Vote on Bonds

At the general election on Novem-
yer 5th the qualified voters OF South
,arolina will cast their ballot on the
question of issuing 100000 in bonds
or the construction Of the new state
.ospital for the insane. The Joint
resolution was written by Lowndes j.
Browning, chairman Of the ways and
means committee Of the house.
The joint resolution was intro
fluced in the general assembly by the
ways and means committee OF the
house Of representatives in February
# this year. 1t reached the senate
where it had a somewhat stormy ca
reer. Once the enacting words OF the
bill we're stricken out and there was
great opposition to it. However, 1t
was seen that if the general assem-
bly, did not provide for this bond Is
sue for the hospital the people would
in the future have to stand a large
appropriation for the improvements
TO the hospital. 1t IA the general
opinion among the legislators that
the bond issue would be more accept
able and the resolution carried. 1t
was ratified near the end OF the ses-
sion.

Convincing Answer.
COUNTRY WAITED FOR CLASH

When the country read on the morn.

this produce q parallel of the famous
episode of tho 1904 campaign, when

There was eager waiting for Cover

dispassionately Governor Wilson met

stance that the United States Steel
corporation Ia behind the third party
program with regard to the regulation
Of the trusts.
Nov. l do not say that to prejudice
you I am perfectly ready to admit
that the officers Of that corporation
may think that the third party Is the
best thing for the United States. That
Is not my point. My point Is that these
gentlemen have grown up in the at
mosphere Of the things they them
selves have created and that the laws
Of the United States 80 far have at
tempted to destroy the things that
they have created and that they now
want q government which Will perpet-
uate the things they have created.
You therefore have to choose now a

Wilson's "Retort Courteous"

The next night Governor Wilson
made this reply before the great au-
dience that greeted him in Kansas
City:
II understand from the newspaper
reports that Mr.. Roosevelt was dis
tressed by my suggestion the other day
that the United States Steel corpora
ton was back Of his plan for control
ling the trusts. He interpreted my re-
mark to mean that they were support
ing him with their money. I was not
thinking about money.
81 do not know whether they are
supporting him with their money or
not. 1t does not make any difference.
What I meant was that they are sup
porting him with their thought and
their thought Is not q thought. I
meant, and I say again, that the kind
Of contsol which be proposes Is the
kind OF control that the United States
Steel corporation wants.
Il am perfectly willing to admit that
they think 1t is the best for the eoun-
try. My point is that this is a method
conceived from the point OF view Of the
very men who are to be controlled and
that that is just the wrong point Of
view from which to conceive It.
III Mr.. Roosevelt Is willing to have
MIR. Perkins suggest how the corpora
tons ought to be regulated why will
he not be willing to take suggestions
from the same quarters as to the de-
tails Of the regulation? Mark you, Ia
dies and gentlemen. I am not discuss
ing individuals. J. know Mr.. George
Perkins. I have no quarrel with any.
thing except his Judgment. He does
not look at these things In the way

their minds to monopoly look at them"

MISS STINSON GETS
 AIR PILOTS LICENSE
FORMER PINE BLUFF GIRL FIRST WOMAN TO QUALIFY IN A
 WRIGHT MACHINE
Finished Tests By Altitude Flight Now Makes Her Home in
 Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, July 1S.-Hot Springs now claims the distinction of being the home of the only licensed woman aeroplane pilot in America. She took her final tests last Sunday and re- ceived her license from the Aero Club of Illinois, The following is from a Chicago paper;
 Miss Katherine Stinson became the first qualified woman aeroplane pilot to qualify on the first aeroplane ever made, the Wright biplane.
 Miss Stinson finished her pilot tests by an altitude flight The figures eight required were run off the day before, but there was no height reg istering instrument at the field and the altitude trial had to be postponed. She passed it easily, reaching 300 feet. Miss Stinson is the first woman to win license on the Wright biplane, the pioneer of all, and by reason of the retirement of Miss Mathilda Moissant and the death of Harriet Quimby and Julia Clark is now the only Ameri- can girl who is a licensed pilot
 Miss Stinson and her mother, who were one time residents of Pine Bluff have been residents of Hot Springs for two years. She is a Southerner, a mere slip of girl of perhaps eigh- teen years, and the last person one would select in crowd as the daring flying machine pilot she seems de- stined to be.

New Orleans, July 1S-Cctton--Fu- lures opened Steary, l point up to points down, compared Wi.h the close of yesterday. Cables were some what lower than due, but we're offset by continued rains in the eastern belt. Some rain fell in Texas over night, which encouraged selling af- ter the call, as did also the forecast for unsettled weather and showery weather for East Texas and Oklabo- ma. At the end of the first half hour of business the trading months were 4Ma points under yesterdays final quotations.
 Fuures opened steady. July 1920 M1326c; August, 12.92012.94c; Sep tember, 12.67M1269c; October, 12.49 012.50c; December, 12.4S012.49c; January, 12,53M 12 .54c March, 12,65c, asked; May, 12.76c asked.
 Around the middle of the morning the market strengthened on buying based on the forecast of more show CTS in the eastern belt and private reports from there of crop damage from excessive moisture. The detail- ed weather reports indicated that the rains over night in that section of the belt were much more heavy and general than was shown by the map. Shorts covered freely and longs were good buyers. At noon the trad ing months were 5M12 points over yesterdays close, July showing the most strength.

Democrats Applaud
 Republican Speaker
Representative Nye Declares Greed the
 ''Betsetting Sin of the Age.'

Washington, July 1S.-Representa- tive Nye of Minnesota (Rep). in a speech in the House Wednesday de- clared that fast living and prejudice, greed and cowardice' were the beset- ting sins of the age "We are confus- ing speed with progress, he said. "We have forgotten the God from whom comes all progress. We are worship ing wealth and human idols. Greed is teaching us, though, not to enshrine our heroes until they are dead, and a long time dead at that
 Amid Democratic applause MT. Nye paid his respects to the political re- former as follows:
 "A man to be a true reformer must not be an office-seeker. There is too much flim-flam, too much hippodrome, in many of the spacious pretensions and arguments of many reformers."
