OUR LONE. PREDICTION

This papzr does not pretend to be
a forecaster, but we wish to remind
our readers OF one statement we made
last week, We stated that in our
opinion Mr.. Manning was the man for
governor who had the greatest
strength Throughout. the state. Our
statement has been verified.
In Greenville and Greenwood, q
great many men VINO were normally
for Mr.. Manning were swept of their
feet by the rush Of Cooper IN the last
few days of the campaign. Had those
votes which were originally his been
given to Mr.. Manning, he would be
several hundred In the lead OF all tis.
other candidates. We make this
statement without reference to the fu-
ture. but merely to prove that our
Judgment was correct. and that at the
time we sbske Mr.. Manning was the
leading candidate.

SENATOR T.. ID. SMITH


The biennial primary election which
has Just passed has brought a great
deal OF satisfaction to the friends OF
Senator L. d. Smith The really su-
perb vote by which he was returned
to his seat in congress Is an express
sion OF approval from the people of
his state.
AS matter Os fact, that is. or
shou,o have been the issue in the cam
paign. las Senator Smith made a
good representative of his people. He
was opposed by three splendid cam
paigners. two or whom made sport OF
his claims to useful service and the
other made as airoit Il campa ign
against Senator Smiths public record
OF the state.
But the people have decrced that
they wish to hav. Senator Smith rep
resent them for another six years and
this victory must indeed be very graf
flying to the friends OF the Senator.
Anderson county has always been
partial to Senator Smiths chief op-
ponent In this race. and the fact that
Gov. Blease got such slight majority
this time after having showed Judge
Jones under two years ago. and hav-
ing defeated native son, G.. G.. Fca-
therstone. four years ago. was great
surprise. There was dual reason for
this. First Senator Smith was popu-
lar here. and second, the governor has
mane enemies during his administra-
ton and could not expect the county
to go for him as Fearly IN m'~nimous as
It did two years ago.
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found a sketch of Senator Smith and
the things he stands for. He has a
great opportunity ahead of him now.
He Ia the exponent of the cotton farm
ers OF the South and we believe that
this is his opportunity. With the
training that he has had, he should y.
once go to work to promote any plans
that may offer success in the matter
OF extending the trade Of the southern
cotton mills to the people of South
America and in this way to take the
trade which has been going to warning
European antions. No doubt the last
year Of the Senator's service has been
more or less hampered by the thought
cc the campaign which has just con-
cluded, but now he is free and un-
trammelled. and we expect great
things from him In the future.

which was organized as the South
ern Cotton association for the first
time in history an effort was made to
nave the cotton stored and TO have the
farmers fix the price. Senator Smith
was made field agent. His territory
was the entire south and he soon be-
came national figure because Of the
nationwide interest which the move
ment had attracted and the eloquent
speeches he made in defense OF the
movement at New Orleans, Birming-
ham, Shreveport and Dallas. For 3
years Senator Smith served in this ca
pacity, from 1905 to 1908 and the farm
ers OF the State united in solid phalanx
and promoted the cotton leader to
the United States senate.
In the present campaign Senator
Smith has been chided for dcvoting
most OF his time for five and one-half
years to farmers interests in the Uni
tea States senate. For this he has
made no apology. His platform six
years ago, as in this campaign, was to
see that "the farmers, those who create
the real wealth of the world shall
have their proper share" Ill legisla-
ton which he initiated has been with
this end in view
VI OIL thC SOOu WOIh tlldt SENATOR
Smith has done. that of which he is
most proud is the standardization of
cotton grades and the writing of sec
tfon 13 into the new banking and cur
rency law.
The first enables the farmer to conf
pare the sample of the product he Is
putting on the market with the ma
tional grades and to ascertain the
quality of the produce. From the
daily quotation. he is in position to
know exactly what price he should OBJ
tain. 1t was also proved by this ex-
pertinent in testing the tensile
strength of the fibre and tho cost of
bleaching that IAN expert can't tell the
difference" in gradings in which pu/-
chasers made q difference last year
of $15 a bale.
The banking law amendment would
be the solution of the present demoral-
fzation OF the cotton market if the
banking law machinery were COM
plete0 End the law were in full poera-
tion. Thi.' amendment was an exten-
sion of timo for farmers notes from
80 days to u4nnths and made agri-
cultural produce collateral, on which
certain percentage OF the value could
be demanded of the national banks.
Ii the law were now in eject. this
would enable the farmers to holu their
cotton, without other necessary pro-
visions.
Another bill which Senator Smith
has fathered is to regulate cotton ex-
changes and compel cotton brokers to
hll contracts with grades contracted
for, without the alternative of substi-
tuting other grades. or the privilege of
making up the difference in price ad-
justment.
Two other resolutions in farmers
interests, originated by Senator Smith,
were to have the cotton tie and bag
ging and the nitrate and ammoniate
trusts investigated. In consequence
OF the. former, the cost of bagging and
ties has been cut practically in two.
Nitrate Of soda was reduced S13 ton
within eight weeks after the invest
tigation began.

August /, 1886, so that lie celebrated
his 4Sth birthday while the recent
campaign was In progress.
Senator Smith comes from family
that has contributed much in scholar
ly leadership to the Methodist Episco-
pal church. South. His father, the
Rev. William II. Smith. was one of
the historic circuit riders and was
we'll known and beloved throughout
South Carolina. Tive brothers fol-
lowed the example of their father and
ably carried forw3-d the labors which
he had laid down after Il long and un-
selfish life OF successful service

ability and training. forged to the
very forefront in leadership of the
church-A. Coke Smith being elevat-
ed to the rank of bishop and the Rev.
Charles b. Smith elected presiding
elder of his district. The mother,
Mary Isabelle McCloud Smith, came
from family OF influence through
out the State. which has contributed
many leaders to the various walks of
life.
Ellison DuRant Smith. after attend
ing the public and private schools at
Lynchburg, was prepared for college
at Stewards school. Charleston. He
then entered the FreS hman class OF
the University OF South Carolina, but
later he withdrew and completed his
college career at Wofford, the school
OF his church From this institution
he was graduated in 1889 with hon.
ors, receiving medals in debate, sci
ence and literature.
Twice he has been married. The
first wife was Miss Matte. Moorer OF
st. George. From this. union one son
was born, who after reaching the year
OF young manhood, accidentally shot
himself with 22-calibre rifle little
more than year ago. The young
man died from this wound a few days
later.
Senator Smiths present wife was
Miss Farley of Spar,anburg, niece Of
former Adiutant General Farley, and
OF VIII Farley, the famous Confede-
rate scout. Two little girls and one
little boy have blessed this union.
Senator Smith served two terms in
the state legislature-1896 to 1900
from Sumter county before his advent
into the cotton movement, which cul-
minated IL his election to the United
States senate.
1t is an old adage that the crisis de-
velops the leader" Senator Smith first
began to study the cotton situation
when Sully "cornered" the market,
and in consequence thS price was
driven to IL Cents. Wall street brok-
ers bearedA Athe pricesdevn to 6 1-2c
and broke the sp9culator. 1t was this
catastrophe that first z attracted the
attention of Farmer" Smith, who was
himself a planter, and who felt keen

in 1904, and f. d. Smith went as a
delegate to the cotton boil weevil
convention at ShpevesportFLa. Out OF
this developed the plans to hold a cot
