Perkins, Nlbridge H. Gary and the rest of the steel trust-harvoster trust magnates. Ito open opposition to the third term ticket was Indicated In tho Issue of Sept 14. In tho Issue of Sept. 21 its reasons for espousing the Democratic ?taus? are clear and forceful. The leading editorial, "Th? Wastes >f Competition," says: "More and more the campaign ls ?doming down to two pressing issues, the tariff and the proper treatment of monopolies. Collier's actively dis agrees with the view of monopoly be ing urged by Messrs. Roosevelt, Par kins and Gary* "They talk a great deal about tb? ?raste? of competition. The necessary vastes of competition are relatively Insignificant, and the wastes of unfair and destructiva competition are wholly onneoessary.

"As no means exist for determining Whether gronter net earnings aro duo to greater efficacy in management or to exoessivo profits, largo net earnings would be followed by compulsory re duction of prices, which in turn would create a senso of injustico suffered, paralyse Individual enterprise and pro duoe unprogressive, slipshod manage ment. The attempt to secure low prices through price fixing would prove as impotent as thc statutes whioh have sought to protect the pub ho in railroad rates by limiting tho dividends. "The interstate commerce commis sion has been invoked as an argument In favor of licensing monopoly. That commission bas stopped many abusos; lt has practically put an end to cor rupt and corrupting discrimination in rates; lt has protected tho shipper from oppression and arrogance and In justice; lt ha? prevented unreasonable advances in rates; but lt has secured comparatively few notable reductions In rates, except those Involved In .topping discrimination between per son?, places or articles. It has been powerless to reduce operating costs, end greater reductions in raies can oom? only with reductions in the cost cf producing transportation. The in justice and corruption attending the earlier railroad period were extremely serious. But we must not forget that the sweeping reductions in American operating costs and rates belong to the earlier period of competition among railroads. In the ten years frum 1889 to 1899, while competition am >ng the railroads was active, the freight rato per ton per mlle was gradually re duo?d from .941 to .724. Tho years 1899-1900 marked thc great movement for combination or "community of In terest" In the railroad world as well .? In the industrial world. The freight rate per ton per mile began to rise. In each of the sloven succeeding years it was higher than in 1899, and in 1910 lt wa? .763. "The deadening effect of monopoly ls illustrated by its arrest of inven tion. The ?hoe machinery trust, form ed In 1899, resulted in combining, di rectly and Indirectly, more than 100 .hoe machinery concerna. It acquired substantially a monopoly of all the es sential machinery used in bottoming boots and ?hoes, aa well as many oth er machines. It boliovcd itself unas sailable, aud shoe manufacturers had come to regard their subjection to the tm?t as unavoidable. Neverthelo??, in 1910 the trust found lt? prestige sud dealy threatened and lt? hugo profit? Imperiled, lt wa? confronted with a competitor ?o formidable that the trust. In flagrant violation of law, paid $5,000,000 to buy bim out. Thomas G.

He at tended Hie village school and saved tho pennies and dimes he earned selling papers and blacking shoes. That he worked and saved Industri ously is evidenced by the fact that by the time he was 16 years old he had accumulated a sum sulllclent to buy a home for lils mother. Mr. Anderson was twice elected mayor of Fremont, was president of the board of trade, president of the city hospital board and a director of several manufacturing industries, and prominent in numerous frater nal societies.

" OVERCOME BY FOUL GASES. Negro lliul Reen in Acid Chamber ltuking Up tho Refuse. (Anderson Mail, 3d.) Mose Sin.ms, a negro employed at the Anderson Phosphate and Oil Company's works, died last Thurs day under unusual circumstances, and subsequent Inquiry developed in formation that his death was caused by poisonous gases. Simms was sent into one of the acid chambers, whloh had been filled with deadly gases and acids, to rake the muck which was on the door. He had been within the chamber only a short while when he became sick and nauseated and had to leave for his home. Ho managed to walk unas sisted to his steps, where he fell into the arms of lils wife with the cry that he was dying. A physician was hurriedly called and found the negro in convulsions, bloody froth oozing from his mouth and nostrils and in a short while Simms died. It ls the opinion of Dr. Thompson that the negro's death was caused by edema or congestion of the lungs, and heart failure caused by the conges lon, which directly result ed from the inhalation of deadly gases. The management of the Anderson Phosphate and Oil Company secured Leon L. Rice to make an Investiga tion of Hie facts and ascertain whe ther the negro's death was caused by carelessness on the part of the de ceased or others. There are no facts which give rise to a suspicion of foul play. Another negro wa? partially overcome at the same time. TO RF PERFECT PHYSICALLY.

Humorist mid Dramatist Gives FI rsi Ado to Reporter. Hearing that George Ade, the hu morist, was In Paris, a reporter sought h jim out, intending to wring from hini the secret of universal gay? ely, says an exchange, lt was late in the afternoon, but the author of "Fabels in Slang" was still lagging in a hotel parlor rubbing his eyes. "I havo been asleep," he explain ed, "lt Is one of the funny things of Paris that there is nothing to do in the afternoons except sleep or go to picture galleries, which is much the samo thing." "Please, Mr. Ado," begged tho re porter, "whisper to me the secret of the gayety of Paris, so it can be printed in tho paper." "The gayety of Paris!" mocked the humorist, twisting his mouth Chlcagowise. "lt does not exist. It is all stage managed for tho benefit of tourists." "But tho tourists are gay," sug gested the correspondent. "Gay nothing. I've seen the tour ists. They hustle, baggage laden, into a hotel at midnight, hurry out before breakfast, buy a bunch of pic ture postals and pass the rest of the day addressing cards to envious friends, back in Kankakee, from a list as long aB a city pay roll. Then they rush madly on to tho next burg, buy more postals and beat deeper the dent of envy in the Kankakee co teries. Tourists are of two kinds; they are either hopelessly stupid or hopelessly smart. But I must not be too hard on my fellow Americans. We at least travel with the Intention of Improving ourselves, which is more than many nations do. More over, we no longer over-run Europe, writing the date and our best girl's initials on famous monuments, as we did twenty years ago. "Wo always must remember one thing," expounded tho humorist, punching a. linger in his fist like a philosopher. "Take a fish out of wa ter and lt can only do a silly fllppity flap. Take John Smith, of Main street, and put him on the Boulevard Montmartre and he is little better than a lunatic. The same applies when you put Johnny Crapud on Main street. Moral: Every Billy Butts His Best in His Own Baili wick." "But, Mr. Ade," persisted the re porter, "why do tho American amusement kings como to Paris to get shows If Paris Is not amusing?" "Not one French show in twenty succeeds in America," retorted the humorist. "I went to a French vaude ville last night and there wasn't one laugh from the rising of the curtain to the tipping in the coat room. My theatrical successes aro always great est when 1 stick to the hom? atmos phere of the back yard and the cor ner drug store." "But, Mr. Ade, why are you In Paris if lt is not amusing?" "Pecaure." glared the humorist, "T ha-.e just attended two political cota? vent i od ? jind had to go .somewhere, i Nvh.v I t'cp ar. -lng quentlon.'.V" ' ''Boraueo I wain td know the an ?

"It Is interesting." corrected the humorist. "Now I must go and get the shirts I ordered yesterday." "Are the shirts gay. Mr. Ade?" "You bet," blurted the humorist, this time with real enthusiasm. "Then you would say, if you want to be gay in this lire be a shirt?" "Decidedly." "And ?;o on," Inquired the re porter. "Now come off." Whereupon Mr. Ade, with a majestic wave of his hand, indicated that this non-fabu lous fable of the faithful reporter and the candid humorist had ended.

Figures are interesting always, though they may not always result as they are made to appear from their use. Through the kindness of Hov. H. B. Browne we had tho privilege of looking over the forecast section of the Sunday edition of the New York Herald, In which are given the fig ures of a poll taken by the Herald to show the drift of tho vote In thc national campaign now in progress Tor President of the United States. Out of a total of 24,896 voters Wilson received 11,164, Roosevelt 7,147, Taft 1,784, and Debs 1,800. The vote was taken in eleven States. Out of this number Wilson ran ahead In nine, Roosevelt, two, and Taft was third In all but his own State of Ohio and Wyoming, In which he came second, Wilson being first. Tlie Herald has figured out that out of tho more than 2 4,000 votes polled, tho Republican loss from 1908 is 5,997, whilo the Democratic gain over 1908 is 2,254. And that, should tho ratio shown in the voting contest continue, it would Indicate that Wil son would carry moro States than were ever before carried by a Presi dential candidate. The returns from tho canvass Indicate further that the Republican party is split wide open, while tho Democrats arc united In all sections. lt is to bo hoped that the forecast above may prove a correct index of what tho election will bo in Novem ber, and that Woodrow Wilson will have a groat victory.

Farinera Should He Careful About Buying Seed-Methods. Clemson Collego, Oct. 1.-Special: The fungus boll rot of cotton, cotton nnthracnoso, seems to bo especially prevalent in this State this season. A great many cases have been report ed whero tho disease is occurring within certain new varieties of cot ton purchased from seed dealers and growers. We have learned from our investi gations here that anthracnose is car ried in the seed and, from a study ot the outbreaks In the State, have found that the majority of outbreaks reported have been caused by plant ing diseased seed. A number of new varieties of cot ton grown in thls State this season for the first time are badly diseased. In fact lt seems that we get the ma jority of our outbreaks of anthrac nose from seed purchased from other States and especially from Georgia. ! One of theso varieties, called tho I "half and half", seems to bo diseased this season wherever grown. Wo ex perience the same thing every year. Last year and tho year before, Brown's No. 1 was affected in the same way. One gentleman from Geor gia writes me that he sold seod to be tween five and six hundred farmers in this State last winter and spring. We have some of this same gentle man's cotton growing on the experi ment station farm this season and it all the cotton grown from the seed is IIB badly disoascd as that planted here, the distribution and sale of this seed is going to cost South Carolina farmers many thousands of dollars. I received a letter recently from a gentleman, who writes aB follows re garding the same variety of cotton: "I have nine acres of it planted, and after careful inspection bv tb rp? disinteix}8t
