The Mob i'm Ohio.

"Where will the lynch-spirit lead
next? asks the New York Evening
Post, commenting upon the latest
manifestation of that evil. Nobody
knows, but at least it seems clear
that it is leading northward. The out
fbreak Of the lynch spirit to which the
Post refers took place at Lima, Ohio,
and the whole country knows the de-
tails by now. They are not surpassed
in horror or in sinister significance
by any affair of the sort south OF
Mason and Dixon's line. The sheriff
having previously removed his pris-
oner to a place Of safety, the mob
turned on the sherig, took him to the
turned on the sheriff, took him to the
public square, cut him In many places,
tore off his clothes, kicked him, beat
him. broke two of his ribs, and placed
q rops around his neck, threatening
TO hang him if he did not reveal the
negro's whereabouts. Incidentally the
sheriff's little daughter died of shock
sustained when the mob invaded the
sherif's home at the jail.

Thomas Edison Is Supporting MIR.
Wilson.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 3.-Thomas A.
Edison, the electrical wizard, Repub-
lican and supporter Of Theodore
Roosevelt for the presidential nomina-
ton today announced that he would
work and vote for Woodrow Wilson.
He said:
"Not since 1860 has any campaign
made such a direct call on Simon
Pure Americanism. The times are too
serious to talk or think in terms OF
Republicanism or Democracy. Real
Americans must drop parties and get
down to big fundamental principles.
More than any other president In
my memory, Woodrow Wilson, has
,een faced by a succession of tremen-
dous problems, any Of which decided
the wrong way would have had dis
astrous consequences. Wilson's decis-
ions so far have not got us into any
serious, trouble, nor are they likely to
"He has given us peace with honor.
This talk about the United States
being despised is nonsense. Neutral
ity is Almighty trying policy but back
of it are international law, the rights
of humanity and the future Of ciVili-
eaton.
Roosevelt was my choice. BE had
had experience and Is one OF the best
Americans, but the machine controlled
Republican party would not have him.
Therefore I am for Woodrow Will
SON."

COMING CROP OF COTTON
UNDER TWELVE MILLION
Further Deterioration in G1w1ng
Plant Has Brought Estimated
Condition Down to 61.2 and
Predicted Yield to H..
100000 Bales.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Further de-
terioration of the growing cotton crop
during August has reduced the esti-
mated final production by 1,116,000
| bales to a tota df 100000 bales.
That forecast of production was made
today by the department Of agricu-
ture, basing its calculations on the
condition Of the crop on August rs.
The condition Of the crop on August
rs was 61.2 per cent. Of a normal COM
pared with 1873 last month, 69.2 last
year and 1875 the average for the last
ten years on August 25.
The crop Of 11,S0O,OOO bales COM
pares with 12,916,O0O bales forecast
from July rs condition reports and
14,266,000 bales forecast from con-
ditions existing June 25. Last years
production was 11,191 ,S20 bales, two
years ago 16,134,93O, three years ago
14,156, 1856, and four years ago 13,703,-
421. During July heavy storms caused
damage to the crop causing loss in
production calculated at 1,350,0G0
bales.
In statement summarizing condi-
tions the department said: August
was unfavorable for cotton in almost
all sections Of the cotton belt. In the
western section, the crop deteriorated
severely in Oklahoma and Texas be-
cause Of extreme drought over large
areas which caused the plart to stop
fruiting and shed. Weevils damaged
the crop considerably in eastern and
southern Texas, southern Arkansas,
western Florida and southwestern
sippi, Alabama and portions Of Louis
Georgia and disastrously in Missis-
lana.
Much of the crop in southern Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, because Of rain
and weevil damage, will require from
10 to 20 acres of land to produce a
bale Of cotton. In the Carolinas and
eorgia hot sunshine following the
July rain on the sappy plant caused
much shedding.
Lack Of fertilizer which was leach
led from the soil by july rains, or with
drawn by grass ana weeds, was sttowd
by the appearance of the plant, which
seems to have reached maturity with
a small stalk and a lack of fruit.
There are mank grassy fields in the
eastern states. Caterpillars are re-
ported in Texas, Louisiana, Florida
and Georgia, but have done no mate
rial damage as yet.
Picking is general over the south
ern half of the belt, and even in Okla
homa, where there is much premature
opening. Virginia, Tennessee, north
west Mississippi eastern Arkansas
and Missouri have good to splendid
crops Of cotton"

GERMAN DYES RE.
PORTED GOING BEGGING
Manufacturers Refuse to Pay Amounts
Asked by Importers Of the
Deutsctdand's Goods.

New York, Aug. 3O.-The extraordi-
nary prices asked for the dyestuffs
brought to this country by the Deutsch
land and recently distributed among
the leading importers in this city are
having the effect Of Tending off pros
Dective buyers who refuse to pay the
prices demanded. This is particularly
true as regards alizarine wood and cot
ton dyes, the users Of which seem con-
tent to struggle along with the dye
stuffs furnished to them by American
manufacturers rather than pay from
ten to twelve times the normal prices.
In the issue of the Oil, Paint and
Drug Reporter. which is to appear to-
day, it is said the cargo Of dyestuffs
on board the Deutschland was about
125 tons net, and in stating that Amer
lean textile manufacturers refuse to
buy the dyestuffs, the journal advances
two reasons for this action. The first
Is that the prices asked are from ten to
twelve times greater than those which
existed before the war, and the second
that many American manufacturers
have so adjusted their lines of goods
that, with the aid Of American dye
makers, they are getting along nearly
as well as in normal times.
Dyes quoted before the war at from
35 to As cents a pound, any of which
are embraced in the Dutschland's car
60, are in the market at from 81 to
SO a pound.

STRIKE CLOUDS DISAPPEAR
FROM THE NATIONS HORIZON
Senator B0rah Critlzes the New Law
and Predicts That Labor VIII
Some Day Regard 1t as Ire
mendOus Error.


Washington, Sept. 2.-The strike
order was rescinded at S:43 tonight.
Garretson explained that owing to
! the difficulty of reaching many OFF,
cials of the brotherhoods on Sunday
it had been decided to send out the
resembling order tonight.
Washington. Sept. 2.-The strike
cloud which has menaceed the COM
merce Of the nation for three weeks
passed swiftly beyond the possibility
tonight, following the passage by the
senate of the Adamson eight-hour
law.
The order calling the train opera
,tives out on Monday, September 4, was
.rescinded in kilograms flashed to all
parts Of the country by the brother
hood chiefs. The decision to end the
controversy without waiting for the
signature of President Wilson to the
bill was reached at q conference be-
tween A. B. Garretson, w. s. Stone,
W. s. Carter and W. G. Lee.
The union leaders are satisfied with
the victory obtained The railroad
executives are disgruntled and charge
they have not had fair play. Their
position Is thus stated by Senator w.
E. Borah, Of Idaho:
"Vicious From Every Standpoint"
"The eight-hour bill is vicious from
every conceivable standpoint.
at does not establish an eigffthour
day at all, but 1t does undertake to
increase wages for stated length of
time. That is, it undertakes to give
ten hours pay for eight hours work a
matter most doubtful in constitution
al law and even more doubtful in
morals.
"This increase of wages of course,
ultimately will be passed on to the
people who pay the freight. We are,
therefore, undertaking by law, with
out any hearing upon the part Of
those who ultimately must pay 1t, to
fix a large increase Of burden and, If
1t should remain permanent, a tre-
mendous increase.
To Increase Wages.
"In addition to that, while 1t has
been said that society sanctions an
eight hour day, this bill does not pur-
port to establish an eight-hour day,
but to increase wages, and 1t does not
purport to increase the wages Of more
than 20 per cent Of the employees OF
the railroads. About 80 per cent of
these employees some Of whom re-
ceive very low wages and perform
arduous services, are not benefited by
this bill. The bill purports to cover
only those who are actually operat-
ing the trains. The other $50 per cent
are left out entirely.
Labor will some time regard as a
tremendous error this whole propo-
sition."
Senator LaFollette was the only Re-
publican voting for the measure. The
Democrats who voted against 1t were
Clarke of Arkansas and Hardwick OF
Georgia.
The remainder of the legislative
program has been abandoned by this
session of congress at least.

MANNING WILL WIN DECLARES
TILLMAN

Woodrow Wilson will be reelected
president of the United States next
November and Richard I. Manning
Will be renominated governor hext
Tuesday," said Senator B. R. Tilman
yesterday afternoon as he was leaving
for his home at Trenton, after spend
| ing the day in Columbia.
The senator says he is enjoying
fine health and he appears to be IN
the best Of spirits. He left Washing,
ton about two weeks ago and since
that time has been resting on his farm
at Trenton. He says that he does moi
( expect to return to the national capi,
tai until next December.
While speaking of the South Caro-
lima race for the govemorship, he
was extremely emphatic and the old
time battle fire cleaned in his eye. He
says that Blease will probably get a
small PERCENTAGE of the Cooper vote,
the remainder going to Governor
Manning.
There is not bit of use to get
stampeded,' said Senator Tillman. IF
the people do as l expect and think
they will Blease will never be elect
ed" He felt sure the people when
once aroused would go to the ballot
box, and If they did he was satisfied
MIR. Manning would be nominated.
He claims that there are fully 25,-
600 enrolled voters that did not go to
the polls last Tuesday but that II
they have the good Of the state at
heart, they will vote against Blease in
The next primary. And he is firmly of
the opinion that they will.
"The good Lord has nothing against
South Carolina" said the senator,
"and he will not let man like Blease
again be governor of South Carolina.
But the lord helps those who help
themselves, and it is up to the voters
to get out and give an emphatic VIC
tory to Governor Manning and like
emphatic defeat to the personal ambi-
tions Of Cole L. Blease."
While in the city yesterday Sena-
tor Tillman called at the executive
office to see Governor Manning, but
the Governor was out and did not get
to see the senator.
