New York, July 24.-The conviction
that the long period Of drought in
Texas was about to be broken was SO
strong among cotton traders today that
they sold heavily throughout almost
the entire session, forcing new crops

down Il points at its lowest interval.
All positions rallied slightly lust be-
fore the close on rumors that tho
rains reported via private wire. At
a number of points in Texas were
nothing but sprinklcs. The break in
August was the result of heavy liuui-
uauon by traders who had accumu-
lated that contract on a mistaken idea
that Liverpool took up August bought

What Time l am Afraid.
Editor Daily Item.

Editor Daily Item.
Some questions that arise cause
great anxiety and fear to those who
are deeply concerned for the moral
welfare and physical good OF a COM
munity. There Is no discount upon
one who feels fear in the presence
Of that which rightly produces fear.
The only thing that discounts is fail
ure because of fear
The election to be held upon the
question of dispensary or no dspen-
sary Is n source Of anxiety and fear.
II Is all .of that. There are those
of us who oppose whiskey selling
who realize this question means dang
er. ii may cause the moral and ply
sical undoing of home, man, a
child. This is sufficient reason for
anxiety and fear.
There Is another source of fear.
Put 4 this way-I have a neighbor
who Is n clever and straight man, he
does not desire to hurt me or mine;
but he is anxious or willing to put
whiskey on sale right near my house
and his. This man Is to be feared
His good character and good will
put along with his idea and wish
about whiskey selling make him
more dangerous than q vicious man,
much as vicious man is to be fear
ed
He who advocates that which may
easily injure me or mine is to be
feared and is ~ source OF danger. The
vicious and openly harmful can be
seen, despiscd, or let alone, or avoid
ed. But when those for whom 1 care
would authorize fellow townsman to
sell liquor they become q source OF
danger and are greatly to be feared
This is the idea. Can l be a true
neighbor and put into the community
that which will hurt? Can / afford to
be such II man that my friends must
be afraid for their very life because
of my opinion and vote?

Slight Wreck on Northwestern.

Sand, which had been washd up
over Il switch crossing by the heavy
rains caused n slight wreck on the
Northwestern railroad at Bloomville
Wednesday afternoon about $50. The
engine and tender left the track. but
no one on the train suffered any IN
jury. Some difficulty was encounter
ed, however, in putting the engine
back on the track, it being after | ,
o'clock at night when the train final
ly reached Sumter. Probably the
most disagrecable feature Of the
wreck was the fact that several hun
drCd piCniCkcrs out at POCalla Springs
for the day were disappointed in IA
means Of transportation back home
after their days frOliC, though n
good many were able to secure au-
tomoble and buggy transportation
back to Sumter.

TILLMAN ON VOTING
Denies that He Has Changed Front
In Regard to Giving Ballot to
Every White Man.

The News and Courier has received
from Senator Tillman for publication
the following oper letter to the editor
Of the Orangeburg Sun:
To the Editor of the Orangeburg
Sun, Orangeburg, S. C.-Dear Sir: In
your paper of Friday, July Is, l find
this:
I'm the days when Tillman was
seeking election and reelection he
was always 'whoOping it up that ev-
cry white man should be allowed to
vote. Now he seems to have gone
back on all that and doesn't care a
rap whether the poor white gets a
registration certificate or not. Till
man, Of course, never expects to run
for office again"
Candidly, Mr.. Editor, isn't that un.
kind as well as untrue? Honor
bright now, and say yes or no.
The only time l recall ever having
stressed, or had anything to say
about every white man being al
lowed to vote was when | was urging
the calling of the Constitutional Con-
vcntion, and when some newspapers
were bowling about the poor man
never being allowed to vote again if
the Constitutional Convention was
called. l told my friends among the
poor white people then that / would
suffer my right arm to be taken off
before l would consent to any consti-
tutiOnal provision which did not safe
guard the ballot to every white man.
They had confidence in me enough
to vote for the Constitutional Con-
ventiOn, and we got it by q narrow
margin-abOut two thousand votes in
the state, l think
L redeemed my pledge in the Con-
stitutional Convention itself by Civ
ing three years in which the poor
boys about to become of age could
qualify themselves by learning to read
and write, and l would not hear to a
property qualification, except as an
alternative.
A man must read and write a
clause in the Constitution, or pay tax
es on three hundred dollars worth of
property. l quote from the Constitu-
ton itself.
| safcguarded the ballot of every
white man and at the same time
maintained white supremacy. Thous-
ands of poor white men last year were
bamboozlcd into believing | was no
longer their friend, and they say "a
lie we'll stuck to is as good as the
truth" | suppose that is the reason
why this story has continued to be
spread abroad.
While | do not ever expect to r.n
for office again simply because | will
die before the six years OF my term
expire, | cannot tamely submit to
have falschoods circulated about me
which are absolutely unjustihable as
we'll as unreasonable
Very respectfully yours.
b. II. Tillman.

The Mexican authorities could very
reasonably represent to us that with

Would not the logical and proper
answer on the part OF the United

Charles F. Marvin.

some odorless substances, so that the
odors are diminished or changed.
This is partly due to the fact that
the ozone masks the Objectionable
odors by its own odor, and partly to
the fact that ozone deadens the SEN
sibility of the nose, so that objection
able odors are less susceptible. Some
odors are masked by ozone even in
weak concentration. but it is doubtful
whether this masking of odors is de-
sirable or advantageous. The un-
pleasant odor in shops, offices and liv-
Ing rooms, due to insufficient ventila-
ton, is usually a sign that the air
needs to be renewed Why should we
deaden the sensitiveness Of the nose,
which aids us in determining whether
the air is fit to breath? This is
wrong in principle. Ozone when used
in this way is simply a crutch to
bolster up poor ventilating systems.
Ozone does not make pure air" any
more than strong spices make pure
food If used in a highly concentrat-
ed form, ozone has an injurious effect
on both man and animal, irritating the
throat and lungs. These experiments
of the Chicago scientists are further
confirmed by experiments carried on
by the Hygienic Laboratory of the Cal
ifornia State Board of Health, the re-
suits of which appear in the same is
sue of The Journal. These conclu-
sions of eminent scientific men sim
ply confirm the eXperinCe and obser-
vations of past generations. There Is
no air so good as outdoor air, and the
best way to get it is to open a door
or a window. Modern mechanical de-
vices for purifying the air. as well
as elaborate systems for artificial ven
tilation are, in the main, delusions
and snares. If you want good air
and everybody does, if they can get
it-go outdoors and get it, or let the

popular delusions, the ozone myth has
ytical eye of the scientist. Professors
Jordan and Carlson of the University
of Chicago have carried on an extern
sive series of observations and expert
ments to determine the exact effect
and value of ozone. The conclusions
reached by the men of science is that
the hygienic value of ozone would be
hardly worth considering were it not
for the persistent and eXtravagant
claims made by the manufacturers and
promoters of ozone generators. So
far as the destruction of germs are
concerned, these claims have little or
no foundation. Some bacteria are un-
doubtedly killed by ozone under GER
, tcin conditions, but this fact is of lit
tie importance in practical use. Ex-
periments carried on show that human
beings are injuriously affected by an
amount of ozone far less than is neces-
sary to kill the germs. There is no
evidence for supposing that the guam
tity of ozone that can be tolerated by
human being has the slightest ger
micidal action. If disinfection of a
room is desired it can much more eff
fectively be carried out in other ways
Ozone is of no value in room disinfec'

ozone is of no value as a deodorizer
