DODGING CONTRACTS
President Parker, of the American
Cotton Manufacturers Association,
Sots Forth Situation in Detail fi'oni
the Manufacturers' Staiid|K>int and
Criticizes Attorney General.
"I think that it is most unfortunate
that tlie government should inintervene
in the effort to protect
those who have sold beyond their
possession," characteristically said
Mr. Lewis Parker, Wednesday at
Greenville, when asked concerning
i he action of the govern rent in oroering
an investigation of the hltcged
pool to keep the price of cotton
up.
"The Southern mills do not wish,
to see a decline in the price of cotton,"
he continued, "and the stand
of tho government is unfair. Apparently,
it originated in Wall Street
?,n the part of the hears, who have
b( en selling to keep the price of
cotton down, and who, , by this inv/io)!irMl!/in
u'leh tn fnrr-a Uprkts
Ilayno, Brown and others to show
their hands, to find out their metho
Is, and their supply of catton on
hand and the like. That part of
the press dispatches which alluded
to a contract of 2 6th of February
jeferred to an agreement, by the
Southern mills to take care of the
rr tton tendered in New York. I
learned of the action of Attorney
General Wickersham on Wednesday
j ight and sent the following telegram
to Senator E. D. Smith at
Wash ingf on:
"'Have just learned of action of
grand jury in New York under advice
of Attorney General Wickersham
in reference to New York exchange.
'Idie effect of this is to
assist the bears out of a dilemma
in selling the market. The effort of
Southern mills has been to sustain
prices and to this end they have
agreed to take up cotton tendered in
J New York. There is nothing unfair
or illegal in their agreement
J with Hayne ana Brown, and I urge!
r you to protest against the use of the
government's power in forcing at this
timie a disclosure of their plans in
the effort to make a bear raid. See ,
A damson of Georgia, who understands
matters.'
"The situation is this: as is
known throughout tlie season the I
mills have had a difficult job to got!
an adjustment, of cotton goods to a j
parity with the prices of cotton.. With
the scarcity prevailing in cotton dur-j
ins the present season it is difficult to
J say what is a fair price for the comV*~Thodity;
hut from November on 1 !
J think it has been recognized that
probably 1 f> cents to the producer
represented that fair price. In November
and again in January, those
who were adverse to the prevailing
prices of the commodity made concerted
efforts to break the market by
selling in large quantity, .hoping and
expecting to be able to repurchase
the cotton at lower prices. Those thus
I calling the market have oversold
** themselves, and purchases have been
made by Messrs. Ilayne. Hrtown and
others who are simply asking those
j .no have sold to deliver that which
they speculatively sold without having
cotton to sell.
"T.he Southern mills do not wish
t'o see i decline in the price of
' ?11\ I lin
cotton for two rCiiniMiis. ,,,
first place to a considerable extent
they have purchased cotton in the ,
belief that the high prices pr ' 'ailing
during the fall and winter were
n.ore or less justified by the crop
out-turn. In the second place they
regard it exceedingly problematical
what will l>o the size of the crop
this year, and what should be a legitimate
price for cotton next fall.
"On the exchange the prevailing
prices for fall cotton are now approximately
12 1-2 cents; and so
far as we can see these prices should
prevail in the fall. If through the!

issued by General P. Harrison as
grand marshal, were made public on
Thursday night by his chief of staff,
Harry E. Jones. This settles the issue
as to the position of the carriage
division that was raised by Gen. John
A. Webb, of LV1 ississippi.
The parade according to the official
orders, will form at 10 o'clock
in the morning on April 28. The order
of divisions in the parade is as
follows: ,
Order of Divisions.

al officers of the U. C. V., and uniformed

spilinc movement on the part of the
bears the prices for fall deliveries
are materially reduced, buyers of ,
goods will fix (heir estimate of the J
value of goods on the basis of these
reduced prices of futures; whereas ]
there is every reason to believe that
an abnormal demand for cotton in
the fall will keep prices sustained
for the spot cotton at, in all probability,
above 12 1-2 cents, even '
though the crop be very large. Under
these circumstances inasmuch as
the effect of constant selling of tiie
market by bears would have a con- .
slant tendency ho reduce the price ^
of cotton the Southern Mills have
agreed to take up the cotton in New ^
York hoping to have thereby a ,
strengthening tendency on the cotton
market. The bears who have been
selling what tbey did not have are [
now seized with a panic and are '
showing t.he white feather and have ,
sought the assistance of the gov- J
eminent in this condition of affairs.
4 I think that it is nuost unfortun
i
ate that tlio government snouia intervene
In the effort to protect those
w.ho have sold beyond their possession.
It is also importunate that in !
this matter Mr. Wickershani, the (
Attorney General, under whose direr- ^
tion the inquiry in being made, should ^
he the law partner of Mr. Taft, the J
counsel of the cotton exchange, and {
tnat Mr. Taft, the oounsel, is the *
brother of the President . It has f
come to a pretty pass in the gov- (
eminent when it is no crime for a 1
set of men to sell what they don't :
possess, but becomes a crime for
others who are interested in the
niaintainenco of prices cf the raw
material act together so as to com- (
pel those who hr>'*e rMUl to deliver j 1
what they have sold." I ]
MAD DOG VICTIMS

Very Much Crowded.
Over forty cases of rabies and nowbeing
treated In the new established
State Pasteur Institute at Columbia
at the University of South Carolina.
With the approach of summer it is
feared the number of cases will increase
and it is likely that the next
T.PfHKlntnrn will ho asked to make
some provision for housing and feeding
such patients as finding suitable
boarding houses is becoming a serious
problem.
'Many of the patients are from
very poor families. Most of the victims
now receiving treatment are
white children though there are a
number of negroes in the list. Tiie
reception room at tiie institute looks
like a small kindergarten when Dr.
Coward oomes in at 9:30 o'clock and
rolled up his sleeves for a hard day's
work.
The case illustrating the greatest
havoc one worthless stray dog can do
is that illustrated by five victims
from Charleston there for treatment.
Two others bitten by the same dog
were sent elsewhere for treatment,
one that of a child of Mr. J. Ij.
Livingston, a brother of Mr. W. F.
Livingston, the Charleston and Columbia
shoe dealer. This child had

On-? of the negro victim's of this
dog had to have several stiches taken
in its face to close up a wound
and another negro victim had a leg
chewed into so deeply to render it
a cripple for life.
Tho white victim of this dog Is
the little four-year-old daughter of
E. G. Steele, the Associated Press
operator in The News and Courier
office. The child is accompanied >?y
its mother. The Steele child is not
doing so well, and an ertra physician
was called into consultation.
Three white women from Chester
were bitten by a pet calf which suddenly
went mad.

DEMOCRATS WILL. CONTROL THE
NEXT HOUSE.
Opinion in Washington as to Retirement
of Aldrich and Other Republican
Leaders.
The recent events in national politics
has roused the whole country to
a belief that the doom of the republican
party is settled and the
democrats are standing to win Uie
fight for the next congress. Various
prominent leaders have spoken of the
I'ncnlt ! n M loon^ti ncotle n fl tli<? v i < _
tory In the Syracuse New York district,
and the determination of Aldrich
and other republican leaders
to retire from public life, and the
general sentiment is that there is a
handwriting on the wall which all
of the political prophets can read.
The following view from Zacli McGhee
of the State in Washington
Bunuinarizes the sentiment as gathered
in that political center. Aldrich
and Aldridge for a joint subject
of great interest in Washington.
"The rats are leaving the ships,"
is what is heard in Democratic circles.
and the republicans are simply
looking sick. While the retirement
of Aldrich at I4ie end of this congress
on the announcement of it for
political effect is being talked of
the town Is set further agog by the
news from the 3 4th New York district,
where a democrat heats the republican
boss, Aldridge, for congress.
The reverse is as great as that Massachusetts
several weeks ago, when
cnnsetis several wet-K? wum
Foss was elected. Havens overcomes
a majority of 10,000 and piles up a
democratic majority of several thousand.
Senator Aid rich gave out a letter
he has written the governor of Rhode
Island notifying the governor and
country that he would not he a candidate
for re-election to the senate.
This is taken to mean that the senate
boss sees that his days as boss
are numbered and that he had better
get out. It is suggested that if
the country again goes republican in
the fall election then Mr. Aldrich
will come back in which case he
would continue the boss. The case
of iMr. Hale is slightly different, in
that Mr. Hale confronts defeat anyway.
Some have been whispering
about the capitol that we may expect
to hear from Lodive of Massachusetts,
whose reelection is by no
means certain.
THEY HA!) A HOT TIME.
General How in Which Two Persons
Are Killed.
One man killed outright, another
dying, still another seriously injured
and a woman In a precarious condition
is the net result of a quarrel
started in a boarding house in
Welch, W. Va., presided over by the
woman victim.
John Jones, a former boarder, had
been warned several times by Mrs.
Cleek to stay away from her home.
Shortly after noon Tuesday he appeared
at the house and an altercation
ensued. A. T. Taylor, a boarder,
sided with Mrs. Cleek, and this
infuriated Jones, who grasping a dinner
hell, pounded Taylor over the
head with it. Mrs. Cleek immediately
procurred a revolver and shot
Jones, killing him Instantly.
Shortly afterward, Jones's son,
Lewis, entered the boarding house,
and hit Mrs. Cleek with a huge
stone, fracturing her skull. Taylor
then secured the weapon used by
Mrs. Cleek and shot young Jones
above the heart, and the local .hospital
physicians say he cannot recover.
,T. P. Jones, a. relative of the
dead man, then interfered and was
shot through the arm and shoulder
by Taylor, who then disappeared.

the country's politics today. Hut
tlvey are (lie outcome of long years
during which popular intelligence
and conscience have been awakening.
The grc:it chr nge has been silently
moving like a glacier. It is now
ready to rush like an avalanche. It
took the s ed planted by William
Jennings Hryan fourteen years ago
sometime to germinate, but the harvest
is being gathered at last.
It is particularly significant, says
bhe Atlanta Journal that both Fosc
and Mr. Havens won largely on the
tariff issue. And they both won in
communities that rely for business
chiefly on manufacturers. Monroe
county presents a specially interest,inig
test of how the people of the
nation at large have come to feel
and to think. Rochester, its principal
city, abounds in factories. T.he
outlying territory is studded with
farms. Thus the laboring man and
the farmer were called upon to register
their opinions the present
tariff and of Republican methods. In
their action, the thought of t.he whole
country is reflected and the will of
the whole country presaged.
If there was ever an unalloyed
specimen of Cannonism and Republicanism
stand-pat ism, it is C.eorgo
Washington Aldriedge, erstwhile boss
of LMonroe county, New York. He
has held in .his four and fifty y ars
of life almost every political ofllce >
within tho power of his machine. In
behalf of special interests he has I
been as shrewdly calculating as AIdrich
and toward every progressive
movement .he has been as defiant as '
Uncle Joe. Tie is not simply a chip
off of the old block; he is an old
block all to himself. in the campaign
ho ran on a general proclamation
indorsing the Republican regime,
national and local.
llabens, on the contrary, stood for
n tariff reduction on wool and wool
on goods and a removal of the duties
on hides, lumber and iron ore
tuul independence of machine domi-i
nation. Ret ween these two the people
of a great representative American
community have chosen. That
choice is a test and a prophecy.
