The COTTON SITUATION.

We are forced to the conclu
sion that the farmers of the
South are going to realize very
poor prices for their cotton this
entire season. The efforts of the
National treasury department to
assist the farmers Of the country,
and particularly those of the
South, is a commendable one.
and should be assisted in every
way possible, but the bold and
insurmountable facts in the case
are that this country produces
near fifteen million bales Of cot
ton.each year. while the factories
of America consume about one
third of this amount, the rest
going to the various countries
of Europe to be manufactured.
The principal countries of Eu.
rope are now engaged in the
desperat throes of the most use
less and heartless and bloody
war in the history of the world,
and especially in modern ages,
and they have no time to manu-
facture cotton. ] be consequence
is that practically two thirds of
the American crop is for the
present just so much overplus.
This not only means that there
is no market for the two thirds
of the crop which is usually ex-
ported, but also means that the
one third which is manufactured
here will be bought at virtually
whatever price the manufacturer
chooses to pay for it. We hope
to see the governments ware

house lending plan do some
good, but it will be remembered
that the government does not
deposit funds in State banks,
and there is not a national bank
IN this county. By the time a
farmer keeps his cotton in a
warehouse four months and pays
insurance on it, and warehouse
storage, and borrows money at
high discounts from a State
bank, and that State bank bor-
rows from a national bank and
rediscounts there, and then when
the four months are up and the
notes have to be liquidated the
amount of the crop which has
been held is forced on the
market IN tne lace or practlcally
no demand, the outlook for good
prices is gloomy.
This war ought to teach us OF
the South a lesson. If all the
barns and smoke houses of the
South were full Of home made
provisions we would not have
the hard times which are before
US for the next twelve months.
There is no use to deny the con-
ditions. We had just as we'll face
them.

a thoughtful reference to our
return home from trip to
Europe, and a complimentary
suggestion that we send The
Times a sketch of our trip. We
have been made to feel since
our arrival that it might be
worth while to return to France
and tight the aggressive foe
simply to have once more the
overwhelming salutations and
greetings of friends upon or
return.
As to our trip. We sailed
from Boston June 9th, on the
"Canopic" of the White Star
Line, and arrived at Naples on
June 10Th, after stops and ex-
cursions at the Azores, MADEIRA,
Gibraltar and Algiers. Mrs.
Ida Adams of Birmingham, Ala,
was our chaperon and she had
efficiently planned a trip to the
chief places of interest from the
tourists view point. Two
weeks were spent in Italy visit
ing Naples, Rome, Florence and
Venice. Italy is a beautiful
land with cultured and artistic
people. Our opinion of Italy
and her inhabitants is unfavor-
ably prejudiced by some of the
Italians who come to America.
when in reality they represent
for the most part a class of peo-
pie whom Italy herself does not
boast of. From Italy we went
through Switzerland, having a
sight of the Alps. Those snow
covered peaks and green-clad
mountains will ever be fresh in
our minds. Germany was quite
interesting and her cities were
delightful. At the time Of our
stay in Dresden: Berlin, Munich
and other German towns we
heard nothing Of war. The
Germans are a contented, pros
porous people, deserving to be
commended for their passenger
aero-planes, and their beer-con-
suming capacities. 1t is impos-
sible for US to conceive Of so
splendid a people being made
the enemy Of ali Europe by the
despotic sway of few. We had
an excursion down the Danube
to Vienna. This historic river
did not disappoint US for there
were mountains surmounted by
ancient castles and ruins. The
city of Vienna contains some
magnificent buildings: and
makes for Austria lovely cap
ital. We cannot fail to mention
Holland with it's landscape pic
lures duely dotted with canals,
windmills, and COWS. Among
the peasants in the villages we
found the real Dutch costumes,
but in Amsterdam the people
were disappointlngly civilized
and modernized.
Antwerp and Brussels were
our points of attack in Belgium,
and at the latter city we first
heard of the war when our hotel
refused American Express
checks in payment of our bill.
We were quite surprised for prior

TIE NEXT GOVERNOR.

The recent primary election
has weeded out all of the eleven
candidates for governor except
Richarn I. Manning of Sumter,
and John G. Richards of Ker-
shaw counties, who will run the
race out next Tuesday. The
Times editor is not a particular
admirer of either of these gen.
tlemen politically, considering
their past records. Manning is
running as a pronounced anti
Blease man, which position he
finally came out strongly for
after the campaign was we'll un-
der way, and is now the cham
pion of the News and Courier
and the ultra anti-Blease people:
while Richards announced y
month or two before the cam
paign commenced, that he ex.
pected to vote for Blease for the
Senatorship, and took special
pains to make that announce
mens all over the State at the
county meetings. Neither man
can be regarded as of any great
individual force, and each one
wants to be governor. The mast
record of Mr.. Richards on the
dispensary question and the
liquor question in general will
boromnmbered to have been a
ctalseaoie one, being one while
for the old dispensary and one
while for prohibition, while it
will also be remembered of Mr..
Manning that in his race for
governor eight years ago he
clung to the old dispensary and
said he wanted to reform it, and
then when he saw the dispen
sary was rotten and condemned
by the people and had to go, he
rushed in as a member of the
senate and introduced a resolu-
tion to investigate the dispen.
sary and then refused to serve
on the investigation committee.
Mr.. Richards is at present one
of the Railroad Commissioners
and is practical farmer. He
has never originated any states.
manlihe ideas or reforms that
We know of, and is regarded a
clean and honest man at home.
Mr.. Manning likewise has moth
ing charged against his private
character that we know of, and
is president of a bank and the
owner it is said of several farms,
and just before the campaign
began gained some notoriety as
the newspapers stated from his
home by advocating a scheme
for exempting small land owners
from taxation, which proposition
he evidently saw the unpopular
ity and foolishness of and finally
abandoned it.
Nobody knows how the cleo
tion next Tuesday will go, and
the only safe guess is that either
Manning or Richards will be the
next Governor.

JOHN D. HAS BIRTHDAY-ARMED
GUARDS HIS ONLY GUESTS
Tarrytown, N. Y, July s.-Under
armed guard, a virtual prisoner on
his own magnificent estate, John D.
Rockefeller, the worlds wealthiest
man, passed his 18th birthday today.
Despite all his millions, it is not a
happy birthday. He was away from
what is really home-Cleveland-be-
cause of importuning tax collectors.
Harassed by agitators denouncing
his policy in the Colorado bloodshed,
he dared not venture off his estate.
Elaborate electrical burglar alarms,
armed special guards and deputy
sheriffs, with vicious bloodhounds,
watched over his property.
He was without the comfort of the
presence of his wife and sister, both
of whom are in i'll health. His son,
John D., Jr., was not here to cele-
brate. He was in seclusion in Maine,
also bottled up by l. w. w. agitators.
The wealthiest man in the world
is so much a prisoner that he avoid
ed his usual birthday custom of vel"
coming reporters and giving them
advice.
Eighteen holes at golf, his usual
days play, followed breakfast. And
his guards with big revolvers follow
ed him like caddies.
Luncheon was slated for 1 o'clock,
followed by nap and an auto drive,
with guards around the estate, and
out of range of hostile demonstra-
tons. And after dinner he will re-
tire early, as is his custom.
And this is the wealthiest man in
the world. -.
