President Taft say3 that the wool and cotton schedules are indefensi ble, yet he ? ttacks the Democrats for attempting o remedy the situation. After the next election President Taft will bti numbered among the has-btms. We have 10 idea that Senator Till man will ta te an active part in next year's campaign against Gos\ Blease or any other candidate. The indica-i tions are that the Senator will be ent ba- \ tc Washington without op position, "j 'herefore, he should he Hands off. Gov. Fo$s of Massachsetts, says the tariff commission on which the president w .11 base his recommenda tions for revision is nothing, more than a body of clerks and absolutely without power. It is not for the Democrats to attack President Taft. The Republicans will show him up. It is sai l that Governor Noel of Mississippi will try to prevent James K. Vardan, ,n from taking his seat in the United States senate by claiming that when Vardaman was governor h-i spent several funds appropriated by the .Legislature and has never given a proper accounting for them. Those ol us whe are qualified to vote m thn municipal election next Tuesday should study the candidates who have s nnounced themselves; and try an picl out those who will best serve the c ty as Mayor an Aldermen. Vote for the best man, regardless of likes and lislikes. Food riots throughout northern i France reached their most serious stage whei. troops arrived on the scene and vere attacked by mobs of frenzied nen and women. Whole families ar s literaly starving to death in the departments of Ord and Asne and througl out other districts as a re- 1 suit of the high prices. That it vould be far better to send 5,000 chidl 3ss wives out of this coun try and br: ng in an_ equal' numbet of ^^frbfoSinuY &4-^ve3, was the state ment mad* at the Winona, N. Y., Bi ble conference by the Rev. George Stuart, of Clevelend, Tenu. "Wo men and lap dogs do not make a country; it takes fathers, mothers, and childrm," said Dr. Stuart. United States Senator Lorimer be came an ii sue again in the Grand Ar my of the Republic when he spoke in Illinois b? fore the Marion county soldiers r< union, and as a result the veterans .re split into factions for and again .t him. The senator called down particular ire when he de nounced t le recall and declared that he stood lor the "old methods." Govern r Foss, of Massachusetts, accuses P esident Taft of inconsisten cy and da igerous conservatism. "In order to lie effective progressive Re publicans must come into the Demo cratic ranks," said the governor. "The speeches of President Taft and Senator Lodge on the tariff at the Essex county Republican outing only serve to Tiden th brach in th Rpubli publican )arty." If what the Georgetown Times says aben t Charleston is true the old city must be in a bad fix politically. Our cot? np?rary says "The News and Cou: ier seems to be making a desperate fight for clean politics in Charleston; but we are afraid the bums h:. e that town about cinched. Tbo blind tigers an 1 criminal ele ment hare been given too much latitude by Mayor Rhett in the past." Congr. sman Underwood places the responsibility for the failure of this congf-ci9s to enact tariff reform measure, upon the President. That is exactely where it belongs, and un less public sentiment ,'changes be fore the election next year Mr. Taft will realize his mistake after the op portunity to save himself from de~ portunit; to save himself from de feat and his party from annihilation at the j oils has passed. The ?ock Hill Herald says: "up to the preset time over 1.300 applica tions fo: admission to Winthrop col lege ha' e been received. Of thi? number only about 700 can be ad mitted nn account of lack of dor mitory loom. Here is something for the lawmakers to ponder over. Thir teen hu ldred girls seeking education at Winlhrop and only room for sev en hundred! It is a shame on the State." The Herald must remem ber tha there is a bmit to the mon ey raisiig capacity of even the State. ?Strong Political Combine. While Senator Tillman has never said so publicly, there seems to be a well developed notion in some quar ters that he will fight Biease in the campaign next year. The Sumter Watchman and Southron says it has been wandering what would be the politfth.1 outcome of Senator Tin man's and Chief Justice Jones' visit to Mr. John G. Richards, of Liberty ?and while we have not yet found an answer, the follow ing editorial in the Lancaster News is somewhat illuminating. "It is very gratifying to Judge Jones' friends here to know that their distinguished fellow towns man is being urged to enter the gu bernatorial race, and it is earnestly hoped by them that he will be pre vailed upon to do so. "Judge Jones would make an ideal chief erecutive. His irre proachable private character and spotless public record, his preeminent ability, fine discriminating judg ment and universally recognized im partiality in the administration of justice, his wide knowledge of men and affairs, peculiarly and happily fit him for the office of governor of Ssnlh Carolina. v "As a candidate for the office, ' Judge Jones would be irresistible. He has no superior in the State as a 1 itump speaker. Ever cool and delib ' erate, quick and ready in debate, re sourceful, firm and courageous, elo quent and forceful in delivery, the ' jud,_'3 i3 a man few if any would care ? to tackle in public campaign." j Commenting on the aoove the Waterman and Southron says "if 1 Chief Justice Jones should enter the race against. Gov. Biease, and if he has the assurance of the support of Senator Tillman, Mr. Richards and their friends, Cole Biease will not serve two terms as governor, all prec edents to the contrary notwithstand ing. Chief Justice Jones'is a strong man and if the prohibition-local-op toin whiskey abomination is kept out of the campaign and the contest made strictly on the merits of the two men and on their official records Jones will win if any one brought out to defeat Biease can turn the trick." Very Good Idea, Mr. John Wood, secretary of the Spartanhurg Board of Trade, has is sued a call to about two hundred representative citizens of Spartan burg county togather in the rooms of the Board of Trade one Monday for the purpose of organizing a Spar tanburg County Board of Trade. Mr. Wood wantsi every township in the county to be represented and in the organization each township will have a vice president and a member of the executive committee, in his circular letter to the farmers, asking them to join in the meeting Mr. Wood, among other things, asks the following questions: "Now, we are igoing to try to do business with this organization. Come to the meeting at the court house on salesday and bring along some of your neigborR. Don't you want to get rid of grade crossings? Don't you want better telephonee' Don't you want to keep some o? the money at home that is being sent away every year? Don't you want to have the very best agricultural paper to be ihad? Don't you want to know wheth er or not you can make more money off of your farm? Don't you want to hear addresses on live subjects by .he best men to be had? Don't yom want- a market for the stult you can "raise at homel" Don't you think the people of Spartanburg county ought to get closer together, and pull to other better, and prove that we have the best county on earth? Do you want to sell your land, Do you want to trade? Don't you honestly be lieve that we could do a thousand things for-ourselves if we got togeth er and talked about it without some body trying to get a job every time we 'met? We know you do and we can get anything on earth if we "go after it?" The Greenville Daily Piedmont says the idea of the Spartanburg sec retary strikes us as being a very good one if it can be put into practice. If a city board of trade can accom plish anything for a city we see no reason why a county one should not accomplish much for a county. We shall watch with interest the re sult of Secretary Wood's efforts in his county board of trade scheme We are satisfied that its possibilities are great. It would brh:g the coun try aud the county seat very close together, and they could pull togetr er and help each other in many ways. Southern Railway Helping. "To clothe the whole of humanity would require ?12,000,000 bales of cotton each year." This statement was made by President Ilobbs of the 'National association of Cotton Manu facturers, at its recent-annual meet ing in Boston, Mass. Mr. Hobbs said that of the 1,500,000,000 Inhabi tants of the world only 500,000,000 are only completely clothed, while 750,000,000 are partially clotred and 250,000,000 are practically not cloth ed at all. As civilization advances, the pro portion of the partially clothed and the unclothed will decrease, and this with the increase of population in civilized countries, will call for an in creased supply of cotton. The cot ton belt of the United States now fur nishes fully two-thirds of the world's supply of cotton anad sti supply of cot.on, and, as the demand increases, will be called upon great ly to increase its annual production. It is a clear understanding of this condition that has led the Southern Railway company to organize a Cot ton culture department, to work in co-operation with the United States asricultural department and the ag ricultural authorities of the South ern states, to keep the cotton produc tion of the South abreast of the de mand by bringing about the adop tion or those cultural methods which will result in larger avxearge yield per acre thus increasing the profita bleness of cotton growing and leav ing surplus lands to be devoted to other crops and the growing of live stock. It is clearly more profitable to a farmer to produce fifty bales of cot ton on fifty acres than to produce pwpnnq eq? no }unotun 9Uius am acres, for he will receive the same amount for his cotton and will have fifty acres for other uses. Under or dinary circumstances, every increase in the average yield of cotton per acre reduces the cost of production per pound and yields the farmer a larger margin of profit between the cost of growing his crop and the sell ing price.
