HOLD COTTON.
Cotton is the victim of scheming
speculators is no longer doubted;
these schemers manipulate the mar
ket to suit themselves, not even the
government report any longer has
its influence and all of this, is the
promised prosperity we were to have.
The recent government report show
ed a decided shortage in the crops;
that there was a general decrease in
the crops throughout the entire cot
ton belt, and other sources of infor
formation, show that the mills in
America and Europe are short of the
staple, yet in the face of these facts
shortage in yield and demand for
material, the price goes down, down,
down. What is the remedy? Here
is a problem for our statesmen to
solve. The hope of a better con
dition, in our opinion lies in the or
ganization of the cotton growers, and
connected with them all business in
terests which depend upon the fleecy
staple for its sustainance. We do not
mean to organize the farmer and
build up a huge politicial machine,
but for them to organize to resist the
organized manipulations of the spec
ulators across the Atlantic. If there
is not something done to bring about
a change, we cannot see any bright
future for the tillers of the soil. There
should be some way of preventing a
few men, who sit in palatial offices
thousands of miles from the cotton
fields, from fixing the price. Natural
ly, supply and demand should reg
ulate this matter, but the present
conditions show that neither supply
nor demand cut any figure, for im
mediately upon the announiement of
of the government report showing a
large falling off'in the crop, and also
a scarcity of material at the mills, the
price went down fourteen points and
it continues with its head downward
ever since. The outlook is gloomy,
but with rising prices in other lines
we are inclined to believe the pres
ent pressure is brought on to take
advantage of those who are forced to
market their crop at this time, and
later on when they have turned the
screw of oppression as far as they
want, a turn will be made the other
way, and the prices will get better.
Our advice to our readers is to hold
cotton in the hands of your creditors,
and if you are out of debt stow it
away out of the weather at home.
Governor Ellerbe realizes the im
portance of the liquor question. He
knows that the whiskey combine is
donesof the strongest in the United
States, and in order to be in position
to handle this much litigated ques
tion he wants an expression from the
people. Circular letters hsve been
prepared to be sent to ministers
throughout the State without regard
to denomination and from the replies
the Governor expects great aid in
arriving at some definite plan to pro
pose to the coming session of the
General Assembly. Because the gov
ernor has taken this step, th& news
papers who are cbuckling with de
light at the State being flooded with
free liquor are endeavoring to throw
dirt in the eyes of the people by re
sorting to ridicule.
Judge Simonton gave to the whis
key' sellers of South Carnlina that,
which the people who are forced to
bear the burdens of taxation to keep
this government running would
never do; that decision may be based
upon law as it stands upon the Fed
eral Statutes, and if so he could not
have done otherwise, legislation
should be appealed to for relief from
this most outrageous provision of
law, if it be law. The governor can
not legislate, he can only recommend
and when he seeks information from
men wvho are noted for their brain
and good morals, the people feel safe
in his hands. Of course, the news
papers in the pay of the whiskey
trust do not want the sentinment of
these God-fearing men to be known
because it would qjuicken action
among the people and arouse them
into demanding of the their repre
sentatives that the governor's hands
be held up.
The News and Courier in its last
Monday's issue, in speaking of Gov
erno E11erbe's letters to the preach
ers, suggests that wheu th replies
come in, to "burn them all up as fast
as they come." A wise suggestion
for the News ad Courier to make,
sure; there is no doubt that the same
suggestion would come from every
slum keeper, or original package
dealer in the city of Charleston. We
would not be surprised to know that
that this same wise suggestior. was
inspired by the same man who made
the affidavit charging the governor,
attorney general, and others with
conspiracy, insolvency, etc. Attor
ney Barber made such cattle tremble
in their boots and the oath was with
drawn in mighty short order.
The News and Courier's suggestion
will hardly be favorably acted upon,
should the ministers throughout this
State respond to any inquires Gov-'
ernor Ellerbe might make, and the
replies will reach the people and not
be questioned.
Whatever changes to be made in
the dispensary law must be made by
the general assembly and we feel
satisfied that body will weigh care
fully every recommendation the gov
ernor proposes, the law-makers will
bardly be led by certain newspapers
whose opposition to the dispensary
has been so constant, and so bitter
that the whiskey element depended
upon them for help when they were
bidding defiance to the law of the
land.
The newspapers that are arrayed
against the dispensary law are such
ardent workers for their master-the
whiskey combine-that they actually
advertise the original package shops
free, and every newspaper reader
knows this to be true, and they know
more, that these same newspapers
would not do any free advertising for
any other business,not even where the
object of the business, is charity. We
therefore have no idea these sort of
opinion moulders will have much
weight with the men who are en
trusted by the people to make laws.
UNJUST TO THE GOVERNOR.
It seems to the Press and Banner
that Governor Ellerbe has been un
justly treated by some of the press of
the State in discussing his act in re
moving the metropolitan police from I
the city of Charleston.
The records would show that Gov
ernor Ellerbe has been blamed for
not removing the police sooner, and
now, since he has removed them, he
is censured.
The people of Charleston may be
planning to cut Governor Ellerbe's
throat at the next election, but we
venture to sugg~est that it will not be
the part of wis:1om for that city to
organize a fight on Governor Ellerbe
because of his fidelity in trying to en
force the laws of the State.
Under existing circumstances with
the recollection of Charleston's de
fiance of the liquor law of the State
it occurs to us that, that city had
better not bring on a fight for liquor
at the approaching election.
The business of selling liquor in
this State has received a blow from
which it will not recover. The efforts
of the prohibitionists combined with
the assistance of the bar room ele
ment, will not be sufliciently power
ful to remove the restraints now fixed
in the constitution.
If Charleston should be foolish en
ough to make war on Governor El
lerbe because of his efforts to enforce
the liquor law, and an effort should
be made to restore the old bar room
sstexn, Governor Ellerbe's re-elec
tion wouD3 be assured. He has been
tried, and his acts have proved him
faithful to the sobriety and morality
of the people of the State, and the
people will stand to him against each
and every man who may seck to run
on a liquor ticket.
Charleston has so long ruled this
this State that she now seems to be
united in her efforts to nullify the law
which does not suit her foreign ele
ment, and she seems determined to
organize a force in the State who fa
vor the rule of this State by the
agents of alien liquor stillers. Such
an effort to humiliate a great umd
proud State has never before received
the sympathy of so large a number
of residents, but they will be power
less to make South Carolina the ab
ject and stricken territory of foreign
liquor dealers.-.ibbevillo Press and
Banner.

31. Em-ron:-Tour timely sugges
tion to the General Assembly, con
tained in an editorial in last week's
issue of THE TIMrs, in regard to the
election of a judge for the first circuit
will evoke a hearty Amen from all
who read it; and it is earnestly hoped
that the legislature, at its next sit
ting, will give to the first circuit a
judge selected from the brilliant
array of legal talent that is to be
found within its bounds.
Now, Mr. Editor, while you are in
a conservative frame of mind and
seem to be directing your energy to
wards the restoration of the rights of
some portions of the State that have
for so long been deprived of them,
could you not call the attention of
the General Assembly to a condition:
of affairs in your own (the third) cir
cuit similar to that in the first? The:
same injustice that wvas inflicted upon
the people of the first circuit wvas per
pQtrated upon those of the third, aud
ad for the same reason.
Judge Btuebanan was no less an
importation into the one than was~
Judge Benlet into the other, and
ther6 are lawyvers in the formers di
trict no less fitted for this high posi
tion than the many in that of the

THE EXPEDITION IS SAFE,
Captaia Cavenidishi and His Companions
Not Murdered, rns Report.li.
LoxDos, Oct. 11.-There seems nc
reason to doubt that the Cavendish
sporting expedition, which left Ber
bera, East Africa, last year is safe in
every respect. A report reached Rome
from Benadir on Oct. 2 to the effect
that the expedition, which arrived at
Lugh, Solaliland, about the middle of
November last, and thence proceeded
towards Lake Rudolph, had been at
tacked by a band of Amtharas, who, it
was added. had murdered all the mem
bers of the exrnedition, including two
Engihmen, Captain Oavendish, whc
is a nephew of the Duke of Devonshire,
Lieutenant Andrew, his companion,
and 90 Ascaris.
A letter from Kikuyu, British East Af
rica, received here on Oct. 4 disproved
this report. This letter, which v as writ
ten by Frank Hall, the British ait;:t at
Kikuyu, announced that Cavendsii and
his uartv arrived at Kikuyu <n Aug.
5, after a trip around Lake Randolph.
which up to that time had not been ex
plored.
Mr. Hall further stated that the Cav
endish expedition had started for Zan
zibar Aug. 15, the route to be takeni be
ing perfectly safe. The expedition had
a little trouble with the native head
men, who incited the Ascaris to inn
tiny, and, for a time, the two Eo:Sisii
men were forced to yield to theC do
mands of the Ascaris.

HERE WE ARE.
LEVIBROTHERS
TO REMIND
Oar friends in Clareudon that we
C want a continuance of the liberal pa
tronage the good people of 'ar-ndon
- have always so kindly bestowed upon
C us, and in thanking them we desire
to say that a great part of i,'r success
in this busy market of Sumter is du- .
o to the people with whom we were
b brought up and who know u be.t.
We are truly thankful for this mani
C festation of confidence and we can
assure our friends that we will guard
their good opinion of n with a jeal
j os care.
C The season is at hand when goods -
will have to be bought, the Home
and the Farm will have to be pro
vided for. There nes er was a time in
c this country when it was more to
one's interest to look carefully after
- purchases.
E Congress brought on a revolution
in the prices of manufactured goods,
C but being in a position to do so and
with our usual watchfulness of the
interests of our patrons and our own
interests, we grasped the situation
as soon as President McKinley called
Congress together in extraordinary
session. We knew it meant Tariff
and Tariff meant a tremendous rise
in prices. We hurried on and made
our fall contracts and the result is
that we are able to compete with any
house in the State, in Dry Goods, .
Clothing, Shoes, Hats, and further .
we are paying every cent the market
will permit for cotton.
Our Dress Goods Department
Is a pleasure for any lady to visit;
C there she will find a perfect line of
the newest Novelties and latest ideas.
C The styles are models of beauty: de
signs and colorings cannot be excelled.
CLOTHING,
We offer at prices surprisingly low:
the greatest triumph over high prices
we have ever known. An examina
tion is all that is necessary to con
vince. The customer gets full value
for his money.
SHOES, SHOES, SHOES.
The largest and best stock we have
ever handled and nowhere can better
bargains be had than at our store.
In this line we give the manufactur
ers' guarantee, and when you buy a
pair of shoes from us you get solid
Sleather.
GROCERIES.
It is hardly necessary for us to say .
anything about this line because it is
known that we buy direct; there is
no middle man to share in the profits
Sand our customers can get anything
a in the Grocery line from us and save
C money.
S We want you to come to see us
Swhen you come to the city, and we
Snot only want to sell you goods, but
we want you to sell us your cotton.
