FACING REAL FIGHT
PROBLEMS OF MARKETING COT.
TON AGAIN PRESENTED TO
THE FARMERS.
THIS WORK HILL BE PUSHED
Planters, Bankers and Other Business
Men Interested Urged to Meet to
Adopt Fixed Policy of Marketing
the 1912 Cotton Crop.

Columbia.-The following report will
be of interest to the whole country:
To the Farmers, the Merchants, the
Bankers and the Press O. the South
Beginning with last September the
South, with dire disaster threatening
the nations greatest money crop, has
been engaged in one Of the greatest
economic struggles in her history. The
last year ended with commercial VIC
tory that perhaps saved millions OF
dollars to the growers Of cotton and
to those whose business interests are
absolutely dependent upon cotton and
a fair price for that commodity.
The South Is now facing another
cotton crop year and already the in
fluences that have heretofore been at
play, at will to manipulate the mar
keting of this commodity, which
brings back from Europe to this coun.
try a half-million dollars annually and
upon which the stability of American
finance and the balance Of the worlds
trade in favor of the nation depend,
are again at work, as Is evidenced by
the depression of the prices Of cotton
to the extent of so per bale In the
last ten days.
The real fight for proper marketing
and greater stability Of prices must
now be fought ,and 1t rests with the
producing, banking and commercial
interests Of the South to push that
fight upon sound economic lines based
upon business principles applicable to
changing international commercial re-
lations.

startlinn Waste of Coal,

Washington.-Of a production of
SOC, 600, 900 tons of coal in the United
States in the last year z50,O0O,OOO tons
were either wasted or left under,
ground, probably unfit for future use,
according to a statement by DR.. JOS
eph A. Holmes, director of the United
States Bureau of Mines. In addition
to this startling waste, DR.. Holmes de-
clared that users of coal, through
faulty methods, derived only about 1C
per cent of its energy from the coal
used, Furthermore, he added, the
loss by waste in other minerals, such
as zinc, nitrogan, potash, sulphur anc
natural gas, would reach into the hun
dreds of millions of dollars annually.

In the race for the United States
senate B. r. Tillman, the incumbent,
continued to run strongly, with the
indications that he would go on in
the first ballot. He more than dou-
bled N. B. Dial's votes and lacked but
little of gaining similar decisive
advantage over w. ]. Talbert, his
other opponent. The vote: Tillman
61,70O, Talbert 31,17s, Dial 1858.
Tillman's majority. 6,961.
For attorney general, J. Fraser Ly-
on, the incumbent, was running well
in front, but lacked the necessary
majority, and 1t was apparent that he
would have to make a second race
with Thos. ]. Peoples Of Barnwell.
Mr.. Lyon was nearly 1900 votes
ahead of Mr.. Peoples, but the voting
of the other two candidates more
than made this up. The vote stood:
Lyon 52,411, Peoples 3s,791, John R.
Earle l2,200, B. B. Evans 1O,S23.
For State treasurer, 8. T. Carter
kept up his remarkable run, bringing
his vote up to 72,557, to 41,376 for his
opponent, D. w. McLaurin.
John G.. Richards, Jr., seems likely
to 60 into Office for another term as
railroad commissioner without having
the trouble OF going into a. second
race. At a late hour Mr.. Richards
was leading the race by big margin,
and had enough lead, II held, to do
away with the necessity Of second
race. Mr.. Richards majority over
both his opponents Is 1,166. Later
returns, however, may cut this away.
Aside from the large vote cast, a
feature of the primary was the over
turn in many counties that went to
Blease in the last primary. Notable
among these were Orangeburg and
Charleston, especially the later Orange
burg, which went to Blease by a
small majority in 1910, gave Jones a
majority Of almost 1000.
hlCulduu COuulyJ "hOAO bNS "o"'
ragged hot all the time, gave a ma
jority to Blease, but 1t was far less
than that by which the county went
to the governor In the last primary.
Dorchester went for Jones by a
small majority, as did Calhoun, but
Dillon swung into the Blease column
along with Marion. Darlington was
about the same as Marion. In Flor
ence the race was close, with Jones
finally getting the advantage
Anderson's vast majority was what
really turned the scale, on the face
of the returns, in favor OF Blease
Aiken, which last time went to the
governor strongly, this time gave him
a comparatively small majority.
In Chester the two candidates got
an even break, the vote being ex
actly the same.

Of the Charleston police In ejecting a

action and other alleged unwarranted
acts which led to the mobilizing Of the

protection to the committee in count
ing the votes. The militia were held
for some hours at their armories, but
their services were not needed, as the

cribed to unusually fast work on the
part Of the managers, but as the bal
lots continued to pile in the con

observer that South Carolina had
broken its own record by some $4,000
votes in the race for governor.
Allegations Of illegal methods were
not wanting to stire up citizens. Into

showed any remarkable increase
stood as follows, there being about 81
