he WANTS ANOTHER PARTY.

The National Prohibition par
ty is a distinct political party, as
much so as the Democratic or
Republican, on several occasions
it had a ticket in the field, the
gentleman who was honored
with leadership in more than
one campaign, Mr.. Chafin has
recently toured the South, and
made several speeches in this
State, whether his visit in this
State had any significance we
know not, but there is no doubt
that it would be gratifying to
his party if the South could be
enlisted under it's banner. In
a recent issue Of The State Rev.
Burton of Columbia has an arti
Gle discussing the present con
ditions from a prohibition stand
point, and he suggests, as the
only remedy, the formation of a
Prohibition party. If Mr.. Bur
tons suggestion is accepted. a
very large proportion of our
voters must sever their con
nection with the Democratic or
ganization, because, they could
not belong to the Democratic
party and the Prohibition party
at the same time.
The matter of having two par
ties in this State has been fire.
quently mooted: it has given
many good men considerable
concern, they realize that one
party is not for the best, and
yet, because of our peculiar sit
ution they hesitate to take the
chances of jeopardizing white
supremacy; were it not for this
situation there would have been
two or more parties long ago,
men who would like to discuss
live issues are prevented by the
one party embargo; they must
stife their independent man
hood for party sake. But we
think this condition can be rem
edied by having an open white
mans primary where all manner
of issues and party principles
can be taken into and discussed.
and the principles endorsed by
the majority shall be the senti-
ment of the State at the general
election, as it is now, the Demo
cratic primary only admits the
platform as enunciated in con-
vention, and the platforms of
the Prohibition or Republican
or Socialist parties are barred. !
The day is approaching when
there will be more independence |
in our politics. such men as Mr.. !
Burton realize this. hence their
outspoken willingness for the
formation of a party represent.
ing his views. Men of his stamp
would go out and take the
chances of defeat for principle
sake rather than to win for party
sake, In other words principle
with him is more important than
eXpediency.

IS IT GOOD FOR THE MILLS TO CONTROL?

The News and Courier of Mon
day has a very sensible editorial
on what is known as "The Clarke
Amendment" AS heretofore ex-
pressed IN these columns, We
We're among those who became
educated, in the belief that to the
manipulations of the cotton ex-
changes the complaints of the
farmers are due, but since this
congress has convened, and the
m after of abolishing the ex-
changes has been seriously con-
sidered-the Clarke amendment
in effect will abolish the ex-
changes. we have given more
consideration to the subject, and
have read the views of a number
of writer's whom we consider
authority, and, the conclusion
reached is, the tax of one tenth
of a cent a pound on all cotton
sold for future delivery is not a
good thing for the producer, on
the contrary, if the exchanges
are abolished the farmers will
not be able to handle the situa
tion near as well as it is being
handled now. Abolish the cotton
exchanges, and the mills will
come in direct contact with the
producer, they will not buy any
more material than they con-
sumo, and, as a consequence,
they will only stock up as a mer-
chant does his stock of goods,
when this is the case, we see
danger ahead for the tton
movement being embarassingly
slow for the man who toiled in
the summer sun to make it, in
stead Of the staple being king as
it IS often proclaimed, it will be
the humblest of subjects ruled
by the manufacturers, and be
sides this, we also see great dan
ger of the manufacturing centers
of Europe having an advantage
which will give to them the con
trolling force in fixing a price
for the staple.
Bremen. Liverpool and Havre
are now looking forward with
much anticipation to the work of
congress, and when the Demo
cratic caucus adopted the Clarke
amendment the effect was i'm
mediately felt in this country by
the price going off over 80 points.
but when it became known that
a compromise had been effected
so the measure would not become
effective until next September.
t h e price steadied somewhat,
however, the uneasiness remains,
and will remain until congress
adjourns. The more we read
about this subject the more are
we convinced the cotton produc-
ers will not be helped by this
legislation: out yet hope when
the measure has further consid-
GRAFTON by the House 1t will be
stricken out altogether.

men, it will be impossible to
make a nomination on the first
ballot; after the complimentary
votes have been cast and the
number of candidates reduced to
two, it will then be time for the
records of those to be voted for,
to be made known, especially, if
there is anything in the record
of either of the aspirants which
reflects upon his integrity or his
ability, or if this is too late, let
the candidates themselves look
after the records of their oppo-
nents on the hustings, which
they are very likely to do. but
by all means do not fill the read
ing space in the newspapers
with attacks written by a candi
date, but signed by one of his
followers before it is presented
to the newspapers for publica-
tion, as is alleged to have been
done not long ago in one of the
large upper counties where the
candidate had reasons to believe
the object of his attack was par.
ticularly strong, should he de-
eide to enter the race.
1t is our judgment the people
are not bothering themselves at
this time with the aspirations of
candidates for governor, or any
other Office, except, perhaps it
be a few individuals prompted
by a selfish motive or who wish
to soothe a sore ranking in their
breasts because of disappoint
ment in the past, out the masses
have other matters to occupy
their thoughts, they would much
prefer to be let alone until the
proper time comes for them to
decide, when this time arrives,
they will prove themselves cap
able of making their selection:
independent of those who would
like to be regarded the political
sponsors of a community. The
people are more independent
than they used to be, at one
time a few men in county con-
trolled it's political destinies, a
candidate who did not have their
favor was strictly out of it, but
it IS not so today, almost every
man finds out for his own salts
faction who he wishes to vote
for, and he votes that way re-
gardless of results. Therefore
we say there is no need of jump
ing on anybody merely because
it has been mentioned that he
may be a candidate for a high
Office, when it is done, it
should have the opposite effect
the attack intended.

ter oh6cered. The fact of certain
newspapers endeavoring to chill
the sentiment favoring Nc
Laurin, being of the class that
was so bitter last year, and which
have always been opposed to the
popular choice of the masses, is
an Indication that they fear the
man they are trying to keep
back, they fear the people will
take him up as their leader as
they have chosen leaders in the
past, and it will mean the rele-
eating of politicians nov in the
hey-day of their power.
If these newspapers do not
favor McLaurin for governor, it
is their right to oppose him
when he has announced that be
will be candidate, but when
they offer their opposition in ad-
vance, and this opposition COM
ing from the source it does. it
creates the suspicion that there
is a systematic scheme in opera
ton to crush out any who are
not branded with their mark of
factional politics. We think we
see signs of this newspaper
crushing combination, and we
believe the masses will soon see
the marks of it. The agitation
for changes in our primary sys-
TEN, and the enactment of stat
utory laws which will have the
effect of curtailing the white
vote of the State, is. in onr opin-
ION, but a part of the scheme to
capture the control of the gov
ernment. If this is not the case,
then why not let those who are
endeavoring to wipe out faction
allsm so that men may be select
ed for public Office on the merit
plan, create the sentiment among
the people? Instead of throwing
obstacles in the way, and Great
ing false impressions for the
purpose of diverting the public
mind from the purposes of those
who do not want the breach

COTTON GROWERS CAN PROTECT
THEMSELVES.

Should the amendment to the
tariff bill now pending in con-
gress, which proposes to put a
heavy tax on cotton sold for
future delivery be enacted into
law, it is the concensus of opln-
ion that 1t will practically put
the cotton exchanges out of bus
mess, in that case, the only hope
for the producer of cotton to
keep out of the manufacturers
clutches, is for each cotton
growing state to take up the
bill now pending in the South
Carolina senate seeking to com.
NIT the state to a standardized
system of warehousing the pro
duct; if this done, and it is pro
perly conducted with a financial
backing such an institution is
likely to command. there may
be relief found from the exac-
tions Of those who now think
with the speculative feature
taken away from the product,
they will be able to manage 1t
their own way. 1t will be re-
called that one of the main rea
sons for the high price of meat,
is not it's scarcity, but the fact
that the packers have managed
to keep this needful product from
getting into the hands of the
consumers only as they wished
it to 60 out. How is this done?
The packers warehouse it, by
placing meats in cold storage
where they can keep it indef.
nately, the country may want
meat, but this food is packed
away until the price for itcomes;
just so with cotton, it is a neces.
sity, almost as much so as meat,
and if the growers will consent
to a warehouse system with the
State as it's sponsor to keep it in
storage. we see no reason why
they too, cannot say to the con-
sumer what the price shall be.
If the cotton centers Of Europe
find it to their advantage to have
the American exchange put out
Of business by exacting an inhi
bitive tax on future or specula-
tive dealing, then it must also
be to the advantage of the grow
er to protect himself from any
arbitrary price fixed in the
foreign market. Therefore we
say if the growers of this coun-
try will fortif.v themselves
against the mills, many of which
are controlled by foreign fnan-
ciers, by inaugurating a stand
ardized cotton warehouse system,
they will have a voice in fixing
the price of their product, if
they do not, they will have sur
rendered much of their advan
tage that a monopoly should
give. To US it looks like case
of going to sleep or being wide,
awake at the switch.

down the backs of those charged

EVERY WEDNESDAY
TIE PEOPLE ARE HoT Billed.

We agree with The Florence
Times that there is no room in
the coming gubernatorial contest
for a coat-tail swinger. But
what we cannot understand about
The Florence newspaper, and
other newspapers Of its ilk, is
why they persist in trying to
create the impression that John
L. McLaprin is a coat-tail swing
er, when that gentleman has not
said he will be a candidate. but
should he be, he would conduct
his campaign upon non-factional
lines. It will be remembered it
was McLaurin who did valient
service years ago to wipe out the
bitter factional spirit that had
been worked up in the people; it
was he and his friends who start
ed the Forty Movement a Ind
made it possible for'the Conser-
vatives to have a show in poll
tics, McLaurin's attitude then
was heartily approved, but it re-
suited in bringing down upon
him the wrath Of the political
power of the State,-it was the
beginning Of his break with Till
man, however, he accomplished
his purpose, which was to bring
the people together again, and
they continued to be in harmony
until recently, when thev became
torn asunder again by factional
strife. McLaurin says he does
not endorse factionalism. he is
constantly arguing against it,
and should he consent to make
the race for governor, We feel
sure he will make his appeal to
the masses independent OF fac.
tons. But the element trying to
anticipate his becoming a candi.
date would have the public mind
poisoned in advance Of his CON-
ing, by endeavoring to make it
appear that McLaurin's entrance
will be as 8 coat.tail swinger to
Blease, there is absolutely no
ground for such an impression,
unless they accept as a ground
that McLaurin has not gone
about denouncing Blease and the
people who supported him. We
presume, had he joined in the
hue and cry last, year, and de-
nounced the Blease supporters
as hoodlums and anarchists he
would stand in better favor with
the element now misrepresent-
ing. AS long as agitators con.
tinue the tactics they are play
ing, so long will the State be d.
vided into factions with the at-
tending irritation; if they will
only get down to the work OF
bringing the people together by
urging the abandonment of fac
tionalism, friction will cease, and
the government will be the bet
