SOUTH GAINS
Representation in Congress as the
t Present Census Will Show
LARGE INCREASE HERE
Kach Southern State May <*ot an Ad
tioual MoinDcr in tnc liowr ihhimlint
Northern Republican Hcpre*
scntativcs Will Oppose the Increase
Strenuously.
A dispatch from Washington says
since estimated returns of the J 3th
census, sent uo Director Durand, indicate
that in many of the States of
the South large gains have been
made in population since the last
census was made, ten years ago, Democrats
are beginning already to prepare
for Die fight Hint is almost certain
to be made against a larger representation
from that section.
These partial returns indicate that
in probably all of the States South
of the Mason and Dixon line the increase
in population since t.he last apportionment
was made will lie sufficient
to permit of an additional
member of the lower house in each
of them, while in some of the Western
Ruuns Dip returns indicate that |
the present number or ItepresentaTves
will either be slightly reduced,
or at most no additional members
will be authorized.
This is what will cause the trouble.
The Republicans will hate to
give up any of their present strength
and they would hate worse to see
It go Siouth, the home of the
Democrats, but they will be unable
to defeat a fair apportionment. Taking
the rule of progression, as stated
by Director Durand, a little figuring
will show what each of the States
should be entitled to receive in the
matter of Representatives in Congress
when the next apportionment is
made.
In 1830 the total number of members
of the House was 332, in 1890
, it was 367, and in 1900 it was 391,
which is the number at this time.
What were the relative gains in population
during each of those periods?
In 1890 the population of the fortyflve
States then in tho Union was
62,116,811; in 1 900 it had increas
ed to 74,610,523 and at this time estimates
make it arown 1 91.000.000.
In other words, from 18S0 to J 590
the number of mcmneis in the House
was increased by twMity-li'e and
from 1 890 to 190C, thirty four.
Therefore, if the population since
1900 .has increased from 74,000,000
In round numbers to 91.000,000 ?
17,000,000?there should bo approximately
forty row membeis admitted.
Where will they come from? Will
they come as representatives of the
big cities of Now Y*?*k Chicago,
Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Poslon,
where the tide of immigration fur

ItJJl V it. 1 O HAD UCVH kliiutiQ V/. .....
they come from the more thinly set- *
tied agricultural districts of the 1
South and West? 1
T.hese are questions that Director 1
Durand admitted he was totally un- 1
able to answer intelligently at this 1
time. Immigration will figure large- ?
ly in the final totals he said, and ?
there is little doubt that the larger 1
cities will make big gains, hence wiP %
want more representatives in Co. a
gress. c
Those familiar with legislative at
fairs in Washington do not hesitate *
to state that the Republicans in the ('
present Congress, among them Representatives
Bennett, of New York; 1
Crumpacker, of Ohio, and Keifer, of '
Ohio, will make every possible effort 1
to keep the Southern States from in- s
creasing their Democratic member- *
ship in the House when the figures v
are all in and when the time for re- c
apportioning the various States again
comes round.
Year by year the Congressmen
named have made a determined fight ^
against the present number of Representatives
from the South?Uuir
claims being based on the theory that
inasmuch as discrimination is used (
against die negroes and that in many j
instances the election laws or me
country south of the Mason and I)ix- *
on line are such that the negroes are '
excluded that an exact representa- ^
proportion not to the total of 1
proportion not to the the total of 1
population in those States, but ac- :
cording to the registered voters who '
exercise the elective privilege.
Kueh attempts have not yet been 1
successful and probably never will (
be, so far as present conditions are '
concerned, but that the fight of last !
year will be renewed when the quee- (
tion of making another apportionment
comes up, is already well settled.

CLAIMS THRONE
A Man Who Says He is the Oldest Son
of King Edward, the Seventh
AND IS THE LEGAL KING
John (Jcorge Guelph Tells a Strange
Story in New York, Relating to
the Late King of Hngland, and One
of 11 is Karly Love Affairs.
John George Guelph, w.ho claims
to be eldest son of the late King Edward
VII, by a marriage which Queen
Victoria made her son disavow, and
therefore the rightful ruler of the
British Empire, was seen at 10G Montague
street in New York Tuesday,
and asked w.hat he intended to do
to gain the throne.
("The prince," as he is still called
by his wife and friends, although
Edward VII, is dead, displayed in
answer a cablegram he had just dispatched
to George V., at the palace
in London.
'"T.his is the best answer as to
what my attitude will be," said he.
The cablegram read:
"Brooklyn, N. Y., IT. S. A.,
"May Gth, 1910.
"King George. London:
"Words fail to express my grief.
You understand my position. I am
at the service of my country.
"John George Guelph."
"Rut," said the reporter, puzzled,
"how does that make your position
clear?"
"You will notice," said the prince,
"t.hat I renounce none of my claims
in that cablegram. In fact, I assert
my rights. My position in reality is
that of King of England and Emperor
of the British Empire. George
knows that. He will understand
what I mean. I do not lay myself at
Gfcorge's disposition, as a subject
might be expected to do, in that last
sentence. I do not offer George my
services. I offer them to my country."
"The matter of the prince's sue
cession," said the princess, who was
pressent at the interview, "is witb
the people of Great Britain, and
leading statesmen thero 1*
cablegram
is addressed to King George,
London.' It that not in itself an
acknowledgement that George is
King?"
"That means nothing," said Prince
John, "except that it was necessary
to address it in that manner to insure
its delivery."
The "prince" was very much bro
ken with griet, and as ne told uae
tale of all that he has been made to
suffer he frequently broke down and
sobbed. He wore black, even to the
necktie. And his grief seemed to be
very genuine. He is a fall, well
built man of forty-nine, who l?ok&
younger, and there is no doubt that
he bears a great facial resemblance
to the English royal family.
The princess, before the prince arrived,
told to the reporter an outline
of his story. The late king, she
said, while Prince of Whales, married
the daugter of an English peer
who Queen Victoria disapproved and
forbade the public announcement of
the marriage. "Prince John" was
born. The peer's daughter was hustled
out of sight and never acknowledged.
But the marriage was never
annulled. "The Prince" went to
India while very young. The^e he 1
learned of his parentage and was offered
a title if he would go to Australia
and c.p. ? there. Bu* because
the rc,entanc? of the t' ie would be 1
at t?he price of his mother's good
name, he refused it. He demanded
acknowledgement for her also. Sim
never received it and is now in the
Holy Hand as a missionary. Neither
ihe prince nor the princess would
tell who she is.
"The Prince" says he had a great
many letters from the late king acknowledging
him as his son.
"Will you make these letters public
now?" he was asked.
"If I am forced to do so." he re
plied.
Just what his first step will he in
the way of gaining the throne he
would not say. Matters of that kind,
so ho said, cannot he done hastily.

WHITE (ifltli SAVED.
Two White Women and Their Chinese
Husbands Arrested.
At New York, under orders from
the district attorney four habitues
of Chinatown were arrested in what
is described by Assistant District Attorney
Frank Moss as a new white
slave plot. In one of the houses visited
by detectives, Marcelle Feaure,
a pretty 16-year-old white girl, whose
home is at Easton, Pa., was selr.ed
and sent to the house of detention.
The arrests, as 'Mr. Moss said, foiled
a plot to take the girl into Chinatown
after she had been lured there from
her .home for that purpose. Two
white women and thetr Chinese husbands
are the prisoners. Mr. Moss
said he is confident no harm has yet
come to the girl, as it was planned
to introduce her slowly to the aspect
of vice in Chinatown before the
sale for fear she would become disgusted
and run away.

JURY ACQUITS THE MAN A M015
WANTED TO LYNCH.
Carried From Greenville to Spartanburg
to Escape tlio Mob That Were
Clanunoring for Ills Life.
Jesse Fuller, charged with the
murder of J. E. Liddell on Christmas
eve, at Greenville, was declared not
guilty by the jury charged with his
case after deliberations of two hours
Monday night at Greenville. Trial
of the ease was begun Monday morning
and went to the jury shortly after
six o'clock Monday night.
The principal witness for the state
wns \V. (). Stover, who claimed that
Fuller confessed to .him shortly after
the mur.'er. It was on his allegation
that Fuller was arrested and
lodged in jail on Christmas day
Fuller gave a satisfactory account
of his whereabouts on Christmas eve,
which was corroborated by Joe Barker,
who claimed to have been with
him.
The acquittal is tne subject of
much comment on the streets of
I Greenville for it was only by the
strategy of the sheriff's office that
Puller was not lync.hed when implicated
by Stover. A mob formed in
front of the court house demanding
his life, but he was spirited away and
carried to Spartanburg, where he was
kept in jail for several weeks.
The murder of Liddell was one of
the most brutal ever enacted in the
city of Greenville and raised feeling
to a high pitc.h. Several persons are
still under suspicion.

THE COTTON TARE ACT
SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE IT
AT EARLY DATE.
A I>eoinJoii That Will R? of Groat
Interest to the Farmers of the
State.
The State Supreme Court has been
asked to pass upon the constitutionality
of the Cotton Tare Act, which
was enacted at the last session of the
Legislature. A warrant has b; en
sworn out against W. G. Mullins, a
cotton buyer of Columbia charging
hiin with violation of the Act. It
is thought thai this is purely a toat
case. The suit is of vital importance j
to all cotton farmers. The act is
as follows.
"Section 3. That from and after
the approval of this Act it shall be
unlawful for any person, firm or
corporation engaged in the business
of buying cotton in this State as
principal or agent to deduct any sum
for bagging and ties for the weight
or price of any bale of cotton when
the weight of the bagging and ties
does not exceed G per cent, of the
gross weight of such bale of cotton.
In the event that the weight of the
bagging and teis exceeds sixty per
cent of the gross weight of such bales
of cotton only the excess over the
said G per cent may be deducted.
"Section 2. For each and every
violation of this Act the offender
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
snail ne mi <i 111 me sum 01 not
than $5 nor more than $25, or imprisonment
not less i.han ten days
nor more than thirty days. Provided,
this Act shall not apply to what
in trade is known as round bales
and bales of cotton which weigh less
than 300 pounds." The act was approved
on February 25, of this year.
Jt is claimed that $1,800,000 is
the amount involved in the test case
that will be brought before the Supreme
Court Monday on habeas cor'
pus proceedings, JLn connection with
the alleged violation of the Cotton
Tare Act, which makes this case assume
tremendous proportions in this
State. Heretofore the amount of
tare allowed on cotton was 2 0 pounds
to the bale. Put under the enact
ment of 1910 the 6 per cent that
would be allowed, if the Act is declared
constitutional, would mean 3 0
pounds to each 50 0-pound bale, a
difference of 10 pounds to the bale.
T.he Columbia correspondent of
The News and Courier wants to know
who will pay this difference? Why
the farmers have been charged tare
all the time. A tare of six pounds
per hundred on all American cotton
is deducted in Liverpool when
the price of our cotton is fixed, and
of course the farmer loees this. Now
if a buyer in Columbia knocks off
ten more pounds for tare the farmer
is being robbed of just ten pounds
of cotton, as the six pounds tare on
each hundred pounds of his cotton
has already been deducted when the
price is fixed in Liverpool, where the
price of our cotton is always fixed,
that being t.he market in which wt,
sell the surplus of our cotton crop.
This is an old question, and R
should be familiar to all farmers
and cotton buyers. Should a farmer
put as much as 4SO pounds lint
cotton in a bale and put on that
bale only 20 pound of bagging and
ties he is giving away ten pounds of
lint cotton, as he is credited by the
Liverpool fixers of the price of our
cotton with only 4 70 pounds of lint 1
cotton in all bales weighing 500
* rnl a i_ X J ,|
pounds. me ranker is noi paui iui
the bagging and ties, as many sup- 1
pose. For every hundred pounds
of cotton he sells six pounds is de- '
ducted to pay for the bagging and ;
ties he puts on it. 1
On what ground any buyer should '<
deduct ten pounds of cotton from a
bale of five hundred pounds or any
other weight bale is a mystery to
us. It would be a clean steal of
just that much cotton from the farmer,
unless there is a defect in the
packing of the bale in some way.
The farmer who puts more than 4 70
pounds of cotton in a 500 pound bale
is simply giving away the excess he
puts in over that amount. The baggimg
and ties should make up the
thirty pounds needed to make the
bale weigh 500 pounds
We are satisfied that the supreme
court will uphold the act
as it simply protects the farmer in
his just rights. The ten cent tare
that is involved in this decisioi
amounts to over a million dollars,
and we know of no reason w.hy the
farmers should bo buncoed out of
it. It Is understood that the test
case is brought by a large Columbia
firm of cotton dealers, M, C. Heath
& Co.,* and \V. G. Mulling has been
arrested on a warrant sworn out
charging him with violating the
Tare Act. Tbe case will come up
Monday in the Supreme Court.

Miles, lOiidiiring Many Hardships.
Aftor a thrilling: flight of four
hundred miles, during which they ascended
to an altitude of 20,COO feet
and encountered two snowstorms, A.

vice president of the Aero
Club of America and Y. C. Yates, of
rsew iorK, iohi comroi 01 men uailoon,

and descended with such precipitation
that both aeromalits were badly
bruised and the balloon partially
wrecked.
The balloon came to earth near
Center, Ky., a hamlet about 20 miles
from Horse Cave, and dropped the
final one hundred feet of space like
a stone. The escape of t.he balloonists
from instant death was little
short of miraculous. A representative
of the Associated Press visited
the injured balioonists at the farm
of Tilden Boston, where they were
removed after alighting, and found
both men suffering from severe
bruises and sprains, but not seriously
injured.
Althoug.h confined to their beds
they expect to be able to travel within
two or three days "We left
Quincy, 111., at 6.56 o'clock Monday
evening," said Mr. Forbes. "We were

Tuesday morning we encountered
intense cold and a severe snow storm
at an altitude of 16,000 feet. On
Tuesday afternoon, at an altitude of
1 6,000 feet, we ran into anot.her
snow storm. Shortly afterwards we
shot up Vo 20,000 feet. From that,
time on the cold was so intense
that we became benumbed and half
stupid and gradually lost power to
control the balloon.
I cannot tell what the altitude was
but just before we made our final
drop, an effort to Vet out gas by
the valve bad not succeeded in bringing
us to the ground as fast as we
desired. Finally, I decided to use
the rip cord before we lost consciousness
entirely. In some manner, yet
unexplained the cord did its work
entirely too well and ripped the bag
almost from top to bottom. Tho .
descent was terrific, and I judge for
the last hundred feet there was very
little gas left in the balloon, as it
fell like a stone."
AUTO FOUND IN AULKV.
Suspected to be the Machine that

An automobile with bloodstains on

men in the car, is active in conducting
the investigation. Three saloonkeepers

A FANATIC CALLICD DOWN.

It. L. Page, Jr., who edits a weekly
paper at Quitman, Mass., several

dancing "public bugging," and intimated
that no virtuous woman would
indulge in such practices. Page has
been out of the city for several days.
He returned Wednesday morning,
was met by a group of prominent
citizens, forced to eat a clipping of
the editorial, and was then taken in
