PROSPERITY is NOW WITH US a,
welcome 1t; "Buy Bale"-Parker
Mills Running Full Time.
columbia Record. 24th)

INSCOIu, G4ln.D
III this issue of The Record we are
Celiihg You that the Parker Mills,
consisting Of sixteen factories, with
100000 spindles, are now running
iull time and that two of these mills,
one of which is in Columbia, is run
ming day and night.
These mills, you are told, will con-
tinue to run indefinitely, and that all
available help is required to keep
them running. In fact, they tell us
that they can use every cotton mill
operative that they can get hold Of.
They also say that they have more
orders on hand and have more pros
poets for big business to follow what
is now under contract than they have
had for years.
All this they add is what they have
in sight, but in addition to this they
are counting on big business to de-
Velop with LatinAmerican countries.
A month ago the mill people could
only see disaster approaching their
industry. To-day they are setting
the pace in spreading optimism and
prosperity.
A month ago Columbia's business
men were saying times are hard
"llow can we expect anything but
dull times when our cotton mills are
all shut down."
Now, Columbia, with these facts be-
fore you, make up your mind to see
things as they are. Forget about the
hard times due to the closing of the
mills. The next time you hear any
one talking hard times just put him
down as a 'knocker."
With our mills running full time
some day and might've will have
more than $500 people engaged di-
rcctly III the mill work that were ont
or employment up to now-it is but
fair to estimate that between four
and five thousand people will be
given employment when you consider
the railroads, allied interests, etc.
All this means that cotton will be
in demand. Between five and six
thousand bales a month will be con-
sumed by the Parker Mills. These
mills are just leading the way TO
prosperity. Others will follow.
Have you bought vour bale at ten
cents II pound II not, do it now
we cannot expect to enjoy prosperity
If our farmers are lett to scuffle for
themselves. The fullest prosperity
is now within striking distance
nail 1T; welcome it; buy a bale
buy it now!

CATTLE FROM OTHER STATES.
Department Will Let I'm Stock for Ex-
hibft from Free Area.

Clemson College, Sept. 29.-Spe-
cial: For the first time since cattle
tick regulations were put into force
by the Federal Department of Agri-
culture, cattle from tick-free terri
tory will be exhibited at the State
Fair, in Columbia, this fall. This is
in accordance with Order No. 219 of
the United States Bureau Of Animal
Industry, recently received by DR..
w. *. Lewis, Inspector in charge Of
cattle tick eradication in South Caro-
lima, with headquarters at Clemson
College. This order prescribes con-
ditions under which cattle from tick
free territory may be exhibited at
Columbia.
DR.. Lewis says that he has infor-
nation of owners Of fine stock in
North Carolina and Virginia, who
are planning to ship cattle to Column
bia to exhibit at the State Fair. This
increase in the area from which ex-
hibits~may be drawn is expected to
add much to the live stock section of
the fair. The new arrangement is
made possible now because, though
Richland county is still under quar-
antine, Dr. Lewis has established an
interstate shipping station at Colum-
Dla and has cleared up a sufficient
territory around the fair grounds to
insure protection against the cattle
tick for all cattle exhibited.
In complying with Oredr No. 2l9.
separate disinrected chutes will have
to be provided at Columbia for the
exclusive unloading and loading of
stock from free territory, and the
cattle must be hauled from the cars
to the fair grounds in clean, disin-
fected wagons.
All hay, straw and similar mate
rials used for feed and bedding by
the cattle while they are in the quar-
antined area shall be non-infectious
and shall originate outside the quar-
antined area and be shipped in clean
and disinfected cars.
The cattle must be returned to
their homes in disinfected cars and
must be accompanied by a certificate
issued by an inspector of the Bureau
OF Animal Industry, showing that
they have had no opportunity to be-
come infected with the cattle tick.

THE CASE OF GEORGE TrDwELI.
Petition Presented for Pardon-It Is
Numerously Signed.

Greenville, Sept. 24.-If reports
emanating from an authoritative
source are correct, Governor Blease
last night, or to-day, was presented
with a second petition for the pardon
OF Geo. w. Tidwell, the former trav-
cling salesman of Clinton, who is
under sentence of II years for the
death of a Greenville young man.
The petition, says the report, was
presented in person by a Clinton cit
izen, who visited Tidwell at his cell
in the Greenville Jail the other
night. He had the petition in his
possession at that time, and affixed to
the request were seen the signatures
OF several hundred men, besides the
names Of eight or more of the jurors
who decided Tidwell's fate.
1T is known that Governor Blease
was petitioned to pardon Tidwell a
month ago, but nothing was ever di-
vulged as to the nature Of his re-
SrCnsc, If he made any. Countless
rumors have been heard, but investi-
cation has failed to establish a fact.
The petition, it is understood, does
not request commutation Of the
sentence, but beseeches the Governor
to grant an absolute pardon. The
circulating Of petition was begun
by relatives and friends of the pris-
oner shortly after the trial in the
spring. This was presented about a
month ago and contained 1000 or
more names, it is stated.
The defendant has been in iai!
since the morning of the tragedy,
April -, 1914, when he shot and al
most instantly killed II. Emmett
Walker, paymaster at the Carolina
Mills.
Tidwell was rcmanded to his cell
Immediately after his trial and pro-
ceedings were instituted before the
State Supreme Court to have him re-
leased on bond. This application
was refused. A motion is now pend
ing for new trial.

Columbia, Sept. PA commission
was issued to-day by the Secretary of
State to the Greenville & Western

following to be the directors of the
road: Thos. Egleston, A. p. Coles,

Knoxville, Tenn, by completing this
road, which at present extends from
GreenVille to the foot of the noun

OF the new owners is to complete the
road, which would mean big thing

RATE DECISION HELD VITAL
AS FAR REACHING AS ANY EVENT
OF ADMINISTRATIONS.
Forthcoming Action Awaited With
Concern by Business Interests
Of the Entire Nation.

Washington, June 30.-One of the
most vital and ~far-reaching events in
the history Of the Wilson administra.
tlon Will occur when the interstate
commerce commission hands down its
decision either granting or refusing
the 3 per ent horizontal increase of
freight rates which the railroads of
the nation have asked. 1t is expected
that this decision will come now in a
comparatively short time, and it is
~anxiously awaited by practically every
business man in the United States.
While the shippers have made a
vigorous fight against the requested
increase before the commission, it is
generally believed that the rank and
file of business men favor the rail
Dads contention, at least in part. No.
body thinks the railroads will receive
all they ask; most observers declare
the decision will be q compromise,
with the railroads granted most of the
important points of their contention,
but with a sharp lecture on their finan-
cial methods of the past and admonish-
ment that they must behave better in
the future.
The decision has been delayed over
a long period Of time, and it is stated
upon authority that not even now have
members OF the interstate commerce
commission taken a final ballot upon
their finding. They know, in a general
way, how they stand, and the views of
each member are definitely known.
The decision will, therefore, be a com.
posite or mosaic Of at least five differ
ent views, and probably it will be
hailed with dissatisfaction by both the
shippers and the railroads. One thing
is certain-it will not be any more
than a meagre and a partial victory
for the great carriers of the country.
The views of Louis ID. Brandeis, gen.
eral counsel for the shippers and one
OF the most vigorous opponents of the
granting of the freight increase. have
been adopted in part by the interstate
commission and about two months ago
the latter body upon its own motion
proposed a series of economies to the
carriers looking to the conservation of
their revenue Since that time the
commission has made careful inquiry
to see Just how far the railroads have
accepted its suggestions. If they have
been taken in good faith, the railroads
stand a much better chance for liberal
treatment from the supreme body than
otherwise.
Reports of railroad financial opera
tons for April show that for the ten
months of the current fiscal year the
net revenue, after taxes were provided
for. amounted only to S2,642 per mile
OF road. as compared with the s3.1l3
for the corresponding ten months of
the preceding year.

BIC BUSINESS IS !
AGAIN On GRILL
SPONDENCE CREATES SEN
SATiON IN U. S. OFFICIAL
CIRCLES.
SENATE MAY PROBE AFFAIR
Charge Made That Rival Oil interests
Are Backing Huerta and Carranza
and Thwartine All Media
ton Attempts.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-"Big bust
ness" is to be placed once more on
the grill by the United States senate
for the purpose of establishing eX-
actly the part it has played in Initial
ing and supporting revolutions in Mex;
leo.
Decision Follows Sensation.
This determination has come as the
result of the publication of the sensa-
tional correspondence between New
York financiers and their Washington
agents and General CarranZa and 9th
err constituencies. 1t is also al
legged that two months ago financial
interests in Wall street offered Gen.
eral Huerta $4,000, 900 to resign.
Under the circumstances senate
leaders feel there is but one thing to
do. That is to set at work anew the
subcommittee of the senate foreign
relations committee of which Senator
William Alden Smith is chairman, and
to give it full powers to investigate to
the very bottom of II of the greatest
international scandals of the age.
Great Interest Aroused.
Nothing that has occurred recently
has aroused such intense interest as
the publication of the private CORE
spendence between the Washington
junta of the constitutionalists, the
moving figure in which is Sherburne
G.. Hopkins, a Washington attorney;
Henry Clay Pierce, the oil man; Chas.
r. Flint, who has large financial rela-
tions with South and Central America;
General CarranZa, the supreme chief"
of the revolution, and other constitu-
tionalists.
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an have refused to discuss the revela-
tons, which clearly show that the
Standard Oil interests are backing
Huerta and are in control of the stu
alton so far as the Mexican railroads
and oil interests are concerned, while,
on the other hand, the Flint in
terests are supporting CarranZa.
Big Business Responsible.
In the opinion of everyone here, I'M
til the differences between these great
interests are OmpOSe the war IN Mex
leo will continue. Peace is impossible
until big business" has been eliminat-
ed from the situation.
Mediation at Niagara Falls was
doomed to failure, so far as the in
ternal situation of Mexico is con-
cerned. The Waters-Pierce interests
could not afford to permit Carranza to
participate in the negotiations and to
enter in agreement with Huerta as the
effect of such an agreement would be
to retain the Cowdray or Standard Oil
interests in control of the railroads.
The expose has acted as a bomb
shell in the headquarters of the con-
stitutionalists here. The whole mat
ter is expected to be aired in the Unit.
ed States senate.
