/ 1 * ' ' FELDER WANTED Mtpwtary Chonsswi Oiler* His I* Cmk ud Gve Erideac*. MAY DECLINE TO COME ? He May Take the Position That He Will Respond to the Demand Unless the Probers Are Named by the Legislature as First Suggested by the Governor. T 3 Felder of Atlanta has been ordered by the new dispensary commission to appear in Columbia on fMnv 2ft and tell what he knows of the affairs of the old State dispensary. He has been ordered "to furnish all information in his possession in regard to any matter or matters connected with the said State dispensary against any officer of said institution or of this State, and particularly the governor of this State." No announcement has been made by Mr. Felder as to whether he will come to Columbia and give the information desired. It may be that he will refuse to testify at this time on the iground that the new dispensary commission has no right to make the investigation requested by the governor of the State. In the event that he refuses to appear before the present dispensary commission, it is likely that Mr. Felder will withhold his information until an investigating committee is named by the general assembly. The resolution passed by the new dispensary commission is as follows: "Be it resolved, Tiiat tnis commis-i sion meet on the 29th day of May, A. ' D. 1911, and that Thomas B. Felder of the firm <of Anderson, Felder Rountree & Wilson be required to ap- j pear before said commission on that date and furnish them with all in-! formation in his possession or in the 1 possession of his firm in connection with all matters and affairs of any and all claims due or owing to or by the State of South Carolina from and to any and all person or persons, in obedience to the contract made with the late members of this commision in writing by the said Anderson, Folder, Rountree & Wilson. "Resolved, second that the said Thomas B. Folder at the same time be required to furinsh all information in his possession in regard to any matter or matters connected with the said State dispensary against any offender of said institution or of this State, and particularly the governor of this State, the Hon. Cole L. Bl-ease, in accordance with his communications heretofore made, either in person or through the press of this State, and that he also furnish any information that he has in his possession, showing any connection or any dealing in person or as agent for others that the said ^ 1 T T~> Iaoca mow h o h <i d null.

"Resolved, third, lhat a copy of these resolutions be transmitted by registered letter through the United States mail to the said Anderson, Felder, Rountree & Wilson, and a copy individually to Thomas 13. Folder of said firm." Seventeen Year Locusts. Reports from the West that the 17-year locusts, which are due about this time, have been seen in large swarms in Oklahoma, are disquieting, but should merely be taken as a warning that eternal vigilance spells safety in agriculture as in .all other pursuits of life. The greatest locust plagues of history were in Africa, Arabia and southern Asia. The United States, however, has had its own experience with the pests. Among the more recent plagues in this country were those in 1856 and 18 74, the latter enduring three years and causing widespread ruin throughout the whole region between the Mississippi river and Rocky Mountains. The Washington Post says while the locust has been wiped out pretty igenerally, it is still likely to become a local nuisance at any time. This 1s evidence in the appearance of the pest in Oklahoma. The farmers should not wait for the appearance of the locust. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The department of agriculture, since the last plague, has made an exhaustive study of the subject, and all the information in the possession of the government Is at the disposal of the farmers. Ry aggressive measures in each locality where there is any sign of the locusts, t'he danger of a plague can be avoided. ? Father and Son Convicted. At Annlston, Ala., Gross Pearee, 17 years old, was convicted Saturday of killing Sarge Kennedy las January as the culmination of the Pearce-Kennedy fued and sentenced to serve 20 years as a state convict. When the verdict was announced the mother of the youth fainted In the court room. His father, Dr. J. E. Pearee, was convicted Easter morning for murder In connection with the feud. \ IMPORT MUCH COTTON AMAZING FIGURES ANNOUNCED BY THE GOVERNMENT Sixteen Million Dollars Worth of the Egyptian Cotton Was Brought Into This Country Last Year. That the requirements of the cotton goods industry necessitates the i i-ii * fiA AAA luipui lUUUU VI ajjpiVAiiunici/ uv.uvv,000 pounds of Egyptian cotton, costing $16,000,000, is probably unknown to the majority of readers who read of the enormous crops of cotton produced in our Southern states and learn that during the last seven months all records have been broken and practically $500,000,000 worln of that staple has been exported. But it was the considerable value of this import that induced the United State department of agriculture, several years ago, to endeavor to develop Egyptian cotton culture in the United States in order to supply our own market with a home-grown product. Although experiments were made at different points from South Carolina to Texas, as well as in western Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and southern California, it was only in the Colorado river region that climatic and other conditions similiar to those in the Nile valley, and suited to the long staple Egyptian cotton, were found. There, GOO,000 acres of excellent land are, or soon will be, under ditch in the imperial, Yuma, Salt and Cila valleys, and one-fifth this acreage could produce the amount of Egyptitn cotton annually imported for the use of New England's mills. For several years studies and experiments with the various eastern varieties have been undertaken in southern Arizona, southeastern California, and Egypt, and several bulletins have been issued giving detailed reports of the progress made and success achieved. Just now the department has issued another pamphlet (Bulletin 210, bureau of plant industry), reporting the results of a visit to the cotton growing districts of Egypt in June and July, 1910, of the bionomist of the department, in which is shown that the mixture of Hindi cotton is proving to be a serious burden upon the Egyptian cotton industry. Hind is the name applied in Egypt to an undesirable type of cotton with a short, weak fiber, that injures the high-grade Egyptian varieties by infesting them with hybrids. 'i ne introduction ui iu? r^.viH uiu uuiton into the United States brings also the problem of the Hindi cotton and the practicability of establishing t commercial culture of the Eqyptian cotton in the United States depends largely upon the elimination of Hindi contaimination and other forms of diversity, so that the fiber may be produced in a satisfactory condition of uniformity. Breeding experiments have shown that it is possible to secure a much higher degree of uniformity in Arizona than now exists in most of the coton fields of Egypt. If reasontble care be used in maintaining the uniformity of these types, it does not seem that the American grown Egy rattan cotton is likely to suffer any commercial distdvantage on that ground of lack of uniformity, even though the Egyptian habit of liandsortlng is not followed. The exclusion of the Hindi cotton by an efficient system of selection will enable white varieties to be grown, produing longer and stronger fiber than the brown varieties are likely to afford and will further the development and preservation of uniform strains of Egyptian cotton in the United States. ? Produces Varied Emotions. The advent of May Hay produces varied emotions. To the sentimental young lady steeped in folk lore and Tennyson it brings thoughts garlands of flowers and the crowning of the May cjueen. i no mougni.3 an? ui a less romantic and pleasant character that como to the householder v ho sees his household effects piled on a furniture van and who in tho h.?rd experience of movJnir is uncertain where ho shall sleep that night. To the employers of labor and to the .business world generally P?'av Day means anxiety because in these days of disputes between labor a id capital it is t.ne day when strikes and ioekout.s are usually inaugurated. Such proved the case in our largo c?'ics this year It means thousands of men out of work, machinery idle, mills and factories closed, and losa of capital. It also means great inconvenience to tho general public. Fortunately in this country no violence or disorder has occurred, thus showing that labor Is learning selfrestraint and patience. In so far as the demands of labor are just and reasonable (and Mm* nuiim11v tliA iverhans) pub lie sympathy is with it. But strikes on the one hand and lockouts on the other are, after all, but crude and barbarous ways of settling disputes that arise between labor and capital and they generate much bad feeling. Seeing how essential both are to each other, some method ought to be devised whereby the issues that arise may be amicably adjusted without any workman laying down his tools or any employer locking his factory or mill. / PEACE IN SIGHT Diaz Anaaacas Willtapess ( Resif a at hoMnl ( iexic*. BEFORE FIRST OF JUNE I)e La Bara, Minister of Foreign Affairs "Will Take Charge With Madero Acting as Chief Adviser.? Treaty of Peace Expected to Follow Surrender of Diaz. Advices from Mexico City is to the effect that President Diaz and Vice President Corral will resign before June 1. Francisc-o de la Barra, minister of foreign relations, will be-j come provisional president ad interim. Francisco I. Madero, the reolutionary leader, will be called to the city of Mexico to act as de la Barra's chief adviser and as the greatest guarantee possible that every pledge made by the goernment will be carried out. As viewed by the public it will be virtually a joint presidency, pending the calling of a new presidential election. The cabinet will "be reorganized. The minister of war will be named by de la Barra. The foreign oflce will be in charge of a sub-secretary named by de la Barra. Other cabinet members will be chosen by de la Barra end Madero acting jointly. A new election will be railed within six months. Political amnesty will be recommended to the chamber of deputies. These are the conditions upon which President Diaz will compromise. Virtually they are admitted in high Quarters to be a complete surrender to the revolutionists. The resignation of Diaz and the "joint" regency" of de la Barra and Madero are said to constitute a guarantee so complete that the original insurrecto demand for 14 governors no longer needs to be considered. The cabinet was in almost continual session for two days and despite the severe illness of President Diaz. The president's entire face is infected from an ulcerated tooth. He speaks with the greatest difllculty, but while he is in severe pain, his condition is not regarded as calling for alarm at this time, despite his advanced age. The government's c-onditions were telegraphed to Judge Carabajal on Wednesday afternoon with instructions to submit them to Gen. Madero. If they are accepted, which is regarded as certain, an armistice covcoering the entire republic of Mexico will be signed. Inasmuch as the government believes it has made every concession that the revolutionists have requested, it is firmly believed that a treaty of peace will follow. Without abating one lot of their .admiration for the man who has made modern Mexico, the public receied the announcement of his in+ ?"k*w1.rw1 v?/iai(Tnntl /\n xt'l t h nt*Apnii n /I U'lL MUCH I CSI5UU tivu n Hit |ri v/iv/uiivi ?m??isfaction. Since the battle of Juarez they have realized that the president's renunciation of his high ofhce alone could bring about peace. Business throughout the republic has suffered severely and the people generally were eager for an honorable peace. World's Naked Millions. In an article in Leslie's President Hobbs, of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, says "it is estimated that there are now on the earth 1,500,000,00 persons of whom only 500,000,000 are completely while 750,000,00 are only partly clothed and 250,000 practically do not possess any clothing at all. it is further estimated that to clothe the whole of humanity would require 4 2,000,000 bales of cotton each year instead of about 1 7,000,000 the last year's production of the world. With the increases of machinery which have been made, it is evident that the consumption of the mills of the world on full time would not be less than 20,000,000 bales. The query thus arises: "Where will the additional amount of cotton needed for the world and its increasing population come from? I think I am not too optimistic to believe that from the present acreage the American production could be doubled if proper methods were used, and it is along such lines that our friends in the? south must, work to secure the best results for themselves and the spinners." When this additional cotton * * i- - ? ? e 4L A Oa..IU is neeuen rue Lturiuera ul vuo ouutu will supply it. They have kept pare with the demand, and they will continue to do so. We believe that the time will come when the South will produce 50,000,000 bales of cotton alone. That will bo a good many years hence, .but she will do it when that much cotton is needed to cloth tihe naked millions of the earth. When four or five bales of cotton is made to the acre it will be an easy matter to make 50,000,000 bales. ? ? It is advisable for our people to let "get-rich-quick" scheme alone. Read the testimony in the wireless telegraph tscheme now being tried in New York, and you will be convinced of this fact. THEY WANT WILSON SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN SAYS HE IS THE MAN. Wilson is Strong With Bryan, Although He Once Bolted the Ticket With Bryan On It. The correspondent of the Spartanburg Herald says the correspondent In Washington of one of the leading papers of the south claims to have made a poll of the Democrats in Congress for his paper 011 presidential preferences, with special references to Woodrow Wilson. TTI? A 11? M ril? iiuuiiiks ill V ouiuuicu up an iur lows: That Woodrow Wilson has the support of about four in every five members he has interviewed. That he is especially strong in the south. That while Northern people regard him as a northern or eastern man and in general have little knowledge of his southern origin and relationships, the southern people all look upon him as a southern man and are greatly attached to him on this account. That in the south generally Wilson is regarded as even more of a southerner than Champ Clark. Missouri is regarded as a border or western state. Wilson gets the full advantage of being a Virginian. That Champ Clark's boom has decidedly receded in the month since Congress met and the Wilson movement has correspondent^ gained. That since the graft revelations In the Ohio legislature the Harmon sentiment has waned even faster than before. Commenting on the result of the poll a Washington newspaper Wednesday say, "General confirmation of this view is unavoidable wherever one mingles among public men In Washington. Republicans generally think Wilson will be nominated by the Democrats, but many of them candidly talk Rryan, hoping that Rryan may yet be named and believing that Rryan would be the best man for the 1 Republicans. "Mr. Wilson's western trip is being followed with the utmost interest, because it is expected to develop more definite signs of the sentiment of that section, which has always most sturdily stood by Rryan. Thus far representatives has indicated that Wilson looks good to the old-time Rryan followers. 'Moreover, Mr. Rryan himself is reported very well pleased with the person and the performance of the Jersey governor albeit Wilson has not a record of regularity in support of Bryan. Ouglit to l>e n Change. There has just come to an end in the State of New York a law suit which affords a striking illustration of the inefficiency of the American judicial and lawmaking systems, says the Cleveland Leader. The plaintiff and defendant married sisters and became partners in business. They were unable to agree, quarreled and went to law. That was in 1883/ Kver since they have been fighting the case hack and forth through the court. The expense involved aggregates half a million dollars, most of which was paid to the 93 lawyers that were employed, from time to time. Death has claimed 16 of the Hi judges oerore wiium me w ;ta brought, as well as 4 2 of the 2 Hi witnesses. The final decision came only a few days ago, after 23 years of litigation. Of course, this case is a rare one and its duration is undounbtedly due primarily to the obstinacy and implacability of the litigants. Hut if there was not a good cause for action the case should have been thrown out of court at the start. Tf there was a good cause for action it should not have been possible to delay the awarding of justice for 23 years and pile up half a million dollars of expense. l)ie<l at the Reunion. Two additional deaths among the veterans attending the Confederate reunion at Little Rock, Ark., occurred Wednesday night. W. M. Rivers of West Point, Ga., aft^r having been taken ill at the union passenger station, died in a fe whours. W. L. Galloway, of Paris, Tenn., fell from the second floor of the Pea body school building and died in a few moments. Caused by Dad Health. Col. Honry O. Selxas. a widely known financier and a director of many prominent industrial corporations, committed suicide in Central Park New York Saturday afternoon bv shooting himself. Col. Selxas was about, seventy years of age. He had been in bad health for some months.* A good deal is said about the "City Beautiful," and that is well, 'for the more attract'v-e the people make their home surroundings and the general appearance of their city the better it is in every way. Yet it is well to note that, while esthetics lly a city may look very beautiful, it may morally and politically he very corrupt. In truest sense that city is the most beautiful in which exists eternal beauty and cleanness of character go hand in hand. In working for one kind of beauty citizens should also work for the other.
