Columbia, April 17.-An act passed by the legislature of 1905, affects, in an important way, candidates in the coming Democratic club meetings, county and state conventions, primary elections. This act forbids any person by threats, or any other form of intimida? tion, or by the payment, delivery or promise of money, or other article of value" to induce "another to vote for or against any particular candidate in such election." Section 2 of the act requires every candidate "before he shall enter upon ! his campaign" to file a pledge that he i "will not give nor spend money or use intoxicating liquors for the purpose of obtaining or influencing votes," the pledge requiring him "immediately af? ter the primary" to file an itemized statement which "shall be open to public inspection," showing under oath "all further moneys spent or pro? vided by me in said election." The act makes null the election of any one who fails to comply with its provisions. Though his duties do not require him to do so. State Chairman Jones, out of the interest he feels in the par? ty, and exercising characteristic care to save his friends and acquaintances from the consequences of neglect or oversight, is taking great pains to get this act under the eye of everyone intending to become a candidate in the coming election. He is having sev? eral hundred copies of the act printed in order to distribute them himself and send others out to the county chairmen with a request that they personally see that the candidates comply with the law in time. County candidates file these pledges with the clerk of court while' candidates in more than one county, such as would be solicitors, congressmen, staff offi? cers and the like, are required to file the pledge w^th the secretary of state. Following is a copy of the act: Section 1. At or before every po? litical primary, election held by any political party, organization or asso? ciation, for the purpose of choosing candidates for office or the election of delegates to conventions in this state, any person who shall, .ty threats or any other form of intimidation, or by the payment, delivery or promise of money, or any other article of value, procure or offer, promise or endeavor to procure another vote for or against any particular candidate in such elec? tion, or who shall for any such consid? eration, offer to so vote, shall be guil? ty of a misdemeanor. Sec. 2. Every candidate offering for election, under the provisions of sec? tion 1, shall make the following pledge and file the same with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the coun? ty in which he'is a candidate, unless he should- be a candidate in more than one county, in which case he shall file same with the secretary of state, before he shall enter upon his cam? paign, to wit: I. the undersigned -:- of the county of - the state of South Carolina, candidate for the office of -, hereby pledge that -I will not give nor spend money, or use intoxicating liquors for the purpose of obtaining or influenc? ing votes, and that I shall, at the con? clusion of the campaign and before the primary election, render to the clerk of the court, (or secretary of ?state as hereinafter provided) under j oath, an itemized statement of all moneys spent or provided by me dur? ing the campaign for campaign pur? poses up to that time, and I further pledge that I will, immediately after the primary election or elections that I am candidate in, render an itemized statement, under oath, showing all further moneys spent or provided by me in said election: Provided. That a failure tc comply with this provision shall render such election null and void, in so far as the candidate who fails to file the statement herein re? quired, but shall not affect the validity of the election of any candidate com? plying with this section: And. pro? vided, further. That such itemized statement and pledge shall be open to public inspection at all times. Sec. 3. That any voliation of tho provisions of this act shall be a misde? meanor, and any person, upon convic? tion thereof, shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500, or be ? imprisoned at hard labor for not less than one month nor more than six months, or both fine and imprison- I ment, in the discretion of the court.

Bankers Offer to Furnish Money for Farmers to Hold Cotton, Says Pres? ident Jordan-Considerable on Hand. Atlanta. April 17.-In response to the request of President Harvie Jor? dan, of the Southern Cotton Associa? tion, Mr. Jno. D. "Walker, of Sparta, Ga., one of the most prominent bank? ers of Georgia, who is widely known by reason of his magnificent work in behalf of the Southern Cotton Asso? ciation last year among the banks of the South, has undertaken to ascer? tain from the bankers of those states in the South, where most of the unsold portion of the 1905 cotton crop is now held, the real situation and also the sentiment of the farmers and bankers of these states in regard to what shall be done with the cotton on hand. Mr. Walker addressed a letter to every bank in Georgia, North Caroli? na, South Carolina, Alabama and Mis? sissippi and asked them various ques? tions in th?ir respective localities. He has receivel over 1.000 replies and nine-tenths of the bankers say that they are not only willing to furnish the farmers money with which to hold the cotton, but that they are able to carry it for the farmers until July if necessary. Several hundred thousand bales of cotton are owned by the farmers upon which nothing has been borrowed, showing that the farmers are in splen? did financial condition, and strong enough to hold their cotton indefinite? ly if they wish to do so. The senti? ment prevailing in the South, as indi? cated by 90 per cent of the-replies re? ceived by Mr. Walker, is in favor of the balance of the crop being sold ac from 12 1-2 to 15 cents per pound. This work on the part of Mr. Walk? er among the bankers of the South is extremely valuable at this time, as it shows conclusively that the farm? ers not only have the backing and support of the bankers, but that their position is so strong that they need not sell their cotton until they get ready to do so. With a short crop and large con? sumption, and with fianancial backing suf'icient to enable the farmers to hold their cotton, higher prices are almost sure to be realized. Mr. Walker is entitled to, and doubt? less will receive the thanks not only ?>f the farmers of the South, but of the bankers and ali others interested n ?he industrial development and ma E>: ia! progress of the South. If the balance of the unsold portion of ihe crop is promptly tied up prices will immediately advance to much higher figures, and 15 cents will be realized. The testimony and judgment of Southern bankers in their replies to Mr. Walker as above set forth fully sustains the position of the Southern Cotton Association and the Xew Or? leans prices for the balance of the un? sold portion of the crop of 1905.

A dispatch from New Orleans states that an accident insurance company has refused to pay a big accident pol? icy on the life of a millionaire of that city who was killed in an automobile accident in California. The company contends that it should not be made to pay a claim on an automobilists on the ground that most of thom are monomaniacs on the question of speeding their machines, and that the company is therefore freed from re? sponsibility. Suit has been entered for the amount of the policy. The decision of the court will be awaited with no less anxiety in Sumter. South Carolina, than in Xew Orleans, Lousiana.-* .vews and Courier.

SENATOR TILLMAN SPEAKS OUT. "Remarkable" Speech on Banks in Politics. Washington, April 17.-The Senate today listened to a remarkable speech by Tillman in which he inveighed against alleged corrupt practices of national banks. He declared that startling information had come to him and he wished to fix responsibility for non-action where it belonged. He sent to the desk an article charging that banks had filled the campaign chest of Mark Hanna and that Senior Knox was connected with a bank that had contributed. Reformatory School Goes to Florence. Columbia, April 18.-The State in? dustrial school for youthful criminals will be located at Florence, unless there should be some hitch in the ar? rangements. The board of trustees met yesterday in the office of Gov. Hey? ward, who is ex-officio chairman, and after hearing an ofter from the dele? gation from the Florence business men and an offer from business men of Yorkviile, it was decided to locate in Florence. The members of the board present wore: Judge A. C. Haskell Rev. S. M. Smith, D. D" Dr. W. C. Irby, Prof. D. D. Wallace, Ph. D., Supt. J. L. Mann, Supt. Henry P. Archer and Mr. Le Roy F. Youmans. ex-officio. The dele? gation from Florence consisting of Mr. Hartwell M. Ayer, Mr. J. L. Barringer, president of the Bank of Florence and a prominent business man, Mr. W. M. Waters, Dr. James Evans. Dr. X. W. Hix and Mr. R. M. McCown and Mr. C. E. Commander of this city, from erly of Florence, were .there to speak a good word for the "electric city." Mr. Ayer, as spokesmen for the party, said that Florence was willing to give 50 acres of land, worth at least $2.500 and $4,000 in cash. There were no Yorkviile representatives present, but their offer was to dispose of the old King's Mountain Military school property to the board for $6,700. This cost over $22.000 and was a very good offer. Mr. Ayer stated that the people of Florence had not strained themselves to raise this money, and that if they thought there was any chance to get the industrial school, they would con? tribute more liberally if caiied upon. The Pee Dee section has no State in? stitution "and he feels sure that this would be made a success by the moral support of the entire Pee Dee country if it should be located at Florence. He spoke of the magnanimous way in which Marion, Bennettsville and other I sections had responded and had helped ! Florence to get a government build? ing. There was some discussion as to the character and scope of work to be done by this institution, which in its incipiency was known as a "reforma? tory" and will yet be conducted as a reformatory, although along somewhat different lines from those at first pro? posed. The board explained that the law had not thoroughly expounded and that the people of Florence might no: get exactly what they are expecting, but Mr. Ayer stated that h.* would say for Florence that if the reformatory should be located there the people of that city would do what they can to make it a success. Furthermore they will accept any construction of the law that might be made. After some discussion the board de? cided that the invitation of Florence should be accepted, provided that the site offered should prove satisfactory upon examination. ?What good does it do to eat if your stomach fails to digest the food?
