How easy it is to mix up the aver
age business man was demonstrates
the other day when the son of a local
merchant leaned against his fathers
knee and innocently asked:
Daddy, is today tomorrow
mo, my son, of course today isn't
tomorrow" answered the father, ac-
cording to the Louisville Times.
"But you said it was, Continued the
son.
when did ever say today was to-
morrow"
Yesterday" answered the son.
well, it was; today was tomorrow
yesterday, but today is today, just as
yesterday was today yesterday, but /,
yesterday today and tomorrow will be
today tomorrow, which makes TODAY
yesterday and tomorrow all at once.
Now run along and play" and the
father collapsed into his chair with a
sigh of relief.

LEVER SAYS HIS ACT
HAS HELPED COTTON
Tells Congressman He Feels Pardon
able Pride in Cotton Futures Act

Washington, January 31.-Last
spring Congress passed an Act
for regulating the cotton exchanges
of the country. The agriculture ap-
preparation bill, which passed the
House last week, carried an appro-
priation for the enforcement of this
Act. When this item in the bill was
reached Congressman Lever by way
of explanation of the operation of
the Act, made some pertinent COM
ments on the cotton marketing stu
alton. Congressman Levers remarks
were to the effect that the operation
of the Cotton Futures Act had re-
suited in increased valuation of the
spot cotton in the hands of the far
mer. Mr.. Lever spoke in part as fol-
lows:
ut will be remembered that in my
report accompanying the cotton fu-
lures bill, which later became law,
predicted that as a result of this
legislation the value of the New York
contract would be enhanced from 81
to $3.50 per bale, and that this en-
hancement of the value of the quota
ton basis, rejecting itself in the spot
markets of the South, would mean
from $15,000,000 to $35, 100000 each
year additional to the cotton pro-
ducers.
Immediately succeeding the begin
ming of the war in Europe the ex-
changes closed, and remained closed
until the 10Th day of November. On
that day they reopened. The Cotton
Futures Act does not become effect
i've in the whole until the 18th of Feb
ruary of this year, but in anticipation
of its becoming operative the ex-
changes since their opening have been
dealing in two kinds of contracts
namely, the old contract under which
they operated, and the new contract,
drawn to conform substantially with
the provisions of the contract provid-
ed for the Cotton Futures Act. / feel
pardonable pride in finding that my
prophecy as to the effect of this Act
in enhancing the value of cotton in
the hands of the farmer is borne out
by the difference in the value of the
two contracts, showing a much high
er value for the new contract over the
old, as will be seen by the following
comparison furnished me by the de-
partment of agriculture.
Then followed a table of figures
showing a comparison referred to by
Congressman Lever. He read state
ments from cotton merchants and
manufacturers which sustained the
position which he took in pressing the
bill to passage in the House. namely,
that the exchanges would reflect more
accurately under the provisions of the
bill to real commercial value of cot
ton, added:
"It is very gratifying to me, be-
cause / have spent ten years in the
study of this problem, to feel tha,

CARS LOADED WITH COT
TON PASS THROUGH CLIO
everywher,

Clio, Feb. 1.-The first through
train from Hamlet, N. c., to Charles
ton by way of the Carolina Atlantic
& Western, passed here at 8 o'clock
Saturday morning, this first being a
cotton train for the most part and
was pulled by two of the new en-
gines of the line. At McColl the train
picked up IL cars of cotton from c..
E. Exum, and here they got eight
cars from Charles Manning, both
buyers representing w. Gordon Nc
Cabe, Charleston. When the train
left here it had string of 40 cars.
Much of the cotton stored in the
warehouses here had been sold on
the recent rises in the market and
the outlook for brighter prospects are
manifest for in the near future.

JESUS CARRANZA
AND SON KILLED
Relatives of Former First Chief Put
to Death by Grasping Turn Coat

Laredo, Texas, Feb. 1.-Gen. Jesus
Carranza, his son, Abelardo, and
1gnaclo Peraldi, member of his staff,
were executed by Gen. Santibanez,
former constitutionlist general, who
went over to Gen. Zapata, according
to telegram received by the widow
at Vera Cruz.
Gen. Venustiano Carranza, in his
message to Mrs. Carranza, who is
refugee here, stated that troops
would be sent to recover the bodies.
Gen. Jesus Carranza and his staff
were taken prisoners by troops un-
der command of Santibanez recently
near San Geronimo on the isthmus
of Tehauntepec and most of his stah
| according to reports, were executed
Immediately. Jesus Carranza, his son,
Abelardo, and Peraldi, a relative,
were held prisoners at that time by
Santibanez, who had joined forces
with Zapata.
The father, mother, wife and other
members of Gen. Santibanez's family
were recently reported captured in
the State of Jalapa and sent to Vera
Cruz where constitutionlists saiu
they would hold them pending dispo-
sition of Jesus Carranza.
1t is stated that Jesus Carranza was
executed because of the refusal of his
brother, Gen. Carranza, to restore
Santibanez to his command as general
in the Carranza army. At the time
of his capture such demand with
threat that he would be executed
unless it was complied with was con-
veyed to Gen. Carranza. The latter
replied that his brother was willing to
die for the cause if necessary and
that he would accept this alternative
rather than condone the act of Santi-
banez.
The order went forth from Vera
Cruz Immediately, however, for
troops to rush to Tehuantepec to res
cue the captured general and his
staff. Apparently they arrived too
late.
Santibanez, formerly a general in
the federal army, later joined the
Carranza forces, finally leaving them
and attaching himself to Zapata's
command

THE DEMOCRATS AND WHISKEY
Secretary Bryan and The CommOner.

The Democrats of the nation have
an issue to face and they as well pre-
pare for it. The liquor interests are
at bay; they are on the defensive.
They realize that they have but few
more years in which to fatten upon
the woes of their victims, but they
are fighting desperately and are will
ing to hold any party between them
and the fire. The Democratic party
can not afford to shield the brewery,
the distillery, and the saloon from the
rising wrath of determined people.
Democracy is the nations hope on
political and economic questions-let
it not, by taking sides with the liquor
interests, repel those who put moral
issues first. The young men of the
country are Democratic by nature,
but they will not submit their claims
to political preferment to those who
conspire against the home and every
thing good-neither will they find pot
house politicians congenial party as
sociates. The president has set a
high standard in intelligence anu
morals, and the party cannot afford
to lower the colorS to gain a tempo
rary advantage. Those whose sup
port depends upon subservience to the
liquor interests are a disgrace to the
party while they are with it, and then
leave it if it refuses to obey them
They are milestone about the party's
neck. The Democratic party is the
party of the future-it has a chance
to enter the Promised Land-why
allow the liquor interests to lead il
away into the Wilderness? Get
ready for the fight.

SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST TAYLOR
draniteville Merchant is Taken to
Augusta-Death of Mccullough
Shot on Sidewalk by Un-
known Man Who Alighted
From Hack.

Aiken, Feb. 1.-Charged with the
killing of William Mccullough in
Augusta Sunday right, j. J. Taylor,
young merchant of Graniteyille in
this county, was arrested today and
carried to Augusta. The killing of
Mccullough presented something of
man, an operative of an Augusta cot
ton mill, had just left three friends
last night to go to his home nearby
when a hack drove up and those
standing at the corner saw a man
dressed in gray clothes alight down
the street. A scuffle ensued, follow
ed by two pistol shots. The man in
gray was seen to jump quickly into
the hack and was driven hurredly
away.
Mccullough was found dead on the
sidewalk.
Augusta police today located
George McAlpin, who said he was
the driver of the hack. The arrest
of Taylor followed.
The negro declared that he had
said nothing because he had been
threatened with death if he told, but
he declared that he knew Taylor we'll
and that it was Taylor who killed
Mccullough. According to the negro
Taylor was driven to a point near the
union station in Augusta, where ne
boarded midnight train to Charles
ton which passes in a mile of Gran
iteville.
Taylor declined to make a state
ment when arrested. 1t is believed
that in the darkness Mccullough was
mistaken for another person, as there
is nothing to indicate that he and
Taylor were acquainted while the ne
gro hackman declares that he has
often driven Taylor to the home of
a young woman who lives within a
few doors of where the killing took
place Sunday night.

And whether he talked of the kingdom
Of Prussia or the banat of Temes-Var,
