WILL WELCO3E WILSON. Local Alumni of the University of Vir ginia-To Cooperate With Editors. In view of the approaching visit to Columbia by Woodrow Wilson, says the Columbia State, the local alumni of the University of Virginia will ex tend a warm welcome to the distin guished vi-itor. In fact, il1 thc. alumni of the-State may be invited to join the local organization. Gov. Wil son has in Columbia a nuaber of friends who attended school with him at Mr. Barnwell's academy and later at the University of Virginia, and they wish to extend to him a hearty wel come to the old home town. Christie Benet is the active president of the Columbia club of the Virginia alumni and will be glad to hear from other alumni in the city and in the State. Gov. Wilson comes to Columbia on the 2nd of June by invitation of the South Carolina Press association, and the pleasure of having him here will be shared with the people of the State. The address will be delivered in the Columbia theatre, which is the largest hall in the city. The women's colleges in Columbia will have closed, but the university community will re lish this address from one who has been among the foremost educators of the day. ( Columbia being so easily accessible to all parts of the State, it is hoped that every newspaper proprietor and editor in the State will attend the weeting here. The entire Colonia ho tel will be at the disposal of the asso ciation and there will be comfortable rooms for all. An interesting pro gram has been arranged and a spe eial invitation has been extended to a number of the veteran editors who have been in harness something like 40 years. Among these are John W. Holmes, of Barnwell and Charles Petty, of Spartanburg, members of the famous Wallace house in 1876, and Col. R. A. Thompson, of Walhalla; sole survivor of the Secession convention of 1860. Rev. Dr. W. P. Jacobs, of Clinton, at present and for years the chbaplain of the association, is ex Lpected to attend, although he is a very busy man wit the care of the Thorn well college for orphans. Dr. Jacobs contributed to The State on December 20 his reminiscences of the signing of the Ordinance of Secession, which oc casion he reported for the Charleston Courier. MAY BE HELD) UP. Attorney General May Postpone Dis-1 pensary Trials-Nothing of Offi cial Nature Given out. Columbia State. While nothing of an official nature bas yet been announced, it is general ly believed that J.~Fraser Lyon, attor mey general, will rehise to go to trial with (he remaining alleged dilspen g4 ry cases, during the administration ofGov. Ble!ase. This course- will be taken, it is said, because Gov. Blease granted a full pardon to John Black, wno was con victed in C,hester -county and sentenc-1 d~ to five ye/rs in the penitentiary. - Mr. Lyon was asked yesterday if he -would try others under indictment during the administration of Gov. "I have no statement to make at ibis time," said the attorney general. Cases on the charge of graft in corn xection with the State dispensary are lending against L. W. B.oykin, W. 0. Tatum, H. H. Evans, John Bell Towill, and-the Blocks of Macon, Ga. Several days ago Mr. Lyon sent a( letter to Gov. Blease answering sever-!1 al questions as to the work of the i ~1egal department in the graft prosecu- 1 li.ons. In this letter the attorney gen- i eral enumerated those to 'whom im munity had been granted for giving I *vidence at the trials. When the governor read the letter: ke immediately granted John Black a full pardon, whi'ch relieved him of t paying to the State the sumif of $2,000. r Gov. Blease did not say j.st what statement in the letter caused him to pa.rdon Black, but said the letter causI -ed him to take this action. HARRISON WINS IN CHIICAG~O.d For Fifth Time Will Serve as Chica- e go's Mayor-Majority for Demo- t cratic Candidate 18,00O. e Chicago, April 4.-Carter- H. IHr r- 1 rison, mayor of Chicago. from 18S97t tntil 1905, and son of Carter H. Har- o rison, Sr., who occupied the mayor's' $ office from 1879 to l8f~7, and was as- t sissinated during the World's Fair, p was elected mayor for the fifth time t today. He defeated Charles E. MIer- e riam, his Republican opponent. by i 17,08S2 votes, gaining a total of 177,3~>S votes.S In spite of the oppositon of a ma- c jority of the local press, the election e -was almost a complete T'mo:crat:c n A victory. The election of Fred Con nery, for city clerk, and Henry Stuck art, for city treasurer, early was con ceded, although a count of their tota vote has not been completed. Thi Democratic majority of the ity coutn cil has been increased by a dozei members. Admits Defeat. Prof. Charles E. Merriam, his Re publican opponent, conceded the elec tion to Mr. Harrison at 6.30, two an a half-hours after the polls closed, bu declared that results were such a. would give him hope for another cam paign. He said: "I am satisfied with the fight wE have made. We have presented the is sues of decent, honest, economica government squarely to the voters it a way that cannot fail to help con ditions. The battle must be fought noi once, but many times, and in the long run it will prove successful. I con gratulate Mr. Harrison on his victory and wish him well in his administra tion." Big Democratic Gain. Returns by wards show that Prof Merriam was given nearly 7 per cent, less votes than Busse (Republican) was accorded four years ago, while Harrison ran over 17 per cent. ahead of the figures attained by Dunne (Democrat) at that time. The vote reached above 340,000, which is abont 25,000 more than the record at the same time in the last mayoralty con test. In spite of this both sides agreed that Merriam lost through failure of the "silk stocking" wards to show the strength expected. Even in the twenty-fifth ward, where Merriam's candidacy was conceived, failure of Merriam supporters to vote caused the professor's total to. drop far below what had been expected. Harrison announced as soon as this ward had been reported that he had won and prepared a statement. After this ward had reported-the result never was in doubt. "Seventy Cents Gas" Helped. While the first ward gave up its usual Democratic plurality, it was not alone from this, and the river wards of similar character, tn' Harrison drew his support. His eignt years' service in the mayor's chair drew out many from the ranks his opponent b.ad not counted on, and his promise of 70-cent gas was said by his man a.gers to have had a great influence with the West Side wards, where he showed unexpected strength. One of the features of the campaign was th_e vote polled by the Socialist party. Five-sixths of the total pre aincts in the first inidicated that the rote would reach 24,000, a gain of 1.1, )00 .over the vote of four years ago. )n the other hand the prohibition vote Iropped to 3,000 this year, as against [1,000 last year. Democrats Regain Power. J'oplin, Mo., April 4.-With the e5l seption of thr~ee 'councilmen and the olice judge, the Democrats regain ad control of the city government to lay, whichl they lost two years ago. Soesialists Losing Ground! Milwaukee, April 4.-The Solialist )emocrat party in this city and coun *y was defeated in today's judicial and chool board elections. Today was he first d.efeat of the Socialist pow r in Milwaukee since they swept ev ~rything in the city a year ago and arried a number of assembly districts ~nd elected a congressman last fall. )f Interest to the Farmers of South' Carolina. According sto information furnished iy the United States department of ommerce and labor, 15,745,500 gal ons of cottonseed oil were produced$ n South Carolina in 1909. This was vorth approximately $6,298,200. This s a considerable amount of money nd the market which demands this roduct is an important one to the eople of the State. This fact has led men who wish to ee oleomargarine take the place of' utter to. make it appear that the tanufacture of oleomargarine fur-I ishes one of the greatest ifnot the reatest reasons for this market de land. But such is not the case., In act the value of the cottonseed oil sed in the manufacture of this pro uct is so small in comparison that is not worthy of the least consid-! ration. especially when the value of; te dairy products or tnle State are onsidered. We do not have the statistics for. 909, but in 1908 the value of the cot m seed oil used in the manufacture f oleomargarine in this c'ountry was 199,458.42. The value of all the cot mnSeed oil produced in 1909 was ap roximately $63,331,400. This means: lt less than one per' cent. of $he ytonseed oil sold was used in mak ig oleomargarine. According to the departmient report, outh Carolina p)roduced about 10 perj ant. of all the cottonseed oil produc 1 in 1909.
