It is now said that Bailey is against
lorimer. Possibly he has had his
ear to the -ground lately and the
rvmblings from Texas nave waked
him up.
Fifty or more people have already
cned from the heat in the Northern
cities. Why don't the poor parched
.up folks who live North come South
for the summer?
Gov. Woodrow Wilson will be in
Columbia this week, whore he will
make a speech to the press gang.
? We have read several of his speeches
?and they are all good.
That Ware Shoals story is being
explained yet. We would advise
newspaper reporters to follow the ad
vice of old Davey Crocket, "be sure
you are right, and then go ahead."
, The Greenville Piedmont Is -given
credit for discovering "that If a
man's sins don't find him dit his wife
will." We thought -Mrs. Eve made
thai discovery many thousands of
years ago.
Cov. Dix says Bryan deserves "a
high place in history." He already
has tt, and the little three for a quar
ter editors that are continually peck
ing at him can't reduce It the one
millioneth part of an inch.
If Mr. Carnegie would tell all he
knows about the steel trust, we fear
that some eminently respectful gen
tlemen, as this world reckons re
spectability, would become pension
ers on Uncle 9am's bounty.
The Democratic House has deter
mined to make the Republican Sen
lalte vote on the farmers' free list bill
If congress has to stay in session un
til next December. That is right.
The Republicans should be made to
toe the mark.
Speaker Champ Clark will be the
Democratic nominee for presidential
honors believes Senator Robert L.
Taylor of Tennessee, who has just
completed a "swing around the cir
cle." The Times and Democrat picks
Wilson as a winner.
It is perfectly natural for such
freaks as Senator Heyburn, of Idaho,
to fight the bill for the election of
United States ?enators by the people.
If, vre had such a law, men like Hey
fcurn could never get elected to the
Senate, and he knows it.
The Charlotte Observer says In
snVgent Leader Francisco I. Madero,
Jr., is prudent in refusing to visit
Mexico City until President Diaz has
resigned. Perhaps he has read Ae3op
?:as every one should do?and re
aembers how the fox showed his wis
dom bv refusing to obey King Lion's
Invitation because all the tracks at
the cave-mouth pointed one way.
1 Another of the Old Guard of the
Btate Press has answered roll call,
"Col. T. B. Crews, Editor and pro
prietor of the Laurensvllle Herald,
was (ailed from labor on last Satur
day tight and is now with loved ones
who '.iad preceded him to the better
fand. One by one these old men that
have given character and tone to the
Iountry nress of the State pass away, i
We siall miss them.
It s explained that the democratic
members of the senate oppose the
refer >n?e of the Lorimer case to a
speti il committee because to do 30
night "hurt the feelings" of Senators
Bnlloy, Paynter, Fletcher and Bank
head, who were members of the com
mittee on privileges and elections,
which whitewashed Lorimer at the
last session, and are still members
of It. The truth should b? estab
lished in the case regardless of the
feelings of any one.
W* regret to learn of the death of
Col. T. B. Crews, Editor of the Lau
rens --ille Herald. He was nearly
e<gh:y years of age, and had been
oonrected with th* press of the State
for >ver sixty years. He "was a true j
man. and had scores of friends who i
will regret to hear of his death. He i
was a gallant soldi-r of the Lost!
Cause and had been honored po.lit-<
ically by the peonle of his county;
more than once. We always met him |
at ho Press Association meetings,
and now that he will not be there, j
ibpy will not be the same to us.
rt is pretty hard to reconcile all
the stories that have been told about
thai Ware Shoals matter. The mill j
managers flatly contradicts thn state
ment that they refused to shut down \
because their employees wanted to
hear Gov. Blease. On th^ contrary, j
?they say that no such request, was!
maiie, and that as far bock as May
1, notice had been given to the em
plovpes of the mill that a general
holiday would be given on the day
?the Governor was to speak. Was this
ataf'?ment about the holiday posted as
?filmed by the mill people? If it was
aha: clears the mill people, and leaves
the others to fight it out.
The Farmer .!? eedeth AIL
If It was not for the farmer and
his farm and whaf. he makes on it
this great countr.r of ours would
not today be considered the richest
and greatest country on the planet.
Notwithstanding the fact that he is
plundered morning, noon and night
out of much of his hard earned mon
ey by the operations of the tariff, he
still manages to ms.ke enough to feed
himself and the balance of us. Yet
he' is hardly cOtiBld. red when it comes
to legislation, The men he sends
-to represent him la Congress plucks
him for the benefit of rich constitu
ents who can affcrd to spend large
sums to influence legislation.
AH of the above is fully verified
by the fact that the exports from
the United States in the fiscal year
1911 will probably exceed by about
three hundred million dollars the fig
ures of laBt year, and cross the two
billion dollar line. The ?gures of
exports of the bureau of 'Sta
tistics, department of commerce
with April, show and excess of 268
million dollar over those in the cor
responding months of last year, and
for the single month of April, an ex
cess of 25 million dollars over April
of last year, thus Indicating that the
growth in ex-ports in 1911 will ap
proximate 300 million dollars, and
the total exports of the year probably
exceed two billion dollars.
What are the principal causes in
this enormous growth in exports in
191' vhen oom-pared with 1910? It
it weil known that in certain arti
cles, ^uch as wheat, flour, cattle,
meats and others of this class, ex
ports of 1911 are less than those of
earlier year in the history of the
1ng off in these Important staples, of
which the United States has in the
past been such a large exporter, the
total value of merchandise export
ed seems likely to show a larger
growth in 1911 r.han shown by any
earlier years in the history of the
foreign trade. Exports of cattle in
the ten months ending with April
show an actual falling off of over 2
1-2 milllom dollars in value when
compared with the corresponding
months of 1910.
Wheat shows a falling off of about
23 million dollars in value in the
ten months in question, compared
with the eorresnondin-r. period of the
earlier year; canned beef, fresh beef.
Oleo oil, and taliow, all show a de
cline in the quantity exported in the
pared with the corresponding moaths
ten months ending April when com
of the proceeding year, yet in that
same ten months the total value of
all exports from the United States is
268 million dollars greater than in
the corresponding months of the pre
ceding year. WThat Is the cause? The
cause of so large a growth in cer
tain articles as to overcome the loss
In certain other articles and still
create a gain of 268 million dollars
over the figures of last year is chief
ly the high price of cotton and the
increased outward movement of man
ufacturers.
Exports of cotton for the ten
months ending with April show alone
an increase of 143 million dollars
over the corresponding months of
last year, the total value of cotton
exported in the ten months ending
April being 549 million dollars, as
against 406 mililon dollars of last
year. The average export price per
pound during tho ten months ending
April was higher than the average
in any full fiscal year during the last
quarter of a centary. Corn also shows
a gain, the value of exports in the
ten months ending with April being
nearly 28 millon dollar*?, against a
little more than 21 million In the
same months of last year, while mfetft
and diary products show an increase
of about four million dollars in 1911
over the 1910 period. The chief
cause of the large increase in 1911
over 1910 are found in the lar^e ex
portation and high price of cotton,
and the !r*rge exportation of manu
factures of all kinds.
Senate Has Improved.
The United State Senate is rapidly
changing its personel and becoming
a more representative body. It can
no longer be cailed the leading mil
lionaire club of America. The num
ber of millionaires in it has percepti
bly decreased in the last few years.
According to the calculations of the
Philadelphia Inquirer no less that
?50,000,000 worth of senators has
been ripped from the upper branch
by an operation as simple as the
cue that left Adam without one of
his ri'.s. The late Demorratic cy
clone had much to do with it. From
present indications there will have to
be formed an association for the con-J
serration of our millionaires in the
senate unless it is to become the
poor man's c!ub.
The death o? Stephen B. Elkins.
cf West Virginia, carried $15,000,
000 out of the senate. The retire
ment of Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode
Island, carried $10,000,000 away.
Four million went with Eugene Hale,
of Main, when he made way fori
Senator Johnson, elected by the Dem
ocratic legislature. ChaunceyM. De-{
pew, of New York, director in thirty
two different railroads walked off
with $7,000,000. It was his own and j
he had a right to walk off with it,
but the senate in the aggregate be
came just that much poorer and bet
ter.
Then there was John Kern, of New
Jersey, who. while scarcely in the
class of Elkins. was worth $5.000.
nnn. When he left another five mil
lion man bit the dust, so far as the
senate was roncerned. In the broad,
sweet fields of private life wandered
Nathan B. Scott, of West Virginia,
with his $4,f;00,nno. With him,
along the rose-bordered byway, went
James P. Taliaferro, of Florida, with
$^.000,000. Hughes, of Colorado,
died, removing another $2,000,000.
There was $50,000.000 right at
one clip. The men elected to re-j
place these miiionaires are virtually!
poor men. or. at least, what the!
world consider- poor in these days of
big fortunes. Watson, of West Vir
ginia, who replaced Elkins, is about
the only millionaire, In the batch of
baby members. He Is worth $2,000,
000.. Senator O'Gorman, of New
York, is by no means wealthy, and
he expects to be obliged to support
his large family on $7,500, which is
his salary in the senate. He used
tc receive $17,500 as judge of one
of the New York courts, and he ad
mits now that it is not going to
be easy to keep up the senatorial
pace on $7,500. Senator Money, of
Mississippi, who retired with the last
congress, was a poor man, and John
Sharp Williams, who succeeded hin.,
is not wealthy.
