Some Of our Southern Senators and
COnErcssmcn arc making vigorous
protests against the ruling Of the
railroads and steamship lines which
impOSCs a tax Of 81 on each bale OF
cotton for export which is larger
than the standard Sizc-iifty-four by
twcnty-srvcn inches.
We believe that the arbitrary ad-
option Of this standard, and especial
u the fixing Of the penalty by the
transportation companies and the cot
ton buyers, was wrong. The growers
Of cotton had 4 right to be consulted,
and should have had Il voice in de-
tcrmining the amount Of the penalty
and the time it should go into effect
For these reasons, and because we
believe the amount Of the penalty
excessive and the length Of the no.
tice given too short, we shall be glad
20 see some action taken to postpone
the date when this penalty shall be-
Eome effective. We do not care to
see Southern farmers lose part Of
what they have worked hard to pro-
duce, because of some arbitrary reg
ulations fixed by transportation COM
panies and cotton exporters.
We realize, however, that a bale of
standard size is Il commercial neces-
Jity, and that it is to the interest Of
q
buys or handles cotton to do away
with the odd-shaped and odd-sized
bales. Il is no more than just that
The men who insist on sending such
bales to market be penalized, because
these bales of odd shape and size
entail extra expense in handling and
transporting the cotton crop. For
this reason the farmers should first
of all make sure that the gins they
patronize turn out bales of standard.
size. The ginncr who persists in
maintaining a box Of odd size should

stand the dollar loss on each bale,
FOR which ho is really responsible.

The farmers and ginnrrs do not act,

The Need of Skilled Sea men.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Need of
skilled seamen to handle life-boats
on ocean liners and the Volturno dis
aster were brought up to-day when
the Senate began work on the sea-
mems servitude bill.
Andrew Feruseth, representative
OF the Seamen's Union, in the effort
to secure legislation improving con-
ditionS of sailors, gave out a state
ment attributing part Of the loss Of
life on the Volturno TO the inehi-
cheney OF the life-boat men.
The Senate met to-day under an
agreement to take up the bill and
dispose Of it by October 23. It is
identical with one to which President
Taft gave a pocket veto.

Gave Him the SwelI-Head,
(Sumter Watchman.)

(Sumter Watchman.)
Senator John l.. McLaurin, in his
first Of a series of letters to the CO.
lumbia Record, makes the honest
confession that at the time he was
spouting his Commercial Democ-
racy' ideas, he was made so much
of that he did get the 'swelled
head, which caused all the trou-
Bile that came to him afterwards. 81
was too fond of praise and hattery,
too young and inexperienced to know
how tickle is popular applause"
frankly admits the ex-senator. In
commenting on his confession the
Lancaster News says:
The Marlboro statesman is now
an Older and should be wiser man.
If he does yield again to that subtle
influence, popular applause and
enter the race for Governor, it will
show that the swelling in his head
has not gone down. Better remain
on your farm, Senator McLaurin,
than to venture again on the treach-
erous sea of South Carolina politics."
Ex-senator McLaurin would do
well to heed the wise advice given
him by the News, but the chances
are that he is being made so much
Of again by certain politicians, who
only want to use him for their own
purposes, that he has forgotten chow
tickle is popular ap lause" and will
again venture Oil he tTeacherous
sea of South Carolina politics" to his
undoing. EXperier.o is a dear school,
but some people forget its teaching.

| have gotten the experience of
several Of the leading farmers in this
section with long staple cotton this
year, and none Of them is satisfied

From opinions expressed there will
be very decided falling off in acre
age Of long staple in this section next
year. rather expect that the bulk
of the money that has ever been
made on this venture was made from
the sale of the seed when it first
came out. Anyway, that is the way
the farmers talk to me, and | guess
we have about as successful farmers
in this section as there are in the

Select .;eNt Years SEED Now.

Now is the time to select the cot
ton seed for planting next spring, or
at least for selecting sufficient for a
seed patch next year on which to
grow seed for the following year. It
Is not much trouble to go through
the cotton fields and mark enough
stalks to plant a seed patch next
spring, even If It is too much trouble
to select sufficient seed for the whole
crop.
From observation we are convinc-
ed that many farmers make a seri-
GUS mistake when they select seed
by failing to give consideration to all
the important characters desirable
in plant. Or stating the case diff
fcrently, they make the mistake OF
giving undue prominence to one par
ticular character. An example o.
this error is found in selecting the
large ear of corn without regard to
other characters OF ear and stalk. or
in selecting cotton having five locks
to the boil without regard to the
other characters equally or more i'm
portant.
One important point which should
receive more attention in selecting
cotton seed Is to avoid taking seed
from stalks that are not free from
disease.
