Charleston is conspicuous illustra-
tion Of the impossibility Of ones be-
ing able to lift himself by his boot
straps. There are many useful pro-
.ductive citizens in the old town, 1t is
true; but with so many people engaged
in illegal, vicious and non-productive
business, like liquor selling, gambling
and the like, there is little hope for
substantial progress. Charleston needs
to examine herself, reform and be-
come more useful. ....

The New York cotton exchange has
seen the handwriting on the wall as
interpreted by Senator McLaurin and
is showing disposition to get from

warehouse bill the balance will be
easy sailing.

has been adopted by the exchange.
Senator McLaurin went to New York
with T. B. Stackhouse and NJ. c.
Heath, as representatives Of the Coz
lumbia chamber Of commerce. Sena-
tor McLaurin was the spokesman for
the delegation and advocated q change
In rules to allow cotton delivered In
the south on New York contracts, and
other changes to prevent gambling In
futures. Monday evenings Columbia
Record says: A New York dispatch
received this morning conveys the
important information that, fearful OF
drastic legislation as outlined by Sena-
tor John L. McLaurin Of Benefits
Vile, and his associates to the cotton
exchange last week, and aware that
congress would soon take action, and
still smarting over the severe criti-
cism from South Carolina's statesmen
and cotton experts, the board Of man
ayers OF the New York cotton ex-
change late Saturday made sweeping
changes In its rules and regulations
which will wipe out gambling In cot
ton futures on the New York ex-
change. The remedy for wiping out
gambling in futures and artificial en-
hancement OF prices through the for
nation of pools. as indicated by the
government some time ago, Is con-
tained in rule No. q, which has just
been adopted by the board Of mama
gers. It Is as follows: "The extern
sion Of credits to any person, firm.
or association OF persons
.other than members OF the New
York cotton exchange and those active
ly engaged in the cotton trade-is de-
clared to be an act detrimental to the
best interests of the exchange, and is
hereby prohibited. Any member vio-
lating the provisions Of this rule shall
be subject to suspension or expulsion
under section 90 fa) OF the bylaws.
The words actively engaged as used
in the foregoing paragraph shall be
construed to apply to those persons
who make the cotton trade their oc-
cupation and devote to II the greater
part Of their business activities"
Prohibition of credit to persons out
side the cotton business will deprive
the speculator in cotton Of his chief
asset, as gambling in futures in the
past has been conducted on margins.

ALMA TRIMMED Az TO O.
Ann Arbor Freshmen Defeat College
Team on University Grounds.

In speaking of last Saturdays foot
ball game between the University
Freshmen and the Alma College
team, the Detroit Tribune of Sunday
said: "The Michigan All-Fresh were
forced to swallow the bitter with the
sweet today. They kept up the ter
rifle pace they have set all year and
walloped Alma college AZ to 0, but
two of the men are now lying in Uni
versity hospital with broken ankles.
On the first play in the second quar-
ter, Huebel, the little fellow who has
been playing star game at end and
quarter all year and who is a brother
of Hub" Huebel, quarter on last
years varsity, went under play and
when the pile up was dissolved he
was carried from the field and taken
to the hospital in an ambulance In
the same quarter, the man who played
right next to Huebel, Cerney, was
carried off with a broken ankle and
he was taken also to the hospital.
CAS- usual, Maulbetch engaged in a
little circus all his own and scored
five of the seven touchdowns. Splawn
and Zieger each got one of the count
ers. In the first and fourth counters
the Alma bunch only allowed the
Fresh to get one touchdown but in
the other two periods, the parade
was characterized by its consistency.
In the last period, Douglass showed
nearly every man on the field into the
game and the team play of course
was weaker Alma tried to run the
ends but only twice during the en-
gagement were they able to make
first down. The 3O-yard line was
nearest they came to the All-Fresh
goal and they got only short look
at the white posts from that point of
vantage.
The most noticeable features Of the
game was the punting of Splawn,
against the wind He drove the ball
sixty yards on nearly every boot and
with the wind behind him he sent the
oval between 20 and rs yards. Wood
at full and Vogt at quarter played
the most consistent games for the
collegians."

so well known and is of such ma

of the fact that it is the result of the
literary efforts of such distinguish
