Columbia. Aug. 11-Financial con-
ditions have practically eliminated the
independent tobacco, buyer from the
South Carolina tobacco markets and
are forcing the farmers to sell their
tobacco at prices below the actual
cost OF production. according to a tele
gram received yesterday by Governor
Cooper from representatives, Of the
Florence county tobacco growers. The
Independent buyers, unable to borrow
she money necessary To finance their
trades, Suying therefore has been left
to only the representatives Of the va
rious tobacco companies. according to
the telegram. Governor Cooper replied
to the communication yesterday, Of
fering what assistance he could. The
telegram follows:
ION account OF the money condition.
the independent can not get money to
do business and the big companies are
taking our tobacco for less than cost
OF production. We have been instruct
ted by the Independent toba'c zoo peo-
pie that they would buy tobacco II the
local banks would furnish the money.
Please give this matter your prompt
attention"

A Statement From
Senator E. D.. Smith

Due to the circulation of a cor
tam pamphlet written by one IL.
l.. Scalfe, which pamphlet has been
sent DfoaucaSt over the state or
.South Carolina, | feel that If Is
perhaps que to my friends who
might not understand TINS pam
phlet to issue the following state
ment.
In this pamphlet | ara attacked
principally for my absences on
certain roll calls and votes i'm the
senate. In recounting my failure
TO be recorded and voting a GER
tain number of times it Is not
stated that / was paired on prac-
ucally every vote and the impress
sion is attempted to- be made that
my vote was thereby lost. My vote
was not, lost. BY this system Of
pairing senator's vote is protect
ed whenever his committee or de-
partmental work or illness prevent
his being presestn. By pairing is
meant senator of one political
party agreeing with "A senator of
the opposite party that in case
either is absent for any reason
the other refrains from voting.
Thus the vote of either one on a
roll call is protected. Any one at
all familiar with legislature pro-
ceedings knows that most of the
work is done off the floor of the
senate. In committee rooms and
elsewhere. Henme, has grown rup
the almost universal practice
among the senators to pair. be-
cause the very nature Of the work
demands this practice.
My record as to roll call is COM
pared to that of a particular sena-
tor. This is also misleading. If
ga comparison having any value
was to have been made the gen.
eral average of the entire body
should nave been taken and this
would not have been conclusive
unless there had been taken into
consideration committee assign
ments,ments, their Importance and
the work done in them and the
legislation resulting therefrom and
also the work done in the depart
ments for ones constituents and
for the interests of legislation.
A senator, of course, keeps in
touch with the >prOcee dings of the
senate and knows when it is nee
,essary to be present,

WINNERS AND LOSERS.

Men versed In the ways of finance
have been puzzled to account for the
profits made by Charles Ponzi, the
Boston Wizard" But one thing
they have all been cure of. Some
body was losing that money.
1t was a safe supposition from the
first. And 1t Is a safe supposition in
every case where somebody comes
forward with a spectacular get-rich-
quick proposal. Attention at first
In directed only at the winners-the
promoters and those whom they
graciously permit to share their big
profits. But eventually the other
side of the story Is revealed, and 1t Is
found that for every dollar easily
gained by somebody there was a
dollar. or more than a dollar. lost by
somebody else. 1t will doubtless be
found so In this instance. even
though the wizard may be found
not toNhave broken the letter of any
human law. And the essential
OF the transaction will not
be In the least affected IL II is found
that the profits going to few
thodsand spectators in comparative
" large sums have come in sman
sums out Of the pockets OF whole
nations. n

Before sending the telegram assur-

allowed to vote-the suffrage leaders
went into the political aspect of the
situation. They held a conference
with Governor Cooper and also with
Mr. Evans. at Spartanburg, with a
view TO determining if the enfran-
chisement of the women Of the state
would effect the solidarity of the
Democratic vote. 1t was the opinion
or the governor. Of Mr.. Evans, also
OF other political leaders that giving
the women the vote in South Capolina
would not alter the Democratic land

The kilograms were then sent to

JAZZ AND BRASS

The National Association of Mas
ters Of Dancing Is frowning on jazz
music. declaring that It has brought
dancing into disrepute. That state
ment may be greeted with some In
creduIity, In view Of the large num-
bers Of reputable people who dance
to jazz n.usac right along. But the
dancing nsasters say they know what
they are taking about. and agree with
the moralists Of the pulpit that the
whole business II depiorable. at
y This type OF music, they explain.
instead Of arousing the fine. ennob-
ling emotions that isood music is al
ways supposed to grouse. In dancers
as In mere listeners, ''excites all sorts
Of pagan impulses and instead Of
beauty and rhythmic grace. 1t fos-
ters abandon-" They want. there
fore. to banish such. music from ball
rooms and dining rooms to get rid OF
'rcugh-house tactics on the dance
floor.r sI't (lf 81
One of the means by which they
propose to accomplish this reform
will be Of interest to large numbers
Of people who care nothing about
dancing. They would forbid the use
Of brass Instruments for dance music
and permit only stringed instru-
ments.
There caanot be much jazz. II
seems. without brass. II the ordinary
jazz effects were sought with an. ordi-
nary string orchestra. the jazz ar
lists would probably fail Of their pur-
pose. and the dancers. II this theory
In correct, would find themselves
dancing in q more refined fashion in
spite Of themselves But perhaps a
still greater blessing would come te
the mere listener. particularly In din.
ing looms with dance floors. Hil
nerves Are continually frazsled by the
blare OF brass and t'.a .xecution OF
All kinds Of heathenish jazz stunts
when all he wants to do -is to eat
hts meal In peace and quiet. Why
brass Instruments should ever be al
lowed TN dining room is something
that philosophers Of some calmer
saner age may wonder about.
