Appointment of Tolbert Made
to Prevent Gossip.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Word came
to Washington today that Senator N.
B. Dial of South Carolina will con-
tinue his fight against proposed con-
firmation of Joseph w. Tolbert, ap-
pointed by the president to be mar
shal of the Western district of South
Carolina.
1t is regarded here as certain that
against the opposition of Senator
Dial, Tolbert's confirmation will be
impossible. That the president gave
him recess appointment, in spite
of the fact that the committee which
investigated complaint against him
was understood to be disposed to re-
iect him, greatly surprised official
Washington.
He will serve until such time as
his nomination is rejected. 1t is un-
derstood that the senators who stand
for the administration will delay as
long as possible the crucial test. 1t
is known that Senator Dial, simply
by explaining that Tolbert is person
ally wobnoxious" to him, can bring
about his defeat.
Some time ago the president an
nounced that he would make no re-
cess appointments unless necessity
compelled him to act. 1t is under
stood, however, that the president
was informed that it was reflection
against the Republican party that a
member of the national committee,
the oldest member in point of ser
vice, could not secure an office un-
der the administration. Thus moved,
the president, it is said, has agreed
to act.

Saluda Eleven Has Clean
Slate So Far.

Saluda, S. c., Oct. 21.-Four in a
row in as many games is the record
of Saluda High School football elev-
en-. The last victim at the hands of
the local high school team was Edge
field on the local field yesterday af-
ternoon, 3S to 6. In The first quarter
the game was very tame, neither side
showing any special interest.
Within the first few minutes of
play Coleman for Saluda ran the
end 40 yards for touchdown. Edge
field the tightened>rp and held the
local boys for a couple of first downs
and scored in this quarter their only
touchdown of the game. In the sec
ond, Coleman again carried the ball
across the gold line for Saluda, while
Edwards kicked goal.
In the third quarter. Edgefeld re-
ceived the kickoff but fumbled the
ball on Saluda's 2O-yard line and
after few plunges, Corley, for Sa-
luda, went through the line for an
other touchdown and Edwards again
kicked goal. In this quarter, Mitchell
for Saluda received forward pass
and ran for 40 yards for another
touchdown.
The last quarter found the home
team going strong and it completed
several passes. Foy, for Saluda scor-
ed after carrying the ball for 80
yards.
Day for Edgefeld played an ex-
cellent game for the visitors. His in
reference and tackles were excep-
tionally good. The game was clean
one throughout and deserves nothing
but praise for the Edgefeld eleven.
The boys were about evenly matched
in weight. Saluda may have had the
edge few pounds. The weather was
clear and cool and a fairly good
crowd witnessed the game.

will have to cease the practice of
hauling a bale of cotton home and
dumping it out on the ground at the
most convenient place. Cotton yards
will have to be dispensed with or
used only as temporary place to
store the bales. Not until those who
produce or handle the staple in
America show a disposition to give
adequate protection to this valuable
product will the practice of penaliz-
ing the American crop become OBJ
solete.
Another reform is needed in the
handling of the American crop, and
that is the method of sampling,
which method contributes largely to
the ragged appearance Of the bale
and is responsible for much country
damage. Every buyer or other per-
son who inspects a bale feels called
upon to slash the bale in a different
place and drag out pound Of lint.
Samples should be drawn at the gin
and certified to. Why cut bale into
shreds so that when it reaches the
port it looks like a wornout mop?-

Country Damaged Cotton.

The country damage to cotton
amounts to many million dollars an.
nually. The cotton producer pays for
it. Buyers of cotton the world over
make allowances for country dam
age. 1t comes with such regularity
every season that docking the entire
crop has become a regular habit.
This dockage is reflected in the price
paid on every bale marketed. No
matter if one farmer or hundred
farmers place their cotton i'll ware
houses or protect it from the wealth
er on the farm, they contribute to
the sum paid for damaged cotton
brought about through neglect and
carelessness of others.
Before the practice OF docking for
country damage can be broken up,
the method OF handling cotton on the
farm and at gins must be changed in
all parts of the cotton belt. Farmers

SENATOR LANEY GROWS
IN STRENGTH AS THE
RACE PROGRESSES

Senator Laney is making a strong
campaign in his race for governor.
If he continues to be a headline at
traction on the campaign circuit there
is not much room for doubt that he
will run into Columbia ahead of all
contenders, thereby carrying the
name of Chesterfield for the first time
in history to the governors mansion.
The States report of Tuesdays
meeting had this to say of him:
Allendale, June 27.-The campaign
meeting for state officers here today
was featured by the statement of
George X. Laney, candidate for COVER
nor, that he was not a Bleasite nor
had he ever been in sympathy with
the ideas or politics as advocated by
the former governor.
The statement was made to counter
act rumor which has followed in the
wake of the campaign party, letters
of inquiry having been received by
Mr.. Laney as to the truthfulness of
the rumor and number Of inquiries
in person having been made. Mr.. La
ney said he would not sail under false
colors, whatever the consequences. He
absolved all candidates of RESPONSE
bility for the rumor, and his state
ment was made without offense to any
member of the party, it being general
ly agreed that it was "best for all
concerned" Mr.. Laney waxed warm
in placing the stamp of falsehood on
the report, and wished that he might
"get hold of the cowardly cur who is
thus trying to ALLEVIATE votes from
me-" Mr.. Laney received much ap-
plause when he concluded.

no room for doubt as to the fact of
the attempted assault, the woman,s
story was not very lucid and the Jury
did not believe the evidence sufficient
to warrant the death penalty.
Shannon was defended by Messrs.
Hunley and Murray, who were apoint-
ed by the court, as Shannon had no
attorney. They served without COM
pensation. The State cannot try
defendant without counsel and the
ethics of the legal profession require
that lawyer SO appointed shall serve
his client to the best of his ability.
These two gentlemen made splen-
did fight for their client, Developing to
the best advantage the element of
doubt in the case and apparently sue
ceeded in securing the lesser verdict.
