DILLON, 8. C., NOV. 0, 1911. j
Of course it will be an easy matter
for that town in Williamsburg
county named Taft to change its
name to Wilson after next November.
In the year of grace 1909 Hayne,
Patten and eome other bull leaders
were indicted in the Federal
courts because it was alleged they
"conspired together" and formed a
pool that forced the price of cotton
up to a point so far above the |
cost of production that the "business
interests" of the country were
most seriously affected or in other
words that they had "formed a
conspiracy in restraint of trade,"
etc. Now in the year of grace 1911
the bear leaders in New York have
"conspired together" and formed a
clique that has forced the price of
--cotton down to a point below the
cost of production, but strange to
say no indictments have been handed
out from Wickersham's office.
If it is a crime to force the price
of cotton up it should be a still
greater crime to force It down. In
the face of present conditions Wick-1
ersham should either dismiss the in-;
dictments against Hayne, Patten and!
other^ or he should promptly issue
indictments for every broker in the
country who is selling cotton for
future delivery. The proposition
is squarely up to Wickersham.
A Pee Dee man whose name is
not given to the public advises the
farmers of the South to buy cotton i
futures and not to plant an acre of
cotton next year. We do not be-'
lieve in any form of gambling, but
rderely as a means of testing that j
oft repeated aphorism about the j
price of a commodity being controlled
by the law of supply and de- J
naud we should like to see the experiment
tried. If three-fourths of
the cotion farmers would adopt this
suggest ion the chances are that not
only the New York Cotton Exchange,
but Wall street as well,
would go into bankruptcy. No
doubt this would bring about a
great calamity, but we would be
willing to go hungry and half clothed
for a year or two to have the
pleasure of witnessing a general
shaking up of certain interests that
seem to take a' delight in catching
the farmer by the nape of the neck
and shaking the life out of him
every time the opportunity presents
itself. It will take something
Hke a financial earthquake to
wrest the money power from Wall
street, hut if such violent measures
are necessary to bring about a more
even distribution of the country's
wealth, then the next "Black Frlwhich
the country has been
expecting for the past several years
may not be without its blessings after
all.
When the price of cotton is low
everybody has a word of advice to
offer the farmer, but somehow the
plan of that Mr. Hart, representing
the English spinners, as presented
to a body of farmers and merchants
at a meeting in Atlanta the other
day. appeals to us. Briefly. Mr.!
Hart's plan is to eliminate the middleman's
profit in the export business
by the establishment of agencies
in European cities, thus enabling
the Southern farmers to deal
directly with English spinners. Mr.
Hart says cotton is sold six times
unnecessarily before it reaches the
English spinners and every sale
rakes off a profit that Is paid by
the Southern farmer. The late Warren
George who advocated this
plan and was enterprising enough
to make a personal visit to Liverpool
and arrange for the shipment
of cotton direct to the European
spinner, was only 10 years ahead
of his time. The time is coming
when the local buyer can load his
cotton at any shipping point in the
South and get a bill of lading
to Europe. Not only does the farmer
lose the middleman's profits under
the present arrangement, but
he loses also in weight and grades.
Every bale of cotton handled by
the American exporter is carefully
graded before it goes into a ship's
hold and the person who has never
given this feature of the cotton
business close attention would he
surprised to know how much money
the South loses every year in the
difference between the low averages
at the local markets and the high
averages at the exporting places.
This is one line of the cotton business
which seems to have escaped
the attention of the farmers' unions
altogether.

the Indications are that John
P. Grace has been nominated for
mayor of Charleston, while it 's
practically certain that Vincent
Chicco, known as the "King of
Blind Tigers," has been nominated
as a member of the board of aldermen.
We cannot sympathize
with our Charleston friends for
the reason that when the safety of
the S:ate was at stake in the gubernatorial
race last year they persisted
in maintaining an attitude
of indifference as to how things
went and permitted an undesirable
element to get control of their lo

Read What the Press Says.
A. G. Allen's big ministrels were
in the city last night and with the
labor crowd running loose, eager
for amusement, the audience last
sight could not be accommodated.
Thousands of people, white and colored
were turned away from the
door because of the overcrowding
of the large tent. It was estimated
that 3,500 people were in the
audience, and 1,500 or 2,000 more
were turned away.
The performance was free from
all objectionable features and those
who paid the small admission fee
seemed more than satisfied, if one!
might judge from the uproarous'
laughter and applause which greet- i
ed the actors throughout the even- j
ing.
The program consisted of the j
usual first part, followed by buck <
and wing dancing monologues, I
banjo playing, contortionist work,
etc. Taken all in all the show
could be recommended as a clean,
wholesome, boisterous production.
