HE IS SHOWN UP Smtw WViaa* P*ut Oal lactttiUeacj afSeaatar Cmiip. IE WAS ON BOTH SIDES # Kd . ^ low ad Argues Against Canadian Reciprocity and John Sharp Williams Cites 1004 Speech in which Cummins Favored Putting Farm Products in Free IJst. WT a oli I r? art /in rnrr/JHnnnflPTI t n f 1 1AC TT UOUll 15IVM vvi * vw1/vMx?'vMv w The News ana Courier says the general opinion of disinterested auditors of the colloquy in the Senate Thursday between Senators Cummins of Iowa, and Williams, of Missippi, that the brilliar/. Southerner routed the Icwan, horse, foot and dragoon. The deed was accomplished by the apt citation of a speech delivered by Mr. Cummings several years ago in advocacy of reciprocity, particularly with regard to farm products. There Is wide recognition of the fact that an John Shtrp Wi'liams the South has added another tc the g.alaxy of g^eat Senator.?. Senator Cummings continued his argument against the Canadian reciprocity bill, but did not conclude. He attacked this measure from the standpoint not only of its alleged injustice and political Inexpediency, but on the grounds that it was not properly drawn as a tariff law. If passed in its present form, he said, the agreement would give Canada the option of reorganizing onehalf of it without accepting it all. The statement, explained in detail by the Iowan, drew the attention of the Senate, many members questioning the Interpretation thus put upon rne dui as sunt tu tuu^icss vj tuc President. Senator Cummins said the passaet of the bill would be followed by a storm of disapproval, against which the Republican party could not stand. He said it would be accepted by the agricultural interests as notice that the Congress had determined they were not entitled to the same consideration at its hands that is given to the other producers of the land. "Mo self-respecting nation can accept without qualification the Canadian reciprocity agreement in the exact form proposed to us," declared Senator Cummings. He declared he believed in tariff revision, "but mark my words," he said, "the people of this country, with unerring judgment and intelligence, will know who is responsible for putting the farmer Into free and unlimited competition in what he sells, while still protecting the things that he buys." Senator Williams, of Mississippi, Interrupted to read from Senator Cumming'e inaugural address in Iowa In 1904. In this speech Mr. Cummings expressed the belief that the Iowa farmer would not suffer from free Canadian agriculutral products more than they do from the competition of nearby States. "I remember that speech," said Senator Cummins. "But It seems the Senator Is now most inconsistent in his views," said Mr. Williams. "I am not," said Senator Cummins, "ten or even seven years ago, there was not the danger of competition of Canadian farm products that there Is now, when t^e United States almost ceased to be an exporter of fluch products." ? ? * TURKS ON THE RAMPAGE. ? Districts Devastated and Women and Children Butchered. The situation in Albania Is extremely critical. Turkey has massed 50,000 troops within a day's march of the Montenegrin frontier. Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, who has just arrived at Vienna from Cettinje after traversing Albania, says the Turks are devastating whole districts, killing prisoners, burning houses and crps and blowing up tho churches. A large body of Albanian women and children is now caught between two wings of the Turkish army and escape is impossible. Mr. Crane adds that 25,000 women and children have fled to 'Montenegro and are starving there, their only means of subsistenence being boiled grass and variou sroote the> are able to gather. Held on Serious Charge. At Macon, Ga., Charles Doctor, th< young musician who is charged witl criminally assaulting Leah Cohen, t 13-year-old girl and the daughter o: Rabbi Cohen, is in jail. It was ex pected that he would have a prelimi nary trial Thursday, but he has no asked for It. Doctor has offered t< marry the girl, but her relatives wil not consent. ? ? ^ Drown in River. The bodies of Albert J. Handtman a prominent club man and athlete, o jfc. Cincinnati, ad Miss Anna Kees known on the vaudeville stage ai |0 Bonie Hampton, were found in tin Ohio river Thursday. They had beei missing since Thursday week and i was supposed they had eloped. ' PRICES ARE HIGHER ? THE COST OF TEXT HOOK SOMEWHAT INCREASED. But Then It Is Presumed That the Books Selected Are Better Than the Old Ones. The new books adopted by the State board of education for the free public schools of South Carolina will cost the patrons of the school some more than the books now used according to comparative figures made up at the office of the State superintendent of education. The increased expense is shown in the following comparative statement of the cost of new and old books prepared by Mr. Swearingen: Primer. Cost of old Primer 12 Cost of new Primer 25 Increase over 100 per cent. During the five year period 19061911 13 5,000 primers were sold. Upon that basis the total increase to the pupils of the State will be $17,-! 680.00. Readers. Cost of old First Reader 2 0 Cost of new First Reader 25 Increase 25 per cent.

DEPRESS PRICE OF COTTOX. A Plot for That Purpose Said to Have Been Formed. A Washington dispatch to The State says a bull and bear war has broken out again although on a small scale, because it developed there on Wednesday in the hearing of the committee on expenditures in the department of justice that there has been a studied effort on the part of Northern spinners for the last four years to curtail the output of cotton goods in order to force down the prices of the staple. Books of the Arkwright club which have just been exhibited to Congressman Beall of Texas led him to say that interesting disclosures might be expected any day in view of the actions of Attorney General Wickersham last year when the bull and bear movements were the issues of the day. While it is too early to say what the outcome of the matter will be there is a feeling that spinners from both the North and South will be summoned to testify before the comi mittee to ascertain whether the cotton market had suffered because of the agreement of the Northern men to curtail their production and to what extent the Southern spinners , responded. ? Klks Clul) Raided. ; At Talladega, Ala., Thursday Sher' iff Connett raided the Elk's club, securing fifteen casks of beer and fifteen cases of whiskey. This is the largest raid ever made In the state j of Alabama. The Elks are highly in I elignant. The entire city of Talladegf t is in a state of excitement as the f result of the raid. Put Out His Eyes. At Atlantic City, N. J., Harrj t Adams, a wealthy bath house own > er, lost his sight by seeing a bolt oi 1 lightning reflected in a mirror Adams fell unconscious though un touched by the thunder bolt. ? ? Two Brothers Injured, f As a result of a railroad accidenl , at Majolica, six miles west of Sailsa bury, N. C., on the Southern railroad 9 Tuesday afternoon, Ralph Johnston i here. The brothers had been on c t fishing trip and boarded an incoming freight to Salisbury. i TWO GIRLS WIN IN RAFFLE AND ARE AWARDED A LIFE PARTNER. A Novel Manner of Raising Money at a Church Lottery Held in Philadelphia, Pa. It is quite the thing in Philadelr?hln nnui fnr n ^Irl tn taka a chanpfl in a husband. That sounds as if it were not new, but the fact is that a girl at a fair can put her hand in a grab bag and pull out a husband if she is lucky. Miss Mary Doyle did almost that at the fair for the benefit of St. Gregory's Roman Catholic Church Wednesday night. She and several thousand young women bought tickets in lottery for a husband whose identity was carefully hidden. St. Gregory's rector vouchsafed that the prize would make a good husband, and announced that lie would perform the marriage ceremony gratis. As an additional inducement a diamond ring was thrown in with the husband The drawing for the one capital prize was held on the porch of the headquarters of the church fair committee Wednesday night. Miss Jennie Woodhouse held a box full of numbers. Miss Mary Muray. blindfolded, thrust her hand in the oox and drew forth a number. The girl who held that number was the winner. The united heart pit-a-pats of the hundreds of girls assembled were almost audible. "No. 10G9 wins" I announced Miss Woodhouse. After mucn fluttering it was discovered that Mrs. Doylo held 16 69. Her envious co-gamblers in the game of love thrust her forward and she was directed to step on the porch and discover her "winnings" wuo was hidden behind a screen. An orchestra played the wedding march from "Lohengrin." With a pretty, petulant gesture Miss Doyle knocked down the screen. There stood William Bowers, known to all the girls of the church, "the bashful bachelor." lie was blushing furiously. Besides he wore evening clothes, except that he had on a green necktie. "Pshaw" said Miss Doyle in a tone that made Bowers blush a deeper crimson, "I know Mr. Bowers is verv nice, but I don't want a husband that costs me only ten cents." She gave up the diamond ring too. Bowers will be raffled off again, next time to buy a new organ for i the church. Miss Doyle may change her mind lasrain. Miss Catherine N. Flanagan did this afternoon. Pity, as well as budding affection, seems to have inspired Miss Flanagan, for she said: "Nobody loves a fat man, so I'll marry him." She held the ticket that won Thomas Skelley as husband at the fair of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Skelly is six feet tell and weighs 280 pounds. His identity which has been a baffling mystery for a week, during which the fair has been in progress, was disclose^ simultaneously with the announcement that he belonged to Miss Flanagan if she wanted him Skelly mounted a chair and said he had entered the affair in a spirit of fun, but since he had seen Miss Flanagan he was willing and anxious to relinguish his bachelor life. Miss Flannagan blushed prettily and it was agreed. ? JURY INVITED TO BARBECUE. But Judge Spear Says They Cannot Attend the Affair. Announcement in the newspapers that four prominent planters of Pulaski county, who were recently ac"1 " ' - " t n fhn TTllltoH qui lieu Ol |Jtruuafsc in uiv States court at Macon, Ga., were to celebrate their acquittal on July 4 with a big barbecue and that an invitation had been extended to the 12 jurors to be guests of honor, has provoked from Judge Emory Spear of the United States court a warning to the jurors not to attend. Thu judge takes the position that it Is against the law to tamper with a jury. He says that the names of the men are in the jury box yet, they are on the jury list and may be called upon to try a similar case. Several 1 of the jurors announce that they will 1 attend the 'cue despite the remarks of {he judge. ? ? ? Still Another Victim.

Some More Hot Air. t The Augusta Chronicle says Feldoi - made the statement in Atlanta WedI nesday night that he will shortly be? gin showing by oral and documentan i evidence, that "Blease is a mora! ; degenerate, and unfit to sit in a con< vention of 'buzzards'." r SCORES CARNEGIE FUND ATTEMPT TO MONOPOLIZE HIGHER EDUCATION. Priest Asserts That It Will Have Effect, Also, on Legislation Aimed at Steel Trust. A scathing attack on the aims and alleged tendencies of the Carnegie foundation was the somewhat sensational feature of the opening session of the convention of the National Educational association at Chicago Tuesday. In an exhaustive address the Rev. 'I11 -va a4U ?r I)m/\nnn 1* O T mmm/i I A mm i i iiiiuiii/ iji UDiittiiau, o. ?i.f picaiut'iu of Loyola university, Baltimore, arraigned the foundation, and his views were supplemented by a general discussion. In the course of his address Father Bresnahan said: "A fund of $15,000,000 in bonds of the United States Steel corporation providing retaining allowances for certain institutions will enlist the interest of influential personages in the stability of the Pittsburg millionaire's industrial institution. "These, we may reasonably suppose, would scarcely look impartially on legislative enactment that would imperil the value of their securities. The result of investing the Uniteo States Steel corporation bonds in the foundation could scarcely have escaped the accumen of so acute a business man. "The Carnegie foundation affords a motive to university and college presidents for discharging, professors when they have reached the dead line If the evils of depotism are in store for us should we permit monopoly of education by the governmen, which after all can be called to be account., wnai may we expect. lrum a private, permanent, self-perpetuating corporation backed by millions of dollars and irresponsible to the public, whose one aim is to bring into disrepute schools under definite religious control; to bind together nonsectarian schools selected mostly for their actual or prospective strength; through them to get control of the higher education of the country, and finally to establish educational unity and coherency by an educational system necessarily hostile and skeptical in its attitude toward religious truth?" - A Weighty Sentence, "It their current issues several periodicals, including The World's Work and The Saturday Evening Post contain articles well calculated to arouse the Insurgents to rally around Robert M. La Follette and insist upon upon his nomination by the Republican party next year," says The State. "Wrtth the administration certain of practically solid support from Southern Republicans and with Eastern Republicans as unanimously opposed to a President of La Follette's ideas, there now appears no chance ? ? /\ ^ i rt n f i cv n n f Oil oVl Q tn 1 Tl flOYt U 1 lilt? 111.7 1 II I 1 I (I I 1W 11 UI OU Vlt u llllin ..V/..V year, but the Wisconsin senator is not averse to playing the political game against heavy odds, and while he has weakened himself before the country at large, by his attitude against reciprocity with Canada, as President Taft has gained friends through his bold advocacy of it, it seems fairly certain La Follette will oppose Taft for the Republican nomination. "La Follette will not be nominated; he may make a rather small showing of strength, hut one exceedingly important fact must be remembered: As La Follette now leads the little band of Senators who constitute the balance of power in that body, so his followers will hold the balance in an election for President." "With that fact in mind," continues The State, "let us consider the significance of the closing lines of William Bay.ard Hale's article on i^a Follette in The World's Work for July: A visitor had long to wait for his turn. "I come to shake the hand of the next President," he said. "Thank you very much," said the Senator in his host manner ai <1 with his extra-expansion smile. "Thank you very much for your i good wishes for me. But as I wish you well too I must advise you that if you want to strike the right man, you had better shake t hands with a few dozen other gentlemen." ? "Is It worth while to go to the t other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, ? Senator," quizzed the visitor. "Well," replied the Senator, "it's a very hot day, and that is a long trip. But don't forget to go to Trenton, New Jersey." "The leader of the Republican In - surgents tell a visitor that if he wouh 1 he sure to shake hands with the nex 7 President he must be sure tc shak< > hands with Woodrow Wilson. A sen fence of such significance to Demo crats has not been spoken sine Grover Cleveland's first campaign. I means, if it means anything, that i the Democrats nominate a clean - strong, progressive man whose sin - cerity for government in oehalf o r the multitude can not be Questioned I the Insurgent Republicans will no permit Mr. Taft to triumph at th polls." rri- " BANK OF (Jonwaj Has largest capital and surplus of an than the combined capital and surpli CAPITAL STOCK SURPLUS. . . .

The State savs much interest is being manifested in the action of the State Board of Education in ellminat ing about 80 per cent of tbe text books now used by tbe free pu 1)1 ic i schools of South Carolina. The members of the State board of education are: I"). M. O'Drlscoll, ! Charleston; H. F. Rice, Jr., Aiken; ! D. W. Daniel, Clemson college; A. O. . Rembe-rt, Spartanburg; J. Lyles Glenn, Chester; Nathan Toms, Darlington; A. J. Thackson, Orangeburg; J. E. Swearingen, the State superintendent of education, is the secretary of the board and the governor is the ox-ofUcio chairman. i\fr. Swearingen several days ago issued a statement in which he criticized the board for the sweeping changes in text-books. Ho charged that the board had placed an unnecessary tax of several hundred thousand dollars upon the people of the State. The action of the board has caused much comment and further developments in connection with the situation are expected. ? ? Ignored Governor (llensc. A special dispatch from Atlanta to the Augusta Chronicle says the statement is made that Governor Blease, of South Carolina, being ignored in - sending out invitations to the unveilj ing of the monument to the "Old t Guard" there this fall?and he Is o the only governor in the South thus - ignored?is not due to the fact that - he did not attend the conference, but e rather is due entirely to his action t in and conduct in reference to the f Pelder case. Gov. Blease has made Mr. Leon f (St Green, the Columbia correspondeI, nt of The News and Courier a lieut tenant-colonel and attached him to e his staff.
