The Waj-ahlngton correspondent
of the State saya wise politicians are
dealaring that a bombshell is likely
to be thrown into the camps of Pres
ident Taft and Bull Mosse Roose

powered with the duty of making
an Investigation into the.political con
tributions under the Penrose resolu
tion, meets in this city early next
month. Senator Clapp, chairman of
the committee, has everything in
good order and expects to open the
hearings on time . *;
When Senator Clapp was here a few
days ago he said that all

Gov. Cole L. Blease Issued a
lengthy statement Thursday “to the
voters of South Carolina,” in which
he dtmanded of the State executive
committee that it declare him the
nominee of the Democratic party. He
declared himself to he the represen
tative of 72,000 voters in the State,
a majority o fthe whole, and speaks
for them in demanding action.
He charges that the machinery of
the recent primary was in the hands
of his political enemies and that if
fraud were practiced, it waa perpe
trated by voters who were not his
friends. In view of recent editorial
expressions b ythe few papers sup
porting the Governor that civil war
will break out if Blease is not declar
ed the nominee ,the concluding
words of Gov. Blease's statement
WRITES AN OPEN LETTER
AFTER HE HAD FATALLY SHOT
CONSTABLE BATES
In Which He Says the Governor Does
Not Propose to Enter a Second Pri
mary, but Would Go in the Gener
al Election With Nearly a New
Ticket.
“In case action of this executive
cominlttte makdE it necessary for Gov
ernor Blease «s the nominee of the
democratic primary, to contest In the
general election against Ira B. Jones
or some other Independent candidate
for governor, we have from various
men of more or less prominence In
politics the following state ticket sug
gested to us for the Bleasltes or re

Although Child Weighs Only 2*5
Pounds Was Able to Discharge the
Weapon.
A Special dispatch from Spartan
burg to the State tells of a most re
markable killing with a gun of one
negro child by another. Tho dispatch
Is as folows:
Not quite four years of age and
weighing only 25 pounds, Willie Lee
Lindsay, son of Henry Lln^gay, a tift**
gro, managed some rfiaiiner to
discharge a shotgun and killed his S
year old half sister, Marian Lind
say, at their home on J. L. Maxwell's
place at east Spartanburg, about JL.m
o'clock Thursday. Willi© then
sought his parents, who were away
from home at the time, and inform
ed them that a mad dog had killed
Marian.
Lindsay and his wife said the shot
gun had laid under the bed unloaded
and that the cartridges werq In the
bureau drawer. It Is supivosed that
the children took the gun from Its
hiding place and loaded it. It is
thought unlikely that the boy would
have been able to do so alone.
When found after th© tragedy the
gun was unbreeched and looked as If
an effort had been made to extract
the empty shell
Coroner John S. Turner iiivestigu:
ed the case and said there was no

FIRING UPON BOOSE
HOST OF RIGHT.
MANY SHOTS EXCHANGE!
A dispatch from Alke ntells of a
fatal shooting at Ellenton on Wed
nesday morning. Resisting arrest at
tho hands of an officer, who carried
a warrant for his apprehension,
Adolphus Jackson, a negro, of Ellen-
ten, lies dead, while the constable,
Mr. Hughlet Bates, is seriously, may
bo fatally, wounded. The affair oc
curred at Ellenton Wednesday morn
ing.
It appears that the homicide arose
as the sequel to an Incident some
two or three days prior to the shoot
ing. On Monday an officer or offic
ers had gone to the home of Andy and
Adolphus Jackson with a view to ar
resting the former, who was charged
with some minor offence
ci nsiderahle difficulty was experlem -

the outlook for the A m-M leart cotton

various sections of ♦he eolton belt,
the prospective requirements of con

Of course there ftr«-iclalms by both

There is reason, however, to believe
that pjractlcally as much will be used

both have larger crops than last year.

Odom was struck by small shot and
one or more negroes were wounded.
Reports which come from that Mo

that on Monday afternoon Don*
English, Brooks English and Ttlden

operated at Harris Peele’n gin by
Zack Justice. Tney got into a diffi

Monday night Norman Odom want
to the home of Dorat English, calUd
English out and asked him about a
debt which Odom claimed English
owed him. There was a dlsputa
about It, some hot words and then
an exchange of pistol shots. A ball
from Odom's pistol struck English In
the left leg, Inflicting a painful
wound. Odom then weat homt to
his father's, Wm. D. Odom's.
A little later several unknown per
sons started out on th© war path with
shotguns. They passed Justice’s
mill and fired Into the *eed
where he and his hands slept. Th*
shot struck on© or two of the n*-
gtoes, but did not seriously wound
them
They fired at Oscar Odom, who
happened to be passing along th*
road, and was probably ml*t*k«* for

Cotiiinz to the question of Amerl-

w is took about 5,500,000 bales,
ih© ; ,i'ual consumption, as figured
bv S.-itettiry Hester, was placed at
5,225,1)1)0 halo* of American cotton.
\ larger consumption Is expected
(luring: the coming season for the
reason that a good many w©ak spots
ii the textile situation in this coun
try have been eliminated, and it Is
altoce'lier a question of the supply
ot labor as to the amount American
mills will consume, provided they
can get cotton at reasonable prices,
say anywhere under 14 cents. At
present the mills in this country are
making more money on the average
tl an at any time sine© the boom of
1997. The situation is much more
sound than it was then because job-
oors and wholesalers have ke
stocks of goods down to a handj&o
mouth basis There is a theoretftal
profit of $12 to $15 a bale in ootton
now used in print cloth manufactur
ed on the basis of 12-cent co^fon. As
there s no very large suppl/^of gpods

jai market justified it.
Aside from the increase in the ac
tivity of spindles and looms, which
is pushing manufacturers to the
limit in order to find adequate labor
supply, there has been a com/ortable
addition to the mill equipment of the
country, with about a million spln^
dies added to the Southern mill list
durng the last year, according to the
Southern Textile Bulletin. It i* es
