United States Senate, the majority
against him being between $4,000 and
10000 votes.
Senator E. D. Smith has been re-
nominated on the first ballot. His
majority will be not less than 10000
votes. 1t will probably 60 higher.
In the race for governor, Manning,
Cooper and Richards are running neck
and neck. About 10000 votes are
accounted for by The News and Cour-
ier in this contest and there are prob
ably from 10000 to $4,000 votes still
to be heard from. The official count
will likely be required to determine
which two of these three will have to
run over.
Andrew ]. Bethea, antiBlease capdi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, will run
over with B. Frank Kelley, the Blease
candidate.

The second race for railroad COM
missioner will be run off between
Frank w. Shealey, of Lexington and
C. d. Fortner, of Spartanburg.
There were many surprises in the
Senatorial contest Counties which
two years ago gave heavy majorities
for Blease either went against him
this time or else the majorities were
much reduced. He secured majorities
on Tuesday in but eight counties
according to the figures in hand, and
in most of these the majorities were
small and in some may disappear.
Smith seems to have secured either
a majority or plurality in every
county except Aiken, Anderson
Cherokee, Chesterfield, Clarendon
Georgetown, PSkens, Union and
York.
There are less than Is boxes miss
ing in the race for Senator, and these
cannot change the results.
The totals in the race for Senator

dissolved. Such a decision by the
Supreme Court a few years ago would
have kindled a confidence that free
competition would naturally follow.
and that all the evils of restrained
trade would disappear like morning
mist. But the public has learned by
sorrowful experience that dissolutions
do not necessarily dissolve. The Stan
dard Oil, Tobacco and other trusts.
against which the Supreme Court
decided, continue to flourish, and even
to pay larger dividends than before.
All of which goes to show that the
machinery of the law is very imper-
feet. Doubtless the time will come
when a decree of dissolution will actu-
ally mean something.

A judge has sentenced a young man
who drinks heavily to get married
within a month. That Judge must be
a survival from the Dark Ages. What
of the woman that might be cajoled
into marrying such a sot? No man
is fit for Judge or any other position
who gives such sentence. His views
Of home and marriage, to say nothing
of the rights and happiness of wo-
man, are an insult to the intelligence

deposed from its throne a will no
longer be the exclusive moAey crop Of
the South. At the organization Of
the Chesterfield County division OF
this Congress chairman and com.
mittee Of one from each township
were charged with ascertaining how
much warehouse room this county
has, and also to take steps looking
to the holding of cotton, with perhaps
other duties.
1t is suggested that this organiza-
tion also consider the adyisability of
the planting of some other crop to
take the place of at least a large
part of the cotton now being raised
1t will take cooperation and wise
judgment to select and to introduce
successfully the raising of any 9th
er product. 1t will have to be one
that this section can produce as wei
as it is now produced elsewhere and
at no greater expense. and such prod,
uct, when found, will have to be in.
troduced by the united action of a
large number of planters, so that fa-
cilities for handling and marketing
can be had without the great expense
which would fall on one or two men
who try a new product
1t is suggested that this question be
taken up by the committee and that
any and all persons who have ideas
along this line suggest same to the
committeeman in their respective
townships.
In the meantime all cotton growers,
who owe debts on the crop, should
make arrangements at once with
their creditors, to their best mutual
interests, to so handle this cotton
as to pay the debts and conserve the
surplus, and all who are able to hold
their own cotton should do so until
the market is again established, bor-
rowing, if necessary and practicable,
as small an amount thereon as is
possible. No one knows what is
ahead of us. Cotton may be Is or s
cents a pound next spring and we
should, as fal as in us lies, be ready
for either contingency.

THE COTTON SITUATION.

The cotton situation as developed
by the war in Europe, is the most Sc
rious thing that has befallen the
South since the civil war and de-
mands the best judgment and the CO.
operation of cotton growers, mer-
chants, bankers, and in fact every
laboring man, to enable it to be
properly faced and handled without
the most serious disaster to all in
terests in the cotton states. While
almost all of the cotton made in this
section has been made upon borrowed
money, the sources from which this
money came are we'll nigh, if not en-
tirely exhausted, and just as all mer-
chants, bankers, fertilizer compa-
nies and others, who advance to far
mers were expecting to receive pay
ment of all these debts, 1t appears
that cotton cannot be sold and that
those who made it as we'll as those
who enabled it to be made are alike
helpless to turn it into money.
The only thing to be done is to
self-reliantly do what can be done
and not depend upon the government
or outside help, but while Of course
taking advantage of all help in sight
from any quarter to sail as close to
the wind as possible and mutually do
all that can be done to stand the
strain, helping each other, the farm
er doing all he can for the creditor
and the creditor doing all he can for
the farmer. 1t Is idle and visionary
to expect the government, either of
the United States or of the State, to
do much to relieve the situation, fur
ther than that the general govern
ment can so place its funds as to be
most available to the cotton owner,
and the State pass some act looking
to establishment of warehouses.
This section never before needed
warehouses, and no cotton produc.
ing country has much use for them
as in normal times cotton Is better
disposed of at once, and in the vast
majority Of cases, where it is held
it is done at a loss to the holder.
Such arrangements, If now made, will
come very late to assist the present
emergency. Whether arrangements
now being undertaken by the South
ern Cotton Congress, through its State
and County organizations, by which
cotton, or a large part of the crop
can be held until better prices are
obtainable are fully successful or not

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York February 26.-(Special. ~ Isu-
rope shows a much better attitude toward
the market than expected as the large vs-
ble supply usually dominates their ae-
tion. There must be n better trade de-
mand abroad than known OF TO maintain
the Liverpool market in face OF this
supply. Possibly the mill stocks may be
lighter, but we shall soon know from the
spinners federation figures on March /.
Here the market, though very dull
showed a slightly better tone, but the
feeling Is so discouraged that the local
trade does not care TO follow Liverpool.
We believe the tenders tomorrow will be
taken up. We estimate some 50,0o0 bales
will be offered.

BEARS RENEW THE
ATTACK At OPENING
Heavy Selling With Decline
Small and of Short
Duration

New York, February 26.-The aggres-
sive bear party which took control of
the market yesterday renewed the at
tack at the opening today. There was
heavy selling but the decline was small
and of short duration. A better demand
appeared at the lower level. and the
downward movement was checked. The
shorts, unable to bring about fur
ther break, began to cover and prices
rose fractionally above yesterdays
lose There the movement ended. Trad
ng in the latter part of the day was
ight
Foreign selling was less of an infiu-
snce than on the preceding day, al
though London continued to dispose
IF stocks here. Sales for European ac-
sount amounted to perhaps 10000
shares Foreign selling of the low
priced railroad stocks, an unsettling in
1uence yesterday, subsidized today and
hese issues made better showing.
Denver and Rio Grande and Rock
ISLAND shares made good gains and the
ieclines in Missouri Pacific and the
Wabash and Missouri, Kansas and Tex
rs stocks was halted.
Operations on the long side made no
attempt to force up the market. The
possibility of shift at any time in
he Mexican situation made traders re-
uctant. Heaviness of foreign markets
. md suggestions of serious financial diff
iculties in Paris also held back this
market.
The January figures of the Hartman
ines were in line with the reports of
,ther railroads indicating a general
falling off in gross earnings. Union
Pacifics gross decreased $4,000, but
the net shrinkage was held to $4,000
by means of a contraction in operating
expenses.
= Southern Pacific's gross decreased
$4,000 and it's net nearly as much.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, $2.675,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.
