f' [ffii GRAFTJRIALS Bepn h Cotaabia With tke Case Against Janes Farm > HOW WYIJE WAS CAUGHT The Cashier of the Chester Bank Marked a One Hundred Bill Tendered Henry Samuels In Payment of Draft and it Was Returned for , l?e|K>sit by Wylic. The trial of the alleged dispensary gratters commenced in Columbia Tuesday morning. The first case called was that of James Farnuui, which was somewhat sensational. Declaring that out of Idle curiosity he had marked one of the hundrel uollar billy tendered Henry Samuels, in payment of a draft September 15. 1906, and that this bill was returned for deposit by J. B. Wylle, along with bills to the amount of $1,120, Robert Uage, cashier of the Commercial Dank, of Chester, witness for the State in the case, sprang the first sensation of the alleged graft trials in the Court of Sessions. The State announced before calling Mr. Gage to the stand that it would connect this testimony with the accused. This transaction is in line with the charge in the indictment that the defendant sent Samuels the draft for $1,120 to be paid to J. B. Wylie, who was then a member of the State board of control. The testimony of Mr. Gage was the most important of the opening day's happenings in the case of the State against Parnum. Robert Gage, cashier of the Commercial Bank of Chester, was put on the stand by the State, and made a good witness. He recalled cashing a draft on September 15, 1906. for Henry Samuels. The ledger showing the transaction was produced, and after objection by defence that ground had not been laid for introduction of secondary evidence. Mr. Gage was allowed to testify to what he knew. He stated that h< gave Mr. Samuels $1,125 for th?> draft. "What did Mr. Snmuels do with it?" asked Mr. Abney. "He gnve part of it to Mr. Wylie.'* "How do you know that?" "Out of idle curiosity, I marked a *100 hill, the lower hill of the $100 bills I gave him." The package I got from the safe contained ten hundred dollar bills. I had a red pen behind my ear. I marked the lower bill. That aTternoon or the following day. Mr. Wylie deposited $1,020 with me. The marked bill was in the number." Mr. Gage was aKked what made him take this course, and he replied that he had had an argument about the matter, and that ho thought Mr. Wylie was getting something, but this testimony was ruled out.

Suspected Party, Former Barber at Rosemary, Has Escaped?Police Are Exercised Over the Mystery. A dispatch from Georgetown says the mystery concerning the identity of the white man who was found floating in the Samplt River some three weeks ago, has had some light thrown upon it by a letter received i by Capt. Hale, of the Clyde Steamship Navahoe, from a Mrs. Morrison, of Newark, N. J., who ctates that a man answering the description of tin man who was found, had accompanied herself and companion from Wilmington, N. C., to Georgetown, on the steamer. Her companion was a veteran of the civil war. a member of the crew of the Harvest Moon, of Farragut'3 fleet, which was blown up by a torpedo and sunk in Winyah Bay. The old soldier made the trip to Georgetown for the purpose of viewing the remains of the old ship, a portion of which Is still above water, a monument to tho failure of the Federal gunboats to enter Georgetown harlK>r. The party went to Georgetown, spent the while the ship was In port 'n viewing the sights, and together expected to return North. Tho stranger did not show up aboard 'he stenmer when she sailed, but a man named Hiram Newman, who stated that he had formerly been a '?arl>er at Rosemary, took passage 'nr New York, telling the captain that the missing man had .spent fhe previous night with him, and sent word that he was not ready to leave: that he would join the ship at Wilmington. It is reported now that there were some suspicious circumstances attending the case. The neck of the Irowned man was swollen abnormally. and there were purple marks ?hout the throat that might denote -lossihle strangulation. On board the hip It was noticed that the man rar ied a small wallet with money In :t. He was known to have had at least $60 upon his person. Only ? few pennies were found upon the nerson of the wronged man; therefore. it is possible that the man was robbed and murdered, and the body thrown overboard. At the coroner's inquest a tho-augh examination was not made as n whether death occurred by drowning or not, bet the verdict was tofit the decease 1 came to his death t * Irownlng. It is furtier stated by he captain of the steamer, Tiur-oughs, that on the Wednesday night nVe?ceding the departure of the Clyde ?tenmer he heard loud voices and aursing from a row l>oat In the river, vith sounds of an evident struggle \mong the occupants. He supposed 't to be a midnight revel of a boatload of sailors, and paid no particular ittention. The satehell belonging to the miss'ng man is in posses.-ion of the Clyde '.ine officials. There is nothing in it to assist in the identification of the party except a memorandum book Inscribed as follows: "From Agnes W. Johnson, 23G Thirty-ninth street. *o my Uncle Albert." A program >f some celebration in Philadelphia was also found therein. The name of the missing man was not mentioned in Mrs. Morrison's letter. Woman l>ie* of Pellagra. Mrs. Iluena Dink Ins died at Char'otte. N. C.. Monday morning of pel'agra, the eighth victim of the disuse since Its presence was anuounc d in that community.

Comment ou the New Haven Regie* (cp'n Generous Reply to The News JJ and Courier's Challenge. A short time ago It was announc- y, ed that the State of MIssIbsIddI waa i preparing to present a statute of Jefferson Davis to the Statuary Hall in Washington as one of the great MIssissippians entitled to a place In that Temple of Fame, says the Now Orleans States. Some of the newspapers of the South, however, ex- tl pressed the opinion that this step hi should come from Kentucky. the w native State of both Jefferson and 1> Abraham Lincoln, which, it was said, t? contemplated presenting together fi the statutes of her two most illus- w trlous sous. In commenting on the ni project to give the President of the h Southern Confederacy a place in Stat- w nary Hall. The Charleston News and n Courier took occasion to express sur- ti prise at the silence of the Rochester, E N. Y.. Democrat and Chronicle and also the fact that it had failed to W say something very ugly about the J< matter. tl The remarks of The News and p Courier were In the nature of a chal- g lenge. which has been accepted by tl the New Haven Register with the g declaration that there is something Si to ^ay about Jefferson Davis and his p admission to the National Temple t< of Fame, and it should be said. It o is high time, the Register asserts, tl that "the mist which fc half a cer.- w tury has distorted the North's view w of this son of the South should be h e'eared away," and that the man who f< in his day suffered more thau ?ny o other Southerner for the cause in o which he believed, should "cease to a be reckoned a coward and a traitor u and esteemed for whnt he o'-iu? > n brave, true Southern gentleman." si To this statement the New Haven fi Register adds the following eloquen' e tribute to Mr. Davis: "But the South will never cea.rc S to admire and honor the man of w iron nerve, of dauntless courage, of s ceaseless loyalty, of unsullied honor, t< of tireless energy, of peerless chiv- ii airy, who suffered and dared and h all but died for the cause he loved w and lost. Of that host of true men t who gave their best and their all fi for the Confederacy because in their e deepest hearts they believed they ii were doing right, none were more d sincere than he. Of that multitude si who lined up for the struggle against n their brothers of the North, none si was braver and none was nobler. I His sacrifice was as extreme as it T was sincere, and his treatment by tl the victors after the crash came was tl sore medicine for a heart that was o breaking. w "It is a century and a year since Jefferson Davis was born. U 'Is ii near to half a century since his cause h was lost. It is twenty years since r his death. What better time could ii there be to signify, by the placing o of his statute in the Nation's Capitol, p that in the blood of brothers shed a the Union is forever cemented on ei a foundation that standeth sure, tl There let his presentment stand, h erect, noble, commanding, impres- h sive, as he stood In the days when T he was master of the destinies of c< half a nation. Let it there remind a nn- r?uu111 uini ii was mistaken and a the North that It misunderstood. Ret a it pleturo a martyr to a cause that 01 though lost, was not wholly in vain, since it taught brothers to appreci- ai ate a relationship they were in dang- '1 er of forgetting." hi Twenty-live years ago it would tr have been dangerous for a New If England newspaper to pay such a hi tribute to the memory of the great tr martyr of the Cost Cause, and it T indicates what, tremendous strides <m have been taken toward a complete- fc ly reunited country In little more w than a couple of decades. We are aj in perfect agreement with the state- ti ment of The News and Courier that W "nothing finer than that has been b< lone on either side of the old line to of sectional feeling and sectional distrust." It will be vastly pleasing to Ci the people of the South, because it a was so unexpected and so magnifl- al cently generous and patriotic. Rut tr there is a lesson to be learned from ai the tribute, and that Is the honest- th hearted people of New England are to today appreciating the noble charao- ht ter and great worth of Jefferson da- lit vis, and they have the manly cour- Ci age to do him the Justice which his it been so long denied him by those hs who possess neither the sense of rigll hs nor the sense of justice. in MACON MERCHANT MURDERED, pe o\i Rlood-St nined Room of Aged Man ,n th Tells of Struggle. an CO At Macon.

JIVK8 THK FARMER A CHANCE FOB OOOD PROFITS. X. II. Thompsoa, IYm, of tho New Orleans Cotton Exchange, Discusses the Outlook Interestingly. Mr. \V. B. Thompson, president >f the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, iafl sent out a most Interesting let:er. oa the cotton outlook. He says :he record of the 1D09 crop will con- | itttute an important chapter in cot- ! ' rxn hlofrvetr A 4 .. owi;. n muuvrnie crop cer-] :alnly, a dangerously short crop prob- 1 *bly, and a wholly inadequate crop possibly. Is coming to meet a demand which could be satisfied only by the greatest crop that was ever grown, fhis conjunction of an overwhelming need with insufficient supplies is Traught with tremendous possibilities for profit or loss of profit to the producer and of menace to the cotton industry. Whether the Issue from this crisis shall be fortunate or unfortunate, whether the producer shall realize his rightful profit, or shall fall to use or misuse his present advantage, and whether the spinning industry shall go through this year of shortage with the minimum of inconvenience or the maximum of demoralization, will depend upon one important particular, namely: the distribution of the crop. With tho producer and those who help him abides the power to regulate the distribution and to shape the result. It is a large advantage thus possessed and a grave responsibility thus entailed. If the power Is employed unwisely, or wasted In spasmodic efforts to "squeeze" the buyers up to a predetermined price, not only will the producer fail to realize be maximum of the present benefit, but he will help to cripple the manufacturing Industry and curtail its canacttv for future consumption. If the power is left unused, and he producer, dazzled by the present unexpectedly high prices, rushes his cotton to market, he will inaugurate a movement which snnsequent produce can not arrest, and will reneat the time-old mistakes of selling the hulk oi his crop at the time when the price is at the lowest of the year. If the power is eniploved wisely, the producer will distribute the supply of cotton as evenly as possible over the year, and thus realize for his entire crop the highest price that an eager demand can pay, and at the same time keep the demand presently active and keen for future supplies. In other and more fruitful years when the yield has been great and ithe demand .relatively pmall, ghe farmer has been compelled to accept for his crop whatever he could get. even though the fire turn was less than the cost of production. When he complained at his lot, he has been reminded by opulent philosophers, that price is regulated by the law of supply and demand, and thnt if he made more cotton than was needed, he must bear the burden. In this suggestion there is truth. H?it a good rule must work both ways. The law of supply and demand must be permitted to work for the farmer as well as against him. If he has to accept a low price when he makes too much, he should receive a correspondingly high price when he makes too little. If the consumer profits by over-production the farmer should profit, by ovcrietnand. There is no divine right in the consumer to always make the profit, nor te there any justice in the ipparently generally entertained expectation that the producer must always sustain the loss. If it should so fall out that the spinner has 'to pay ty>r the raw naterial a price so high that his season will he unprofitable, it is to >o regretted, but the misfortune is 10 greater than that of thn farmer vho has to soil for flip cost of proluctlon. If such loss is to bo susained this yoar It should not fall ipon the farmer; nor will It so fall f ho will but exercise the same pruionce in selling his crop that he uses u buying his clothes. He buys his dothes when ho needs them and ha* he price; he should sell his cotton vhen the other man needs it, and ias the price. Efforts have been made to adrance prices by covenants to withlold cotton from the market until in agreed figure should be reached. These efforts have not been successul. although they have had the efect at time of restricting offerings ind to some extent relieving the treasure. Hut there are in this plan wo fundamental defects. The first s, that it can not be fully accomdished. and the second is, that if t could be fully accomplished, it rould automatically defeat its own hi r pose. The farmer can not hold all his otton from the start; but if he ould and prices were forced to the tlpulatnd figure. at that instant here iiould be such an avalanche f cotton for sale, that the reaction mold be a? swift as the advance was edioiis.

There la a system of marketing the crop which is not only feasible, but which would accomplish Its equitable purpose unerringly and without fall. By this system of marketing, the law of supply and demand would, in unhampered operation. fix the , I price. The spinner would pay, and the farmer would receive, the natural value of the crop. It is good not only for this year, but for all years. Plans based upon general agreements have failed because, in the first place, it has not been pos- j sible to secure the convenant of all ' planters, and, in the second place, because self-interests placed a preI mium upon the breaking of the agreement. The plan in view is not dependent upon covenant or agree' ment, but is self-executory, the mainspring of its operation being selfinterest. j It will profit the men who use it, even though others do not use it. It is simple, but effective, and Is this: Let the producer of cotton market ten per cent of his crop each month for ten months. An instant of reflection will convince any thoughtful man that whether the crop so marketed be large or small, aud whether , a hundred planters or a hundred thousand employ the method, the result will be better than If the crop was sold at once, or the attempt made to hold It nil. If the plan is good for one planter, it Is good for all, and If all, or any great number of planters adopt it, the problem of marketing the crop is solved. But It will be objected to by some that thn farmers' needs are too pressing and that he cannot meet his obligation by selling ten per cent of his crop in September, ten per cent ia October and to on. Alone and unaided he can come nearer doing this now than he could heretofore, because he has made this crop on a more economical basis than ever before and owes less. After this year it will be easier still, became he has himself largely made his staple supplies for another year and ' because in the near future ho will | have a great central public warehouse in which he will lie able to t borrow money at a very low rate of Interest. But even now the farmer Is not alone in the fight. Every banker and merchant and landowner in the South ir, or should he. with him. If the cotton crop could be marketed evenly through ten months, instead of unevenly in three or four, bnnk stocks would enhauee in value, the merchants business would expand and become more profitable; lands would yield more in rental and in sales, and the South would receive each year the addition of many millions of dollars to its wealth. DANCERS OF WESTERN CORN. Its I'sc May be the Cause of Pellngra in the South. The Augusta IleraUl very wisely sums up the matter of Western corn and its results as a food for man and beast. The Herald says it is not in corn that donger lurks, but) in Western corn. The reason for thiH Is clear. Western corn does not fully mature before the season ends. Frost falls upon it before the kernels are hardened and the cob is dry. In this condition it Is gathered and housed or stacked.

That is to use only Southern grown corn either for making corn bread or to feed to the horses. And an Atlanta case may show that grits ground in the North should also be excluded.
