DAMNATION FROM DEAS?
State Republican Leader Discusses Roose?
velt's Administration-He Declares it
the Dirtiest and Rottenest that Ever
Was.
CHABUBSTON, S. C., June 29.-E.
H. Deas, toe leading negro republi?
can of South Carolina, bas prepared
for publication a vicious attack upon
President Roosevelt's administra?
tion of party affairs in this State.
Just after the Ohio convention was
held Deas, by request, arraigned the
national republican administration
in The New York World. He said,
among other things, tha t it was the
dirtiest and rottenest administration
that has ever disgraced this section,
and the statement that he has jast
given oat tor publication is put forth
with a view of substantiating this
charge.
In it Deas attacks with .great bit?
terness United States District Attor?
ney John G. Capers and Collector of
internal Revenue Micah Jenkins.
?j' Both of these men were formerly
democrats and were appointed to
office as.republicans. Capers bolted
Bryan and stumped for McKinley,
while Jenkins was a major under
Roosevelt in the Rough Riders.
Capers is a son of Bishop Ellison
Capers, of South Carolina, and Jen?
kins is a son of the Confederate gen?
eral of the same name. Deas charges
that Capers was present at the lynch?
ing of Thompson and Preston, at
Gaston, J eily SO, 1893, and that he
' was indicted.for pension fraud in the
same year, but the matter was drop?
ped for some reason never explained ;
that he was not a resident of the
State when appointed United. States
district attorney jof South Carolina;
that h? swore he voted for McKin?
ley and yet the records of the town
of Maryland, in which he resided,
fail to show any such record.
Of Jenkins, Deas says he is such a
personal favorite of Presideut Roose?
velt tbat-ifc is impossible to' get an
investigation of ch urges against him
and his department. When such
charges-have~beec~ preferred. Deas
says, they are referred to Jenkins
himself, tie reports favorably to him?
self and the'matter is dropped.
The statement made by Deas is a
long one and is replete with the
most violent language, denunciatory
ef Roosevelt, Capers, Jenkins and
the republican administration of
affairs in South Carolina. Deas was
formerly national republican com?
mitteeman from the State, and is
now chairman of the "black-and
tan" organization. He was a candi?
date for coilector of internal revenue,
and is popularly styled by his ad?
herents as'"Deas, the Duke of Dar?
lington."
CRUM ADVOCATES LYNCHING.
The Colored Collector of Charleston
Creates Sensation in Chicago.
A special dispatch from Chicago
to the Atlanta Constitution says:
"Collector W. D. Cram, of Char
lesion, S. C., has shocked his fellow
negroes by advocating lynching. At
a meeting to-night he said:
"Lynchings savor of the barbarism
of the dark ages, but we must think
of the crimes that provoke them.
These crimes are so atrocious that
510 punishment is too severe for
them.
"Lynching is not a race problem,V
?aid Dr. Crum. "There is no north
or south, but the form of unlawful
punishment is generally all over the
.country. The most horrible lynch?
ing which ever took place in this
.countreoccurred in Delaware only
?afew days ago. Such punishments
savor bf the barbarisms of the dark
ages, but we must consider the
crimes that provoke them. They
are so atrocious that no punishment
is too severe.
"Too many persons denounce
lynchings withou ; considering their
cause. lithe law was quick and
decisive there would be fewer lynch?
ings.
**Tbe remedy is to exterminate
the horrible wretches who commit
the climes-not by killing them, but
by teaching them better."

.In the course of his speech in be?
half of murderer Jim Tillman, ask?
ing for a change of venue, a lawyer
named Buchanan, said to be a judge,
is credited with this language: "The
press is a cowardly institution, and
there is not a man in the court room
who does not pay deference to any
little $8 a week scribbler." If the
circumstances warranted the asser?
tion this man has indeed paid a high
tribute to a poorly paid profession,
or pat a low estimate on the charac?
ter of those who were in the court
ho?se, including himself. If he was
wrong he has established a reputa?
tion for veracity second only to the
distinguished criminal he represents.
In either case it is a deplorable state
of affairs. But the truth is that
Buchanan deviated from the horizon?
tal bar of rectitude in order to prej?
udice his hearers and the court. He
did the scuttle-fish act-muddled the
water in order to keep others from
seeing what a bad case he had. But
it will not work. As sure as a just
God reigns supreme, so sure will
Jim Tillman be made to pay the
penalty of his crime, unless he buys
the jury, and we do not believe
enough Lexingtonians can be pur?
chased to acquit him.-Gaffney

THE COTTON CROP OF 1903.
New Orleans Brown, the Leader of
the Bal! Movement.
_
6ITES HIS VIEW Of THE SITUATION
Says Price Has Not been Driven
Up by Artificia! Means-In?
crease of Manufacturing.
Baltimore, July 2.-The Manufac
j fairers5 Record published this week a
j dispatch from its correspondent at
New Orleans containing an interview
j with W. P Brown, the leader of the
great bnll movement in cotton, in
which Mr. Brown talks as follows,
about cotton prospects :
This is not a matter of [speculation.
We*are merchants of cotton and have
been for a good many years. I have
been a bull on cotton ever since it was
selling at ?yz cents. Cotton has sim?
ply gone up in common with other
values. Whe~ cotton sold at 4*^ cents
other things were low. Iron has gone
from $8 a ton to as much as $26 in
this period and iron is not subject to
drought or to boll weoviL All you
have to do is to dig the ore from the
ground and turn it into pig iron.
Cotton is selling at its present price
because it is statistically worth it.
Last fall ? predicted that this crop
would be about 10,750,000 bales, and it
is being demonstrated that my predic?
tion was about right. The require?
ments of trade are very much more
than that. Conditions entirely war?
rant present prices, for cotton has
never failed to sell around present
prices with the statistical condition
anything like as strong as the present
one. There is not only a famine in
cotton, but there isa famine in dry
goods now. If the mills shut down,
of course that will add very much to
the present scarcity of dry goods sup?
plies. Although manufacturers and
jobbers of, dry goads - complain that
they can't sell goods on the present
basis of raw material, this will even?
tually regulate itself. Consumers
must pay the prices or go without the
goods, and we know they won't do
that. Trade all over the world was
scarcely ever better and the consum?
ing world is in condition to pay high
prices. It is a mistaken idea that
cotton has been forced to present
prices. A legitimate demand and the
strong statistical position have put
prices where they are. If this were
not the case I wouldn't be bulling cot?
ton at present prices ; in other words,
if prices had been forced up, and the
actual stuff could not be sold at pre?
sent I would say that cotton was
dangerously high.
"As to the new crop, it is exceeding?
ly late. This adds very much to an
already strong situation, as we cannot
expect much new cotton now until late
in September. As to the size of the
new crop, it is entirely too early to
say much, though we know a late crop
is subject to a great many more neces?
sities than any early one. For inst?
ance, there are three things that could
make this crop a failure, a great deal
of rain during the next few weeks; or
a severe drought during July
and August; or an early frost. On
the other hand, if none of these things
happen and we have perfect conditions -
ali the way through and a very late
fall, we might make an average crop.
But it is easily to be seen that the
odds are against this year's crop turn?
ing out an average one and the world
needs a big crop, a very big crop.
Eleven and a half million to twelve
million bales would not be any too
much. In fact, with a crop of not
over 11,500,000 bales, I think prices
will range high all during next sea?
son. The whole truth of the matter is,
consumption has overtaken production
and there is not much of either raw
material or manufactured goods on
hand."
In spite of the temporary effects of
high priced cotton southern capital
and capital from other parts of the
country are finding steady investmet
in southern textile enterprises, the ad?
ditions to established mills as for some
time passed exceeding the investments
in new mills. Reviewing the second
quarter of the year, The Manufactur?
ers Record says that while there were
no especially large individual enter?
prises announced, several $500,000
companies were organized with all the
required capital secured. During the
three months 18 new mill companies
were organized with "a total of 119,500
spindles and 2,840.1ooms to be install?
ed, indicating an expenditure of about
$2,390,000, and 19 established mills
announced their intention to add 172
554 spindles and 2,359 looms, indicat?
ing an expenditure of about $3,450,000
The total of additions is 292,054 spin?
dles and 5,199 looms, requiring an ex?
penditure of about $5,840,000. Of the
additions Georgia is to- have 95,112
spindles, South Carolina 95,000, North
Carolina 78,942, Alabama 18,000 and
Virginia 5,000.
During the first half of the year
there was a notable activity in organ?
izing companies for the erection of oil
mills. According to The Manufactur?
ers' Record the new capital invested
in this industry during the past six
months is greater than the whole capital
represented in cotton oil mills in 18S0
In that year the south had 40 oil mills
with a capital of $3,500,000. During
the past six months 94 new companies
were organiged to build mills at an es?
timated cost of $3,675,000. In this
movement the greatest activity was in
Arkansas wnere 17 new companies
were formed with a totai capitaliza?
tion^ $1,170,000. Mississppi was se?
cond with 15 companies capitalized
at $665,000, South Carolina, Tennes?
see, Georgia,- Louisana, Texas, Ala?
bama, North Carolina, Indian Terri?
tory and Oklahoma following in the
order named as to the amount of cap?
ital invested.
It is a pity for some of the parties
interested that Mr. Ossy Buchanan
could not be judge instead of attor?
ney in the case of the State vs. J. H.
Tillman. The supreme court once
said of one of Ossy's rulings, "How
the court beiow could so find with?
out one particle of evidence to sus?
tain that finding is beyond our com?
prehension." With a recommenda?
tion like this, Ossy would suit the
occasion splendidly. In his own im?
mortal words, slightly paraphrased,
"By grab?;, I'd make the most of it."

MAGNOLIA NEWS BUDGET.
Crop Prospects and Other Matters Noted
by Our Correspondent.
Magnolia, July 2.-The outlook for
an average corn crop, in this section,
is by no means encouraging, though
there is some improvement in this
crop. On some farms I notice a rapid
improvement in the cotton crop, while
on others where the land is sandy or
rolling, there is very little to en?
courage the belief that more than
a half of an average crop will be
made.
With the harvesting of the oat crop,
which was much better than -anyone
had any idea it would be, the wet
spell opened up, which greatly dam?
aged the oats before they could be
housed. A very small per cent, of
this crop was saved in a first class
condition.
We have had nearly three weeks of
fine weather for farm work, and the
farmers are making good use of it.
Willing laborers are growing scarce,
and, as a general thing, contrary.
Another year it may be quite differ?
ent. This little lien business is, in
fact, responsible for it.
A warrant was issned by the magis?
trate here, ten days ago, for the ap?
prehension of one Singleton, colored,
for attempting to and nearly taking
the life of one Simon Davis, colored,
by striking him a heavy blow with a
handstick. Singleton is hiding out.
- Very little business will be done
here on the 4th instant, and that day
will be more generally observed as a
holiday. Nearly all the stores will be
closed in this place. I hear of no
special amusements in this neighbor?
hood.
How few, comparatively speaking,
will know or care for the event which
we are celebrating on that day. Ask
numbers why they celebrate that day,
and they will answer readily, "'Cause
it's the 4th of July," and this is all
th&y know.
Mr. Henry Hickson, after several
days' visit to his father, Mr. J. A.
Hickson, has returned to Lake City.
Hon. Thos. G. McLeod, now of
Bishopville, spent- several days here
recently, returning to his home yes?
terday.
The W. J. McLeod Co. is repainting
their store in this place, which will
much improve its looks. This firm is
also building a large warehouse in
rear of their store.
Drs. Darby and Tennant report all
their patients as doing well.
The pupils of our Graded School
after several months' close application
seem to be enjoying vacation.
Messrs. Gordon Griffin, Jno. T.
McIntosh, Jr. and Ernest McIntosh
will go to the mountains the middle of
this month.
?? Our railroad agent, Mr. House, and
wife will leave for North Caralina on a
four weeks' stay in a day or two. We
wish them a pleasant trip and a safe
return.
CoL J. A. Rhame will spend the
Fourth in Columbia, he states.
The tobacco warehouses in Tim
monsville will not be opened until the
1st of August, which is disappointing
and inconveniencing to those of our
tobacco growers who need the money
to aid them through. The trick seems
very apparent.
Several of our farmers around here
are smiling (?) over their dwarf or
"bantom" cotton, but are afraid they
will loose the seed, as the plant is ex?
ceedingly delicate and of a yellowish
or reddish tinge-really very pretty.
The bumblebees had better call a
convention in time to make other ar?

THE PAY OF SOLDIERS.
How the Militia Will be Paid During En?
campment-Privates to Receive 43
Cents a Day, and Brigadier Gen- *
eral's $15.28-Pay for Five
Days.
The militia of the State is greatly
interested in the pay they will re?
ceive during the encampment of
July and August. As has been
stated, the officers and men will be
paid for five days, and in addition
be provided with food and shelter,
or receive a ration allowance, dur?
ing that time, and mileage. The fol?
lowing is the scale of pay for each
day:
Brigadier general.$15.28

The chief musician in drum corps
receives $2 per day and the other
members according to their rank,
which is the same as in the infantry
and cavalry.
A Fool Of Himself.;
When we consider that Judge
Buchanan was for a long time a prac?
ticing attorney, that he was once a
presiding judge and that heran for
various offices in South Carolina,
during the campaign meetings and
talking with a good many intelligent
men, it is hard to conceive of how he
can, in common parlance, make
such a fool of himself as he did be?
fore th? court in Columbia the other
day. Of course, he is worried, and
this in part excuses him, but still,
to employ our figure of speech again,
he did make such an awful fool of
himself.-Spartanburg Herald.
The fact begins to appear that
Tillman is in a close place and has
ceased his confident assertions of ac?
quittal and abandoned his defiant
attitude. The people of South Caro?
lina, diverted from-all political as?
pects of the case, are now calmly
considering the act of the accused
man as they would if he were an or?
dinary murderer, and the result, j
there now appears to be reason toi
hope, will be that justice will be \
done and the laws of the State vin?
dicated. It matters little what the
decisiou of the court may be on the
question of a chatige of venue, pro?
vided the case be not removed to a
locality of tlie murderer's own selec- ?
tion. We believe the temper of the j
people of the state is now unquali- j
fiedly for equal and exact justice, I
even though the accused be a Till- !
man.-Chattanooga Times.
A FORGOTTEN POET.
For The Item.
In searching for information in re?
gard to a little matter of history, I
came across the enclosed lines, which
impressed me as being so beautiful
that 1 showed them to a few friends,
one of whom asked me to have them
published by our local press.
The authorship of these lines is at?
tributed to Charles Clinton ; born in
Ireland 1690, emigrated to America
1729; settled first in Massachusetts
and afterwards moved to New York,
in which State lie died in 1773 in the
83d year of his age-when Robert
Burns was yet a boy, and probably
before"Mary in Heaven'.' was ever
dreamed of.
I do not find Charles Clinton's name
even mentioned in any history of
American literature to which I have
had access ; but the biographer of De
Witt Clinton, in his sketch of the
Clinton Family, tells that "He some?
times also courted the muses," and
gives us the following quotation from
De Witt's " Common-place-Book. "
(See Campbell's Life of D. W. C., p.
xiii) :
LINES.
"Written by my Grandfather
Charles Clinton, and spoken over the
grave of a dear departed sister, who
had often nursed and taken care of
him in his younger days. ' '
Oh canst* ' thou know, thou dear de?
parted shade.
The mighty sorrows that my soul in?
vade ;
Whilst o'er thy mouldering frame I
mourning stand,
And view thy grave far from^thy na?
tive land?
With thee my tender years were early
trained,
Oft have thy friendly arms my weight
sustained ;
And when with childish fears or pains
oppressed,
You with soft music lull'd my soul to
rest."
It seems to me that the author of
such lines deserves a place in the his?
tory of literature and that his other
works should be rescued from obliv?
ion and given to the public, if it is
not already too late.

KATHRYN OSTERMAN.
Will Star Next Session in "Miss Petti?
coats."
Kathryn Osterman's new play "Miss
Petticoats' ' is a story of rare fascina?
tion, with rather more than the aver?
age of enlivening incident. It is the
history of a mill girl who becomes a
Countess. The first three acts, occur
in New Bedford, Mass, a city of mills,
and the last two in New York, the
city of millions. As a first step lead?
ing to her development Agatha Renier
-she is the girl of the title-stops a
pair of runaway horses at the risk of
her life. The team has been purposely
frightened by Agatha's mill mates,
angry at a reduction in wages. Be?
hind the horses rides the woman who
is a part owner of the factory. This
is Mrs. Copeland, and she practically
adopts, under the pretense of employ?
ing her as secretary, the girl who has
saved her life and also caught her
heart's fancy.
Manager Ryttenberg has booked
Miss Osterman at the Academy of
Music for the coming season. She
will appear with her strong supporting
company in only a few cities in this
State, and Sumter theatre goers will be
privileged to enjoy one of the theatrical
treats of the season.
YOU'VE BEEN THERE !
By F. P. B-.
'Twas "Central" who on your busy
day,
Called, "Number, please," to earn
her pay.
On the board, in numbers small,
The figures fall at anyone's call.
An editor to his 'phone did rush,
Among his staff there was a hush.
Said he, "Will yon ring up once more,
For four-eleven-forty-four?"
"What number did you want, please?"
Replied "Central," as calmly as sum?
mer seas.
Said he, "I told you twice before
It's four-eleven-forty-four!"
Said " Central, " and you could hear
her smile,
"Hold your 'phone, please, a little
while."
Five, seven, ten minutes passed along,
And the editor, he said, "D-og-gone. "
Again the bell he wildly rung,
And back again from the sugared
tongue :
" What number are you waiting for?"
The editor responded with a roar :
"I want four-eleven-forty-four.'\
(If 1 only had you here now!")
Calmly "Central's" voice replied:
"They're busy now." ,
The editor wildly rolled his eye.
And the Devil from the room did fly,
But he only sadly shook his head,
And this is what he weakly said :
"Of all the words of tongue or pen,
The d-dest are, 'Busy, call again.' "
Crop Situation Around Goodwill.
Goodwill, July 1-The first, second
and fourth weeks of June were unus?
ually wet and farmers have had to put
up a stiff fight to keep grass from
overrunning crops. Bad as it has been
however, it is not quite as bad as it
was two weeks ago. Cotton is three
to four weeks late ahd some of it five
or six weeks late, but a few more clear
hot days will put it in good condition.
There are no blooms yet and not like?
ly * to be before July 4th. Corn is
still being planted on stubble land,
and if seasons are at all favorable
from now to October, there will be no
western corn sold in this section an?
other year. The old corn is all laid
by, and young corn growing nicely.
Peas everywhere, or will be by the
end of the week, make the outlook
more hopeful than for some time.

To the Editor of the State :
The selection of Prof. S. H. Ed?

Teachers' association was a merited
compliment to one of the best young
educators of South Carolina.
Prof. Edmunds is a young man, full
of energy and thoroughly devoted to
his high calling. For several years he
has been superintendent of the Sum?
ter Graded Schools, which he has
managed most successfully. Having
been a frequent visitor at the white
Graded School, we have had excellent
opportunities to observe Prof. Ed?
munds' work and we have been struck
with the marked affection and re?
spect the pupils have for him.
We confidently expect yet to see
Prof. Edmunds president of some lead?
ing southern college.

Privateer, Sumter Co., June 30.
Local Weather Record for June.
An unusual amount of rain fell dur?
ing the month of June in and around
Sumter, in fact the fall was over
double the quantity which might be
expected for the season. Rain fell 19
days out of the 30, and nine out of
these was accompanied by electric
storms, and in one instance by hail,
not severe enough, however, to create
injury to the crops. The heaviest fall
was on the 6th inst., amounting to 2.76
inches, and the total for the month
reached 14.33 inches.
The temperature for the month was
below normal and the average of nights
unusually cool. The mean maximum
87.8, the mean minimum 64.7. The
highest was 94 degrees on the 30th,
and the lowest 51 degrees on the 13th.
The greatest daily range was 34 degrees
on the 17th.
The month as a unit was not at all
favorable for cotton, tobacco or corn,
and should the month of July prove
dry, the result will be most disastrous
to the farming interests.
