The Wade Cotton Pool.-We have
never taken much stock in the Wade
cotton pool, for the reason that we did
not look upon it as a movement actu-
ated by philanthropy, as was claimed
for it. and we had doubt as to there
being as much public spirit behind it
as was asserted.
So we are not at all surprised when
j. l.. McLaurin, state warehouse COM
missioner, asserts that some of the
money that was raised by the plan has
been loaned to the cotton mills instead
of to the farmers to enable them to
hold their cotton.
What else did Mr.. McLaurin expect
Did he not expect that the holders of
the money would loan it to the mills
If they found it advantageous to do
so?
AS a matter Of fact, the whole busi-
ness was scheme Of men with money
by taking advantage of the present
situation. And those newspapers
which have been so freely giving their
space to advertise it have been giving
their space away. That's all.-Ander-
son Daily Mail.

COWBOYS OF SPAIN
Splendid Horsemen, but They Use

Spurs Without Mercy.
The perfection Of Spanish horse
manship Is to be seen among the va
! queros, ganaderos and garrochistas, by
which various names the mounted
herdsmen Of the Andalusian plains are
known-in brief, what we should call
a cowboy. Every farm seems to main
tain a large number Of these. for each
herd, flock or drove has its own herds
man, goatherd or swineherd, as the
case may be. The vaqueros are fine
looking lot Of men. Tall, thin, light
and loosely made, they look ideal
horsemen, as. in point Of fact, they are,
though their mounts are poor.
The vaquero rides very high on a
huge saddle, with a long stirrup and
straight leg, using a single rein and
very heavy curb, but he has such
beautiful hands that, although usin%
this barbarous Bit he never cuts his
horses mouth about II is different
with the animals sides, however, for
he uses his spurs without mercy, and
the white horses Of which there are
large number-all have ominous red
stains behind their girths.
All the herdsmen who look after cat
tie carrying long lance, called gar.
rocha, Of thick and heavy wood, which.
except when standing still, they al
ways carry "in rest and not at the
carry" presumably on account Of its
great length and possibly its weight.
With this weapon In the use Of which
he acquires amazing dexterity, the
garrochista Is able to control the most
unruly brutes in the herd, not except

The South Carolina railroad COM
mission is this week holding a hear
ing in the matter Of having railways
reduce the rates on grain from inter-
ior points to the port Of Charleston.
The matter has been agitated by sew
eral chambers Of commerce in the
state and other commercial organiza-
tions with a view towards encourag-
ing the production Of grain in the
state. The various railroads in the
state have announced their willing
ness to cooperate in every way to
secure reduction which would place
South Carolina grain producers on a
parity with the western farmers, but
that the new rate should not be put
into effect until the crop in this sec
ton has been sufficiently increased.

What She'll Fire is Like.-I have
read many attempts to describe shell
fire in a battle, but not one to equal
the easy description Of this young Of

stylist. Listen:
You hear a boom miles away, hard
ly audible in the distance. Then faint
sigh. gradually rising to a scream as
the shell whizzes toward you. Then a
flash, an immense crash and the air Is
filled with thousands Of bullets and
jagged Jumps Of iron, each making a
different sort Of shrieking noise. Then

Never before, perhaps, in the history
of mankind has the prohibition OF in
to,,icating liquor been so complete and
effective as it has been in Russia since
the outbreak Of war, and never BEFORE
certainly has the world had such an
opportunity to see what total aostl-
nence may bring about. Now In Rus

portunity to see what nationwide pro-
hibition may accomplish, and what the
socioloeical results Of total abstinence
may be.

for job, made a malicious and willful
attempt to blacklist him and keep
him out of employment.

MRS. CHARLES 3. TURNER DEAD.
Prominent Iowa Falls Woman Passes
Awaya at Rochester Hospital.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls. Jan. 1S.-The body OF
Mrs. Charles b. Turner reached here
Sunday morning and interment Will
be made In Union cemetery. The news
of this lady's death was received here
with the deepest regret. but the news
Of her passing on was not unexpected
as she had been growing worse since
going to Rochester. After an illness OF
about nine weeks, 1t was decided to
take her to the Minnesota hospital for
an examination and an operation II
deemed best. After several consulta-
lions and examination by several OF
the best physicians at the Mayo hospi-
tai, 1t was not thought best to operate
and she was removed to a hotel where
she grew rapidly worse.
Mrs. Turner was a longtime resi-
dent of this county and lived at
Steamboat Rock before coming to this
city number of years ago. She was
prominent in social and musical circles
in this city and was held in the high
est steem by all who knew her. When
the Hotel Woods was rebuilt here, Mr..
Turner took over the management Of
the hotel and these duties brought new
responsibilities for Mrs. Turner With
her husband she labored faithfully to
maintain high standard at this
hosiery, and they made for it a place
in the front rank of Iowa hotels.
In church and social circles she took
an active interest and as a member
of the Etude and other clubs was
prominent in club work. For many
years she has been an expert decorator
of china and found much pleasure in
this artistic diversion. She was lady
in middle life and had looked forward
to many years of active work and SER
vice, so her death is particularly sad.
She is survived by her husband who
has the deepest sympathy of the COM
munity in his loss. His personal loss
is shared by the public for Mrs. Tur-
ner's death has berefit the city and
county of an estimable woman whose
life and works has endeared her to
TALL who knew her.
