Scraps and facts.
A pistol duel between John Culbreth,
a prominent white farmer, and
Dallas Swampson. an Indian, near
Lumbertan, N. C. last Thursday, resulted
in the death of both, falling
mortally wounded at the hands of the
other, according to the verdict of the
coroner. According to eye witnesses, a
dispute arose between the two over
some cotton seed and the Indian began/
firing, whereupon Culbreth fired
upon his assailant, killing him but not
before he had received a wound from
which he died within a short time.
Culbreth is survived by his wife and
foul- children.
New York became the forty-fourth
state to ratify the federal prohibition
amendment when the senate by a vote
of 27 to 24 last Wednesday night concurred
in the McNfcb ratifying resolution
which was adopted by the assem
bly last week. The democratic delegation
of 22 voted as a unit against
ratification and was assisted by two
republicans, Henry M. Sage, of Albany,
and Charles C. Lockwood, of
Kings, both of whom had refused to
be bound by the action of a republican
caucus Monday night in making
the question a party measure. Adoption
of the resolution was accomplished
after eight hours and 20 minutes
of debate and bickering over parliamentary
technicalities.
? The British imperial war cabinet
has accepted President Wilson theory
of internationalization as applied to
the captured German colonies, notwithstanding
energetic protests from
the representatives of the dominions,
says The Dally Mall's Paris correspondent
"These protests," says the
correspondent "have been of the
. gravest character. The South African
representatives believe acceptance will
give the greatest encouragement to
the rebel element in South Africa
which it ever has received during British
administration. The Australian
delegates fear that Australian public
opinion will regard it as extremely unsatisfactory
and inexplicable-. The
n-anorQ 11V
dominion represeuwuxa BU. ,
though very reticent, are greatly perturbed."
Among the material abandoned by
the Germans in the region of Coblenz
were 35,000,000 rounds of small arm
ammunition. This was recently discovered
by the Americans during an
exploration of the underground storehouses
and tunnels where the German
munitions were kept. Of the vast
store 6,000,000 had been captured from
the French. The rest was manufactured
by the Germans, who took captured
British shells and loaded them
with German powder and bullets from
the French. Most of these cartridges
were boxed and addressed, in readiness
for shipment to various units in
Turkey. Rifles numbering 36,000, captured
from the British and found
stored in Coblenz, have been turned
over to their original owners, while
10,000 French rifles have been returned
to the French.
Ratification of the prohibition
amendment to the Federal constitution
'nrmoiiv Wednesday,
was pruuaimcu ?v.
by Frank L. Polk, acting secretary of
state- The proclamation is dated Wednesday,
but legal authorities of the department
say ratification was accomplished
when the thirty-sixth state acted
favorably on January 16, and that
under the terms of the amendment itself
prohibition becomes effective one
year from that date. The proclamation
was signed by Mr. Polk exactly at
11.20 a. m., In the presence of Senator
Sheppard of Texas, author of the resolution;
former Secretary Bryan, Representative
Charles H. Randall of California,
prohibitionist member of the
house, and officials of the Anti-Saloon
League of America, the Woman's
Christian Temperance union and other
anti-saloon organizations. Mr. Polk
used several pens in affixing his signature
and presented them to Senator
Sheppard, Mr. Bryan, Representative
Randall and others.
Lord Robert Cecil, the British authority
of a league of nations praise*
the Monroe doctrine in an interview
regarding the Interests of neutral
countries, especially Latin America, in
a league of nations. "Neutral countries
cannot, of course take part in
deliberations directly concerning war
problems," he said, "but so far as a
league of nations is concerned, if neu- *
nramrA a nractical plan

for submission to the conference, the
representations of the great powers
will be glad to consider it, although it
must be a plan containing concrete
issues and not theoretical solutions
drawn upon paper. The Monroe doctrine
has given satisfactory results in
practice which justifies its further application
as a model of operation. The
league of nations could appoint the
American nations themselves as the
mandatories for the execution of its
principles regarding territorial integrity
so far as these principles affect
American countries. In this matter
the United States and the Latin
American republics could act in conformity
with their policy already established.
? Early action on legislation to adwnr
nnntract controversies is urged
by the department of labor, in a statement
showing that the labor surplus
in many Industrial centers had increased
rapidly in the last ten days.
Plants heretofore engaged in war work
were said not to be changing back to
peace activities rapidly enough to hold
their proper proportion of labor. The
cancelling of war contracts with no
provision for an early financial adjustment
of the manufacturers' investment
in the war machinery, materials
and partially completed products was
blamed for plunging some concerns
into a state bordering on stagnation.
The department of labor's investigation
of ways and means to stimulate
building and improvements and augment
the absorption of labor in industry,
disclosed these two important
ways of getting results," the statement
says: "One Legislation enabling the
building and loan associations of the
country to use their estate mortgages
for collateral in a system of federal
homte loan banks. Two Legislation
and payment by thre government of
reasonable claims growing out of the
summary rescinding of war contracts.
Th*? former would permit home build
ers to avail themselves of almost two
billion dollars in loans; the latter
would provide most needed capital for
manufacturing."
Representative Heflin of Alabama
announced in the house Wednesday
that he had asked the department of
justice to investigate the New York
cotton exchange, which he charged had
violated the cotton future act "in driving
down the price of cotton from 37 to
24 cents a pound. "The south has been
robbed of millions of dollars by this unjust
speculation," Mr. Heflin declared.
"At a time when the world demand
for cotton is greater than ever before
the price has been forced down and
down. No one is being benefited, but
the gamblers themselves. The spinners
can not obtain cotton at the present
prices and the growers refuse to
sell." Mr. Heflin said governors of
southern states had appealed to planters
to hold their cotton unti lthe price
goes back to 30 cents a pound and
that at the close of the present session
of congress representatives from
the south expect to go through their
states to urge that cotton acreage be
decreased. "The demand for cotton
next year will be just as great as it
1 oa 1 Anor
Is at present." ne sxaieu, uui sv .v.^,
as the price is arbitraily controlled by
an exchange which defeats the laws
of supply and demand, there is no
reason why the crops should not be decreased."
Mr. Heflin said the New
York exchange should be abolished
and its activities taken over by the
New Orleans exchange or some other
exchange, located In the cotton belt.
To solve the problem of unemployed
discharged soldiers, the war department
has ordered that no man be
discharged from the army against his
desire until such time as he can obtain
employment in civil life. It has just
been announced that orders had been
telegraphed to all department and division
commanders at Secretary Baker's
division to retain all men who desire
to remain temporarily in the service
without prejudice to their subsequent
discharge to take employment.
The- order follows: "All commanding
officers will take steps to insure that
every enlisted man in their command
understands thoroughly that the war
department does not desire to discharge
any soldier who can not secure
civil employment. It will be
made clear to every soldier that where
he would normally be discharged un- i
der orders for demobilization, he may
remain temporarily In the military ,
service at his own written request until
such time as he can secure employment.
The fact that he requests to i
remain in the army temporarily does
not in any way operate to compel him
to remain in the arm;y for a long period
of time against his will. Any man
who would normally have been discharged
if he had not expressed his
desire in wrlttne to remain in the ser
vice, may thereafter be discharged
from the service at his own request,
whenever he thinks he may secure employment.
All such men as are retained
temporarily under the above authority
will be attached to the most
convenient unit and where their services
will be most useful."

There is a story that Marshal Foch 1
shed tears when the armist ice was
signed, because he had 550,000 Germans
in a trap from which he could '
have bagged the whole push.
And even New York has ranifled the 1
prohibition amendment; but of course '
she would never have done anything of 1
the kind unless she had realized that it 1
really made no difference, the thing
having already been accomplished
without her. 1
It is all right for Great Britain to
institute an open commercial fight 1
against the United States, if she wants
to. The United States has the power 1
to wipe Great Britain up along that
line. It is only a question of the business
capacity of our statesmanship.
Cotton went up 200 points last Tuesday
on the stroke of the pen that reduced
freight rates 75 per cent to
something like normal- Other strokes
of this and other official pens can as
easily put cotton up to the 35 or 40
cents a pound that it is and ought to
be worth.
But what good is the reduction of
ocean freight rates on cotton going to
do unless provision is made for the
carrying of cotton at those rates? Ship
owners like all others are out for profits
and they are not going to carry cotton
for $1.50 a hundred pounds when
they can get $4.50 a hundred pounds for
other freights no more bulky.
Secretary Daniels says that the development
of a merchant marine is
the most important question before
the people of the United States, and
Secretary Daniels is right. The United
States needs to put itself In a position
where it can carry all of its own commerce
to all parts of the earth. Various
foreign influences, those of Germany
as well as Great Britain, have
heretofore- operated against the development
of the ocean carryi.ig facilities
of this country.
If the government is going to allow
those New York cotton exchange gamblers
to depress the price of the southern
cotton crop to the extent of hundreds
of millions of dollars, we are
wondering how or why the government
expects southern farmers to buy any of
those bonds the government is preparing
to sell in April. Of course the '
gamblers are not getting the cotton, 1
and they are not going to get it, in our
opinion; but nevertheless they have
temporary control of the price at 1
which it must be sold if sold at the
present time. 1
i
As to whether or not the proposition
to work all convicts on the public (
roads under state supervision is the (
right thing we do not know: but we do .
not mind saying that if it results in
the abolition of the county chaingang
vve will be glad of that. Xobody can
claim that convict labor is as economical
as free labor, certainly not convict
labor under county chaingang conditions.
The only argument for the
chaingang is the necessity of having
some way of taking care of short term
prisoners; but even that argument is
of doubtful force, for as we see it it
would be cheaper and more satisfactory
to confine these prisoners in jail
than to attempt to work them on the
roads.
Leon Bourgeois, former premier and
French authority on the league of nations,
cites as precedent for the punishment
of the Germans of all degree
for cruelty to prisoners of war, etc.,
the case of Henry Wirz, the commandant
of the Confederate prison at
Andersonville, Ga., who was tried by
the Federals, after the war, by court
martial and shot, for alleged cruelty
to Federal prisoners, etc. While we
think there is no question of the fact
that many Germans should be punished
with death for their brutal and
criminal treatment of Allied prisoners,
we think that M. Bourgeois is very
unfortunate in the precedent he cites.
Wins treated Federal prisoners as
well as he was able to treat them with
the means at his command. He had
no instructions from the Confederate
government that warranted brutality
and he was guilty of r.othlng of the
kind. He was shot more out of a spirit
of spiteful revenge than anything
else on the representations of prisoners
who wanted to get even. But in
the case of the Germans there is plenty
of evidence that the Kaiser himself
ordered all kinds of cruelties, and
it would seem that proper punishment
of the Kaiser should cover the cases
of those who carried out his orders.
Somehow we are not especially
alarmed about the possibility of event- :
ual Bolshevik control of the American
government. We still feel on this sub- i
Ject as Thomas Jefferson did. In the
formative period of the American gov- ,
ernment, one of the most anxious |
questions was whether suffrage should '
be allowed to everybody, or whether it !
should be confined to the educated and j
property-owning classes. There were
those who held that manhood suffrage
would soon result in universal disaster, y
and they wanted to arrange things so
as to forever keep the control of the Q
government in the hands of those who
had the education and the property. B
Thomas Jefferson, an aristocrat of
aristocrats, of education, culture and j
wealth, maintained from the beginning
that the destinies of this country could
not be more secure than in the hands J
of the people, and his views prevailed,
with the result that America has recently
saved the civilization of the c
world. That we do not understand
Bolshevism we freely confess. What p
we do understand of it, we see no good
in it; but we have all confidence in the g
good sense of the American people,
and we refuse to believe anything else y
than that the present and future of
the government are as safe as they g
were in Jefferson's day.

Representative Nunn of York county,
is making an effort to secure the
best possible sanitary conditions in and B
around the cotton mills of South Carolina.
He wants sewerage in mill vil- p
lages where possible, and where that
is not possible he wants the next best *
thing. He has been working on the
proposition ever since he has been in }
the general assembly, and has met
with many obstacles; but it is begin- ^
ning to appear to most reasonable people
now that his efforts are commendable,
and deserving of support. Mr.
Nunn is not after making hardship for R
anybody; but he holds that any Industrial
or other enterprise which calls
for the collection of workers and their
families in sufficient numbers to make
a sanitary problem must solve that a
sanitary problem. e
. ? . o
The idea that supply and demand c
enters even to the remotest extent in li
fixing the price of cotton on the New fi
York cotton exchange is somply a lie, F
and it is not oven a plausible lie. And v
a condition under which a gang of o
gamblers as rapacious as was the kai- o
ser when he thought he had his own
way in Belgium and France certainly P
needs attention. When during Presi- P
dent Wilson's iirst campaign some- tl
body asked him from a crowd how he ti
was going to help the country against P
certain financial manipulators who b
were then doing as they pleased, he t!
Bald: "We will hang them as high as o
Haaman." That sounded good to us; 1<
but we think that if the president n
really wants to make good now is the n
time to invade the New York cotton u
exchange with his rope. c
The senate has sustained the gov- li
ernor's veto Governor Manning's veto *
of the Banks's cotton insurance bill, h
The Banks's bill sought to insure cot- h
ton in state warehouses at near about c
cost, by and through the sinking fund c
commission. The bill would have made n
the farmers independent of the insur- h
ance companies as tp rates and condi- e
tions, and would have permitted the s
insurance of cotton on farms. That f
the insurance people and independent b
warehouse people did not want such a tl
bill goes without saying. Cotton in- r
surance is the softest and juciest snap fi
in the whole fire insurance graft. Cot- b
ton can be insured for full market n
value and in case of loss the settlement c
is made on a basis of full market value, n
The Insured agrees to become co-in- g
surer to the full amount. If cotton n
goes up the insured must come across e
with additional premiums, else he car- v
ries the difference. If cotton goes n
down, the insured can save himself a
only by canceling the existing policy li
and taking out a new one. But the in- tl
Bured seldom does that because owing a
to fluctuations it is of doubtful advisa- b
bility. If any insurance company has
ever lost money in cotton insurance
we have no information to that effect.
The whole record of such insurance is >
* * * * J J kinfr V
mat It IS Simpiy a ut'iiu Dure uuug< The
subterfuge upon which Mr. Manning
vetoed the Banks's bill was that ^
the bill provided for the payment of b
losseB out of the premiums received for
insurance and other funds of the com- v
mission. By a far fetched theory this
is reasonable- In imagination one can
conjure up the catastrophe of the loss b
of the whole sinking fund through cot- e
ton fires, Just as one can conjure up c
the dissipation of the Atlantic ocean by
the introduction of some element ..
that would separate the hydrogen and
oxygen of which the water in it is con- ii
stituted. In our opinion that was not
the reason of the veto. The reason of e
the veto, as we see it, was the influence J
of the insurance people and of the in- c
dependent warehousemen. That was
aiRn what was the matter with twenty b
of the thirty-three senators who voted h
to sustain that veto. The bill would q
have given the farmers cotton insur- G
ance at much less cost than they now s
have to pay and it would have swelled
the income of the sinking fund tre- e
mendously. Everybody in the state 1<
knows that. Senator Banks, the au- ^
thor of the bill, is a soft-voiced, mild- r
mannered man, of strong and deep n
feelings. He does not explode under >'
any circumstances; but on the capitol ?
steps once he said to the writer of this w
paragraph: "The people of South Carolina
do not stand any more show in
that place, (Indicating the senate
chamber) than a yellow dog."

Prisoners Must Not Be Allowed to ?
Die With Their Shackles On. In a '
special message to the house of repre- a
sentatives Wednesday, in which he u
transmits the report of the state board r
of charities and corrections on the s'
deaths of five negro convicts at the
Good Samaritan hospital in Columbia y
on January 21, with their prison r
shackles on their limbs, Governor R. li
A. Cooper recommends legislation that w
a recurrence of such a circumstance c
should not be repeated in the future, it
"Any recommendation along this line,"
he said, "would necessarily involve ti
your placing all convicts under state w
control." It appears to the governor, v
as stated in his message, that the inci- a
dent was due primarily to the dlfflcul- e
ty in providing adequate treatment to h
the sick on the Richland county chain- e
gang, in which prisoners were placed. a
The investigation was the outcome c
of a resolution by Mr. Meares of Fair- e

ON COTTON.
Mr. S. B. Tanner, president of the
jtton mills at Caroleen and Henrietta,
C., has given. out the following
orth while interview on the cotton
larket situation:
"In reference to the great depression
i business, especially in cotton and
jtton manufacturing in the south and
ew England, I would say that it
terns the present situation has been
articipated by the speculators on the
>tton exchanges, who took advantage
f the fact that embargoes were in efjet,
which prevented the shipping of
jtton and cotton igoods from this
auntry. which were expected to open
p by January 1. at which time the
-ade of the country was paying, and
o doubt expected to continue paying,
fair price, based on 30-cent cotton,
t least, until another large crop could
e assured either this year or later, as
has been evident since the close of
le war that all of this crop would be
eeded, and all of the goods we could
lake, if they could be placed on the
larkets of the world before another
rop could be made"The
speculators were able to derpjw
the nrice easily on account of
lis disappointment to the trade, as
le laws permit them to tender infeior
grades of cotton entirely at the
iller's option, which the mills cannot
se, and of which there is now an
versupply. Instead of being required
) deliver specific grades or even
rades without giving the buyer any
ption whatever, but requiring him to
ike the lowest grade entirely, if to the
iterest of the seller.
"The speculator can force quotaons
down to ridiculous prices, which
0 not represent the price of actual
Dtton that can be used by the mills
enerally, and in this way a few thournd
bales of undesirable cotton deloralized
the price of millions of bales
f good cotton in the hands of planters
nd manufacturers. Besides holding up
le cotton manufacturing business
iroughout the entire country, and
lereby throwing thousands of people
at of employment.
"For example, the farmer would
ot sell his good grade cotton on a
arity with low grades, as he claims
le present prices are below the cost
C production, but holds it for 30 cents,
hile the price for contracts in New
ork was quoted at 23 1-2 cents for
elivery in January or February. But
' you ask them for delivery of cotton
rhich the mills can use you are in>rmed
that this grade will cost 650
oints or six and one-half cents a
ound more.
"The buyer of goods, seeing the New
ork quotation of 23 1-2 cents and not
nowlng the real situation, refuses to
uy goods in the face of such a drasc
decline in cotton, when in reality
le mill still pays 30 cents for cotton
nd would lose considerably on goods
ased on the New York Quotation of
1 1-2 cents.
"England, Japan and other manuicturing
countries pay considerably
lore than 30 cents for cotton, and as
ley have large merchant marines,
ley are enabled, we are told, to exort
all of their output profitably,
hile this country is curtailing prouction,
reducing wages, and even
nutting down in order to avoid heavy
isses.
"I think-the members of the house
nd senate acted-wisely in cabling the
resident to life embargoes and to
lrnish ships for all available points for
[lipping cotton and cotton goods at
n<&, and to other points as soon as
ossible in order to give an outlet at
nee and avoid further demoralization.
"It seems that America is expected
y foreign countries to continue to be
lagnanlmous and humane, even after
le war has ended and to use all of its
[lipping for carrying food to Allies
nd former enemies, while other coun ies
use their shipping facilities for
imlnhinc thorn rJothine and manu
ictured goods, while they seem to objct
to our doing this, and our indus ies
and Jaborers are suffering from
agnation and losses both in operaon
and reduction in wages, and the
ear speculators take advantage of
lis, as they have always been given
redit for thriving upon the adversies
and distress of the country, which
?ey strive to promote.
"Another object in forcing lower
notations is to induce the banks to
ill for more security on cotton and
>rcing sales for this purpose, and
lereby causing still lower prices, to
le further detriment of the prospery
of the. country. However, the
lanters claim that they have borrowi
very little on their cotton this sea>n
and the speculator may finally lose
n this point."

this after Carter had traded the mule

French Orphan*.
Here is some first hand information J
as to the conditions around La Pallice,
France, where Lewis M. Grist, of Motor
Truck Company 620 is now encamped. ]
It relates to the distressing state of 1
largo numbers of French children. j
The statement comes in a letter to the
writer's little sister, who in writing to 1
her brother some time ago, told him >
how she would like to be over there
with him. "No, darling," he says, "you 1
do not want to be over here. This is '
no place for you. I would like to be
back home with you; but I would not J
like to have you here with me. I'll ]
tell you why. There are hundreds of '
little children here, your age and
younger, who are ragged and starving. '
They come about us at mess three (
times a day and oftener, watching for <
anvthing we can give them from our
meals, and all of us try to have some- I
thing for them. What we have ought
to choke us and would choke us if we
did not divide with these poor little
creatures. Some of them bring more
or less battered cups in which to get
coffee, and all of them are glad to get
whatever we can give them, even to
scraps that, we would not care to eat
unless we were hungrier than we are.
It is not only that way around our
camp; but everywhere in France, and
our motor truck organization is making
systematic efforts to relieve these
orphans as much as we can by subscription,
each man giving a part of
his pay. In the aggregate the motor
truck organizations have so far contributed
considerably more Chan a
hundred thousand francs to this orphan
fund, and the movement is growing,
instead of falling off. You could
not think it otherwise, would you,
when in spite of these contributions
we are still confronted^wlth this daily I

having obtained goods under false pre- '

To Abolish All County Chaingangs. '
State direction of the entire chain- 1
gang forces of the state and the creation
of a state convict road building
force of prisoners 17 years of age is '
contemplated in a bill which Represen- 1
tative Meares of Fairfield county, is j
introducing in the house of representatives.
The bill has the approval of 1
the state highway commission, the
state board of charities and correction j
and it embodies a general plan to which 1
Mr. Cooper is favorable. '
Provisions of the act are that all '
convicts shall be delivered to the su- '
perintendent of the state penitentiary.
From the superintendent the state 1
highway engineer would requisition J
forces for the state rQad building convict
gang. Work would be executed j
on the state system of roads as desig- '
nated by the highway commission. (
It is further provided that each 1
county shall receive as many days la- {
lor as entitled to as the number of con
victs sent up from the particular county
and the length of sentences im- j
posed.
Maintenance would be provided by t
a one mill levy on all taxable prop- .
erty and funds with which to con- (
struct roads would be provided by the f
creation of a "state highway fund" j
from licenses from motor vehicles. |
Another distinctly Interesting fea- r
ture of the bill is that compensation s
would be allowed all prisoners for or- r
derly conduct, this graduated scale r
increasing in proportion to the length j
of the sentence. It would not apply r
to life prisoners. r

Mr. Harding to come to Columbia.
It Is probable that the governor of the
Federal reserve board, W. P. G. Harding,
will visit Columbia to discuss with
representatives of the people the
financing of the cotton crop. B. Harris.
state commissioner of agriculture,
has invited Mr. Harding and has received
the following letter In reply:
"I acknowledge the receipt of your
telegram of the 24th inst, and would
state that I expect to be in Atlanta on
Friday, February 14. It is possible
that I may be able to arrange to stop
over In Columbia on Tuesday, the
13th.
"I had a conversation over the telephone
Saturday with the director of
operations of the shipping board, and
suggested that ocean rates on cotton
be stabilized for the remainder of the
present cotton season. I understand,
that the rate to English ports Is about
|24 per bale, while the rate to Japan
is just about half, and was informed
that representatives of the British government
were, not agreed that a lower
rate to England would be advisable
and that pending an agreement on
their part, it is Improbable that the
rate would "be reduced. It would not
be proper for me to put myself in the
attitude of criticising another agency
of the government, but it is my personal
opinion that farmers should
unite in asking for a reduction in
rates, ana tnat tney aiso migni consider
reducing: the acreage for 1919.
"Theoretically the stock of cotton Is
inadequate to meet the world demand,
but in many countries the demand for
foodstuffs Is moe urgent than that for
clothing, with the result that there Is a
tendency on the part of prospective
purchases, before buying to let the
cotton market work downward. It
seems to me that the tendency can
best be counteracted by agitation tor
a reduction."
Square Deal for Cotton. Two legislative
measures designed to affect the
market prices of cotton were Introduced
in the house Tuesday by representatives
from cotton growing
states. Both were referred to the
agriculture committee.
Representative Howard of Georgia
introduced a bill which he said was
intended to place the prices of cotton
futures on parity with spot cotton.
Five grades of cotton would be fixed
by his measure as the "official cotton
standards of the United States,"
these being middling, strict low middling,
strict middling and good middling.
Further, his measure would provide
that "average deliveries shall not
?rade below middling." This average
he explained, would be maintained by
deliveries of equal quantities of cotton
of the grades above and below
middling. I
Representative Heflin of Alabama
proposed by a resolution "that gamaiing
or speculation in cotton was carried
on at present at the New York i
ind New Orleans cotton exchange be
prohibited."
"The great difference between the '
price of cotton futures on these ex:harges."
Mr. Heflln's resolution said,
'and the price of spot cotton in the
markets of the country, is proof poeiive
that these two exchanges have ,
reased to be places of legitimate spec- '
Ration, but have degenerated into ;
gambling institutions."
