C, by registered let ter, check or i loney order. The rains ir the last week have been ,pr tty g( aeral, but there are some sections' :hat still need mois ture. The man wh > is prejudiced for or against a cause or person cannot pos sibly form a r ght estimate of that cause or ^eraoi. A man has i uccessfully gone over Niagara Falls i i a barrel. This goes to show what I ools some people will make of them elves and to what a lot of other p< ople are eager to see them do it. It would be wrong to judge our selves or otht rs by some sporadic thought or act Ion. Our real self is rather to be i ?arned by noting the direction our houghts and feelings most readily ti ke. Now is the time when ambitious cities 'proudly ecord that they have gained so muc l per cent in popula tion over the census of last year. They will keep this up until the next federal census <5omes to puncture the balloon. It is good o learn of the great wealth in the faults of the national treasury and o the per capita wealth of' the nation But after all the true wealth is tot to be found in gold and silver, bi t In the character of the people. The differs ice between bill-board advertising ai d newspaper advertis ing is just tbs: that with' the first you have to g i in the advertisement, while in the s< cond the advertisement goes to you. t .nd that makes all the difference in t le world with business. The Sparta iburg Herald laments that Spartant arg must put up with' the old-fashlo led coffee-mill style of telephone, in the use of which it is necessary to urn a crank. That is exactly what Orangeburg has, and will have as ong as we put up with it. I I The sclent! it who says that be can photograph 1 le soul should experi meat with th.; sugar, steel and other trusts. It h is always been a ques tion whethe corporations have or have not sou s and It would be well to have the n atter settled In the most approved sei? ntific <n.anner. Two thorn and delegates and visi tors fo the National Negro Educa tional Congri ss at Denver, Col., could not find pla es to slaep because the hotels and 1 oarding houses refused tc entertain them. This shows that the South is not the only place wihere negroes are refused admittance to hotels and oarding houses kept by white people. The lyn hing of the negro-at Coatsville, F a., the other day was one of the. mosl brutal and 'heartless things that has ever taken place in this covfntry He was literally burn alive for mi rdering a man, yet when a negro is ynched decently and or derly in this section for the most heinous of crimes there goes <up a howl from t ie very section where this ?burning toes place. 1 Report < ome from Washington that a nun ber of foreign spies are operating in this country, stealing the secrets ?f our defenses at impor tant .points etc. ' The Charlotte Ob server says they should not make the mistake of overlooking the boys who are sped''n; the plow and playing ball, meas u-.'ng calico and keeping rapld-llyir.f machinery in tune. There is ?: he greatest defense this country ha". . Wheneve : any former American so ciety woman who has married into the ranks of European aristocracy gives a pa "ty, is presented at court, or wears z new necklace or coronet, the great American dailies eagerly state that she is the daughter of so end-so of New York, Pittsburg or Chicago. ,V'hat if she is, the country can bear 1 he strain. But, in truth, does not t ie constant recital of such news savo or flunkeyism? The Xe? York World says the Eng lish House of Lords has imitated the wisdom < ? Davy Crockett's coon. Since no >ne on either side Wished to see the number of lords doubled, and .since the Liberals were certain to take tt at step if driven to it, the upper Ho tse has shown discretion in its sui -ender. There is no way known to history by which a. small privileged class can permanently hold out again t a nation resolved. With a flourish of trumpets the Standard Oil Company announces that it ha: broken itself up into thir ty or more subsidiary companies. That is a 11 very well, but it is safe to say th; t the one controlling Influ ence und? r which they all will come will emai ate from an office building !n New Y >rk City, and that the Stan dard Oil business will go on very much the 6ame as it has in the past. There m y be a change of raiment but the body beneath will be the same. i Market Cotton Crop''Slowly. - Never has a better or more prom ising opportunity to get full worth of his product confronted the cotton producer than now, says the Atlanta Constitution. It is pointed out in a letter from C. J. Hayden, of Atlanta, writing form Manchester, England, and published today, that the Eng lish spinner has been and is still suf fering from the scarcity of supply of cotton. He is counting on the season's son's crop, which he has been told will be the largest ever produced, to recoup his losses. He is organized, has all the money he wants at his command and he is going into the field with the opening of the season to beat down the price of the coming crop and garner it in on the losest possible basis. ' Consensus of opinion among the producers who are best qualified to judge conditions and prospects, -is that this season's crop h*.s been overestimated. It was pointed out at the recent meeting of the Georgia State Agricultural Society at Way cross, that the tendency of th* season has been to grow more weed than boll and that the fruitage as com pared with the stalk, will quite disappointment;. In a ommuiication published today, W. J. Wingate, of Meigs. Ga., states, further that this season's cotton is largely a bottom crop, which will mature early thus fighting the danger of heavy market ing in the fall months with nothing to back it up later in the seaso. The too evident effect of flooding the market early in the season would therefore be t bring a much lower price^ for cotto:i thus sold than it is actually worth based u;f>n the real j crop outlook. Then there is the dam age to the crop from the cotton cater pillar in the west, whLh, added to that of the boll weevil is making more serious inroods on the crop tuan have yet been taken into consideration. Thus, from the stadpoint o! the sea son's crop, the producer hay an ad vantage which he can put to uood use. If he goes straight to market with all his cotton in the beginning of the season prices will go smash and the foreign manufacturer will win, as he Is right now planning to do. Exper ience of past seasons has so well dem onstrated this that it should l>e need less to give the producer warning It has happened repeatedly and will happen again, unless there comes what must be almost a revolution in crop marketing methods?a gradual feeding to the market of otton as the manufacturer and the consumer need it, and are prepared to take it at the price it is actually v.-orth! The foreign manufacturei wants nothing better than the fic-odxng of the market In theearly months o' the season; he thrifesnpon it. It Is a bear movement for the unfortunate results of which the producer has only him self to blame. It would se suicidal business policy for the manufacturer or the merchant to put the whole of his product on the market at once; the same policy spells dis^ter for the producer of cotton or uny other agricultural product. Farmers generally are in bettter shape than they have ever been: they owe less money,* and, with the aid of the banks they can sell their cotton during the season as the price is right and save n.-illions of dollars. This is a plain business proposition; and if the producers will watch the market, in an organized way, selling when they can get full value and holding when heavy re ceipts or bear operations temporarily depress the price, there is no ques tion that they will reap the. reward. Hypocrisy of the World. The Charleston Evening Post shows up the hypocrisy of the New York World and gives us a glimpse of the hollowness of that great news paper's reform pretenses. The Post sa?d for months the World has been crying out against the giaat money trust, of which it says, J Pierpolnt Morgan is the head. The World has insisted that the money trust is the worst of all trusts, and thc-t it should be broken up by the law or with an axe or in any other old way. The howl The World has 'been making against the money trust has been something awful. Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, has been goin.'5 about the [ country for quite a spell, ringing the changes and the welkin against the great business combinations and ag gregations of wealth e?d naming the money trust in the same relative position on the list as the angel gave to A'bou Ben Adhem's name. Dr. Wilson told his tale distinctly and emphatically over two months ago. when he spoke in Columbia, under the auspices of the South Carolina Press Association. He has been tell ing it ever since in all parts of the country. And most of the time The New York World has been saying the same thing. But a few days ago the World learned that Gov. Wilson was saying this thing, and what do vou think it did? Hail him as a political proph et, of course, and wish him more power to his voice. Not a bit of it. The World reared back upon its hind legs, pawed the air a. piece and screeched out an inquiry as to whether Dr. Wilson was Bryaniz ing," saying that if he was doing that it feared It would never be able to stand by and for him if he ran for President. And why? because, said The World, it was a manifest absur dity for anybody to say there was or could be a money trust. It is one of the funniest and most disgusting bits of cant that ever was exhibited in our political show. The Post says "of course Gov. Wil son is Bryanlzlng and equally, of course the World is Bryanizing. Col. Roosevelt Bryanized early In the game, and Mr. Taft late. Attorney General V?lkershain ^ryanlzes on tour, though he sticks to the inter ests when he is working on his port folio. Practically all the politicians who hope to get something in the way of recognition ami elevation at the hands of the people Bryanize, and occasionally a hu^ibug newspa per does the same thing:. Mr. Bryan's cries of 1896 have become fashion able, and most aspirants for national leadership are. echoing them. Few of these, however, are Bryanized to the point of really meaning what they say. That has been the secret of Mr. Bryan's failure, continues the Post. He was too literal. What he said he would do people have believed he meant to do, so they wouldn't give him the chance. The trust magnates had no such 'idea of Col.. Roosevelt, so they stood by him and took all of his cussing. The World finds it good business to denounce Mr. Morgan's money trust, but when it comes to a suggestion that this should be bust ed, it has quite a different feeling. That would take away from New York something of its power to dom inate the finances of the country, and nobody in business in New York can stand for such a thing.
