Statistics taken from the -re ports of the United States gov - ...- .;: that thte Routh can show that the increase in produc tion for the Southern States in corn production was 160,000,000 bushels. Commissioner Watson has made the following estimate: That in the new corn belt the average value per acre of the crop, at prices prevailing De c-:br 1. 1910, is $14.98 against g:s wch s prop Si:.AxXed, t u. v -s of the necu. e :-a t n.O i- adingr show an average net increase in yield per acre this year over 1909 of 1.9 bushels per acre-practi cally two bushels in one year, against a net average decrease for the old corn belt of 1.4 bush els per acre. That every State properly be longing to the new belt shows al substantial increase in yield of corn per acre in 1910 over 1909, West Virginia alone falling be bir.d. That only four out of the 12 States of the eN belt show in creases in yield par acre, all the others shuwing decreases run ning in one instance to as high as 17 bushels. That ir. 1900 the old belt show . farmers~. Tht- the new belt, has jumped from an average yield per acre of than that covered by the new belt. Tht~ the.~ i...d '-rn belt produces la uselstho:times as much cor aas te -. cor belt, on over ..w....te..::... devoted tocorn, ettenew blt gets in cash for, * s ero. o or n- more than one-| prices prevailing Dec. 1, 1910. [ That the average price per bushel in the new belt on Decem ber 1, 1910, was 67.5 cents against an average in the old belt of 44~ cents and 48.8 for the entire Uni- j ted States. .I That corn is not the staple and whole reliance crop of the newt belt, these 12 States raising aside from all other crops many mil lions worth of cotton, the corn modity that niow represents half' of the agricultural exports of the country. I That in the old belt, corn is the! principal crop. That in the new belt the ad vance in wheat growing and pro duction are even more rapid than in thecase of corn. These are some of the reasons ,that will be advanced by the! South Carolina delegation as tok why the next National Corn Show should be brought to Columbia a.nd to the South for the first' time. A press dispatch gives an ac count of a homicide that took plapce in Horry county last Satur day night. It is stated that two 1 twin brothers named Will and Lee Nance, while under the in fluence of liquor, got into a row with a negro boy, became enrag ed when the boy was spirited away from them, and then went I' to the home of a widow where a -party was being held. Whent they entered the house in a bois terous manner, cursing in the ~ presence of the ladies, a son-in-I law of the widow, one Dempsey s Potter, remonstrated with them. r Thereupon Will Nance became more pronounced in his offensive language and advanced on Potter 2 with an open knife, when Potter * fired upon him and killed him al most instantly. The report goes on to say that "the dead mana and his slayer are both married ' and stood well in the-community." It is a matter of conjecture as to what extent the Nance boys wouldi have gone if they had not stood well in the community. Possibly they would have blown the lightsa out and gone to shooting among the ladies first thing. All thej4 other guests should feel grateful ' that they did not have any real toghs to break in amongst them.h Such feats as rising land, sailing over a lighting on the deck and rising from a ship ing back to land, and ing from the surfa. water and safling awt to prove that airships supercede naval vesse millions of dollars. ea;... Hon. Robert E. Copes of Orangeburg, the newly elected Judge of the 1st., circuit, i highly endorsed as to character, learning and ability, though it is stated that he has never prac ticed in the circuit court. Judgce Copes will be the youngest man on the South Carolina bench, being 35 years old. With a practical illustration of the success of the system right there in Columbia, why can't some brainy legislator in troduce a measure providing for putting the whole State of South Carolina under a commission form of goverument? If such a system eliminates extravagance jobbery in cities why not - e it a trial in the State got -ment? 3overnor Blease is entitled to r treatment and to be judged by what he does,. not by what some one assumes that he is capable of doing. Whoever faked that yarn about the gov ernor's writing to Jim Tillman and telling him to get well and come back to be xith him in redeeming South Carolina should humbly confess his de liberate sin and hang his dimin ished head in shame. John W. Dodsworth, editor of the New York Journal of Com merce, as a witness before the House conmittee investigating ship subsidy charges, said be regarded all ship subsidy as graft, but conceded that there are men who honestly support that cause. Mr. Dodsworth, if called upon for an opinion, would no doubt pronounce the pro tective tariff, pensions and all similar schemes as nothing but graft. It is extremely doubtful if any intelligent nan honestly supports any of these robbery schemes. Col. James . H.

He bas many friends who re doing all in their poser to land heir favorite. All of the candidates re good, strong men, and each have a llowing which must be reckoned with, ence it is any body's race un to now, nd all are on the anxious bench. The ~larendon delegation is divided. I am oing to vote ~for Judge Memminger, dessrs Reaves and Richardson for rser, and Mitchum for Mr. Gruber of ~olleon. Mr. Gruber is my second ~hoice. 'There will be but few general laws acted at this session. The general eeliing is to have as little general legis tion as possible, and the only interests rhich will be effected materially will ec the railroads. The Senate railroad ommittee has given favorable reports o several bills, among them being what s known as "the five mile brake" bill. 'his measure has been demanded by rhat is known as the merchants associ. tion, and represented by a Mr. E. ~ampbell. The rail-oads are opposed o it, and claim thatt it will be very amaging to them. It was the original atention of the committee to refer all atters relating to transpor-tationi rates o the railroad commissiota, and with at end in view, invited the commis ion to appear before the committee.. he chairman came but his argument id not afford any enlightenment, but ater tended to confuse, therefore the ommittee decided to send it in to the enate with a favorable report. The >llowing is the text of the bill' A BILL. o Prescribe a Mileage Base for .Mak ing Freight Rates, and to Fix Pen alty, Etc. e it enacted by the General As. sembly of the State of South Caro lina: SECTIONt 1. After thirty days fromi e passage of this Act all railroad ompanies, common carriers, doing< usiness in this State, for all shipmentsi ,d between all points, shall be re uired to provide rates at each and very five miles for distances under 100 iles, and at each and every ten miles< r distances over 100 miles, and to pply the rate at the nearest mileage r distances intermediate to these basesi .

For the first five miles the rate all be 75 per cent of the rate for 10 1 iles, and for each five miles thereafter< tween 10 and 20, and 20 and 30, and ) and 40, and 40 and 50, and 50 and 60. dO60 and 70, and 70 and 80, and 80 d 90, and'90 and 100 miles. theret all be provided rates which shall be 4 .n equal division of the difference in I e rates fixed for these distances. For xample: If the rate is 20 cents at 20 cies and 30 cents at 30 miles, a rate of f E cents would apply at 25 miles. SEC. The South Carolina Railroad 1 ommisslon shall be charged with the djustment and enforcement of the 1 rovision of this Act, and any railroad f ompany found publishing, assessing or llecting charges in violation hereof, i all be liable to a penalty of one hun- t red dollars in each and every case, tot e recovered by any person so aggriev- 1 d, in an action in any courtt of coJmpe-t nt jurisdiction; one-halr of which 1 enalty shall be retained by the par-ty 1 ing therefor, and the other half paid the county in which tho action i9 > ugbt. Here is another bill reported by my mmittee favorably which will; meet th the approval of the public gen ally, and if enforced should make a tTerence in the freight rates. A BILL. Prohibit Dircrimination by Common Carriers in Freight and Express Rates in This State. Be it enacted by the General Assem bly of the State of South Carolina: SEcTIoN 1. That on and after the passage of this Act it shall be unlawful for any railroad company, steamboat or express company. or other common earrier of freight or express in this State, to put into operation or maintain any rate for the transoortation of freight or expres higher than is charged in adjacent or adjoining States for the transportation of similar and like articles under like conditions. SEC. 2. Any railroad, steamboat,or ex press company, or other common car rier. doing business in this State, shall be liable to a penalty of not less than fifty dollars and not more than two hundred dollars for each and every violation of Section 1. of this Act. which shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction of this State, which penalty shall accrue to the State of South Carolina. SEC. 3. It shall be the duty of the Railroad Commission of this State to see that the provisions of Section1 and Section 2 of this Act be enforced. Upon complaint to the Railroad Commission of any consignee, shipper, or other party interested, that Section 1. of this Act is being violated, the said Rail road Commission shall investigate the same, and, if they find such discrimi nation to exist., they shall cause to be instituted legal proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction in this State for the recovery of the penalty provided in Section 2. of this Ae.. LoIris APPELT. Chairman of Cor. Governor Blease is after many re forms and has sent to the general as sembly a number of messages some of which. to use a comn mon expression, are "hot numbers." H- not only used the hatchet upon the many Notaries Public but he has gone after the "winding-up commission" with a vim; his message demanding that the investigators be investigated has caused a sensation. Personallv I cannot believe the con mission has been corrupt, but I do not think the Governor would cast a sus picion upon these men without having information which made him feel it a duty to have an inquiry as to their acts and doings looked inw. There is no doubt that the lawyers employed ma-le stacks of money out of the investigation, and the investigation, if gone into as the Governor directs,will expose wrong doing if there was any, and if there was none. it will forever wipe away the cloud of suspicion which the message of His Excellency may have cast upon them. There shoild be a thorough ex amination niade. eveu if it takes all of the summer. I pei soLally know one of the members of the comnmission, Mr. John McSween, of Timmonsville, have known him ever since he came to the State from Scotland, and I would have to have presented to me the most con vincing proof before I could believe be would knowingly lend himself to any thing which was dishoorable. I know the man as possessing a character above reproach, but should it turn out in the investigation that. the commission did things they had no right to do, I would still believe, so f.tr as John McSween is concerned, that he had no guilty knowl edge but acted upon the advice and in structions of the attorney for the com mission. But my estimate of Mr. Mc Sween's character bas nothing to do with the mntter now. The Governor has called for an investigation, and in so doing he has created a 'suspicion not trustees but hold two otlices in vio lation of the constitution. T do not think as some do that the Governor is after any particular per-son, he, in 'my opinion, would have the constitution respected by the high as well as the low, and in this he is eminently correct. Senator Tillman is a trustee of both Winthrop and Clemson, and if it is di-~ cided that he has no legal right to t il these positions, it will remove fromI tnese beards one of thbe most valuable advisors they have. I do not believe Senator- Tillman or Senator Alan Johu stone, both of whom are life trustees or Clemson, are violating the constitution by holding to the sen-ator-ship and the rusteeship at the same time, for- the reason, these gentlemen were made life trustees of Clemson by the Clemson ill before the constitutional inhibi ion of 1905. If it was lawful for them o hld this tr-usteeship then, it is now, but there are others on the boards who t-e clearly violatingr the provisions of' he constitution. and the Governor pro oses to make them elect which post ion t ney will keep. They must drop ne of them. Governor Blease has cut the ollicial ead off of Thos. E. Miller president of he State negro college, and the reason iven out is that Mil'er was "pernic ously active in politics." If tbis is rue, he was right to put a stop to the eads of our educational institutions labbling in partisan pohtties, this is a niew I have al ways entertained, as will e r-emetmbered by THE TIMES readers when I directed attention to the head f the University of South Carolina naking political speeches around the :ountry in the interest of prohibition:I y position was then, and it is so niow. hat the head of a State educational nstitution injures his influence and I hereby hurts the institution when he - ends himself to partisan politics, and he governor is right, when he gives hese officials to know they must look ut for the interests entrusted to thbem. [iwill ventur-e the opinion that as long I s Blease fills the executive chair theI eads of the State colleges will keepi ff the political grass, and if they do tot they will meet the fate of Miller. I ersonally I regret that Miller is the!s ist to feel the governor's displeasure. Ii e has made a most successful college >resident, and has done a wouder-ful n vork, his political activity could not| ave amounted to a great deal as he is it ,Republican and has no voice in ourtl i >rimaries and because of their high | osition they have an infiuence, which s f used, is calculated to divide the p~eo- I le, and cause estrangements andr amage to the institutions they admin- i ster. There will be no moe of it 1 e eel sure Mr. Mitchumn finally succeeded inI aving his bill relating to the limiting if the income for Clemson college con- s idered, and as I expected, and havei lready in previous letters said it would, a t met its doom. Mr. Mitchum made a a peech defending his bill, and I am told 'J hat he informed the members of the t ~onditions existing in the common c hols, but they have the common s chools with them also, and differed ith the gentlemau from Clarendon, o berefore they made short and swift t secution of Mr. Mitchumn's pet, and it t ow lies snugly bur'ied in the legislative s rave yard along with similatr measures e rhich have from time to time gone be -Ia re. Mr. Mitchum's bill was not alto- 0 ~ether without merit: there were fea- e ures of it in my opinion that were good, e rhile the idea has often been pr-esented a ~efore, nevertheless it does not detract ti om the merit. t The bill relating to relieving the aud- n tr from taking tax returns is now a t ird reading bill in the House, but atia e suggestion of the auditor I got the t ouse delegation to amend the bill so I at the assessors would not be required a > make up an abstract as the original d( il required. 11 Tha-, is before the Senate, with al11 .vm....leO .'r.,, TheaGun License Bill.' I am, in the language of from Anderson, Mr. "agin it" and will fight power I may possess, for another scheme to bed make them pay out mc game wardens, and to de nary citizen from enj. privileges. I am oppose legislation and when tl reached on the calenda the Senate my views wi words, regardless of the bon society seems to bar, majority.

I11. That this Act shall take ef fect immediately on its passage and ap proval by the Governor. I received from rthe clerk of the board >f county commissioners a state'ment of the county's finances, but it is, I am orry to say, not fuil enough ta) give us much information. however it camne too ate for me to go over it with the House rembers, so I shall take it up with them Monday, at which time we w:ill lso consider the recommendations for township assessors and two county comn rn issioners. I have been asiced by what authority he present board of count y comnmission ~rs paid out money from the treasury or the hire of detectives in the liquor ases. I think this question should he aut not to us but wo thbem by the grand iny I know of no law which gives the :ommissioners the right to handle the >ublic money for such a purpowe. and lid not know this was done until I look ul over the report of the c-ommissioners Ld saw where they did pay out, moaey or such a purpose. I was always under be impression the money 'for thre de .etives was raised by privat e subscrip ion. and that not a cent of it came out >f the county funds. The gentlemen ssuming tosee that the liquor laws are mforced did so of their own volition, nauthorized by any special authority >r provision being made to draw upon he treasury for funds, and if they were eimbursed out of the treasury, whieb rom the report seems to be ihe case, it eems to me the comunioaers went ~eyond their right. However, I pre ume the commissioners reached the onclusion that inasmuch as through his band of law upholders (liquor law) here was money put into the treasury, ht it was proper to reimburse t~he self ppointed law defenders for their out y whether there was any authority in aw or not. The blind tigers viohnte the aw, and I reckon the comimissioners hink it alright to violate the law to atch them. If, however, the county is, o pay for detectives then I do think the ommissiorners should ask for and get be authori:.y, and n >t pay out money at he request of individuals wao have een posing as volunteer guardians of he law, creating the implression they rere unselfish in this work, and at their wn ex pense, when in fact, from the last eport of the comnmissioners, tbe county Sdoing the paying. My understanding f the law is thaa the commissioners are ot authorized to pay out money for any urpose which is not specially author eed by law, and when they do they lay hemselves liable to indictment. The nes arising ?rom convictions for the iolations of the liquor law cannot be iverted to gratify the caprices of indli iduals, and they should not be paid to nv source unless the same is provided >r in the law.
