MKfWy 3fiEW THEY FEEL BLUE. Republicans Are Afraid That Taft Will Be Defeated. THEY ARE WORRIED. Bren President Roosevelt Thinks His Man's Election is Doubtful?Record of Congress Fur From Satisfactory to the Majority Party, and Republicans Are Anxious. A Washington Letter to the Charleston Post says the Republicans I iu vuugrm are m a bad humor. Things legislative und political have not broken well for them during the last winter. They are disappointed and anxious, and the leaders arc trying to foist tho responsibility for existing conditions from one to another. Many blame President Roosevelt. The President, on the other hand, blames the Congress. No doubt exists that the Republicans are concerned over the Presidential and Congressional elections that are to take place next autumn They are not scared, but the facl that the legislative program whicli was recommended by tho President has not been carried out leads tc the belief that something may happen during the approaching campaign. An apprehension 1b felt that Secretary Taft, if nominated for the Presidency. may be defeated. The realisation is that Taft will be nominated; and It is not going too far to say that the Republicans, in and out ol Congress who Jiave carefully gone over the situation, are fearful of the result. President Roosevelt regards Taft'! nomination as a foregone conclusion Ho, too, entertains some misgiving! about the result next November, bu he lays the blame for the conditior that may oring about such n resul at the door of Congress. He point! to the fact that the leaders in tin two branches of Congress have taker this year to settle some old scorei with him. There is no doubt ol that fact. With an assurance tha Roosevelt would succeed himself Congress undoubtedly would havt treated his recommendations wit I greater consideration during th< last winter. It was taken for grant ed, however, that he was to retln early next year, and the Congress hai played horse with him. More bitterness of feeling than evei before has been created between tin House and tho Senate. Criinlna tlonn and recriminations have beei made by the one branch and by th< other. Speaker Cannon has beer charged with all sorts of things b: the Senate and the leaders among th< Republicans of the Senate have beer charged with ignoring the public wil and standing only for their own sel fish desires Thus, n serious condition of politi cal affairs has been created. Gen erally, it is believed that Tuft am Bryan will be the opposing candi dates. A short time ago, it was ex pected that the Republican candi date would have practically a walk over at the election, but in the las month there has been a notable chnn ge in sentiment. Among both Re publicans and Democrats it is con ceded that Bryan has a strong chanct of winning this year. Some Repuhil cans even are pessimistic about th< November results if Taft bo nonil nated. Tt Is realized that there wil be a spirited contest with the resul much in doubt. It Is ^prfectiy evident that the Re pnh)!c?n physicians have not beei able this year to prepare the countr; for the great operation next fall. Ii a speech on the financial measure i few days ago, Senator "Bob" Taylor of Tennessee, told this signitlcan story: "I am confident that before the Re publican flnancinl physicians ge through with the Job they will hav< the country in the condition o the old man in my State who wa: very sick. The doctor examined hln and said: Old man, you are dying have you any wish to express before you pass over the river?" "Yes," whispdred the feeble old man. "1 wish I liad got another doctor." * * A Home-Mude Refrigerator.

I I THE COTTON PROBLEN NOT TOO LATE TO REDUCE TH1 ACREAGE. Tho Farmers iluion Advising It Members to Plough Up Cotton an Plant Grain. I The Farmers Unio*- Is advising il members to plow up 25 per cent, c their cotton just planted and put th same land In oth*?r crops. This 1 the only effective way to get u pr< fitable price next fall and the Unlo will push the plan to the utmost. Tli effect of this action on the preset crop yet In the farmers huuds woul i be instaneous. The Carolina Unlc i Farmer has the following to say c , this subject: i The plun to remove the possibilil i of low-priced cotton is simple, pra 1 tlcal and effective. It is simply I i go into your fields and plow up given amount of cotton aud plai the land in peas, corn or some fo age crop. This will cause a Chun* ' of your plans, you say? Of course will, but the change is absolutely n cessary to win your fight. \ u can afford to follow an uncertain at i foolish plan in this contest, whe . there is a sure and certain way. Yc t can't compete successfully with tl i cunning brain of the gamblers wit] t out using your own brain and bus ? ncss sense. The way to defeat i i enemy is to deceive and surprise lil* As a plan for winning this fight ft - the pric<Lof cotton.lt is better to plo up the cotton already planted, tin to have reduced the acreage to th extent at the beginning. This nctk r taken now is at a time when it f too laie for the Southern fools ai traitors to increase their coton a ' reago, as they would have done, this action had ben taken earlier ' the season. It will not only defe . those who would be disposed to a 3 the traitor, but it will attack tl t gamblers' stronghold in a place lea i expected, and their defeat will I t inevitable. 3 It is a fact sustained hv his ?tr? i and by trade conditions that a te 1 million bale nop of cotton will brii s more money in the aggregate th; f a 15.000.000 bale crop. We ure t business organization and as such \ . must learn business ways from bus ? ness, men if we succeed. When tl i manufacturers find that they are n ? Retting as big profit on their gooi - as they want, they meet in organizi ; "shut down" until the price advance i Inasmuch as the manufacturers ha decided to "shut down" rather th: r pay the Minimum Price for cotton, i is putting into practice tho best kit - of business sense for farmers to d l cidc to "shut down" by plowing i i a part of their cotton crop. t By plowing up a portion of tl 7 cotton crop the benefit will come ? us in a twofold way. It will cau l the price of cotton to advance to 1 point where the acres that are left - cotton will bring more money th: the whole would have brought. Thei - fore, whatever crop we raise on t - land where we plow up a certa 1 amount of cotton, that crop will r - present a clear profit over and abo - what we would have otherwise ha - iu the windup.

B From Information received by their relatives in Pensacola, Fla., it is believed that four Greeks, two of whom are young girls, and six of the crew s have been lost in the wreck of the Greeks steamship Cycladus, which ^ went aground and sank off Bahama Islands, May 11. The four passengers on the vessel took passage at ts Pensacola, intending to go to Ge>f noa. and there secure passage to visit le relatives in Greece. The Cycladu's Is left Pensacola aiter taking a part of ) a cargo, and went to New Orleans, n where she filled out for Genoa. When ic ofT the Bahama Islands, from inlt formation received here, she went on d a reef and later sank. The crew and m four Pensacola passengers got off m safely. The men were short of food supplies. One of the boats, the ty largest, has reached Nassau, N. P., c- and this contained the captain and to fifteen members of the crew. The a other boat, which contained six of it the crew and the four passengers, r- has not been heard from. It is fearte ed that the smaller of the boats has it been swamped. e t BOTH LEGS CTUSHED. id sn A Sumter Colored- .Man Meets With iu ie Vnfortiinate Accident.

Both of his legs, just below the knees, were so badly crush>n ed that llier had to be amputated. ^ His chances of recovery are fairly 1( good, but it will require several days c" yet before any definite idea may be " formed. The accident occurred near the water track, on a frog switch, and ,lt it Is said that Howry was sitting down on the track and. that one of lu bis feet became wedged in the frog and that he eould not get his foot 1)0 out in time to get out of the way. ry FIVE THOUSAND PObLAltS SHOUT u-| That's Why a Florence >lan Left til a Monte Some Mays Ago. ve jj.

John Johnson, of Minnesota, should learn something more about the political conditions of this country before he comes forward again u' as a candidate for the Presidency. According to an Associated Press report of an interview with him at l> Norfolk on Saturday, Gov. Johnson, *? i.t the course of a general denuncia.? tion of the Crumpackor bill for ret duction of the South's representaL> tion in Congress said he did not be" lieve the President would sign such i a measure should it pass Congress and he believed it would cause the <e aeieat ot Secretary Taft. "That IC measure," said Gov. Johnson, "will (( array the solid South against Mr. ,8 Taft." In commenting on this had 10 break on the part of Governor Johnis son the Charleston Post asks "what is ? the 'Solid South' if it is not a fixed J and immovable opposition to Mr. i Taft or any other Republican candi11 date for President? Why should e the passage of the Crumpacker 'j amendment have any effect on the ? Republican candidate's standing in . the South? The Minnesota Governor knows the conditions in the South so little that it would never do to com8 mit their guardianship to him." () Every word the Post says is true, but * what could we expect from a man s who knows nothing about us or our 1 politics.

' The News and Courier is a politi I cal dreamer. It still contends that . a ma.ior.ty of the people of South .

SERVANT PROBLEM. ] EXGLKH GIltLS TO BE U8E1) TO SOLVE IT. * 1 The State Inimigriit ion Bureau Entering Upon uii Experiment of Great Interest to the State. , A letter from Columbia to The 1 News and Courier says in the ex- ' pertinent which Commissioner Wat- 1 son has started of substituting a 1 high type of English-speaking house- 1 hold servant girl for the negro servant girl he is convinced both from employers and the girls themselves 1 that he has finally laid the foundation for a successful, practical solution of the vexed negro servant problem in this State, and if the experiment proves a success here it will be "a go" throughout the South. After repeated failures during four years' hard work the commission is now satisfied that success is at hand. The first experiments along this line were with foreign-speaking i?eo pie, and In every case this proved a failure. These are the kind of foreign servants that are being placed to 1 a large extent in the North. Commissioner Watson then concluded that this section would have to have a higher type than is used in the North in order to supplant the negro, who is daily growing more useless exacting and that the new servants must speak English. He was further persuaded that the newcomers in order to be satisfied tnemselves and render satisfactory service would have to be ih touch with the other members of their families, so as to give the home touch and alleviate the social alienation which had made other experiments with English-speaking , girls fail tires. Accordingly j?ei sistent, energetic work was carried on in the desirable farm section of England with literature, lectures and personally conducted tours with big vans. The thirty-three English people brought here less than a month ago , and located in and around Columbia, Edgefield, Abbeville, (Jreenville and elsewhere in the State, have all written letters to the department expressing satisfaction, and every girl so located has written letters through the department to friends and relatives abroad, urging them to come on to South Carolina and live. FARMERS' HOI.I) YOUR COTTON. Advice (liven by Mr. Harris, President of the Union. President Harris of the State Far, tilers' union has issued the following circular to the 25,000 members of the order in this State: "Cotton has advanced $7.50 per bale . in 10 days and if we will hold to it. and not be influenced to sell, it will In the next 10 days make the same . advance and the minimum will ho reached. Remember the 1907 crop is 4,500.000 hales short. This makes cotton SCll ! < ?? tint aimixrl, f ..v, V VMW Ugll IUI LUIIsumption. Crop conditions the lowest in 2 0 years. "On the 24th, Texas and Oklahoma were visited by the most destructive flood that has evcrr been known. "May 10th, our national rpesident, C. S. Barrett, issued a circular letter, asking the union men to plow up 10 per cent, of the cotton planted and put it in food crops. One million acres has been reported plowed up. This looks as if the boys mean business and will stand behind their guns. "Do not listen to those who tell you to sell, it is going lower, when they know it will go upward by June. "l)o not forget that corn is $1.10 per bushel and plenty of time to plant yet. Well filled corn cribs and smoke houses will always make cotton bring the minimum price. "Both the European and American mills are about out of cotton, so hold to your spots and get the minimum price." VOTES OUT WHISKEY. Xortli Carolina Goes Dry by Forty Thousand Plurality. North Carolina was carried for State prohibition Wednesday by a majority that is estimated at from 40,000. The prohibition ticket carried 78 out of the 98 counties by majorities approximating 4 8,000. The anti-prohibition ticket has 20 counties by majorities approximating 5,000. This calculation is based on some estimates and the prohibition leaders say it. is possible for the prohibition majority to reach 50,000. A dose estimate of the vote would give a prohibition majority of about 45,000. The election passed off very quietly, no disturbances of any moment being reported. The total vote cast in the State was abbout 175,000. Was Xot Sure. ' The opposition to Bryan in the 1 I Democratic Party has now become helpless. Governor Johnson himself, addressing the American Cotton Manufacturers in Richmond, Va , 1 Thursday humorously remarked that , he came South partly to gratify what he supposed to be a cerain cur- < iosity on the part of this section to 1 see and hear him, but since getting | the returns from Alabama and South f Canolina, he was not sure that any such curiosity had ever existed? IN speaking of the coming presi- a dential campaign the Sprinfield Re- ?' publican says "there is going to he a t fight, with Mr. Bryan nominated, ^ which will make the Parker cam- j. paign se^m like the dead march from Saul." This is the opinion of an in- ^ dependent Republican paper publi h- i: ed up in Massachusetts an 1 indicates ' pretty well what the non partisan 11 press of the North thinks of Mr ii Bryan as a candidate. c THE DIVINING ROD. Ho Mysterious Virtues hidden in tl?? Ikwwr's Wimd. Iii experimenting with a divining rod as used for discovering under- ( ground supplies of water one of the ( geologists of the t'nited States Geolo leal Survey found that at points It turned downward Independently of his will, but more complete tests showed that the downward turning resulted from slight and?until watched for-?unconscious changes in the Inclination of his body, the effects of which were communicated through the arms and wrist to the red. No movement of the rod from causes outside the body could he detected, and it soon became obvious that the view he'd by other men of sclen~e is correct that the operation of the "divining rod" is general ij u 11 f 10 unconscious movements of tho body or of the muscles of the hand The experiments made show tl at these movements happen most frequently at places where the operator's experience his h\l liim to believe that water ina\ be found. The uselessncss of the divining rod Is indicated by the facts that the rod ' may be worked at will by the opera- ' tor, that he fails to detect strong ' currents of water running in tunnels > and other channels that afford no surface id?v.ations of water, and that his locations ii. limestone regions where 1 water flows in we'l defined channels are rarely more succssful than those dependent on mere guesses. In fact Its operators are successful only in regiors ir which -round water occurs in a definite sheet in porous material, or 1- more or less clayey deposits. Buch as the pebbly clay or till, in which, although a few failures occur, wells would get water anywhere. Ground water ocuts under certain definite conditions, and as in hum! t regions, a stream may he predicted wherever a valley Is known, so one familiar with rocks and ground watet conditions may predict places where ground water can tie found. No ap pliance either electrical or mechanical. has yet been successfully used tor detecting wate- in places where I'aa. common sense or good guessing . ould not have shown its presenei just as well. The only advantage of employing a "water witch," as 'he operator of the divining rod is sometimes called, is 'hat skilled services rre obtained, most men mi employed being keener and heMer observers of the occurrence and movements of ground water than the average person Scientific American.

In the Southern Presbyterian Assembly, now in session at Greensboro, N. C., the following resolution on evangelistic work was presented on Wednesday tin.ruing by Rev. Dr. A. A. Little: "W wreas, we believe that the great nee i of our church is more evangelism i preaching on the part of our pasu t and a more diligent efTort on th part of the church to reach the uneh t ched and unsaved this general asst nibly would urge on all our ministers to seek more and get more of this si it it of prayer for the salvation of > uls and to use more evangelistic t fiorts in the pulpit and out of it t?. bring souls into the kingdom of C >d." This resolution hits the nai on the head, and if it is adopted and acted on it will accomplish grt at good. If the churches were doing their duty there would be no need of such a resolution, but we fear that the churches of ail denominations are too much engrosM d in money getting and oth< r material things to bother with trying to save souls. The greatest preacher that ever lived said in an immortal sermon: "But seek ye first the Kingdom of (lod and his righteousness, and all ?he*e things shali be added to you." Let the churches follow this, and it vill have no need to bother about nor.ey and other material things, as hen pe. pie wilt give without the .iking.
