COLBY NOT AMBITIOUS.
Not Candidate For Democratic Con
vention Chairman.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, June 19.--Brainbridge
Colby declared in a statement today
that he was not even "a receptive
candidate for permanent chairman
of the democratic national conven-
ton. Mr.. Colby said: "The report
persists that 1 am to be permanent
chairman Of the democratic conven-
ton. This report has no foundation.
The organization OF the convention
and the choice Of it's officers are
matters which the convention itself
will decide.
II am not even a receptive candi-
date for the position of permanent
chairman. There are many members
of the party with much stronger
claims upon its recognition and who
richly deserve any honor in It's gift.
/ am going to the convention with no
other thought than to cooperate
heartily with my fellow delegates
from the District of Columbia and to
participate In the deliberations of tho
convention modestly. and I hope,
helpfully. shall return to my duties,
in Washington the moment the con-
vention adiohrns."

EDITORIAL AMENITIES.

[Webster City Freeman-J ournal1
In the matter of selecting delegates
to the Methodist convention, the
method is worthy Of the study OF
practicali men. Nobody was avail
able to be delegate who had not
been in the organization for Ave
years in good standing.--Des Moines
Register.
Thus speaketh the Des Moines
paper in the coarse Of a long editorial
commencing tho Methodist way and
criticising the republican methods!
Does the Register seriously want the
republican party to adopt plan of
selecting delegates that would for
ever bar it's editor from being a dele
gate to republican convention.

owing chiefly to the fact that receipts

active and values fluctuated rapidly,

" to II cents lower, with July 1,S0a
to 1.S0s and September at 1.70a to
1.T11s, were followed by a sharp rise
to we'll above Saturdays finish. and
then a moderate reaction.
Both July and September touched
a new high price record for the
season. but persistent selling credited
to a leading eastern SPECTATOR
brought about setbacks. The close
was unsettled, Il to Ia cents higher,
with July at s1.S2h to $1.S2A and
September at s1,72 to s1I2A.

S. c., one of the big cotton manufac-
turers of the South, has just declared
a stock dividend of 303 per cent, and

$3.50 a share was bid for the stock
of this company. The Easley Mills,
of Easley, S. c., has also declared a
stock dividend of 800 per cent. pay
able in preferred stock yielding 7 per
cent. year. The Saxon Mills have
declared a stock dividend of 100 per
cent. and other mills are reported as
likely to declare large stock divi-
dends.
While the amazing property of The
cotton mill industry is adding enor-
mously to the wealth of the South,
these great dividends show that the
cotton mills could nave paid much
higher price for cotton and still have
earned enormous profits. Unquestion-
ably the cotton producers have not
had a fair division Of this prosperity.

lima, speaking before the annual din
ner of the Palmetto State society.
II do not approve of any further
surrender of state sovereignty to the
federal government" declared the
governor. II am convinced after a
few years of experiments and disast-
ers we will go back to the govern
ment established by the constitution. !"
The governor voiced his opposition
to cash bonus for soldiers, declar-
ing it would be an insult to service
men to attempt to compensate"
them for their services to the coun-
try. He said the South Carolina
branch of the American Legion had
taken similar stand.
'Their services can not be valued
in dollars and CENTS" he added. He
favored liberal provision, however,
for the wounded and needy.
Extending special privileges to
either capital or labor, Governor
Cooper declared, "is to forfeit the
confidence of capital or labor in the
integrity of the government. They
know that in doing so, those in au-
thority have some ulterior purpose.
They know also that this attitude
is liable to be reversed and, there
fore, they believe in getting while the
getting is good"
United States Senator E. D. Smith
presided at the dinner.

Assault.

Batesburg, April 80. - Mack
Thompson, a negro, who claims to be
IA years of age, was taken to Colum-
bia tonight and lodged in the state
penitentiary, charged with attempted
criminal assault. He was spirited
away from a crowd that had gathered
at the scene of the trouble, and rush
ed to Columbia by w. NJ. Laird, of
Pelion, deputy sheriff Of Lexington
county. For a good distance of the
way the machine carrying the negro
was followed by a party of citizens.
The trouble occurred near Steadman.
This afternoon between 2 and 3
o'clock two little white girls, about
10 and 12 years of age, were on their
way from school, and as they reached
place where the road crossed a
branch, negro came upon the scene.
The larger girl was forced into the
woods, while the smaller one got
away and gave the alarm.
A description of the clothing worn
by the assailant led to the arrest of
Thompson. In the meantime two other
men had been arrested and while the
citizens who had gathered were ques-
tioning these two men, Thompson
was rushed away in an automobile
toward Columbia. The crowd soon
got on to the departure and followed
but lost the trail, it is said, at Pelion.
