Senator Smith Calls It a "Signal Victory"
for the South?\\ ill i*iish
His Hill Towards the Achievement
of Complete llcfor in of Cotton
Classification in K\clinn<;?a.
"This is the most signal vlctorx
won by advocates of fair dealing for
the cotton farmers of the South yot
achieved," said Senator Smith of
South Carolina Wednesday when
shown the statement frotn New York
that the cotton exchange of that
metropolis had adopted resolutions
makinc the cnvprnniont ?t;nwini?a
typo of cotton tho basis for trailing
after April. 19 15. But Senator
Smith declared that the adoption of
this resolution will not in any wa>
affect him in rushing through congress
his bill which would force the
New York brokers to begin this new
method of dealing at a much eadier
date.
"Np to the present, New Yo\*k has
had 27 or more grades," said Mr
Smith. "All of these represent an
arbitrary and fictitious deference in
values, which, of course, was detrimental
to tho farmers. The adoption
of these grades as being the ; nl>
ones deliverable upon contract will
go far towards making the cju tations
from the Now York exchange in line
with the real value of spot cotton, i!
they strictly adhere t) the real values
of tho grades.
"This means that if the nine
grades are adopted, and thoso alone
are tenderablo upon contracts for the
future delivery of cotton, and the tlxod
difference between the grades Is
olitnina'od and tho r^al spinning
values of the grade ;s lound by the
department of agricjb urn under the
provisions of my a nendtneut to the
last agricultural appropriation bill,
that the farmers wi!'. ho guaranteed
a fair and just price for oott m.
"I feel that this is an achievement
brought about by the fact that the
New York exchange saw the inevitable
and bowed to It. I am
perfectly confident that ray bill
now pending will pass and 1
am glad that the Now York
exchange has made it easier for it to
pass in that they have at least recognized
one feature of tho bill, viz
That the government standardization
shall he recognized by tho exchanges
of this country. Now the otho
pronosition that tho exchanges shall
not have a fixed difference or a deceptive
commercial difference, but
shall have a difference based entirely
upon the real ascertained spinning
values of the different grades is cared
for also in the bill which 1 have
pending.
"I am certain thai the finding of
the department of agriculture as to
the spinning values of the govern
incut standard grades has been largely
if not entirely responsible for the
action of the New York exchange, because,
in the light of the startling
faels which that test proves as to the
small difference in the va'ues of the
different grades, no exchange could
hope to exist which had the absurd
difotence now obtaining.
"The Now York exchange makes
this new grade delivery effective
Ap'il ! i a i This shall not deter
me frorn forcing with all of the vivor
at ?nv command the passage of nn
1>iM at the earliest possible moment
ard the pnttng of it into effect immediately
upon Its passage. I want
to save *o the farmers the balance of
this crop at n hotter price, and guarantee
to them, if it he possible, a hot
t.er pr'ce for the crop soon to he
plan f od
"There is no reason why the Now
York cotton exchange should recommend
the adoption of the nine government
standards a year hence: unless
it he that tliev have already com.miffed
themselves to the delivery of
such a quantity of cotton a' such
prices that they may never hope to
escape without a tremendous loss unless
they keep in vogue the present
old robbery system to enable them to
os ape. I shall call up my hill at the
earliest possible moment, now that it
Is ti'-on tho calendar, and press it tr

of Sol W illiams, an 1 S-yoar-old ue'
gro who was shot through tho head
end killed Tuesday night at an overhead
bridge near King's Mountain,
X. C.
These four young men, together
with Dock Fulton, formed an automobile
party which came from 1
1 Plaokshurg to attend a carnival. !
Williams when shot was on the east *
side of tho roa i over which is the
I bridge, while tho carnival Is exhibit- !
' ng on tho west side. Two shots
were heard, but Williams could uot 1
j bo seen or tho persons firing, owing j
j to darkness which was intensified by ;1
i tho iifrht behind tiie largo crowd as-j
sombh?d at the carnival.
The chlef of poliie and tlio mayor,
hoard the shooting and came to the ;
carnival grounds. They found tho
negro Williams lying on the ground
dead. A bullet had entered the bark)
of the negro's neck, severing a jugu-j
lar vein and large artery, causing)
i do it h hv bleed I Tier On the same side
of the road were four men gathered
about an automobile, preparing to
crank it. up for leaving. Thinking it |
possible that there was some connec- j
lion between their proximity to the
negro and his death, the officers stoppod
the party and searched them.
No pistol was found on the men,
but a quantity of boor and whiskey
was found in the machine, while in
the rear of the car was a 32-caliber
i Smith <?- Wesson revolver, covered by
i a laprobe. Two chambers were
empty, the other three having loaded
j cartridges. According to tire officers
the empty shells had been fired within
a few minutes of the time the pistol
was examined.
A coroner's jury composed of some
of the most prominent men of town
j was empaneled and a post-mortem j
examination revealed the fact that'
the bullet which had passed through !
the neck and lodged back of the ne-,
J gro's eye was of 32-calibre. Chief
of Police Lindsay in the meantime
had gone to Blacksburg and was told
on Inquiry that Deck Fulton bad bor-1
; rowed a 3 2-callber Smith & Wesson'
' pistol which appears to have boon a
duplicate of the one found in the car.
Fulton before the jury swore that
he gave the pistol to Zeb Bell, another
of the party, before reaching
King's Mountain and that ho saw it,
no more. Fulton's brother was with
him at some distance from the automobile
when the shooting occurred.
He was not with the crowd when the
car was searched.

It Willing to Listen to Ivcprosentnlions,
Hut Points Out Tliut Those
Should Como I-* mm ConstiN of
States Whose People Aro Involved
?Will Hood Tltoso of A morion.
Gen. Carranza lias consented to
iiave American consuls look after interests
of foreigners In constitutionalist
territory whore their own governments
h ive no consular representatives.
Whore there are such representatives
he suggests that, oven
whore their governments have recognized
llurta, these consuls can unofficially
communicate with him wiih
out involving their governments.
Also he suggests his willingness to
listen and heed any applications
matlo to him directly by the friends
and relatives of foreigners whoso
lives or property may ho threatened
and investigate every case and to j
punish any of Itis followers who ma\
be culpable.
This is the substance of a telegraphic
report made to Secretary j
Bryan Saturday by American Consul !
Slmplch. The declaration of Gen
Carranza was transmitted promptly
to the various powers Saturday by
diplomatic representatives in Washington.
Embassy and legation officials commented
on tha Carranza note only in
general terms. One fact is accepted,
however, that the Cnited States -an
not continue to act for them in defiance
of Carranza's refusal to listen
to representations on the old basis.
They feel that there is no warrant of
law for allowing United States consuls
to accept credentials also from
foreign governments, as seems to he
required by Carranza ? even if the
various governments were willing to
bestow such powers.
The text of Geu. Carranza's reply
to Consul Stinpich was as follows:
"As you know, the department at
Washington has communicated with
me through yourself and the Amori-1
can consul at Hermoslllo to make two
classes of representations to me, both
unofficial, the one concerning American
citizens, the other non-American
foreigners.
"As you are aware. I have entertained
the representations Secretary
Bryan thought fit to make when nationals
of his country were concerned,
the said representations, however,
being used by me as information to
redress and avoid the wrongs to
which they relate. In his letter to
you about tho injuries suffered at tho
Dosengano mine at Guanacevi, Secrotary
Bryan tells you that countries
which liavo recognized tho Iluerta
government can not apply to mo.
since every nation can have but one
diplomatic corps accredited to oue
other and consequently those countries
which have recognized Huorta
can not make representations to me.
"This is clearly my understanding
and I have never claimed that those
governments accredit diplomatic rep
resentatlves to me. But these same
nations may vory well, under International
law and diplomatic usage, have
unofficial intercourse with me In my
capacity of commander-in-chief
the constitutionalist army which
dominates a large part of the nation
"This unofficial manner may bo
availed of by the aforesaid countries
through their representatives accredited
In Washington or through their
consuls residing in the Mexican territory
controlled by tho forces undo"
my command, an (J if there should bo
no foreign consuls In the territory
controlled by the constitutionalist
forces, pointed out by Secretary
Bryan in connection with the Desen
gano mine case, then the government
concerned may very well authorize
other persons who may well be the
consuls of the United States to present
their unofficial representations
in the name of those governments,
the power being properly drawn up
"As I truly do not see what objection
foreign nations can have to that
method of communicating with me,
all the representations I have received
or may receive hereafter dealing
with non-American foreigners do and
will serve the pole purpose of bring
ing to mr notice, If not already reported
by the Mexican authorities
the fart that this or that foreigner
has suffered some injury and of my
issuing appropriate orders that all individual
guarantees be extended to
foreigners, punishment, when occasion
arises, being inflicted on the re
sponsibile parties who, in violation of
the law and dsregard of their duty
and mv orders, should ever so slightly
molest foreigners, nor would there
he any need of waiting for any rep
reservations, for It is one of my purposes
that i"sMce and the law shall
he respected to the utmost in mv
count ry.
"Deeming this a suitable opportu
nlty, I wish to say further to you tha*
if the foreigners or their relative>
will address their persona! rcpreson

at. No Nvpous".
Kvery farmer la South Carolina ,
who plants corn should begin solectlig
his seed for planting at one*, is
the advlco of Prof. W. I.. Hutchinson,
of Clonisnn college. Prof. Hutchinson
urges every farmer to make t germination
teat of his sec I. which tm
morons exporlmou s hare proved beyond
a doubt will result In a large
increase in yield. An ear-to-row test !
with seed that has boon tested for
gertuiniting powers will be sure to
pay a farmer handsomely in future
crops, but even if ho makes only the
rortnin ?i n t< :.t this year, lie is like- I
:y to have nis yi M l inoroasi.nl from 1 *
flvo to t<?n bushels an n re. at b ast.
Tho toot Is bo simple ami requires 90 1
'i'tlo time in proportion to results *
that there is no farmer in the State '
who can not make it.
The average farmer in this State
selects Ills planting ears by sight 1
ilo: <?, 1 ich'ng out the ears will h ap- '
pear sound. I'nloss lie is an expert
nd has had training in corn judging, '
this method is not of great value to 1
him. What bo should do is to select 1
hfs boat looking ears and then put
these through a germination tost.
A ft or selecting tho best looking
oars, arrange them aide by Bide on
planks, driving a tonpeuny nail after
each tenth ear. The ears should then
bo numbered consecutively, which can
bo done by marking the number of '
each ear on the plan with lead pencil. 1
They should then bo le't until after t
tho germination test is completed,
xcept when they are taken out one
I
by one for the purpose of getting kernels
from them.
One of the simplest and best moth-1
ods of testing is the use of a sawdust
box. Fse a box about two feet 1
square and four inches deep. Fill
the box to within an inch and a half
of the top with sawdust, well packed.
Select a piece of white cloth a little 1
larger than the box and mark this to '
tell the number of any of them with,
, ... . ... 1
r,u irouoio. ny leaving outside rows
rac&nt all around the box, there will
be about one hundred squares. Tack '
the cloth Inside the box so that it '
resfs firmly and smoothly over the '
sawd ust.
With the box near at hand, take the
ears from the plank one by one. Select
from each ear six kernels, taking '
them from different parts of the ear
and no two from the same row. Place
the six kernels from near No. 1 In
square No. 1 on the cloth, and so on
with all the ears. Kernels should bo
laid with the germ side up. Put each
I oar back In its place on the plank.
When each square in the box, except
those In the outside rows, contains
its six kernels, sprinkle water
I into the box until the corn and sawdust
are thoroughly moistened, taking
care not to disturb the kernels.
Then place a dry white cloth carefully
over iho kernels and another cloth on
top of this ono. Finally, covor the
top cloth with sawdust until tho box
is level full.
Keep the box In a fairly warm
room, leaving It undisturbed for
seven days. Then catch the ends of
'lie top cloth and ralso the cloth carefully
from the box. This will take
off tho top layer of sawdust without
listurbing the corn, ltaiso the second
cloth, still using groat care, and
it Is then possible to read tho tests.
See which kernels have germinated
well and which have germinated
i Doorly. Tf square No. 16 shows poor
| germination, go to your plank and 1
'nke out oar No. 16. throwing it into 1
'ho food pile. I>o thin with each oar 1
.vhoao kernels show poor germinating
powers. The oars loft on your plank j
will then ho good ones end you are '
ready for your planting. If you do ''
not soouro a good crop you can feel
certain that it was not the fault of '
the seed. j1
I'se one box for every one hundred '
ears. It desired, however, a larger '
box may he used. But that described '
above Is the most convenient si/e to
handle and should satisfy the needs '
of the average farmer.
The time to make this test is really j
In wintbr, when the ears which turn
out well are stored for planting in ^
spring. However, if it was not done ,
In winter, there is still ample time to (
make the test now and the farmer
who makes it has the unanimous
opinion of all the exports that it will
bring hiin rich profits.

evise the opinion expressed by him
telf In the 1912 campaign that the
exemption of our own coast wise chipping
from tolls was proper.
'Flip Senate seems determined to
lo nothing about the repeal until

rriginal idea of the administration
rvas to have the Senate act first, as

rherefore, only about 90 of the present
representatives w ill have to faco i
[ho problem of reversing themselves

Two of the former members who
escaped the ordeal are in the president's
cabinet They are Secretary
">f Commerce Redfteld, who was carefully
paired for exemption of our j
coastwise ships from tolls, and Se^re
tary of Labor Wilson, who voted for
exemption. It i* true, moreover, that
the majority of the Democrats participating
in the roll call of May 22.
1912. voted against exemption. The
almost solid Republican vote for exemption
turned the scale in its favor.
Speaker Clark did not vote at all.
One of the Democratic members o?
the present House who have declared
their positive decision to vote and
apak against the repeal of the exemption
cluuhs of the (anal act is itepre
3entatlv0 Rairsdale of the Sixth South
Carolina district, who holds that the
platform plank is sufficient justification
for his stand and argues that
President Wilson had no right as the
leader of his party to advocate reversal.
In the last congress Mr. Ragsdale's
district was represented bv Mr.
J E. Ellerbe, who voted in favor of
tolls and against the Doremua ainond111
out.
On the vote In 1912, which was
takeA before the Democratic national
convention met, the South Carolina
delegation as a whole was decidedly
iu'ulnat exemption. Besides Mr. Ellerbe,
Messrs Finley and Byrnes
were present and voted for tolls. Mr j
I,ever was paired, with a statement
that he was for tolls and that his
pair partner was against tolls.
Messrs Aiken and Johnson were paired
with Republicans who would presumably
have voted against tolls The
lat" Mr. I.egare, who was 111, was the
only member of the delegation absent
an 1 unpaired when the roll call came,

There was no vote in the South
Carolina delegation in favor of the
exemption clause when it wnr adopted;
but tiie outlook is that there will
he one or two votes in the delegation
against exemption's repeal. A shift
