Speaking of "frenzied finance"
Tom Lawson might tind some valuable
data m the Pee Dee section of
South Carolina, which if properly
handled would make interesting'
reading matter.
_________
Those who were expecting a revolution
in Russia caused by a uiutin
uud ucw uuviug jiuadCdMUU ui mc
battle-ship Kiiiaz Potenikin are
doubtless disappointed at the time j
issue of the enterprise.
At the meeting held here Monday
in opposition to the dispensary one
of the speakers stated that the dispensary
had been foisted upon the
State as a "step toward prohibition," j
and that after about thirteen years !
under the system it is time that we
were thinking of taking another
Step. There's something in that.
The Trail of the Serpent.
When the charge was made about
a month ago by the Southern Cotton
association that the crop statistics
given out by the United States department
of agriculture had been
tampered with, Secretary Wilson
treated the matter with contempt,
declaring that such a thing as a
"leak" in the infoifiiation collated
by the bureau of cotton statistics
was ridiculous.
It is now admitted by the depart- j
ment that the figures were given out
fraudulently for speculative purposes
before the report was officially pro
mulgated. Bat in comparison with
other scandals unearthed in this de- -?
partment the mere stealing of the
crop report figures pales into insignificance.
The employees of this
bureau are now charged with selling
the figures to cotton brokers and even
with juggling with the report
so as to make the cotton acreage and me
the amount of fertilizers ust d greater fro
than was warranted bv the reports a n
p
from correspondents over the cotton
belt. The June report was thus affected
in a "bearish"' way and the ^
participants and beneficiaries of this j wil
wholesale fraud enriched themselves an
at the expense of the honor and in- cm
tpjrritv of fht* T'nifpil St!ih?s crnvorn.
O V .
! kn<
ment.
To say what should be done with ! ,,
these thieving and infamous scouw- jjs]
drels would not beadifficult matter; agi
but will anything be done? After riv
tY\
all the row caused by the postoffice *
aeaodals huw manv of the gang of
? ? enl
grafters were punished beyond dismissal
from office? it looks as if a]l
those high in authority are afraid to pe<
punish the guilty logues for fear VK
that they themselves will be involved. ^
The beat that can be hoped for, we
fear, is the abolishing of the bureau trj
of cotton statistics, and the sooner foi
that is done the less chance these So
rascally officials will have to con- *?
tinue their nefarious employment of
robbing the cotton growers 'of the
South.
