OA«Ul AddrM* to th» Farms torn F>—Idsat B. D. Smith-. Utility Will Brlac •aeoeM. Tbd Southern Cotton aaaoaUUon In an organititlon of, by and for the people. It la not for the few but for the meal, not for the farmer alone but for the merchant, profeaeional man, mechanic and laborer, for every one who makes a living where oottoo grows. The objects sought are manifold and far reaching; among them la the establishment of system both In pro daction and marketing, thereby oreat ing a condition conducive of fair and renumerative prices. To promote manufacturing where cotton grows, to the extent of our own people sell ing the finished product Instead of sending two thirds of our raw mater ial out of the country. But the Imed- late anxiety of the S G A. Is that cotton this year should bri g the far 11 cents per pound, the price set by the association. That the farmers are not getting this price is no proof that the asso elation and other organizations made a mistake In estimating the value of cotton, but It does prove that the as sociation is timely and the work is was created to do Is an Imperative necessity. Its weakness is apparent rather than rsal; its suooess under the cir cumstances Is phenomenal. Without Its powerful Influence cotton to-day would be selling at as low a price as at any time last year. , Never In the history of cotton hasten per cent sur plus blended with a succeeding crop without the price running low till the farmer had sold out. >We are weak In proportion as business men and far mers are unenlisted in our-common cause, and we will grow in strength In proportion as the people in cotton growing communities unite with us In dsfSnse of our own rights snd interests. We have allowed conditions to ob tain that robbed 812 cotton counties annually of 1200.000,000 that rightly belonged to them, and the loss of two cents a pound this year means 1100, 000,000 gone forever, leaving empty store buildings and paralyse# business to that extent.

Bemembeilng the good prices during the early weeks last year and the trap that crippled him, be resol ves to be the early bird, with the re -4 suit that at this year a greater per cent, of the crop Is already marketed that i i any season of the post, and this blended with the shrunken skele ton of .a.-t year's surplus, la SO short a time forms s o- mbination that r Would break down any market, what ever the concomitant conditions might be.

As things have always been, this position of merchant and farmer is not unreasonable. Heretofore no concerted effort has obtained to make the owners <a party to the trade when our farm products* are to be priced. __ Heretofore no thoroughly organized Work has been done to get the .statis tical situation for the farmer’s use in time to benefit the farming com munltj. Heretofore no Interested organize tlon has been strong enough to In- fluence marketeondltloos to favor the farmers In time to benefit him.

Dan Slocum, the member of the gang of feather renovators arrested for attempting to asnwlt a Miss Pad- go tt near Columbia recently, waited preliminary before a magistrate, and Slocum waa eent to jail In default of ball. He has employed no attorney so far. No evidence was given, snd it Is difficult to get at the details of the alleged aanuilt. It appears from what can be learn ed of tbs affair that Slocum and three of his ocm panions found Mias Padgett alone at her father's home, and that Slocum grabbed her, when she scream ed. The strangers vanished snd tbs neighborhood was soon out searching for them but It was a sheriff's officer who esurht them. Slocum's pals are being held as sus pects. They all claim to be working for the National Renovator Company of Chicago, and cannot be run in for vagrancy. Bat It Is thought that some light might be thrown on the series of hold ape the city has witnessed tfci past few weeks by holding them. Tuesday night A. F. Funderburk, a well known furniture dealer, eaw a well dressed white man standing under some trees near Trinity church, sp psrontly waiting for him as he ap proached. He called to the man, who gave no answer. He asked a negro nearby for a revolver and the man under the trees taking flight Mr. Fun derburk and tbe negro gave chase. In a short time half s dozen polios officers had arrived, but the fug.tive had es oaped through a vacant lot. But this Is not an unusual looldent. Sjme pro minent Columbians have .been sut jsc ted to this sort of thing almost every night for the put three weeks. There ere many wild stories going over the town shout these hold-ups One is that a few nights ago a well known Columbian being held up shot the hold-up man severely, and that the supposed thug hu turned out to be himself a prominent Columbian, and that his wounds are being oared for In secret, the matter belrg hushed up on account of his name. O' course, there Is oothlngin the story but wind, but In the naiure of It It will not down. Another, in which there is ju A about u much truth, carries tbe mem ory of graft and hold up. This story Is to tho effect that tho hold-up genius operating about Columbia bu gotten hold of Dlgenese and taken hie lantern away from him tbs hold-up oocui log in the shadow of tbe state dispensary walls. TIMPIID AID FILL. Thla la tbe Uonfeaaton ot Edward George Canllff 1 Edward Qeorge Ounliffe, the Adams Express employs who disappeared from Pittsburg, Pa., with •101.000 in cash, was arrested at Bridgeport, conn. He made a confession and express ed his willingness to return at once to P.ttsburg. He declared that the money which he took is Intact and that it could be recovered, but declin ed to tell until his return to Pitts burg, where it Is hidden. On his per sea when arrested, the detectives found 1290. Detect!vie traced Ounliffe to Bridge port. All tbe hotels were watohed carefully, bui Ounliffe was not arrsat- ed until lata In tbe forenoon, when he was seeu walking down Middle street Cunl ffa mzde no attempt to deny his Identity and oflered no resistance. ' F.ve minutes after I took that money I was sorry," said Cunllffe, “but It was too late to do anything. What can you expect from a man get ting a salary of 165 a month and band'lng thousands of dollars a day ? I was tempted snd I fell. I have bandied larger turns. I remember once when I had •2r>o,ooo in cash, I was tempted, but I thought It over, and decided to In boneat, '‘The night I left Pittsburg, I rode In a sleeper on the way to New York and I stuck my head out of my berth acd saw Slater pass by.

"I want to go back to Pittsburg, restore the money and throw myself upon the mercy of tbe courts.” service in Washington la year was tbs without hearing or ohai of defence, of Walter B. Ilvldge, messenger of the which comes under the department of oomnoeree and labor. No reason was assigned for the die missal, but it Is now known that E f idge Is the man who was driving an automobile a few days ago in front of tbs carriage of President Roosevelt and would not move oat of the way to let the carriage of tbe president, by annoying the president by the dull he threw behind. a result of tfts act of Elvldge, who was appointed from Minnesota, the President Tuesday Issued an order —uteres ting chapter to this story conferring upon cabinet offloere and however, Is the statement by anum himself the rlghr of Instant dismissal, without notice or nearing, of any em ploye of tbe government service ob served to be conducting himself em- properly or to be Inefficient. It is sup posed that tbe president immediately gave orders to Secretary Metcalf to have Elvldge dismissed, and thla was done Thursday. When seen bn the subject Secretary Metcalf declined to give the reasons for the dismissal of Elvldge or to admit that he was the man who had kept in the way of the president. Tbs action of the depart ment was accomplished with the great est kind of mystery. President Roosevelt himself, under civil service regulations, that existed until Tuesday, could not bring about tbe dismissal of Elvldge without filing charges agalst him snd permitting Elvldge to file a defence, but under the new order Elvldge was not allowed defence. The statement of E vldge Is that he did not know that be was keeping Id front of the president's carriage. He did not know whose carriage be was In front of. He remembers that some one (he now understands It was a sec ret service tfflpe’) motioned to him to get oat of the war, but that he did not pay any attention, because if he bad crossed to tho other side of tbe street he would have violated District regulations aud laws as to keeping to. one side of the street, allowing the other for vehicles coming from ac op poslte direction. On tbe other hand it Is ohtfged that E vfdge persistently kept his automo bile In front of the presidential, bar ^ rlage doing so in a dlsagrtaable and unfair way. Fiery Death Shower. At Chicago, 111., five tons of ®ol ten metal exploded at the JOllet pllnt of the Illinois Steel Company Wed- JUl8 tta lnnooeDt aesday falling in a shower of death on a band of workmen about a qpnver ter. One man is dead, three are fat ally burned and half a dozen are ir ju red so badly that they may die. Tbe accident came without warning. The explosion ebook the whole plant, sen ding panic Into ever/ corner of tbe great woiki. Haifa hundred men were within range of the liquid metal and many suffered severe burns. Pity TU So. Churches will sing and sing “Rescue the Perishing,'* but when s member, young or old, maker s misstep and goes wrong, there Is very little-at tempt to rescue. The tendency Is to push them deeper down, rather than rescue them. This Is especially true In regard to girls or women. They sing “rescue" but act “pushdown.” In tbe case of men It Is a little better, unless his- failure is in his business Then instead of praying for him they all prey oh him. Five Door Found Deed — Sportsmen shoot Charleston are concerned over the number of dead deer found In. the woods, five being dtsooved in tbe past week lying dead apparently without pny reason for their deaths. Some of the hunters say that parts green used on cotton plants to kill caterpillars Is responsi ble for the killing of the deer, whloh have eaten the poison aud died from Its effects. None jot tbe deer had "black tongue.” — - Hubands In Revolt. Tborougly disgusted by the univer sal giving up of their wives to social functions, 200 oltlzme of Williams port, Warren eoonty, Ind., have ca terer vigorous protests against the practice, and have demanded in no uncertain terms that there must be more consecration to home duties and less devotion to eluba The recent utterances of Mr. Cleveland on the subject caused much comment among the husband, and It was concluded that tbe ex president knew a thing or two about women that he was not afraid to tell, and the Williamsport husbands determined to be equally bold. This led to protests home, and when there were Ignored, another plan was advanced. The husbands met yesterday afternoon, had a p nk tea of their own, and then marched In a body to the various plaoes, where their wives were being entertained and burlesqued their social functions. The husbands were followed by a lar ge erbwd of boys and single men and the aflklr was mads as grotesque as possible. ' Bryan Welcomed To Japan. William J.
