We agree with the Newberry Ob server "that i: the farmers ever ex pect to stand together in their de mand for a fai r price for cotton, now is the time." Vote for the "best men running for the municipal oflices regardless of what they mar advocate. Get good men in and th 3 other matters can be ?corrected late .*. The adjournment of Congress on Tuesday ende l a notable session of the national legislature. The poli tical effects ol the session are likely to be far reaching. ?When Pres dent Taft goes about the country t busing the Democrats after they pul ed him out of the reci procity hole r e brands himself as an ingrate and cheap politician. The News and Courier says the storm had n< appreciable effect on the business of the Charleston blind tigers. This shows how hardened men engaged in the liquor business becomes. B.u t just wait. The Repub ican party does not de fend on the people for success next year. They axpect to pull through by debauchii g the voters with the biggest corruption fund ever contrib uted by the special interests. With the ? dmisslon of Arizona and New Mexico I he complement of States in the contin ental area of the United States has t een reached The only political divisions organized under Territorial g >vernment of the United States are A aska and Hawaii. i * The Issues are now squarely defin ed between :he Democratic and Re publican par Jes for the campaign of next year. It is high protection on the part of he Republicans and tar iff for reveiue on the part of the Democrats. ' ?he people can take their choice. There se< ms to be a lot of bad foodstuff shipped into this State.Out of 32 sampl ;s of corn meal examined by the aLgric lltural department, Com missioner V 'atsbn says his chemists found only seven of them that were safe Jor foo 1 Of the 32 samples, 15 were taken in the city of Columbia, and only th ee of these were safe. Charlestcn was heavy hit by the 6torm, but he old city rises pluckily and gives he outside world to un derstand that she is still doing busi ness at the old stand. She has the sympathy < f all in her misfortune, but she wil come out of it, better and stronger th in she was before. Pluck like Charleston's can't be downed. The Democrats in Congress have served not ce on the camp followers and time s ervers in the party what ttrey may r ot expect in the next cam paign. Al who claim to be Demo crats will iave to toe the mark and fight for a tariff for revenue, or go over to he Republican party and fight for h gh protection. There will 1>e no moie dodging. Senator Vardaman delivered a lec ture at -lendersonvllle the other night, whi }h was greatly enjoyed by all who h<ard it. A gentleman from this city who heard Vardaman's speech says the report of it in a daily newspaper of this State was a gross misrepres? ntation of it. He says the speech wa i a good one and that Var daman is i polished speaker The News and Courier notes that notwithstanding the great storm that visited Cl arleston Sunday it did not lose an if su e. This is commendable in the News and Courier and it de serves credit for its pluck and en durance. But after all, The News and Com or only reflected the Char leston sp'rit of successfully pulling against t le tide. It is the way ev ery body down there does. The to )acco trust seems to have an old acquaintance in Virginia, whose fo mer associations with that corporation that may cost him his "political' head. Senator Claud A.I Swanson is a candidate for re-elec-' tion and seems to have a rather for midable opposition on account of) some ad nissions he has made con cerning past affiliations with the Amerciar Tobacco Company. That members of the poultry ?trust hav i been found guilty and have received prison sentences instead of fines is sn encouraging fact. Hither to trust magnates usually managed to escap? tbro.ugh the operation of immunity baths and convenient tech nicalties apparently designed to fav o- them And when the' trve been found guilty the penalty was a fine which they usually charged up to the con inner. That has been tho experience with the sugar, oil and to bacco tnsts, but with the success at tending the prosecution of the poul try trus it is to be hoped that a new day has dawned for the public. About the States. The act admitting Arizona and New Mexico, amended in accordance with the recommendations of the President to exclude the provision for recall of judges from the consti tution of Arizona and to make eas ier amendment of the constitution of New (Mexico, has become law, the President having affixed his signa ture. The people of these territories will now organize State governments and establish their capitals, elect Senators and Representatives in Con gress, and enter into sovereign rela tion with the United States forth with. On the Fourth of July next the design of the flag will be formally changed to show forty-eight stars in the union. , The Charleston Evening Post says it is one hundred and ten years since the first State was added to the original Union of thirteen States. On March 4, 1791 Vermont was admitted to Statehood. Kentucky and Ten nessee came in respectively in 1792 and 1796. These three were the only States admitted in the century of the Republic's establishment. The nine teenth century saw twenty-nine added to the Union, and the twen tieth, three. The year 1899 holds the record for the nmber of States admitted during a twelvemonth, the two Dakotas, Montana and Washing ton having come into the Union in the siDgle month of November. In 1845 Florida and Texas were admitted, in 1890 Idaho and Wyoming and in 1911 Arizona and New Mexico. Except by division of States already existing, by their own agreement and with the approval of congress, no more States may be created in the present continental confines of the I limited States. Texas may, under the I terms of its admission to the Union, of its own motion and independent of the will of Congress, constitute five States within its borders. In only Instance has a portibn of a State been established as a separate common wealth, that being the case of West Virginia, which was created during the Civil War. The divisior of Ter as into five states would give the South considerable more power [ and it has been talked about at dif ferent times, but has never been seri ously considered by her people. In the course of time, no doubt, the erection of a State or of States Jin Alaska will be proposed to the American people, and "possibly some of the other possessions beyond the ' seas may offer as candidates for Statehood, and a new policy, never contemplated by the founders of the Republic will have to be considered. It may not be so long, in the present prospect, before the matter actually dose come up in relation to Alaska, which is developing very rapidly. But unless in the fulness of time, the present boundaries of the United States should be extended by the ac quisition of the contiguous territory to the north or to the South, the na tion's mission of raising up into sov ereign States the territories within its borders has been completed. That Cotton Tare. The custom of deducting one dol lar from each bale of cotton that ! weighed less than four hundred nounds will no longer be practised by the buyers on this market, and in future farmers selling their cotton here will be paid for whatever a bale may weigh regardless of its size. This is right and proper and why the custom should have been practised here and nowhere else is hard to un derstand. The farmers had made up their minds that they would not sub mit to the custom any longer, and the buyers had to give in or run afoul of the law which prohibits the cus tom of deducting for light bales. Having won this victory, the far mers should now insist on getting full tare on each bale of coton they sell. Under the rule adopted at Liv erpool, where the price of our cotton is fixed, it is perfectly legal to put six per cent of the weight of the lint cotton in a bale in bagging and ziet on that bale. That is to say, a bale J weighing 400 pounds may carry 24 lbs. of covering and tics, 450 pounds I may carry 27 pounds, 500 may carry 30 pounds and so on. This is the tare allowed by the people in Liver pool whan they fix the price of cotton and the farmer that fails to put it on loses to that extent. Some years ago the cotton buyers in many places refused to buy cotton that carried over six per cent bag ging and ties except at a discount of 50 cents per bale no matter what the bale weighed, showing as their au thority certain regulations of cotton exchanges. Thi3 was nothing more or less than a scheme to beat the far mer, for it is a well established fact that the world's cotton prices is es tablished upon a six per cent tare, and the farmer who puts on less is cheated that much. The buyer has a right to offer what he pleases for cotton, but be should not attempt to deprive the farmer of his right to put six per cent bagging and ties on his ? tic n. o t-> ? i Hard to Get At. The indicted officials of the wire trust got off easily with a fine of $1,000 and payment of costs. Action was taken against the men individ ually and not against the corporation and it was promised that a jail sen tence would be sought after. How ever, as usual, it was a fin?, which to such men was a mere bagatelle, and no jail. How hard it seems t^ be to get a member of a trust behind prison bars. Probably if the wire trust officials had been poor men con victed of stealing fire wood or food there would have been no trouble In sending them to prison as a warning to other evil doers. It is such dis tinctions made becween rich and poor offenders that create discontent and too often a suspicion as to the integ rity of the courts. The adoption of the recall of judges would change all this, and that is why President Taft and other big Republicans oppose it. They know that if the judges were made to do their duty, as they would be if the recall was adopted, that their friends put up the campaign boodle for them, would face prison sentences instead of mere fines for their open violation of the laws. Un der the recall judges would no more be the tools of the trusts, as many of the United States Judges are now, but they would regard the interests of the people also. , CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free, For Sale?A second . ?and piano in good order at a low figure.

I am offering to sell as a whole until October the fifteenth, 1911, one of the best cotton plantations in Calhoun County. If not sold as a whole by then I shall cut into small tracts and sell. This 'plantation is located within one mile of Lone Star, S. C, and the A. C. L. R. R. runs through place, making it an easy matter to arrange a plantation siding at almost any point. There are 1264 acres in the tract, 430 of which are In swamp and pasture land, 600 acres now in cul tivation, and about two hundred that can be cultivated very easily. The land is a dark soil, practically level and free of stumps; there are twenty good tr-ttlements on the plantation, an.i the average rent for the past twelve years has been 2,500 pounds of lint cotton per annum. I am asking $30,000 for the place, and left as it is entirely to tenants it yields a magnificent return on that amount, but this could be very much increased by push and personal at tention, as the character of this land is 'the very best and repsonds quick ly to work and fertilizer.
