? Secretary Bryan has requested
congress to appropriate (100,000 to
help get Indigent Americans out of
Mexico; but denies that the request
indicates any intention of American intervention.
? Washington, August 4: President
Wilson today took the drat ate pa in
the policy through which he proposes
to deal with the Mexican situation.
He formally accepted the resignation
of Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson,
to take effect October 14 and sent to
Mexico City as his personal representative,
but not accredited to the Huerta
government, former Governor John
LJnd of Minnesota, a life-long friend
of Secretary Bryan. The understanding
is that when a stable government
Is established in Mexico, Mr. LJnd
will be formally named as ambassador.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan had frequent conferences during
the day; Ambassador Wilson had
a long talk with Mr. Bryan, and Chairman
Bacon, of the senate foreign relations
committee, discussed the situation
with the president at the White
House. But for the announcement of
Mr. Lind's mission, no explanation of
the policy to be pursued by the American
government was forthcoming.
? The New York Sun of last Friday,
said: "The bankers nere insist mm
all the indications from the west and
south, at the present time, are that
there are no unusual calls for money.
Reports from these sections of the
country, they said, indicate that financial
arrangements for the movement
of the crops were going on
quietly and smoothly and that the
banks in the country were fairly well
supplied with money." When Senator
Tillman's attention was called to the
statement made by the New York
bankers that they were extending the
usual commercial accommodations to
the southern bankers at this time, he
said: "I am speaking not only from
personal knowledge. ^>ut upon information
given me at first hand by the
leading bankers of South Carolina,
when I say that the New York bankers
have been withholding the usual
accommodations; that they are calling
loans from the southern bankers
and are refusing to make new loans.
The situation is not the usual one,
for recently many of the South Carolina
bankers have complained to me
that they could not get money from
the New York banks on any sort of
collateral."
? The $50,000,000 of government
funds about to be loaned, will be
placed In the banks In the large cities
of the agricultural regions of the
south and west upon the condition and
expectation, said the treasury officials
last Saturday, that these large banks
will distribute the money to the country
banks at reasonable rates of interest.
While the treasury department
will not attempt to fix the rate
of Interest, for It has no such power,
it will insist upon equitable treatment
so that the money will be available
for the marketing and moving of
crops at reasonable rates. Assistant
Secretary Williams said It was necessary
for the government to place the
money in the large channels because;
it would be Impracticable to pass upon
the quality of commercial paper as
security If the deposits were scattered
Indiscriminately among a great
number of country banks. While
the treasury department will stipulate
* Ji
that the money must oe niurneu
after the crops have been moved and
will fix dates for its gradual flow
back to the government, the conditions,
it is said, will not be hard and
fast and will be changed if unforeseen
circumstances Indicate that the banks
should have more time to make the
payments. New Orlean^ and Atlanta,
Ga.. banks will be among those
to receive a substantial share of the
$50,000,000 for distribution in the
south.
? Atlanta, August 4: James Conley
today testified that he helped Leo M.
Frank dispose of Mary Phagan's body
after she had been killed by Frank'.
He declared that on several occasions
he stood guard for Frank when the
latter was closeted in his office with
women. Frank, according to the negro,
was accustomed to stamp on the
floor when he desired Conley to keep
guard. He testified that Mary Phagan
went to the office of Frank at noon
on the the day of her disappearance.
Shortly thereafter, he testified, Frank
stamped on the floor and the negro
took his post. A short time thereafter,
he testified he was summoned by
Frank, who was apparently mucn agitated.
He said the girl resisted him
and he "hit her too hard." Conley
described two alleged incidents leading
him to the conclusion that Frank
was a degenerate. On these two occasions
the negro said he unexpectedly
encountered Frank with a woman.
Conley said that after he was summoned
by the superintendent he went
to the machine room where he found
the body. He put the body in a gunny
sack and. with the assistance of
Frank, took it to the basement in the
elevator, Conley swore. Frank, according
to the witness, had him write
the two notes found near the body
and gave him $200. He said Frank
told him to put the body in tne iurnace.
? President Wilson on Saturday
withdrew the nomination of Adam E.
Patterson, of Oklahoma, a negro, to be
register of the treasury. Patterson declined
the appointment and the president
nominated Instead Gabe E. Parker,
of Oklahoma, a Choctaw Indian,
recommended by both senators from
Oklahoma and the congressional delegation
from that state. In his letter to
President Wilson, Patterson says: "In
view of recent developments caused by
my name having been submitted to
the United States senate for confirmation
as register of the treasury I beg
to request that you withdraw my nomination
for that position. I consider
that you have paid me a high tribute
and an honor well worth cherishing in
appointing me register of the United
States treasury for which I heartily
thank you. I had hoped that the nomination
and confirmation would be
made without protest. This hope, it
seems, was unfounded. "I feel like our
folt nrkan Via vvn u
0 cl V IUU1 lliuot liavc ivit nttvi! ..V *.
handed the bitter cup?it meant life
and death. Yet I take it and cheerily
stifle my personal ambition and surrender
back to you. Mr. President, the
appointment a3 register of the United
States treasury, the prize for which I
have striven all my life. I refuse to
embarrass your admiinstration, Mr.
President by insisting upon my confirmation,
and I also believe it is best
for my race that I withdraw my name
from further consideration for that position.
I am anxious that the spirit of
harmony and good will exist between
the two races and my taking this step
1 believe will go far toward bringing
about a more friendly racial feeling."
Patterson worked in the Democratic
national headquarters during the last
presidential campaign, in the colored
/nen's bureau, and was recommended
by National Committeeman Hudspeth,
of New Jersey. Opposition in the senate
from southern senators brought
about the withdrawal of Patterson's
name.
? Frank B. Hayne, of New Orleans,
the noted cotton speculator, was in
Spartanburg last Saturday night, stopping
over on his way to his summer
' " - V n lift j^lnpA/4

in an Interview that if the amendment
of Senator Clark, of Arkansas, to the
tariff bill, placing a tax of one-tenth of
one cent a bale on cotton futures
should lie enacted into law it would
mean a loss of millions of dollars to
the farmers of the south. It would
absolutely destroy the exchanges dealing
in cotton futures, he aserted. "The
farmers would have to deal with the
mills direct or through their Jobbers,"
said Mr. Hayne. "They would have to
hold their cotton until the mills desired
it for consumption. As it is now
they can sell It immediately at a profit."
Mr. Hayne said it was surprising
to him that cotton should have been
selected as the one commodity in which
speculation should be forbidden. If
Senator Clark wishes to put it on the
high mornl plan that speculation is
gambling," said Mr. Hayne, "and
should be suppressed, why not suppress
speculation in corn, wheat, oats
and the other staple crops? If it is for
the benefit of the planter or buyer and
will help them, do you not think that
Federal aid should be extended to he I
producers and consumers of , other
commodities? It looked thaj way to
me." Mr. Hayne said that he Was a
member of both the New York and
New Orleans cotton exchanges and he
thought they should be placed under
Federal regulation, but he did not
think the head should be cut from the
body because of a segregated cancerous
sore. That there are speculative
evils to be remedied in the exchanges
he admitted, but he said the evi.'s
should be corrected by a Federal commission.
Speaking of the announcement
of Secretary McAdoo, of the
treasury department, that he will place
between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000 of
I ?In notinnol hanlffl
I guv ei mucin miiua m tuc imwviw*
of the south and west to help move the
crops, Mr. Hayne said: "I consider
that the action of Mr. McAdoo came at
a most momentous time and will do
much to relieve the money stringency
In the south. Too long has the south
been ground down under the irksome
yoke of the Wall street banker, and 1
think the action of the secretary of the
treasury will restore confidence and
enable the southern banker to break
away from the thralldom under which
he has so long been held. Possibly Mr.
McAdoo has gone too far In recognizing
prime commercial paper, but that
will of course, have to be passed upon
by the local clearing house associations
and then finally by the treasury
department, and the government
stands in no danger of loss."

YORKVILLE, 8. 0.1
TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1913. :
The discovery of a new process for
the reduction of phosphate rock by
means of electric furnaces and without
r\f .iilnhiirlo at>ld has, hppn an
nounced. The process in part Is the
heating' of the rock Into a molten masa
and extracting the pure phosphoric
acid from the resulting gas. The new
discovery is said to ensure much
cheaper production than was possible
under the old system of reduction by>
means of sulphuric acid.
It Is practically certain thut the Hon.
John L. McLaurin will be a candidate,
for governor, but the Advertiser predicts
that he will not be elected. The;
people are not as easily deceived now
as they were in the nineties.?Edgefield
Advertiser.
/ If it be a fact that the people are not
as easily deceived now -as they were
in the nineties, then we would take
this to mean that in the event 'of his
candidacy the election of Hon. John L.
McLaurin would be rather more certain.
The government has been furnishing
the money for moving the crops for
years and years; but heretofore the
noati hoo hcan rlannalfpil in Mptt' Vnrk
banks and the users of the money had
to pay enough interest to satisfy both
the southern banks and the northern
banks. Of the 8 per ceQt paid to the
southern banks, the northern banks
got about 5 per cent. As to whether
the actual users of the money the government
proposes to put in southern
hanks will have to pay less interest
cannot be predicted; but anyhow
it will be better for the southern people
to pay interest to northern banks
than southern banks.
Henry of Texas, and Ragsdale of
South Carolina, Insurgents though they
be, are fighting for the right. Why
should not cotton be a better basis of
currency circulation than steel stock?
i Steel stock Is based on steel rails, and
| if there was no cotton to haul, steel
rails would have no value. The Justice
of throwing Into the lap of the
owners of steel stock values created by
the cotton producer, while the cotton
producer Is not given any means of
protecting his product does not appeal
to us. We are willing to concede to
the steel stock owner all that we are
claiming for the cotton producer, but
we do not want to give him any more.
Henry and Ragsdale may work themselves
into bad odor with the party as
they no doubt will; but nevertheless
they are right.
Mr. W. W. Ball has succeeded to the
editorship of the Columbia State. He
has had considerable experience on the
South Carolina press, and is a newspaper
man of considerable ability.
While we feel quite sure that the State
wi!l not suffer any under his direction.
In view of the ownership of the property,
it is hardly probable that there
will be any change of policy. We give
that opinion, not so much because we
| consider it any of our business, as for
what it may be worth as information.
The State is like The Enquirer and
The Enquirer is like the State in that
both attend to their own affairs in
their own way. The management of
the State has done a sensible thing in
the selection of Mr. Bali for the editorship.
?
We are not going to undertake to
dispute the law with such a learned
expounder thereof, as Judge Earnest
Gary; but his honor's refusal to allow
Mrs. Zachry to give bond for the possession
of her children until the South
Carolina supreme court could hear the
merits of the question at issue, strikes
us as a curious proposition. It Is easy
enough to understand how when the
r*^/\t>nrin n/Mir?a nhllrl VP n In
question to the father, the comity of
states requires this state to recognize
the Georgia courts; but at the same
time we fail to grasp how an inferior
court in this state can deny the constitutional
right of appeal to the supreme
court, and when Judge Gary
says that to have allowed the mother
to give bond for the children under the
circumstances would have been to defeat
the principles of habeas corpus,
we are rather driven to the conclusion
that his action seems to suspend this
inviolable writ. As to what the actual
merits of this particular case are
we have no notion. The father may be
properly entitled to the children in
question, and he may not be; but both
sides are entitled to due process of
law, and we are unable to see the end
of such a process this side of the state
supreme court, if indeed the end lies
this side of the United States supreme
court, provided either side should see
proper to take it there.
Frank B. Ha.vne, the well-known
New Orleans cotton operator passed
through Spartanburg. Saturday on his
way to his summer home at Flat Rock,
near Hendersonville, and in an interview
with the Spartunburg Herald said
that the proposed tax of $50 on each
cotton contract would coat the south
millions of dollars a year. Mr. Hayne
Vent on to aay that currency reform
had been needed for fifty years, and
that he sincerely hoped that something
would be done. Mr. Hayne is the man
who worked the famous cotton corner
for which gully got the credit some
vears ago, and who has done more to
bull prices than any other one man in
the history of the trade. He ia a southerner
and a friend of the south, an<Fls
now under indictment because or nis
last big successful bull operation. We
have a lot of confidence in Mr. Hayne.
and we feel that the southern people
can well afford to accept his opinion
on the probable eiTect of that proposed
$50 tax as the judgment of one of the
best Informed men of the day who is a
sincere friend of the south. It was Mr.
Hayne, by the way, who upon attempting
his first great cotton corner, foresaw
the necessity of making financial
arrangements in Europe so as to forestall
subsequent efforts of New York
finam :ers to smash him by tightening
up the money market.
While the Washington special to the
Columbia State to the effect that Senator
Tillman has endorsed Senator McLaurin's
warehouse idea, and that
Senator Smith claims to have been
wanting something of that kind a!l
along, is a little surprising. It Is none
the less gratifying. The Enquirer does
not claim any credit in connection!
with the originality of this proposition
but as is well known we have favored
it since it was first proposed by Senator
McLaurln. We make no pretense
to expert knowledge in this regard;
but we have unlimited confidence in
the knowledge, experience and integrity
of Senator McLaurln, the man who
had the courage to present the proposition
in the shape of a bill, and who
has been so generously expending his
time, efforts and money to further his
splendid ideas in this regard. It wil!
be remembered that both Governor
Blease and Judge Jones endorsed this
warehouse proposition last summer,
and now since this last development it
would seem to us that If the general
assembly Is not willing to enact the
bill, into law at its next session, it will
be about time that people commence
hunting some new leaders, in whom
they may repose real confidence. As
wo hnvn anM more than once before we
can see more promise of good to the
south In this state warehouse idea,
than in any proposition that has been
submitted to the present- generation.
We believe that the idea has within it
the possibility of transferring to the
south the financial domination of these
United States, if not of the world, and
such really intelligent opposition as
there may be to the plan comes from
those whose interests will suffer by
the bringing about of such a condition.
The South and the Currency.
lihe associated press dispatches of]
the past few days tell of the purpose
of Secretary McAdoo to deposit $60,000,000
of government funds in southern
banks for the purpose of moving
the cotton crop.
The secretary is being moved by the
fact that although the banks in the
great money centres have a plethora of
currency, they are not inclined to let
it loose on any kind of security, and
the south is" threatened with a currency
famine.
Of course It may be readily understood
that the principal effect of a currency
famine at the season when the
crops are to be moved l? to make a little
currency go a long ways and consequently
depress prices. As a matter
of fact although southern people generally
are only Just beginning to understand
this game, it has been in use
for manv vears. and time and time
again have prices been fprced down by
temporary contraction of the currency.
The Idea, of course, is to make
southern producers sell cheap, and after
the transfer of their holdings to
northern purchasers, the volume of
currency would be expanded again,
prices would go up and the then holder
of the cotton would get the benefit
of a long margin that really belonged
to the producer.
Although there may be those who
would think that during the uncertain
ty of the pending currency bill, manipulators
would be inclined to be on
their good behavior, such as think this
way are mistaken. Times like the
present are particularly favorable for
operations of the experienced manipulators
who are well up on their game.
This move of Secretary McAdoo for
the deposit of government funds in
southern banks is wise, sensible and
just; but anybody ought to be able to
understand that such a thing would
not be contemplated for a moment by
other than a Democratic administration.
The reason is plain. The Republican
party has its strength In the
north and the Democratic party has its
strength in the south. Each party is
naturally inclined to favor its own
supporters, and surely no one would
expect the Republican party to try to
protect the people of the south against
the unfairness of the people of the
north.
If the Republicans were in power at
the present time, they would of course,
further any movement on the part of
their own supporters to squeeze the
cotton producers for their own benefit.
In a like manner it is nothing but the
plain duty of the Democratic party to
put every possible obstacle in the way
of such rank injustice and outrage.
But thinking people who have an in
telligent conception of the situation
described, cannot be expected to be
satisfied with such conditions. It ougnt
not to be possible for cotton producers
to be robbed by an expedient liKe this,
and it is simply intolerable that the
producing interests of the country, are
subject to the manipulation of such
schemers. It should not be so that
honest labor haB to fear the piracy of
one political party or court the protection
of another, and as we see It
there is only one remedy.
If the people of the south could
agree upon a state warehouse proposition,
such as passed the legislature
winter before last, and which was killed
by the supreme court or on such a
bill as is now pending in the senate,
they would have a Bure means of protection
in their own hands, regardless
of either of the great parties. They
would be able to go direct to the
money centres of Europe for all the
money they might need, and they could
thus force the money centres of this
country to quit their shylocking so far
as cotton is concerned, and with cotton
standing on its merits in the financial
world, the south would surely come to
its own.
But we do not want to be understood
as expressing any dissatisfaction
with Secretary McAdoo's proposed
expedient. As we see and understand
the situation. Secretary McAdoo is doing
the best thing possible under the
circumstances. This proposed experiment
can only be of temporary effect
to be sure; but it is very well calculated
to hold down the situation until
the southern people whose Interests
are at stake, can be properly aroused.

Mr. W. F. Caldwell, who represented
the News and Courier at Filbert, estimated
the crowd at 7,500 and we believe
he Is nearer right than those who
out the figures at 5,000 or lower.
There should be a trolley line between
Yorkvllle and Rock Hill. Of
course there are more or less weighty
objections to be urged against the
idea; but it would pay. The passenger
and freight traffic to and from the two
towns and originating between them,
would be ample to sustain such an enterprise.
The Palmetto Monument Wor(cs is
doing quite a lot of work all through-;
out this whole territory. Under the
sole ownership and management of Mr.
Sassl, the establishment is doing a
more extensive business than it has
ever done, and it is having no complaints
as to the quality of the work
being turned out.
Mr. F. E. Clinton, of Eastview, says
that If the now comparatively useless
bottoms on Pishing creek, south of the
lower Rock Hill and Yorkville road
were properly drained, they would be
capable of producing enough com to
supply any two townships in the county.
These bottoms extend for miles
and miles, and are serving no purpose
other than the pasturing of a few head
of cattle. They are as rich as cream,
and It looks as if something Bhould be
done to bring them into profitable cultivation.
The managers of the Filbert picnic
are entitled to a vote of thanks from
the newspapers of South Carolina, and
The Enquirer is going to take the liberty
of proposing the same. While as
a general thing the managers of picnics
are as glad to have the newspaper
men as the newspaper men are to
be there, it is a common omission on
the part of the picnic arrangement
committee to omit all provision for the
accommodation of the men who have
; to take notes of the proceeding. This
omission to be sure, Is invariably 4 1
matter of oversight. The writer has
never failed to get accommodations after
asking for them; but sometimes
the people who were asked found It
awkward to provide a table and chair
on short notice. The Filbert committee
set aside a part of its big rostrum for
the especial accommodation of the
newspaper writers, who were amply
provided with tables and chairs. There
were seven newspaper correspondents
present, and there were writing accommodations
for more. We have voted
aye on the motion, and so far as we
are concerned It Is carried.
There was one decidedly unusual
feature In connection with the capture
of that negro, Rob Johnson at Hickory,
the other day. and that unusual feature
is embodied in the fact that the capture
was made by negroes. While of
course there are exceptions to all rules,
practically all public officials in this
section, who have to deal with criminals,
agree on the small dependence to
be placed upon a negro when It comes
to running down a negro criminal. It
is a peculiarity of the race that they
will not assist In the enforcement of
the white man's law, and It has often
happened In the case of a shooting or
cutting scrape In the midst of a hundred
negroes, not one of the witnesses
will admit knowing a thing bearing
upon the merLts of the difficulty. And
It Is rare that even the most skillful
cross examination will develop a satisfactory
Idea of the truth. Of course
the negroes do not understand; but
this policy or tendency is very prejui
dlcial to their own welfare and they
should get out of It. The conduct of
the two Hickory Grove negroes, whose
exploit of last week has already been
recited In detail, Is highly oommendable,
and It la sincerely to be hoped
that they have set the pace for better
things In thlH connection.

BLEASE AT FILBERT
In the hurry of getting out The En
quirer jb*h rnuay auerpuon ueiore an
the big crowd had gotten off the
grounds, our report wai necessarily Incomplete
In several particulars, and It
Is worth while to repeat a little more
fully what the governor said about the
different speaker*.
As already reported, he made |t clear
that so far as his friends were concerned,
the race was a free for all, and
that he did not intend to try to influence
the peop'e In the matter. He said
he would attempt no dictation under
any circumstances, but of course It
was understood that he was not going
to favor anybody who did not favor
him.
Of Mr. McLaurln he said: He Is able
and patriotic and had made a good
United States senator; but had been
badly treated by scurrilous politicians. ,
He, however, was not there to defend
Senator McLaurln, who was fully able
to fight his own way. Otherwise he
would deserve no consideration. The
governor said that " Mr. Rembert had
been Mi friend thfbufh thick and thin
and was still his friend. Of Mr. Richards,
the governor said that while he
did not come out openly he had been
fair, and he knew it to be a fact that
wherever opportunity offered, Mr.
Richards contradicted such lies as
were told on him (the governor). In his
Rlchards's presence. "And here is
Charlie Smith. He and I get along all
right and you must be good to htm.
because If you are not good to him,
and I should die he would be your gov
ernor and you could not expect him to
be Rood to you." Of M. L. Smith, the
governor said jthe house Journals
would show how close they had always
been together. He said that Judge
Watts and Mr. Sims had both been his
friends all along, and were still his
friends as he was their friend.
Although it Is a fact that the governor
said that if the people did not
elect the right kind of a governor; that
"between the primary and the time I
go out of office to take my seat in the
United States senate I will turn out so
many people that my successor will
have devilish little to do," it was said
in a spirit of levity, and was so received
by the crowd.

? Miss Maggie Moore, as postmaster,,
Is asking the owners of comer lots of
as much as 120 feet frontage, for
prices at which they will sell the government

It is the general hope that this means
a public building at an early day, this
Is not necessarily the fact. About the
best than can be said is that the situation
Is rather more hopeful.
? There has been a rumor afloat for
the past several days to the effect that
the York county court house bonds
had been sold. A representative of The
Enquirer approached Hon. J. S. Brlce,
chairman of the court house commission,
on the subject yesterday, and Mr.
Brlce said that while the commission
was still negotiating with several parties
relative to selling the bonds, the
would-be purchasers had not yet said
either "aye" or "nay."
? The "A. R. P. vs. the Town" ba&c->
ball games have begun at last. The
first game of tne series was piayea on
/he Graded school grounds yesterday
afternoon and resulted In a victory for
the Seceders, 6 to 3. The play yesterday
was a verj' fair exhibition of the
national game, and the outlook Is that
the game this afternoon will be more
hotly contested than that of yester-.
day. Four hits were secured off Gaulden,
the A. R. P. twlrler, and seven
off Logan, for the town. Batteries:
Gaulden and Nichols; Logan and AI-!
lein. Umpire, B. P. Barron. Marshall

CULTIVATING TERRACE8.
Although the agricultural terrace is
??!rt?Utfnlli? aahaa/1a(1 Ko a wamr mofa.
I 151111 u 11 j v-unucucu IV/ uc a ?c? j
rial Improvement over the ditch for
which it has been generally substituted,
it does not mean anything like
perfection, but on the contrary continues
to involve problems that seem
a long way from solution.
It has been hardly twenty-flve years
since the terrace began to take the
place of the hillside ditch In this county;
but now the hillside ditch has almost
entirely disappeared, and with
but few exceptions every farm that is
at all rolling, is provided with a more
or less effective system of terraces.
But the terrace has its drawbacks,
even when perfectly laid off and properly
kept up. Of course If Is laid off
Improperly It is of no value under any
circumstances. But there Is another
drawback. As a rule the terrace becomes
a harbor for grass and weeds,
and the grass and weeds being generally
assumed to act as further protection
against breaking over on occasions
of high water, are left to themselves,
with the result that they spread
over the land on either side, look ugly
and refider useless much soil surface
that would otherwise be valuable.
Different people have treated the
terrace problem In different ways, and
some think they have found a solution
in deep plowing. It is a fact that there
are a number of farmers in the county
who have plowed over and leveled
their terraces, and who depend upon
the expedient of breaking the soil to a
depth of eight or ten inches or deeper,
if possible. Their idea Is to put the
ground In such condition that it will
absorb enough of any rainfall, however
heavy, to prevent washing, and it
is yet to be demonstrated that this Is
not the best thing to do. The Enquirer,
however, has gotten some interesting
facts on this subject from Mr. C.
H. Smith, who is the carrier on YorKville
R. F. D. No. 4, and who in addition
to carrying the mail, does a lot of
thinking and planning for his boys,
who do the actual work on his farm.
"I work my terraces," said Mr.
Smith, in discussing the matter, "work
them every year. You see, it is this
way," he continued. "Go into almost
any terraced field, and you will find
that the rows of cotton or corn on
either side of the terrace are the poorest
rows there. I noticed this years
ago, and decided that It must be because
of the close proximity of the
grass and weeds. The first experiment
I made to test the idea, was when I
sowed small grain, either wheat or
oats, to sow the terraces also. It worked
fine and then after awhile I decided
that it would not be much loss, to say
the least of it, if I should plant cotton
and corn along the terraces also. I
tried it. I put one row of cotton on
top and one on either side, and worked
the terrace as carefully as the balance
of the Held. Of course I was
careful to keep the terraces well built
up. Well the very first year the three
rows of cotton along the terraces, instead
of being the worst, were the best
in the whole field. I tried it next with
corn, putting a row on the top of the
terrace, and the result was the same;
I have been following this plan ever
since and it has worked splendidly.
wnere 1 was iormeriy Kcaing nu uuiton
or corn to speak of along the terraces,
now my best growth Is there,
and the balance of the crop Is just as
good as It was before."

TILLMAN HIT8 BACK
_
South Carolina 8anator Claims to Understand
Situation.
On last Friday a Brooklyn man undertook
a fall with Senator Tillman on
account of some of the senator's utter,
ances. That the senator replied, goes
as a matter of course. He gave the
correspondence out to the press as
follows:
Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug 1, ltlJ.
Hon. B. R. Tillman.
Bear Sir: If you would only get
I n otinn a a tn tho nnn Hltlnn
DU1UO IIUUl Itittiiv/It CM* vw u?o wiiuiwwu ;
of the money market of the world,
which almost any office boy In any
banking house in Washington can
give you, you would never make the
remarks you are credited as having
made against the banks of New York
city. It only hurts the Democratic
party and makes the average voter
ashamed to see those in the senate
so little informed. New York city can
stand almost all the stuff uttered in'
the senate by those that do not seem
to know what they are talking about..
I suppose New York city is respon-,
sible for crop failures, floods, etc. If
Secretary McAdoo can not prove the
charges he has made, he should be
tarred and feathered and driven out
of Washington. I fear he is indulging
too freely in grape juice to do this
country much good. I am a Democrat
and ashamed of Henry and others who
introduced resolutions for political effect,
being the means of making
trouble, but I never expect my party
to be in power again for the next 20
years to coipe. It was our Republican
opponents that elected Wilson,
and they, like all conservative Democrats,
have got their All.
Very respect etc.,

My Dear Sir: I have your letter of
August, 1, and I am really surprised
that you should be so insolent to a
stranger. I am not the cross ignoramus
you think me to be. Tou New
Torkers are the most egotistical asses
I have ever seen or heard of. Tou
think the sun, moon and stars revolve
around New Tork and you alone
are entitled to any consideration. Tou
forget that the farmers of the
United States . grow the great crop*
which have produced the commerce
which makes New Yoj-k the imperial
city it is. Tou also know, or you can
And out if you do not know, that the
Republican party, ever since the warj
has systematically robbed the people)
to enrich the favored classes; and that
New Tork city itself, through Wall
street manipulations and favoritism
to national banks, has, grown fat and
wealthy at the expense of the soutli
and west
Tou flippantly say: "I suppose New
Tork city is responsible for crop failure,
floods, etc." Of course, New
Tork city is not responsible for crop
failure or floods, but New Tork city
Is on the watch to take advantage
of everything that occurs to depress
the price of farm products when it
is to her advantage to buy them; and
manipulates the cotton market by
selling hundreds of millions of bales
of futures at prices below the cost of
production in order that the scoundrelly
brokers shall wax fat Nevi
Tork. under the Republicans, has
been the favored seat of the money
power. Her bankers have manipulated
and managed the United States
treasury In Washington. Millions and
millions of dollars of government
funds have been deposited there without
interest And when the panic of
1907 was manufactured?created as
It were?by J. Pierpont Morgan for
ft purpose and the business of the
country was paralyzed because of the
lack of money to do business with,
J. Pierpont Morgan got forty or flfty
millions of dollars by the treasury
depositing it with his banks, and
threw it into New York, ostensibly
as his own, lending it to men who
were threatened with bankruptcy.
You claim to be a Democrat. You
do not know the meaning of the word.
If you did, you would understand
that there are some men left in
Washington who do not think money
Is the only good in the world, and
who believe that the people have some
rights and want to preserve those
rights.
The Republican party has held the
government for the last 50 years and
made millionaires multiply by the
thousands while there were paupers
and hard working citizens living from
hand to mouth by the tons of millions
produced by reason of the unfair and
unjust laws which the Republican^
have passed.
Any subtile man knows this; and
you ought to have some of your
friends sue out a writ of lunacy and
commit you to an asylum for idlota
Tou are either crazy or a fool, I do
not know which.
I suppose the next thing you will
do as a patriot will be to vote against
President Wilson, if you get the opportunity.
God have mercy on your
soul!
Democratically yours.

Missionaries Warned to Quit Mexiee.
?It is reported in Washington op
what appears to be good authority,
that Secretary of State Bryan has sent
a telegram marked "confidential" to
Dr. F. Y. Pressley, secretary of the

message indicates that the state department
feels American missionaries
In Mexico are in peril.
Wyatt Aiken, representative In congress
from the third district of South
Carolina, wired the following this afternoon
to the Anderson Mall:
"The United States consul at San
Luis Potosi, Mexico, has notified the
foreign missionary headquarters of 1
the different churches in the United

that section that they had better make
provision to get the women and chil- j

8TATE WAREH0U8E IDEA
Tillman Endorses It, 8mitH Wants
Somsthing of the Kind.
Columbia State.
Washington, July 31.?Speaking
about the currency situation in the
south and the tightness of money
there, Senator Tillman said today? "I
heartily favor Congressman Ragsdale's
idea about trying to get into the proposed
currency bill an amendment to
have the government lend money direct
to the farmers or to the banks
with which they.t deal on warehouse
certificates on corn, wheat and cotton
stored In warehouses and ./uUy lnsured,
Jhfh banks to deposit their own
notes along jwith these certificates as
collateral. ' ^TI M
"I can see how a perfectly feaslbid
scheme to protect the government
from loss and obtain money for (he
farmers {to move their crops can be
worked out It wotfld save the south
untold loss by emancipating it from
slavery to New York financiers. I reel
certain, too, that if the idea contained
in the law which passed the South
Carolina legislature two years ago providing
for warehouses to store cotton
in, but which was declared unconstitutional
by thwistate supreme court
were re-enacted into law it would, under
a rational and safe management,
be of untold benefit to the people of
South Carolina. I hope sincerely that
the plan will not be given up entirely
and that a bill properly safeguarded
will be prepared and enacted into law
at the very next session of the legislature."
Senator E. D. Smith said: "Of
course I am in favor of the currency
plan now being advocated by Mr. Henry
of Texas, or something like it This
is no new thing. The farmers have
been advocating it for years. I made
speeches along this line before I came
to the senate. There is no reason why
a safe and practicable plan can not be
worked out.
"The assets of the farmers should be
as good for banking purposes as any
mercantile paper in use today. I will
never be satisfied until the farmers get
this, and I rejoice that the way seema
to be opening for them to get It"

of their Children. The home of the
Zachry's is near Augusta, Ga. They
were separated recently, and their two
children were awarded to Mr. Zachry.
Mrs. Zachry took the children and fled
to South Carolina, pending an appeal
to the Georgia supreme court She
went to Columbia and laid her oase
before Governor Blease. Governor
Blease promised her that he would
give her all the rights that were hers
under the law. Zachry came to Columbia,
Issued out a writ of habeas
corpus before Judge Ernest Gary, and
upon a hearing In Columbia last Friday,
Mrs. Zachry having produced the
children in court, presented the order
of the Georgia court giving him the
children. Judge Gary decided that the
Georgia order must be obeyed. Mrs.
Zachry's attorneys moved that they
be allowed to give bond and keep the
children in the possession of Mrs.
Zachry until the case could be appealed
to the South Carolina supreme
court. Judge Gary overruled the motion,

Augusta. Governor Blease was at the

until It was too late for him to take
effective action. On his return to Columbia,
however, he made requisition
