W. G. Cooper, of Florence, Miss,
writes a very gloomy and doleful let

Is what he says about the conditions:
As it is a long time since I bothered
you with my squibs 1 will endeavor to
express myself as I see things from
a farmer’s point of view. First, we
are being taxed out of reason for
others to steal and have a eood time
on: still there seems no way to mend
the way of doing things. Graft is all
ly Tuesday night by two unldentilledfihe go with them from the highest to
the lowest official. Some few are
caught up with, but it takes more to
convict them than it Is worth; so we
are the losers at last.
Times are very gloomy with us on
account of a weevil known as the
Mexican weevil. We spent thousands
of dollars as salaries for experts to
go into the infected territory and
learn the history of the weevil and
its habits or all about him, and they
came back and told us that he came
from Mexico and would destn-v our
cotton for three \ears and then would

Charge Against Banks.
Senator Tillman had Inserted in
the Congressional Record of Monday
to substantiate his assertion that afl-
nancial stringency exists In the South
and that the farmers could not ob
tain money on the best of collateral
to move the cotton crop letters from
Lewis W. Parker, president of the
Parker Coton mills and A. D. Hudson
of Newberry. Mr. Parker in his let
ter stated that he did not know
whether the hanks in reserve cities
were attempting to embarass the ad
ministration, but that they had de
termined to bring about a general
liquidation and reduction of credit,
the effect being a condition of finan
cial distress! which is unjustifiable.
Senator Smith has also received simi
lar letters.

The Main Object of Lind’s Mission i-
to Call on Provisional Huerta of
Mexico to Remind Him of His
Promises to Order an Election for
a New President.
Two hours of conference Saturday
night between President Wilson, Sec
retary Bryan and the senate foreign
relations committee brought about
no change in the attitude of the ad
ministration toward Mexico. Presi
dent Wilson took the senators into
his confidence far enough to outline
the following:
That John Lind, his special envoy
to Mexico City, does not bear any
solution of the present situation, but
goes to continue this government’s
effort to induce Provisional President
Huerta to redeem his promises for
free and constitutional elections
That under no circumstances does
the administration propose to recog

lieved that he had Mr Ferguson now
under control. After a slight lull in
the man’s speech, with ligntning-like
quickness Mr. Ferguson threw on all
the speed his high powerel car could
command and in a second the high
wayman had been hurled to the
ground ami run over by the car. His
confederate escaped to the woods
nearby.
Realizing that the highwayman
was hurt, Mr. Ferguson ran his car
back to him, where he was found to
be in a serious condition. A physi
cian was summoned and it was found
that three of his ribs were broken
and that, he had received severe
bruises. Hejs still seriously ill. His
name has not yet been ascertained.
If he recovers he will be carried to
jail.
