WEIGHT OF COTTON
CHARLESTON EXCHANGE SENDS
OUT CIHCULAH.
Farmers Requested to rack All Cotton
in Standard Size and Uniform
Weight Hales.
For the information of farmers
and ginners tlie Charleston Cotton
Exchange has had printed and is
distributing resolutions on the standard
weight and measurements of a
bale of cotton, in accord with the
leading exchanges of the country.
The resolution, which is in the form
of a circular letter, follows:
"Charleston, S. C., June 6, 1913.
"To the Cotton Planters and dinners:
"We earnestly beg your attention
to the following important matters
that are of vital concern to your interest,
and we urge you to act in accordance
therewith, promptly and favorably
"Where as, serious loss to the producers
of cotton in the cotton growing
sections of the South has been
caused by irregular packages, inferior
and insufficient covering and
careless handling; and
"Whereas, it is understood that
the Congress of the United States is
contemplating investigation and possible
legislation with the object of
improving conditions; and
"Whereas, it is to the interest and
saving of a largo aoniunt of monev
to our cotton producers to adopt hotter
methods for the packing, baling
and size and weight of a bale of cotton;
and
"Whereas, at ?a general conference
of cotton interests, hold at New Orleans,
March 5, 19 1.1, representing
the cotton exchanges, compass associations.
railroads and steamshin
lines of the North and South Atlantic
and CI 111 f ports, have adopted resolutions
that a standard ginbox be
2 7 inches by 54 inches; that the
standard weight per bale be approximately
500 pounds; and furthermore
that if any bale does not show the
density of 2 2 1-2 pounds per cubic
foot for each bale, if not represses
to the said required density, shall
pay an extra freight of 5 0 cents per
bale; and that any bale of larger
measurement that cannot be pressed
to a minimum of 2 2 1-2 pounds per
cubic foot, shipside, shall pay an extra
freight of $1 per bale. That this
penalty be assessed as soon as possible
after the bale leaves the gin.
Be it
"Resolved, That this Exchange
y deems it advisable and proper to
urge upon the cotton ginners and
producers of this State importance of
having a standard gin-box 2 7 inches
by 5 4 inches, and a standard weight
per bale of 500 pounds approximately,
and that the same bo arranged
for in time for the coming cotton
crop, 1913-1914, thereby making a
saving to them of the penalty hereinbefore
stated, that will be fixed upon
cotton of greater measurement.
"Further Resolved, That the newspapers
of this city be furnished with
a copy of the foregoing preambles
and resolutions and urged to bring
the said matters to the earnest attention
of the parties concerned
tnerein and impress upon mem mo
advantage to be derived therefrom.
"Respectfully,
"Charleston Cotton Exchange."

I
Felder a Slick Article,
Whatever may ,bo our private opinion
of the gentleman, we are compelled
to admit that it is beginning
to be apparent to the innocent bystanders
of whom there are a few
still left in Atlanta, that Colonel
Thomas B. Felder is either innocent
of the charges brought against him,
or that he is shrewder than the
gang who brought the charges.
Whether from superior virtue or
superior wit, Col. Felder is beginning
to get visibly the best of it. This
doesn't merely mean that he can out
cuss and out write detective Chief
Langford. It is more than talk. The
gong has sounded at the end of the
first round and Mr. Felder has retired
to his corner with the points in
his favor.
The first one Mr. Felder put over
was the affidavit from the Gentry
boy saying that the stenographic report
of the dictagraph conversation
had been tampered with, and that
part of it had been faked, as Felder
charged.
The next thing he put over was
In calling the bluff of the police department
which had talked about arresting
him for attempted bribery.
They planned the arrest it is said,
but lost their nerve at the critical
moment.
And the last thing he put over
was when the grand jury formally returned
a no bill against him, clearing
him if the charges made by Detective
I,an ford that Mr. Felder carried
a pistol and had tried to draw
it on him.

Bishop W. A. Candler of the'Methodist
Episcopal Church, South charges
that Andrew Carnegie's donation
of one million dollars to Vanderbilt
university at Nashcvllle has a very
large string tied to it The IMshop
says it is a schemo on the part of
Carnegie to get control of the University
and put hie own tag on it. |
The Bishop is more than half right. I

GUESTS AT A SUICIDE
rilKV OKAYFLY SMOKKI) AS 11F
1IKF1) FATAL SHOT.
Six Chinamen Sat Around and SawSaw
One of Their Number Take
His Own iLfe.
Arrested at Atlantic City, N. J.,
iui inuruLT weunesaay six Chinamen
sedately shook their heads and said
calmly that not by tho Rising Sun
had they any hand in the death by
bullet wound in the head of Ilo Why
laundry proprietor.
Hut this was trancendently true?
they had been the guests of privilege
at Ho Why's suicide party They had
as by the honorable custom ordained
in the writings of Confucius sat
and watched their brother kill himself?"honorably."
they said, shot
himself in the head and "honorably"
die.
There are other, older Chinese
methods that he might have used.
There was the exit of the silken cord
and there was the noble method of
the golden disc. They were amused
at tho police chief of Atlantic City
and his detectives standing around
him, had never heard of the method
of the golden disc One took a thin
disc of gold and placed it on his
tongue A swift intake of breath and
the disc slipped swiftly back and
closed his windpipe and that was
the end, a most honorable end, much
used by mandarins
Ho Why had been in this country
twenty years. He had done much
over tho wash tubs?twenty years of
hard work. He had sent much money
to China to the glorification of
his ancestors, tho aid of his relatives
and the support of the revolu
lion. Hut lie had coughed a great
deal, lie had become woefully thin
and he knew that his revered ancestors
awaited his coming. And also
he had been a failure; he had no son.
Ho Why had carefully drawn the
curtains of his shop window facing
on the street. The friends greeted
him with smiles and went into tlie
rear room. Ho Why acted as host at
a formal hut pleasant dinner?a dinner
in which the pink-tinted dishes
of Anhwet were complemented by
chopsticks of ivory.
After they had feasted Ho Why
arose and laid down his fan. He
went to a little cabinet in the rear
of the room. And when he turned
from it, he bowed?holding now the
revolver of the shining barrel.
His friends were lighting pipes
with long thick bamboo stems and
tiny silver bowls. They watched him
serenely as he placed himself quiet i
rigidly upon a stool.
Ho Why put the revolver muzzle
against his right temple. His friends
removed the pipe stems from their
lips expectantly. The shot was fired
His friends watched him sink in
death; looked at one another; nodded,
puffed again and then Shu Nan
got up and caught Ho Why's corpse
lest it should fall to the floor.
Patrolman Marshal smashed his
way in from the street and arrested
the guests of the "suicide party", but
when the six Chainamen had quietly
exolained thev were released.
Stopped the Non.soii.se.
The New York World says "just
as the New Jersey bosses discovered
that they were dealing with a new
kind of governor in Woodrow Wilson.
so Wall street discovers that it
is dealing with a new kind of President.
For years the government's
established policy in the matter of
financial depression has been simple
and fatal. Washington waited until
the panic had begun, until confidence
and credit were undermined .and
then turned the United States treasury
over to Wall street, while the
stock-gamblers salvaged what they
could from the wreck. The Wilson
policy is to suppress the panic at the
start and not at the finish.
| Nothing could have been moro
timely than Secretary McAdoo's announcement
that he was prepared to
Issue $500,000,000 in emergency
currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland
act. Wall street recovered immediately
from its hysteria and its
bankers, with characteristic patriotism,
began to denounce the secretary
for his "absurd offer". The fact is
now pointed out with <a wealth of detail
that there is plenty of currency
in circulation and that no emergency
currency is necessary, but forty-eight
hours before Wall street was pointing
out with an equal wealth of detail
that one of the disturbing elements
in the situation was the necessity
that would exist in a few weeks
for immense sums of money to move
the crops.
The truth is that there was plenty
of money all (he time, and except
for the condition of the European
money market, there was no reason
whatever for Wall street's .attack of
nerves. Proving it is the most important
service that the treasury has
rendered by its offer of emergency
currency. Wall street's hysteria was
rapidly inoculating tho entire country,
and the Wilson administration
has stopped the nonsense before it
became serious. All of which goes to
prove that "Wall street has a master
in the White House at last, and it is
beginning to know its nvster's
voice," as The Columbia Record says.
That emergency currency knocked
out Wall Street on tho first round.
FIGHT WITH DEATH
Till: CaKIM HFIAI'KH BAFELE1?
11V SENATOR TILLMAN'.
Ho Tolls for the Benefit of Other#
What Ho 1)U1 to Regain in Part
Ills Health.
Some few weeks ago The Times
and Democrat "said Editor E. 11.
Aull of the Newberry and News savs i
ho met Senator Tillman on the train
recently and he was much pleased to
find him "as strong and vigorous us
ho was, both physically and mentally.
His mind is strong and vigorous
and there is much of the old
time fire and snap about the eye.
All the talk about his mind being
weak is unkind and besides unfounded.
He can't eat the big meals that
ho once could but otherwise eoems
entirely well." In commenting on
the above the Columbia Record says:
Death, the universal conquerer,
has had some notablo contests and
many notable victims, but seldom
has he been baffled and held at bay
in a contest fought out before the
pubile eye and on a world arena so
conspicious as in the case of Senator
Tillman. No doubt the senior South
Carolinian's fight against the grim
monster after he had called and given
the word to go on the last dread
journey will go down in the medical
records as one of the most notable
in the professional records.
Three years ago Senator Tillman
was stricken, and for weeks lay
helpless in the shadow of death, as
a writer in the New York Sunday
Sun recites: "His friends and family
lost hope. His colleagues expected
to bo summoned to his funeral.
The newspapers prepared their obituary
sketches, making ready for
what seemed the inevitable. This
was back in 1910.
"Rut the senator refused to yield.
The same grim determination that
marked his political career led him
to make another fight. And lie won
again, as he had won so many times
when the odds against him were not
so great."
"The methods by which the veteran
senator waged and won his fight
were original and heroic, in keeping
with his always resourceful and
strenuous career, lie won by a system
of physical exercise in aid of
nature, that is simple but has proven
marvelously effective in his case. And
in the process he has not only got
rid of the dangerous fatty matter
that accumulates with age, hut he
has gained thirty pounds of good
hard muscle.
"The Senator is back in Washington,
the chairman of a powerful senate
committee, able to walk ten miles
a day and not only do hard work, hut
his mind in some respects is clearer
and truer in its processes than ever
before. 'I didn't mean to let paralysis
kill me,' the senator is quoted as
saying. 'I proposed to get well and
stay here afew years longer.'
He did both by a simple plan of
physical culture, the rules for which
he gives as follows:
"1. Before getting up in the morning,
take the head oft 'he pillow and
stretch out straight. Begin by kicking
backward witn one foot and then
the other, fifteen times each. During
this a i'.'1 other movements, where
counting is required, i draw in the
breath to the limit and hoi I it while
tno movement is on, from ten la
fifteen times.
"2. Put the heels upon the bed
with the knees drawn up, then throw
tho knees apart as far as they can
he carried, repeating twenty times.
"3. Throw first one foot and then
the other toward the headboard,
keeping the knee joints as straight
as you can.
"1. While still lying on the .back
kick omt with both feet as wide
apart as you can and do the kicking
with emphasis, so as to strain
the muscles on the calf and soles oi
the feet. Elevate both feet at once
toward the headboard and then the
spino as much as possible by using
tho abdominal muscles to pull ug
the lower extremities three times. II
the hands are placed under the small
part of the back and the arms are
used as a lever to help elevate the
legs and feet it is much more effective.
If in an iron bed this can be
faciliated by grasping the railing
above the head with the hands and
pulling up the legs and feet by the
use of the muscles of the back and
belly. This is very tine for reducing
-the paunch as it substitutes muscle
for fat and hardens the obdormen.
"(>. Fasten the feet under something
and pull tho trunk up to s
sitting posture, drop back and repeal
for four or five times. This is verj
straining at first and one ought tc
go about it cautiously until he muscles
have becomo accustomed to the
sirain.
"7. Throw tho head back with the
feet on tho bed and lift the bodj
clear so that the shoulders do noi
touch. This will form an arch. Re
peat four or live times. This is
enough in bed in the morning.
"8. Take a cold bath and rul
down briskly, unless you do not like
cold water or have not the facilities
to do it. Put on underwear and take
a light pair of dumbbells (3 1-S
pounds), to give momentum to the
movements. Begin to exercise the
other muscles which have not ye

"{). Throw tho arms down by thol
thighs backward wliile standingflat-'
footed. Straighten up and repeat
ton times. Continue in the same
motion, bend the trunk forward as
nearly horizontal as you can maintain
it and let the arms swing as
near the floor as they can go. This
limbers up the muscles of the hack.
"10. Now keeping the knees stilT.
try to punch the big toe of each .
foot with both fists. Repeat five or
six times.
"11. Using the dumbbells, pass
them to the right and left, one arm I
going by the belly whilo the other
is extended as high above the head
as possible, and as one goes down
elevate the other. This will lubricate
and loosen the joints of the
shoulders.
"12. Throw both arms behind the
back so as to bring both hands as
near as possible with the dumbbells
clinched hard. Try this ten times.
"12. Still holding the dumbbells,
throw one to the rear and the other
to the front and twist the spine by
first looking over one shoulder and
then over the other. This is to
loosen tho spinal column and make
the vertebrae twist on each other.
"14. Swing the dumbbells backward,
forward and downward until a
circle is performed by returning them
to the starting point. I do this five
times backward and then five times
forward with each arm alternately.
This lubricates the muscles of the
shoulders and arms, producing circulation
of the blood.
"I practise hese motions morning
and night, before dressing and after
undressing," the senator says. "It
takes about ten minutes, not including
the bath. I feel a very marked
difference in my strength as well
as otherwise."
South Carolina and the country, as
i well as Senator Tillman, are subjects
of congratulation eecause of the
Senator's restoration to health. At
the age of 03 he has reached the
acme of senatorial influence and usefullness
and neither South Carolina
or the country could spare him at
this eventful juncture when he is
so well prepared to give them the
benefit of the best and most experienced
service.
