10 Il Anything To Your

otis nothing to me-" the beauty said,
With a careless toss Of her pretty
head;
"The man Is weak II he can't refrain
From the cup you say Is fraught with
pain"
It was something when, in after years,
Her eyes were drenched with burning
tears,
And she watched in lonely grief and
dread,
And started to hear a staggering tread.
"Tis nothing to me-" the mother said:
81 have no fear that my boy will
tread
In the downward path Of sin and
shame,
And crush my heart and darken his
name"
It was something to her when her
only son
From the path Of right was early won,
And malady cast in the flowing bowl
A ruined body, a sin-wrecked soul.
"Tis nothing to me-" the merchant
said,
AS over his ledger he bent his head,
II am busy today with tare and tret.
have no time for fume and fret"
1t was something to him when over
the wire
A message came from a funeral pyre;
A drunken conductor had wrecked a
train,
And his wife and child were among
the slain.
'"Tis nothing to me-" the voter said;
1.-The party's loss Is my only dread.
Then he gave his vote to the liquor
trade,
Though hearts were crushed and
drunkards made.
1t was something to him in after life;
His daughter became drunkard's g
wife,
And her hungry children cried for
bread,
And trembled to hear their fathers
tread.
It Is something for US to idly sleep.
While cohorts Of death their vigils
keep,
To gather the young and thoughtless
in,
And grind in our midst grist Of sin.

that the present warehouse system is

that the present warehouse system Is
a failure. Let US see.
1st. The legislature appropriated
$4,000. McLaurin has spent only
$4,000, and the storage is sufficient to
meet that expense; so that 1t will not
cost the state a cent.
End. He opened up the question of
the discount Of agricultural notes
through the Federal Reserve system,
and the analysis Of the new currency
law, by McLaurin. printed in Colum-
bia State Of December 8. and repub-
lished by other papers In South Caro-
lima. is the clearest and strongest pa
per I have ever seen on the subject.
3rd. The only six-months paper
discounted in South Carolina are notes
secured by state warehouse receipts.
4th. The Record whines that this
Is not a part Of McLaurin's duty; that
he should confine his efforts to ware
housing cotton" Yes; that Is the
milk In the cocoanut." 1t does not
suit Mr.. Ed Robertson-the owner OF
the Record, the Standard warehouse,
and the Columbia canal, and largely
interested in the big cotton mills, that
anything should be done except
through them-but more anon.
5th. In the matter of insurance,
McLaurin has secured material re-
duction on cotton in state warehouses.
Senator Banks Of Calhoun county, In
a letter to the Columbia State, says
that he was paying $3.40 per hundred
on his cotton, and that when the
warehouse was taken over by the
state, the insurance was reduced to
$1.75 per hundred. Perhaps some OF
the combination who furnish bread
and butter to the Records editor, are
I'M the insurance business and object
to cheaper insurance.
9Th. Senator Banks also publishes
a statement showing that he is getting
storage at q cost under ten cents.
against thirty-five cents charged by
Mr.. Ed Robertson's Standard Ware
hbuses scattered all over this state.
No wonder McLaurin is villified, and
that the attempt Is made to belittle
him, when he Is fighting for low In
terest rates, cheap storage and sales
Of cotton direct from the farm to the
spinner at home and abroad.
/ have heard Of shipment OF cot
ton from New Orleans that netted IL
cents per pound over and above all
charges, when the price In New Or
leans was cents; and another from
Savannah that netted IA cents. II these
parties can sell abroad, why should
not the farmers or THIS state 40 tne
same? Thirty dollars per bale profit!
Never since time have jobbers, spec
ulators and others, who never produce
cotton, made such a killing as they
are now making out Of the planters
df cotton. They will rob them out of
four hundred million dollars OF this
crop.
So far as the editor Of the Colum-
bia Record Is concerned, he Is worthy
of his hire, with nothing remarkable
except verbosity, as cheap In wit as
he Is poor in person, with no views
save such as tend to the interests OF
his master:
"Swelled by contact Of such a fulsome
toad,
He lugs about the editorial load.
Which he doth use, in the old sneak
ing way,
Drinking ali night and doing all the
day"

The lad who couldn't tell you th'

Before you get her she can say
things with her eyes that make you

her she can say things with her mouth

stood stock still, presenting an anoma-
lous figure in his rough clothes as his
eyes grew almost idolatrous Then
he brought the landscape over to its
creator, and, though no word was
spoken. there flashed between the eyes
of the artist, whose signature gave to
a canvas the value Of a precious stone,
and the jeans-clad boy whose destiny
was that of the vendetta, a subtle,
wordless message. 1t was the coun-
tersign of brothers-in-blood who rec
ognize in each other the bond of a
mutual passion.
The boy and the girl, under Lescotts
direction, packed the outfit and stored
the canvas in the protecting top of the
box. Then, while Sally turned and
strobe down creek in search of Les
colts lost mount, the two men rode
upstream in silence. Finally Samson
spoke slowly and diffidently.

BECKER IS GIVEN ONE

New York, July 24.-An order di-
recting the state to show cause why
the motion for new trial should
not be granted Charles Becker, SEN
tenced to die in the electric chair
next Wednesday, was signed by Su-
preme Court Justice Philbin yester-
day. The order is returnable Mon
day, July 26, in the supreme court
before Justice Ford. District Attor-
ney Perkins will appear then to op-
pose the motion.
The last effort to save Becker was
made by his chief counsel, w. Bourke
Cochran, who placed before Philbin
several affidavits and other newly
discovered evidence.
Stating that by his silence In keep
ing his promise to shield the late
Timothy D. Sullivan, one time re-
preventative in congress, Becker has
"placed his own foot on the scaffold,
Cochran declared Becker was now
willing to face cross examination
without any limitations or imposing
any conditions.
