Prof. Warren NJ. Beidler Of Bethel,

how to live.
There is no viler, and there is no
vainer ambition" said Professor Beid.

EXPLAINS ABOUT
No STATE TICKET
WHY THE SOUTH CAROLINA
PRoGRESslvES HAVE NO
STATE CANDIDATES.
A LETTER FROM B. L. DUNN
The Provisional National Committee
mar Wrote to a Citizen of Cowpens,
Answering That Questionable
Letter In Part is Given.

Columbia.-Just why the Progress
sive party is not putting a state ticket
in the field in the November national
election seems to be a question which
is troubling a good many Bull Moose
converts. The following letter which
B. Sherwood Dunn, provisional nation
al committeeman Of the party IN
South Carolina, wrote to a citizen OF
Cowpens, answers the question:
The letter reads:
IT beg to thank you for your Ia
for Of the 9Th inst, and for the In
terest that you show in the launching
of the Progressive party in this state
We had a very successful organiza
ton meeting with 40 earnest, we'll
known men present, each and every
n a working unit and not n Oh
them present from motives OF cur1os'
ity or idle interest. To my idea such
a meeting has far greater value tnan
an attendance OF 400 men with none
OF them particularly in earnest. we
receive daily from every quarter OF
the state assurances Of adhesion and
loyalty to the new movement and we
are glad to get this assurance from
you.
1--WE did not place in the field a
complete state ticket for two reasons:
First, because in starting this new
Progressive movement we are deter
mined and anxious to present 1t to
the public as an example Of high
ideals, high purpose, and with the
first chief purpose that the people
shall rule; to do this we felt that
it was primarily necessary that the
party should be regular" in It's
methods of procedure and this would
~necessitate that we should follow the
primary law in this state and hold a
primary for the nomination Of candi-
dates. This we did not have the
time to do, and any other course
would have been irregular and we
could properly have been charged
with being political pirates.
Second, the Democratic primary
has already been held and you and
I and almost every other white voter
in the sGate bound himself by oath
to support the nominees Of that pri-
mary and we could not properly, hon.
estly or legally vote for the candi-
dates on any other ticket than that
of the regular Democratic party in
this state, and in putting out an indie
pendent ticket we would be offering
a bait to seduce the voter from his
proper allegiance and legal duty and
that is not the class of voters with
which we are seeking to build up this
new movement"

TO PREVENT LOSS
ON THE COTTON cRoP-A PLAN
TO OBVTATE EVILS OF MIS-
GRADING.
FARMER NOW is SUFFERER
This Leak, Though Very Small, Should
Be Stopped at Once, as 1t ls Unfair
to the Producers of the Fleeey
Staple. ... :.

Columbia.-A new member OF the
coming general assembly is going to
introduce a bill making 1t a penal Of
Tense to misgrade a bale OF cotton
by any buyer, putting the fine or pen
atty not less than $25 or more than
$50 for fine less cost, to go to the
owner of the cotton misgraded. 3
He proposes to follow the grades
established by the New York cotton
exchange.
The necessity and argument for the
measure is that by the loose way that
cotton Is now marketed, causes a loss
to the growers Of between S35O,O0t
and $5OO,0OO on a crop of the vol
ume of last year, and that this loss
arises from the fact that little or nc
grading is done by the buyers from
the growers, and an average price is
paid for a lot Of cotton, say 20 bales,
or in the terms of tarde, 40 IL cents
all around" whereas if the lot wal
strictly graded, the average price
would be higher. After this cotton
goes into the hands Of the dealers
or mills, particularly in the dealers
hands, It is graded strictly, for he
sells it On grade. In other words, II
all cotton trading, except from the
farmer to the dealer, the question o!
grade Ia strictly maintained.
A difference Of ever 1-16 Of a cent
amounts to a small SUM on a single
bale, but when the total crop Is taker
into consideration, the aggregate runs
into many hundreds thousand dollars
all Of which belongs to the farmer
who grew 1t.

DELAY Starting Of Schedule.

It was learned at Sumter that 1t
had been the intention of the South
Carolina Western Railway officials to
inaugurate a regular schedule of
trains on it's new road between Sum
ter and Huntsville by the 18th Of this
month, but owing to the fact that
there was still about eight miles more
to be surfaced which would require
about two weeks with weather condi-
lions favorable and a full force OF
hands at work, it is probable that the
commencement Of the service on the
road will have to be delayed for about
two weeks more. The initial sched-
ule will be arranged so that trains
will operate between Sumter and
Hartsville morning and afternoon, go
ing both ways, so as to make connec-
lions with trains going north in the
afternoon, and with those going south
in the morning. Connections will also
be made by this schedule with OAR
lington and Florence both morning
and evening.
