WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1906.
Tho Ch?nese boycott seems to
ihave petered out. The customs re
port'of China foi the year 1905
ust issued i-bows that American
imports were nearly threo hun
dred per cent greater than during
the previous year. The producers
of cotton should entertain no fear
of the boycott - influencing the
:-pr,ice next fall.
oBer?.is'LO soil on earth su
perioV i? tnat of this section. Al
ost everything under the sun
can b9 successfully grown in South
Carolina. Tea pf an excellent
quality is being grown, and Con
gressman Johnson is now en-,
deavoiing to obtain au appropria
tion to defray the expanse of im
porting from Japan roots of the j
grasrused in making matting. I?
has already been demonstrated
that this grass can be growrrm
the Uuiti d states, particularly in
the5 lowland country of South
Carolina.
It would be the greatest possible
.boon to both, if the producer and
manufacturer of cctton could get
together in the matter of fixing a
defiuite price for the staple. In
the past the speculators and mid
dle men have so manipulated the
market that the range of fluctua
tion has beeu ary where from five
to fifteen cents. Under the present
system of marketing, matrimony
.itself is not any greater "leap in
the dark'* than is the planting of
cotton, so far as knowing in ad
Vance what the price will be is
concerned. Could a farmer know
whenplanting whether^he would
realize six,, eight, ten or twelve
centB in the fall he would better
know bow to regulate his expense
account, and the matter of making
ends meet would be less difficuU.
Some of the most ardent dis
pensary advocates are muddying
the waters, beclouding the issues
and creating wrong imprestious
iii order to strengthen that which
will doubtless in due season take
its place among the "lost causes.''
To further their ends, currency
has been given a rumor to the
effect that prohibition will be re
pudiated in Marlboro,
loee
vn'o:^ncvdares
. has""said in part in a
statement: ' "The people of j
[arlboro'are now, and have been
.^or more than- fifty years, opposed
to the sale in the couniy of intoxi*
eating liquors. They are opposed
to the establishment of a dispen
sary iu the county, nor would they
tolerate a licensed dram shop."
A Growing Evil.
So widespread has become the
mania for gambling in futures
and so vitally does it affect the
commercial and financial life of
" the South, not to mention the de
moralization wrought to the in
dividual and society, that Mr. W.
J. Montgomery, the retiring presi
dent of the South Carolina bank
ers'association, devoted a large
?'portion of an address before the
recent convention to this evil,
.whichhas been denominated the
; "greatest petril, perhaps, that has
besot the South since slavery."
yrbfr average cotton crop is about
11,000,000bales and yet it is esti
mated that 500,000,000 are annual
ly bought ancfsold on paper. These
fictitious transactions are gam
; b?ing pure and simple.
Scarcely does one pick up a
??ily paper without reading of the
Freck of some financial institution
ind downfall of some, trusted offi
;ial who has yielded to this in
sidious temptation. Notable ex
amples ?re the failure of the large
cotton-mills of Union, entailing a
?loBS^?f"millions of dollars upon
ie stockholders; the recent short
ige of the treasurer of a Union
)Uliding and loan association ; the
ibezzlernimt of $25,000 by the
?ler of the bank at Ridgeway,
iud the stealing of. $100,000 by a
||&fficial in Philadelphia, all
>f whom were victims of specula
ion.
Mere fraud is perpetrated, more
ii aery wrougbt, more fortunes
?pianderedt-and more lives ruined
-gambling, particularly this
iV than from any other cause,
tye intemperance. President
fon.igomery was right when be
id: "The last General Assembly
lis state fell short of its duty
people of the State when it
sd io put the stamp of its
tativejdisapproval on this uo
&itraffic, so demoralizing in
?encies^and minons in its
sequences." j
j Editor Edgefield Advertiser:
I write to inform your readers that
now is an opportune time for vet
erans of the Mexican und Indian
Wars, or their widows, to apply to
Congress for an increase of pension.
T have introduced bills to increase
the pensions of all surviving sol*
diers und lite widows of those de
ceased, who have applied ?0 me for
the same, andi will "be glad to
hear from others in my District
whose pensions have not been in
creased io the limit.
I have given considerable work
and attention to procuring compen
sation from the Government for
damage to churches and the des
truction of the same hy Sherman's
army during the Civil War, and
have been successtul in getting
quite a number of such claims from
che Southern States reported favor
ably by the Committee on War
Claims, of which I am ? member,
?nd I desire to call the attention of
our people ?tri the necessity of
prompt action in presenting: such
claims to Congress." lipon* informa
tion of any such claims, I will be
glad to co-operate with those inter
ested and will introduce bills for
their relief.
Very respectfully yours,
J. 0. PATTERSON.

At the expiration of Miss Hugh
