The tabulated statement Of the vote
of the counties for delegates
to the national convention is from the
Columbia State, the only paper that
undertook to print such a statement
According to the statement printed in
the State, York gave two votes to
Blease: but that is a mistake. those two
votes having gone to Browning. The
tabulation has been corrected in so far
as York is concerned; but If there are
other errors we have no present means
Of correcting them. The totals are pub
lished as in other papers.

Attorney General Lyon made strong
argument against the constitutionality
Of the state warehouse case-about as
strong as the law permitted; but he
could not withhold a little attempted
demagogy even before the supreme
court, it seems. Among other things
he characterized the scheme as in the
interest of the rich man as against the
poor man, and also referred to the pos
sibility of a gigantic trust that would
grow out of the successful operation OF
the law. While we would not COM
mend the trust principle in any way,
still We cannot escape the proposition
that facts are facts, and If the people
pressed by all manner of trusts, we
would certainly like to know where the
trouble is. And If the people Of the
south are being bled and oppressed
and nothing is being done or can be
done to protect us from those truts,
where Is the wrong of our using the
means at hand for our own protection?
Who Of the south would be hurt by a
southern monopoly of raw cotton?
And if there is to be a trust and the
cotton producers are to be members of
that trust, who is to derive the real
benefit? We submit that the average
cotton producer is not to be classed as a
rich man, and it seems to us that this
is a trust that would benefit the poor
man. 1t would not only benefit the poor
man of the south. but it would benefit
the whole south. General Lyon is right
in fighting the constitutionality of the
law to the best of his ability. That Is
what he is there for: but we do not
think he is justified in using demagogic
arguments before the supreme court.
