SOLICITOR COOPER
TELLS PLATFORM
Discusses On Matters of Public
Concern and States Position
On Them
Lauvons, May -28.-.Special.
Solicitor F. A. Cooper, cn? ot tho
candidate!} for governor in the d?mo
cratie primary thlr. Bummer wus asked
today if he ?.rared to make nny publie
?talement ?it lhlc time with reference
to lils eundiducy. He said:
"The people of the state seem to ex
pect that each candidate Hhall give out
his .plat ?omi. I wish to say in the
outset that I sincerely trust that thc
campal rm on which we are about to
enter may be free from factionalism
?cd pui tiran Strife, and that each can
didate muy be measured by the stand
ard of hit fitness for public service.
There ure too many questions of viGtl
i in pu-"tai; . <. to the people of this state,
which r.bould be discussed in the cam
pelgu for us to devote our time to a
vrauglc over factional differences.
I Tm dimply stating a sel* ?vMont
proposition when I say. that the mo>>t
tm portant question before our people
today ls the education..of the white
children of the stated-providing the
opportunity for every white child in
tli?* state to secure the rudiments of
an education, fitting bim or her for the
duliea of .life. We should continue to
raise the standard of - nur common
'.ch?olf until they each provide an ed
ucation equal tb that now afforded by
our best graded and. high schools. It
ls a sad commentary ob our aiate,' but
It ls. novcrlhclesr, true, so I am in
formed that wo could not nryjmmo
dtttd in our schools the white children
of the state. I beltcvethe state should
at once provide ample facilities;, for
the education of the chi ld rca, ?md then
we will bc in a position td-enact and
enforce., a f.onrpulsory school attehd
ence law. It would be useless to ?t^
tempt to compel the attendance of all
children of school age when we are
wi.bout' facilillos to accommodate
thom. Compulsory-education la well
in ita why but fi-et let the state ?give
t he people the opportunity and provide
thc facilities sad then the compulsion
part of it. A majority cit the children
of this state only receive such educa
tion aa our common schools afford and
they rhould he the very best in our
power td give them.
Ai'cnt ion i bauld be given to our
present system of assessing property
for taxation. ' It ls impossible to go
fully into thia question in a short
statement cf this' kind, but I believe
that some plan can and ought to be
devised by which we can approximate
ly secure eqnalltyin our assessments'.
It ls conceded on every hand that
there is no more . important matter
than the improvement of our public ,
highways. The farmer's transports: j
lion tax ls ono of bia chief difficulties. I
Tho building of good roads will not
only enhance tho value of farm prop
erty, and add to the comforts and con
veniences of farm life, hut will In
crease thc prosperity of the nation
along all lines: In this connection,
think that-Clemson College, whi?h is
or ought to bc the source of our agri
cultural training, should establish and
opt rate demonstration farm schools in
every county in the state. In this
way, the average farmer could im
prove hie method of farming and also
tako advantage of the many economies
in thc preparation of soil, use of fer
tilizers, eto. Cletnaod is doing a great
work but its benefits can be further
extended along the lines ? have sug
gested. I hope that the national gov
ernment will, with as litle delay as
possible, enact a rural credit law so
that, our farmers, many of whom do
not now own their farms, may become
" homo owners. .These; and many oth
er matters which look to- our material
prosperity, ought to and will be con
sidered,
The chief function of the governor
- ot the State is to look after the en
forcement of fiM law. If elected
governor, it ?hall be my controlling
purpose, without fear or favor, to ?ee
that the laws are duly enforced, not in
some sections ot the state, but from
thc mountains to the sea; not in a
spirit of harshness and vindictiveness,
?ut in mercy* Thia being the chief
uty df the governor, it should bo the
paramount issue in the campaign for
thc Selootioh ot a governor."
Mr. Cooper , today flied his ple?.?e
with the state chairman and sent his
au3er.srnent to the treasurer of the
state committee. Unless he is de
layed by reason Of - holding court
which begins here on the 16th. he ex
pects to be in the first campaign meet

New York Cotton
New York. May M.-There hu
been sh excited advance iu ?he cotton
marke,* during the past webk, with all
positions making new high ground
and most of them new high records
for tbe season, on covering of shorts
and a broadening speculative demand.
May contracts sold os high as 144,
before final maturity, or i?6 per bale
above the recent low record; while
December advanced to 12.88.
The upward movement'hos undoubt
edly r?nected 'a t-eare over the" hew
crop outlook, owing to the'continued
wet weather lb the southwest. While
there li? ve also been lu any complaints
of droughty-conditions.'ur low night
temperatures east of the river, and ap
prehension of ?' Short yield would
seem to have developed coincidentally
with increasing confidence' in contin
ued large world's requirements.
Reallying was' heavy above the li"
l-2c level and beChrbe active enough
to cause r?actions of some 20 to 2?
points from tin best toward the end
of the week, when part of'the 'heavy
selling waB probably "in ' th? why of
nal i zing for over the holiday tomor?
row and the goveVnment report^whlch
is expected at noon Monday. v
Private condition reports have
shown a considerable divergence of
opinion, but all ul them have been
under last year's and thc official ten
year average of 8.4 per cent, while ad
vices from the couthwest have Indi
cated unfavorable conditions ' since
the data, for the government report
were sent to Washington lost Mon
day, and complaints from-the eastern
belt have recently been too' numerous.
The talk id-some-quarren*;'-howev
er, indicated expectations ot a rapid,
movement in thc eastern belt crop
prospects, should the 'weather im
prove in the near future, 'und I here
has probably- boen some selling-on
that theory as weil as on the idea
that the advance bad checked trade
demand and'had .been sufficient to dis
count a low June bureau. .
Thc cotton market was uneettled
today as the'result of be??"? realising
which was undoubtedly promoted by
?thc tendency to take profits for over
the holiday and the government crop
report tin Monday.
Weather .'.conditions showed np im
proyement, and offerings were absorb

or fretrh buying, with the market
steady at a net loss or 7 to 18 points.

the showing of the eatiymonths wea

southwest over Sunday, private crop
reports Issued before the opening
made rather a more favorable chow

The market opened at" a" decline of
