WiH FAVORING BEAMS
Says Body Unlntentionally Favors
Bears In Cotton Market aur by So
Dolng Perpetrates Slavery in South.
Co'ttoit Futures Change.
Washington, May 13.-Senator Dial
charged in the senate today that con
gress unintentionally Is in favor of the
bears on the cotton market ad that a
condition of slavery is yet being per
Petrated in the south. "The war," lie
said, "freed the colored people, but
soon thereafter the whole south be
came enslaved iby the custom and then
the law of selling cotton, and it seems
that 1 am not making much progress
in getting these shackles removed."
The senator was urging the adoption of
his amendment to the cotton futures
act.
Senator Cial said his amiendlment had
been vending before an agricultural
sub-committee more thani twelve
monthus aid that lie was not asking for
sympathy but for justice. He Iuoted
figuires from ilie national agriculturalit
congress to show that after the cost
of raising a crop of cotton there is a
balance of $18'2A0t) representing laborl
for the entire year for the average ten
anlt, his wife and two chilId ren. Thiis
is 61 cenltsi per day for three hiindred
days or for 2,65 days it is ten cei;t
each for the tenant's family of four.
lie conitinuted, "we speak of the tvan
per laborer of Asia. We have a living
example of it right here and the con
gress of the tUnited States Is respon
-siblie to a great extent for this condi
tion of 'overty amtL illiteracy. While
wve are here trying to provide means of
lending niiney to tihe people of the
coutnry yet we are not getting -prccer
rettini for ilie produets of their ilabor.",
"I charge the con gress-an( I real
ize that that is pretty strong lan
guage, with being in favor of the bears
on the cotton1 market, unintentionally
of course, but the disnatrous iesuit to
the farmor is the same. The law sim
ply amounts to confiscation and I am
making every effort in my power to get
the agricultural committee of the sell
ate to report this amendment. If it
should be reported I believe there will
'be little objection on the floor of the
senate. If we can get it enacted into
law it wouldl help the condition of the
laboring people of my section of the
country more than an'thing else, or
iperhaps everything else"we could do in
their beh'alf. These figures are not
mine. They are from this report of our
own committee and I say they are
startling in(eed. It took exactly thirty
years for congress to pass the present
la w.
I trust it 'will not take quite so long
to pass my amendment. If the ,sub-comn
2nittve prefers g ot to rcport my amend
ment "favorably" I ask that it report
something or just send it back. I will
cndeavor to take care of it on the floor
and( believe, I can do so."

SSiawridenident of Fasley 'Poier Plant
anti Assisinnmt Meet Inistiant Death
In usupnjihg Station.
O(hvi~Q1lle, May 13.-Clifton D). Bolt,
su perintendlent of the Easley Water
andh Light plant, and his assistant, A.
Cal. Mc.\lhan, were killed by electri
ity in some mysterious wa this at
ternooni at tihe Easley pumpl station,
near~ Easley, these making the third
dienth from electricity in Easley to
day. The other death was that. of Mliss
Ollie Brown of Ghlenwood mill village,
who was instantly killed about 2
o'clCk( ,while standing in her r'oom in
her* residience when a bolt of lightning
lilt the transformier ouitsidec the house.
Messrs. IHolt and 3Me.\ahan hadl gone
to tihe city pumping stat ion, supplosedl
ly to fix something fliat had got wrong
wvithm the plant. About three-(tuarters
of an hour later a ipasserby saw the
bod(ies of the two men andl immedli
ately rep~ortedl it to citizenis of Easley,
who went out to the scene. The body
of 'Mi Bolt wvas lying on the groundl
just outside the door of the building
while the body of -Mr. Mahan was
inside thme building in a corner in a
s'itting ,posture iwith a crowv bar in his
hand.
AlcMahan's body showed bad burns,
but there was no mark of volence on
Bolt's body, although tihe indications
were that he had writhed on tihe
ground before dying. The pumlping
station is operate d 'by a 300 volt cur
rent, and the supposition is thatI
LMcMahan first came 4n contact with
electricity in sonie way and that Bolt,
coming to his rescue, was also elec
Itrocu ted.
A severe electrical storm passed
over this section during the afternoon
andl it is thlought that a 'bolt of light
1ning may have been conveyed to the
pump house while the men wer'e inl it
by one of the wires. An electrician;
w'ho arrived on the spot immediate;ly
after', wvarned the crowds to stay away
from the building, saying it 'was
"charged with electricity," and discon
tinued the station from the electrie
'lines. An Investigation is going for
ward.

MOTHER! MOVE
CHILD'S BOWELS WITH
CALIFORNIA f~G SYRUP
Hurry mother! Even a sick child
loves the "fruity" taste of "California
Fig Syrup" and it never fails to open
the bowes. A teaspoonful today may
prevent a sick child tomorrow. If con
stipated, bilious, feverish, fretful, has
cold, colic, or if stomach is smir, tongue
coated, breath bad, remember a good
cleansing of the little bowels is often
all that is necessary.
Ask your druggist for genuine "Call
fornia 'ig Syrup" which has directions
for babies and children of all ages
printed on bottle. Mother! You must
say "California" or you may get an Imi
