars today have already
obtained this even ro-ad-clearance or
their designers are working toward
that end.
ut is gratifying, indeed, to see how
much more careful people are these
days about road-clearance in the car
which they buy. I still believe. how
ever. that there are too many psopIs
who fail to look underneath : car be-

defeat and perhaps the loss of
gambled money?
Getting back to the original
proposition, was there a fraudu-
lent election in Clarendon coun.
ty? We say not, and we base
this assertion upon the fact that
the voting strength of this county
is more than was voted on the
9th. But, if those who have
been discussing the matter on
the streets and alleged fraud in
the hearing of the faithful cor
respondent of the News and
Courier and The State, have any
information which will disprove
what we honestly believe, it is a
duty they owe to good citizen
ship to have the perpetrators OF
the evil punished by going before
a Magistrate and swear out war
rants for the arrest of any who
have befouled the sacred ballot.
We need not say to these pat
riots that when they seek the
protection of the law they must
have better evidence than their
belief, and what ''they say" will
not be considered sufficient to
disturb the freedom Of a yellow
dog. Facts and not what "they
saw" IS what is wanted.

WILL THERE BE INTERyENTI0Nl

Should war break out with
Mexico in the midst of a presi-
dentiaI election it may alter the
situation very much. There is a
strong probability of conditions
being such that President Taft
will be forced to intervene to
protect American interests in
Mexico, the situation is consid-
cred grave at this time, and
something IS liable to happen
any moment. Troops have been
sent to the border and held IN
readiness to march across at a
moments notice, and with the
jingo spirit prevailing in the
army of the United States it
would not surprise US in the
least if a declaration of war
comes from this government,
true, the President has stated
that he will stake no action until
congress authorizes it, an extra
session may be called to give the
President it's judgment, but the
President has the power to IN
tervene, and conditions may be
so grave he my not have time 10

therefore he will be forced to act

The Manning Times will accom-

lot of money to have type set,
and we think it cheek to ask the
newspapers to print all of those
names and to take chances Of
getting pay. The executive com,
mittee has made an appeal for
financial help to conduct the in
vestigation, and there will be a
good many who no doubt will
contribute: the town of Lancas
ter has already given llberally.
and it should, because it is the
home of Leroy Springs and

do likewise as Lewis Parker lives
there, but when 1t comes to those
who look upon the Investigation

little will be contributed from
that source. Should however. a
lot of money be given to the in
vestigators, and there remains
an unexpended balance on hand
what is to become of it? Will Mr..
Stevenson have a resolution
adopted to give him a whack at
it? The gentleman from Ches

after "unexpended balances. "

Wilson should devote his entire
attention to the presidential con.
test and keep his fingers out Of
New Jersey senatorial rows.
True, with the split in the Re-
publican ranks the outlook for
the Democratic party looks sure,
but there is no telling what will
happen before November which
will bring the contending ele.
ments in the Republican party
together and set them up solidly
against the nominee of the de-
mocracy. Wilson should shiny

A ROTTEN DECISION.

II the newspapers report John
Gary Evans correctly, he has
ruled that a vote cast in the
wrong box shall be thrown out
and not counted, for instance, if
a voter puts a county ticket in
the State box, and a State ticket
in the county box, the managers
should not count these tickets.
We have examined the rules and
the constitution of the Demo.
cratic party of this State, and
we have also looked up the
statutes. and we defy State
Chairman Evans to show any
authority in the rules or the
constitution to justify such a
ruling. Mr.. Evans has no right
to make the law to govern the
conduct of the party, it is his
province only to execute the
rules, and the law as made: by
the legislature and the conven-
ton, when he assumes to make
ruling that is not justified by
the rules, he arbitrarily takes
control on the assumption that
he will be backed up by parti-
san majority.
The white men of South Caro-
lima will not tamely submit to
a State Chairman making rules
for the Democratic party, and
we are safe in saying that when,
even under the instructions of
Mr.. Evans, managers threw out
votes because they we're placed
IN the wrong box, they robbed
good and la wfui citizens of their
franchise. There is a law upon
the statutes governing the gen
eral election which requires the
managers to throw out tickets
placed in the wrong box, but
this does not apply to the prl-
mary, that law was made for the
purpose of confusing the negro
with the eight box system: 1T
was made to block the negro,
and not with a view of robbing
white men in the primary.
We regard the ruling Of Chair.
mon Evans a most high handed
proceeding, and it proves to our
mind what we intimated when
he was chosen Chairman, that
he was an extreme partisan filled
with personal prejudice, and
therefore incapable of doing
Justice. We venture to say this
ruling will ring in John Garv
Evans ears for many years to
come. especially, should he ever
ask the people of this State to
vote for him. Evans whole con.
duct shows him to be unfit for
the position he is holding, and,
in which he was placed by a GER
tain element to do certain unfair
work. The State Executive
Committee may deprive the ma
jority of their declaration in
favor of Governor Blease, but it
will not prevent the white ma
iority from voting for Blease in
the general election; if the head
of the party undertakes to re
verse the decision Of the major.
|ity of the voters, the primary
pledges may be called off, and in
each county there may be full
tickets in the field, and at every
box Blease supporters will man,
age the election.

1t is a pity so good man as
Oscar Strauss has been nominal,
ed on d ticket in New York that
stands no chance of election.
Mr.. Strauss would make in ideal
governor, a business man OF
high order, and one who has
distinguished himself in his SER
vice for the government at home
and abroad, but we do not think
he can be elected at the head of
the Bull Moose party. Had he re

Democratic nomination he would
have swept New York like a cy-
clone: but the new party is
doomed to defeat.
