The work of leading a move ment in the interests of the farmers is not a bed of roses, by aymeans, all kinds of obstacles are thrown in the way, past fail ures loom up discourageingly and petty selfishness plays nc small part. In every great movement there was opposition, the greater the cause, the fiercer the opposition, and now that a movement look ing to the formation of an organ ization iIi the interests of the entire South without regard to class or avocation has been started, and bids fair to succeed, the opposition has set in by at tempting to appeal to the politi cal prejudices. The Columbia State from which we expected better, takes the position of a politician in fear'of losing his job, and tries to frighten the people away from the organization by holding up a Republican bug-a-boo, in the speech of Hon. John L. McLau rin, where he advocates a tariff on cotton so that the cotton -owers of the South may be 'protected the same as are the wheat growers of the West. The State says "if Mr. McLaurin 6 wishes to be useful to the South ern farmer let him desist from this protection propagandism. Mr. McLaurin when in Congress urged upon Congress to be fair to the South, that if a tariff of 25 cents per bushel was to be put on Western wheat, 5 cents r pound should be put on Southern cotton, but no, the politicians of the South would not have it, and went before the people teaching protection to be ,.Republicanism. At that time it as easy to prejudice the mind with any thing that could be al lied with Republicanism; the people then, were in a condition to be dieceived, but that day is past, and the time has come when the people are looking for uiaterial results and not frazzled out political theories. If Mr. RJMcLaurin's. ideas can pro tect cotton from the ravages of 'the specutator aso that the farmer wh1l never again see 5 cent cotton, that is just what he wants !regardless from.. which yarty the principle emanates, the starving man is indifferent whether the bread that is hand edii tuis placed upon a Repub jican or ~a Democratic plate hade wants is bread, so it is * 'ith the farmer, the price must bring a profit or his avocation is gone and bankruptcy overtakes him. .Senator McLaurin is a conspic ~nous figure in this great move mnent, and because of it the op position has commenced to throw -obstacles in his way by appeal ing to a senseless prejudice. But - hat our readers may see, we reproduce an editorial from the Columbia State and a reply to it from the Columbia Record: ELOQUENT BUT NOT COMMoN. SENsE. SThe State has no dfesire to suppress the enthusiasm of Former Senator Mc iLaurin in his efforts to aid the South -ern farmers, but if such efforts are to be successful they must be expended along practical lines: the beginning -should be a right beginning. 'That *was a very' eloquent speech made to the farmers and bankers by Mr. McLaurin and it was enthusiastically receivedi, hut eloquence is a drug on the market: what we want is common sense. And in that latter quality Mr. McLaurin was deficient: he was absolutely illog cal. The former Senator,,as anintroduc tion to his argument\for protection, sneered long and loud t "the cry of overproduction," and tl talk of."sup ply and demand." To prove the fallacy of a living and enforced law, he comn pared the wheat farmer with the cot zonfarmer and held that the wheat farmer,-through protection and organ ization, had maintained prices which are the equivalent of 1.24 cent cotton. But fatal to his argument against the potency of supply and demand as a gov erning factor in commerce, Mr. Mc *Laurin makes the wheat grower say: "Every grain of our wheat is consumed each year, and yet we hear of famine in Ireland, England, India and Russia.'' With every grain consumed and people hungry for bread there is certainly no overproduction, the demand is greater than the supply and the price of wheat should be high. The wheat farmer has helped himself by organization; not a trust or unlawful combine, but a bus imess arrangement by which wheat is stored in elevators and sold to consum ers when needed, instead of being dumped, in billlion bushel quantities, on the market as soon as threshed. We are supporting an organization of cot ton farmers to handle their cotton crop in a like business manner. But let the wheat growers produce a quarter of a billion bushels more than the de mand and, with their protection, their storehouses and their organization, prices will drop. The cotton groweri must realize that great truth and not allowv themselves to be befuddled by theorists or led to worship strange gods. No man doubts that cotton ,would now be selling for 12 cents ii America had produced 10,000,000 in stead of 12,T50,000 bales last year. Mr. McL.aurin knows that overpro duction has forced down the price ol cotton. The purpose of this organiza tion of farmers is to hold the surplui adso to reduce the yield of the next crop as to restore the balance between production and consumption and tc maintain that balance thereafter. The recognition of the law of supply and demand is the soul of the farmers or ganization. Eighteen months ago when cottor: was selling for fifteen cents a pound a New York speculator who had to de. some squeezing by bringcing from En land a few hundred bales of cotton that had been shipped there from New York. Mr. McLaurin seizes on that incident, magnifies it, and attempts to make farmers believe that an import tax on cotton will benefit them. He would have them embrace the dearest Repub lican principle for a mere shadow: such a tax could never benefit any but the cotton gamblers and then only when the price was abnormally high. A way with the fatuous arguments Senator McLaurin, in advocating the formation of a trust, says: "Whether the power would be abused or not is another question: but I do say that it makes you for the time the complete master of the cotton world." The State has earnestly urged the farmers heed the nursery-told fable and not run the risk of killing the goose that lays the Erolden eggs. And the farmers are evincing every dispositiou to be wisely conservative. What we wish is a busi ness organization to be exerted in the production of moderate crops to be sold as demanded at such reasonable prices that farmers and manufacturers may both prosner and no incentive given for the development of more cotton lands in other countries. A "trust" that would attempt to maintain 13 cent cotton would result in depriving the south of her natural monopoly. Tem porary mastery of the market and future slavery are what it promises. After proposing to protect cotton with a tariff on the raw product-a protective tax that will benefit the farmer no more than a protective tax on cow peas--Mr. McLaurin suggests taking off the tariff on cotton bagging. But can 'e consistently worship pro tection and free trade? The tax on-bag ging should come off: it is robbery. But we can ask it with better -race by refraining from demanding protection on cotton-a virtue which will not be expensive since the duty would give us no benefit. The tariff on cotton ties and plows and harrows and hoes and spades and trace chains and leather harness and a hundred and one other items for which the farmer pays double, should be reduced to a tariff for-revenue basis. That would help the farmer immensely; and greater would be his profits if a taciff for revenue instead of a tariff for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many were laid on everything that the farmer wears, eats or uses. More than all the speculator combined has the tariff weighed upon the backs of the American farmers. And they must not be induced to believe it can befriend them by putting pennies in one pocket while taking dollars out another. If Mr. McLaurin wishes to be useful to the southern farmer let him desist from this protection. propagandism and devote his efforts to sustaining a co:n mon sense, conservative, business or ganization of the men engaged in the great business of cotton growing.-The State. WHO SHOWS coMMON SENSE? The State, in an editorial, attempts to sneer at the speech of Senator Mc Laurin, and says what we need is "common sense, not aloquence." Mr. McLaurin's views are practically the same presented at rhe New Orleans convention, and received the unani mous endorsement of that great body. They have also been commented upon and most heartily approved by such papers as the Times-Democrat and Daily States, of New Orleans, the New York Sun, Journal of Commerce, Char lotte Observer, Review of Reviews and other journals of that type, and it was reserved for the editor of The State to point out their lack of "common sense." The truth of the matter is when o.ne reads Mr. McLaurin's speech here and at New Orleans, and then the editorial of The State, he cannot but conclude that the writer of the latter needs a few lessons in economics. He says, Mr. McLaurin argnied against the law of supply and demand, when, as a mat ter of faet, he was pointing out that the cotton planters were deprived of sup ply and demand, and contending that the only permanent solution of the cot ton problem is to increase the demand for cotton goods. The State's position is that the only solution is to curtail production of raw cotton. Mr. McLau rin says this is only a temporary expe dient, that it may meet the immediate situation, but that it cripples the mills, decreases the consumption of cotton goods, while stimulating an increase in the production of raw cotton elsewhere. We leave it to any fair critic, to say which is the common sense position. Mr. McLaurin says, supply the mills with all the cotton they need at a rea sonable profit, manfacturje it into goods, sell these goods abroad, create a great er demand, then when prices go up the advance will be stable, not depen, dent on artificial under-production, but upon increased consumption. Who shows the common sense? As to the tariff, Mr. McLaurin says. the wheat farmer is protected 25 cents per bushel from importations of wheat from Canada and -the Argentine. If they could bring this in and break prices in the United States they would break prices all over the world. He says do the same for the cotton planter, enable him to hold his market like the wheat planter does. The State sags, "Oh, no; that is not Democratic; let them bring all the cot ton of the world here; let them borrow cotton that has been sold once in Eu rope and bring it back here and sell it again, break the market and buy the planter's cotton cheap.".. Which is the common sense position? If the wheat farmers are protected against the ravages of bear speculators who were getting their wheat at 50 cents, why is not the cotton farmer en titled to the same. The State says that only a few hnn dred bales were shipped back here from Europe. There was 8,000 bales shipped at one time, and there was over a million bales in Europe. and the threat was made to ship it all back here. The mere threat was sufficient. No bank would advance money to a bull clique in the face of such condi If The State is long on common sense we ask it why, if speculation is to go on, why bull nool in cotton should not have as good a chance as a bull pool in wheat? Why should not Sully, Brown. and Hayne, have the same chances in sustaining prices as Theodore H. Price in depressing them? McLaurin sounded the key note when he said it is "Dixie avenue against Wall street." The fact is that the politicians in this State view with alarm this farmer's organi zation, and they would like to break it up. One who has been repeatedly a a candidate for office, was quite in evi dence at the convention and his sneer in his remarks about "political bum mers and hirelings going arouad organ izing the people" sounded very much like the old days when the farmers' movement was in its infancy. This is a wider, broader movement than the old farmers' movement, and it will succeed just as surely, but upon broad, national lines. The people are awake and valuing men and things at their true worth. IEONSISTEN~CY OF DEMOCRATS. The scramble for the Federal Judgeship is something fierce. E~ven since there was a prospect for Congress to create a judge ship for the Western District of this State, it has been disgusting o watch the antics of the anxious Democratic la w y e r s crawling under each other to each President Roosevelt for the appointment. It will be re membered how Senator Mc Laurin was abused by the poli ticians when he secured appoint white men, how they swore they; would not lower their manhood! by accepting position from 6 Re publican President, and now some of these same fellows have been haunting the White House begging President Roosevelt hard and frequent for the judgo ship. It only goes to prove that the tirade of abuse heaped upon McLaurin was nothing but a lot of hypocrisy to deceive the voters. We honestly believe, if Presi dent Roosevelt was to give it out that he would only appoint a Republican to this positicin, some of those seeking the place would, if they thought it would! land them, renounce Democracy and embrace republicanism, so anxious are they for office. The indications are, however, that that if an appointment is made a Republican will get it, and we believe the plum will fall into the lap of Captain John G. Ca pers, whose ability is unquestion ed, and who has rendered the Republican party great service in this and other States. He is a South Carolinian, thoroughly identified with the pfople, and even in the Democratic party he has many friends who admire him for his pluck and energy. THE GOVERNOR IS RIGHT. We have~ been waiting to see what effect Governor Heyward's opinion about the need of two parties in South Carolina would have, but so far nothing has come of it, the opinion has been allowed to go with little or no comment. Whether this being the Governor's second term has anything to do with the silence we do not know, but we believe had he expressed such views before his second election the political hounds would have gotten on his trail, and they would have nosed every politi cal wood-pile in search of the There is not the slightest doubt if South Carolina had two good strong parties things would be better,.,men would take more interest in the affairs of the government; as it is now, mat ters political have reached the stage where men who entertaim independent views, or who have the honestly to speak truly, can not if they wish, bs elected to public office, and the consequence of this state of affairs is that sharp practice rather than hon-; est ability govern. We haves for years advocated the election of men to office on1 learly defined issues but the politicians would not have it so, because if the people are per mitted to consider men and measures not dictated by the machine, the jig is up with the professional politician and his avocation is gone. Besides two strong -parties would prevent stagnation, one would be a check upon the other. intelligence and not passion would control. $100 Reward, $100.

Editor The Manning Times: Sometime last year a library fund was started in Manning, and I believe you was the promoter of it by offering to be one of the ten to donate the first one hundred dollars. The amount was soon raised, and another $100 followed, even with more money. Now I not ice in your paper the chil dren, of the late Moses and Hannah Levi have honored .their father and mother by donating $1,000 for the same purpose. These noble gets are very highly commended by our citizens and everybody is considering how to best conduct the library, where it should be located, what books it shall contain, and rules to govern the same. Various plans are suggested. En my humble opinion,' the funds so thoughtfully do nated, together with what is on hand, is not sufficient to establish a perma nent library in keeping with the pro gressive sptrit of this town. There. should be something done by our cit zens to show that the gift to our public institution is appreciated.d I would suggest that $1,000 be, raised to erect a suitable building for the Hannah Levi Memorial Library, one that will be a monument to the honored one. To raise this $1,000, I will sub scribe $25. with the -first twenty citi zens, and $10. with the next fifty, and if 1,000 will not raise 'enough for a suitable building the Town Council should appropriate $500 more, and if Council will not do this I will be one of one hun,dred citizens to contribute the 500. When two~or more persons have subscribed towards raising the first 900 for the fund, if they will call at my store, a treasurer wili be selected to take charge of all the contributions, un til the whole sum is subscribed, and he will then turn same over to the trustees.
