Died or admitted that he wrote the
letters published by T. B. Felder
over the Governor's signature. Thib
has caused some comment, but the
friends of Governor Blease say the
matter will all be cleared up as
soon as Felder is hauled up, which
he hopes will be soon.
Col. H. II. Evans was asked while
what have you to say about it. He
in Columbia if he had seen Folder's
article about Governor Blease and
wheat have you to say about it. He
made the following statement in
writing to the Greenville News for
respondent:
"Yes, T read Folder's article in the
Atlanta Constitution. I do not know
who the alleged letter was written to
by Blease as the addressee's name
is not given by Felder. As far as the
"Hub" is concerned in the said letter
T presume that it applies to Hub
H. Evans, as was the only man of
the name ui jiu,b that was ever on
the board of directors. Felder and
the addressee are both inf.amous liars
as I have never turned over to Cole.
L. Blease $500 or any other moneys.
And there is not a man living in the j
world that knows better than Tom !
Felder that I did not do it. If I >
had done so every man who knows j
Blease knows he would have too i
much sense to have acknowledged it
in writing; for whatever else may
have been or may be said of him, not
even his bitterest political enemies
have accused liim of being a fool.
Not only that, what inducement
could have possibly been bought
* upon me to deliver over to Cole L.
Blease $5 00 or any other moneys?
All of my friends and enemies know
that Hub Evans did not give Cole ,

"Felder is known far and wide as

DEBATE WAS BITTER
?
TRUSTS ASSAILED IN SPEECHES
ON THE WOOL TAX.
?
Underwood, Democratic Leader,
Charges American Woolen Company
witli Forcing Adoption of
Schedule K.
Bitterness of political debate such
as has not characterized any of the
opening tariff skirmishes of the
present session of congress, cropped
out in tlio .beginning of the wool
tariff discussion in the house Wednesday.
~ -..T TT..J .1 ?1, nf a

ways and means committee, devoted
the afternoon to an explanation of
the proposed revision of the wool
tariff and to an attack upon the
Payne tariff law and the Republican
party.
lie was met at almost every stage
of his argument by replies from
Senator Payne, ranking Republican
member on the ways and means
committee, and by other Republicans
who questioned his statements and
his arguments.

Democratic charge that tlie Payne
law h|ad not fulfilled Republican
promises of tariff revision; and he
criticised in detail Mr. Underwood's
statements that the country's revenue
was declinin/gt and the treasury
approaching a deficit.
(Mr. Payne will lead the opposition
of the Democratic bill and probably
will make the opening speech. No
limit has been set to the debate, and
while it is Mr. Underwood's hope
that it will be concluded with in
week, it is expected to last well into
the second week.
Mr. Underwood declared that the
American Woolen company had dictated
to the Republican congress on
the wool tariff.
"There is nobody in this country
who does not know that the American
Woolen company fixes the price,"
said Mr. Underwood; "that it is a
monopoly, that it is a trust, and that
that industry and that company dictated
to a Republican house, when
they prohibited you from reducing
the exorbitant rates under schedule
K in the last congress."
Critioising the present tariff board,
Mr. Underwood said that if that
body "went on for 10 years as it is
jgoing at present, we would not get
enough information on the wool
schedule to write a tariff bill."
While not questioning "the sincerity
of honesty of purpose of President
Taft," Mr. Underwood said he
wns convinced that "either the board
was convinced hat "either the board
refused to give up facts we called
for, even with the president's sanction,
or else the board has wasted a
quarter of a million dollars in its
work."

"Guilty with recommendation to

by the twelve men selected to
decide the fate of Ernest E. Grimsley,
who shot and killed Mrs. Ttosa
Bessinger and her nephew, W.alter
Saudi for, one month and one day ago
on last Wednesday. The tragedy
occurred in the Acme lunch room on
Taylor street, Columbia.
Grimsley was tried on the
specific charge of murdering Mrs.
Ressinger. It will he remembered
that the double murder was the result
of some words about a roll,
which Grimsley contended he was entitled
to with a bowl of soup.

Oliio Mob After Negroes.
Fear of a mob demonstration
against the two negroes accused of
implication in the murder of O. F.
Rowers about a week ago, led officers
to remove the prisoners from
Wellsville to the county jail at Lisbon,
Ohio Monday. A crowd was
gathering when the negroes were
spirited away.
Be quick about this and get in
first with your answer for our Governor
has not yet told us if the communication
handed out by him and
signed T. B. was a forgery.

THE
WOOL SPUT FIXED
Apparently the Individuals Are Willing
to Subordinate Their Personal
Preferences to the Public Policy,
and Have the Republicans Guessing
What the Outcome WTill He.
The Washington correspondent of
The State says the House Democrats
have the Republicans guessing. Hong
before this it was the fond
hope of ths latter that a split would
occur which would send the followers
of Thomas Jefferson to the eternal
bowbows, .but the spectacle of a
perfect organfzation among the Democrats
is the thing that is worrying
the Republican leaders as they contemplate
the 1912 situation. The
latest example of what organization
can accomplish is afforded by the
house caucus 011 the wool tariff.
In this instance the members oa
the Democratic side, seemingly divided
hopelessly, went into a meeting
and, instead of throwing brickbats
and coming to blows, got
through a resolution on which both
the friends and the enemies of a
duty on raw wool were able to stand
and present at least a semblance of
peace and unity.
It had been hoped by the Republicans
that the Democrats would
split irreparably over the question
n tnriff r?r> V 1 v?r Wflfll HMl O T?0111]b
UL a L Cl 1 J 1L VII ?? ?? wm. * ? V ? ?
licans, therefore, are deeply disappointed
to see that the democrats are
not going to make .any bad breaks
prior to 3 912, .and that the result
will probably be the election of a
Democratic president and a Democratic
senate and another Democratic
house.
Shrewd observers perceive, of
course, that the Democrats are in
reality split over the question of tariff.
(More particularly, there is a
wide division of opinion over the
question of free raw materials. But
from the standpoint of practcal politics
the question that is facing the
Republican leaders is whether the
Democrats are going to be able to
conceal their differences in the main
until after the 1912 campaign.
Some indications are given that
the Democrats will be able to do
this. The house Democratic leaders
in particular are bending every effort
in this direction. That is why
they .are so mad at Bryan for stirring
up the free raw wool issue.
But having for the time quieted
things as to wool, the house leaders
hope there will be peace. As the
result of their efforts, most of the
house Democrats are fully convinced
that the one thing of supreme
importance now is to have the Democratic
party win in 1912, and that
for this reason individuals should
subordinate their views and promote
the party welfare. That is why the

important matters and bind practically
the entire Democratic membership
to a certain course of action.
Republican members of the house,
especially the insurgents, are protesting
against the rule of caucus by
the Democrats. They insist that the
sway of the Democratic leaders in
the house today, though in different
form, is just as tyrannical as the
rule of Cannon. They say the steam
roller was never applied more ruthlessly
in the days of Cannon than
it is being applied now by the reigning
forces in the house. They say
that t^rouigh thfc medium of the
caucus the control of the house b>
a small coterie of leaders is made
possible, and this is just what is
happening.
Rut, however, much kicking there
may be among insurgent Republicans
or Democrats against the method of
rule by caucus, it looks as though
this method would continue in the
house for the present. So long as the
nr.t>,n/>i.n H/i r\f /-nno'rouq poll

vinced the party Is going to win in
1912, differences of opinion will be
stink to a considerable extent. At
least this is what is happening in
the house. In the senate there
is less sLzn that the cry of harmony
in order to win In 1912 will control
senators. Already the senate
Democrats have split on reciprocity,
and if general tariff revision comes
up, they will be more badly divided.
However, if the men of the senate
follow the lead of those In the house
the olive branch will wave, and the
Democrats will go into the White
House in 1912.

THE COTTON PICKER
WILL IT BE A BENEFIT TO THE
COTTON GROWERS.
Mr. Lewis W. Parker Thinks it Will
Put Many mot Them Out of the
Business.
Wednesday, In his address before
the graduating class of the South
Carolina University, Mr. Lewis W.
Parker summed up in masterful
manner the Industrial situation of
today In the South In general and
cjrtufii Pornlinii In nnrll.pnlnr lonkliiar
conditions squarely in the face and
recognizing opportunities of the future.
Speaking of the cotton picker
he said:
"There has recently been perfected
another agricultural implement
which bids fair to have upon the industrial
history of the South an effect
equally as great as that of the
cotton gin, with this difference: The
cotton igiin facilitated the production
of cotton growing states, whereas
there is good reason to believe that
the other invention that of the cotton
picker, may so accellerate the production
of cotton in communities in
which the picker can be used to the
greatest advantage as to make much
less profitable, and possibly later to
nvnlill>lt nitr?i*oflior the nroduction of
cotton in thoso communities and under
thoso conditions in which the
i picker can not be used to igireater advantage.
It is a correct statement
of fact to s?y that the acreage in
cotton and the growth thereof has
been limited heretofore by the picking
capacity of the South generally,
for the limit of what the individual
, planter can cultivate is that which
, he can pick; no man can safely plant
j more than he can pick;- but if provision
be made by which the picking
is tremendously aoeellerated, then
there can be correspondingly an int
crease in acreage if that be necessary?or
certainly such increase in
improved methods of culture through
' the use of machinery .as to cause a
great increase in the number of bales
i grown.
Heretofore, there has been little
inducement to use the most improved
methods of culture and agri(
cultural impj^ments for the reai
son that this decreased during the
, period of culture the amount of la.
bor required and left the planter
I without necessary labor to pick, upon
I the maturity of the crop. If, however,
* * At 1? IV, A
| reuer is giiven inruugu me euuun
picker towards the reaping of the
. harvest, there will certainly be ap(
plied those agricultural implements
I that will decrease the amount of labor
in the growth of the crop.
These agricultural implements, as
also the picker itself, can unques!
tionably be used to much greater adj
vantage in the bottoms of the Misj
sissippi and other rivers, and upon
i the plains of Texas, Oklahoma and
j Arkansas, in the fertile fields of the
I Pee Dee and Savannah, than they
| can be in the hilly section of the Car!
alinas and Georgia and Alabama. It
is not an unnatur.il expectation that,
i with the development of the cotton
picker and its successful use, cotton
culture will bo gradually restricted
to those communities where
the picker, the steam plow and similar
implements can be used most
advantageously.
This is not necessarily to be regarded
as an unmixed evil, in our
state, for even in an agricultural
j view it may become ia blessing as
j tending to force upon our people a
. rli versification of crops, which has
rot heretofore existed. But as the
! effect of this action will be to lersen
the number required upon the
farm, and, correspondingly, to inoresae
the movement to the towns,
it is well to consider what is to become
of this \1rb3n population and
how it is to be employed."

FATAL EARTHQUAKE
Earthquake at Mexico City Kills at ^
Least 150 Persons.
Rolling frorti coast to tcoast
through Mexico Wednesday's earthquake
brought death to at least 150 .
persons, according to latest accounts: V
received at Mexico City Thursday
night. The area of the quake was
rectangular in form, the lower part
being along the state of Guerrea.
The death toll grows .as belated reports
come in. Fifty-nine corpses
have been taken from the ruins in
Ocelan, Jalisco. It will never be
known how many perished in villages
in remote patrs of the quake zone.
It is estimated, however that at
least 150 "persons have met death,
but the deaths cannot be accurately
numbered. Not many persons were
killed In the city of Colima, but a
considerable amount of damage was
done.'

Boilermakers on Strike.
Between a thousand and twelve^
hundred boiler makers in the Bald-win
Locomotive works at Philadelphia,
went on a strike Thursday
without the sanction, .it is said of the
national officers of the Boiler Makers
Union. No wage question was involved.
The trouble is due to the
laying off of twelve hundred men recently.
The union men assert that
the men were forced out because^
they joined labor organizations.
