The following startling political bombshell was thrown Into the arena Sunday morning. It appeared lu Iden? tical form In both the Charleston Sun? day News and ths Columbia State, and therefore must bo authoritative. The Cllnkscales bnomltt will require lota of nursing before It attains suffi? cient stature to frighten tbe Belton ' statesman?It sounds too Lump klneaque to be real terrifying: "Prof. John O. Cllnkscales, a mem? ber of the faculty of Wofford College, will be a candidate for the United States senate against A. C. Latimer. For some time there has been talk of Prof. Cllnkscales entering the race, but the announcement was not au? thorised until today when friends of Prof. Cllnkscales stated that he would be In the next United States senator? ial race In South Carolina. "An Intimate friend of Prof. Clink scales. In speaking of nis candidacy, stated that several friends of Prof. Cllnkscales approached him some time ago. but at that time be was not prepared to give out a positive decla? ration. During the last few days, however, he has been prevailed upon to enter the race, and his friends here and e'sswhere will receive the an ewcacement of his candidacy with 1'iuch pleasure. ?'Prof Cllnkscales Is a man of the lg luvt Integrity?a man of pure ? amracter and pleasing personality nd Is a speaker of great ability, and ?e a lecturer Is In great demand sevongrhqut the State. He graduated ?ess Wofford College and since his raduatlon ha* nerved the peopie of ? ? Is State In the cause of education. At one time he was superintendent I f education In Anderson eountv. He as also s member of the faculty of lernt?>n college for several years, but ow occupies the chair of mathemat? ical at Wofford College. His friends a this section of the State are rally ig to his support " The annual talk of other markets laying more ior cotton than Sun t, i has been started. Those who are knocking thin market give dates and figures to bolster up their assertions to the detriment of this market. If the matter Is permitted to pa** un? challenged there Is a possibility of the reputation of Sumter as tbe lend? ing loterk>r cotton market of ths ?tale Suffering. Why can't a commit? tee of tb? chamber of Commerce make a thorough Investigation of ttu whoie a alter and If there is any foun? dation foe the assertions that higher prices have been peid on o|her murk ots for the same grades of cotton, the committee would be In a position to make pructlcil r??? ?mm? mlation* a" to t.ie beat means of rectifying the trouble. There se?ms to t?e very little dispo? sition to hold cott? n for blsh-r prices. At present the cotton Is being sold as rapidly as It c.*n he picked and gin? ned, and no one is Inc ir.ed to keep the cotton off the market. I,>ur on, after some of the pressing debts in? curred In th*? making of the crop, have Wn paid there may be develop? ed a sentiment In favor of holding. Ths farmers know fr ?m experience that It pays to market the crop slow tf. but conditions are such that It seem* wise to ?eil tbe c-op ^ rapidly ee It Is gathered, while prices stand at the preiM-nt level. Thirteen cent* is a ftvtag price tot new cotton, gad most farmer* want to make sure of getting that much for at least a por? tion of their crop.

Your* boys have i ? bl ll on the ?treets at night, and it Is nag orally e one sand toe many el them are to be seen loafing around Sumter'j streets at night, when they should bo at home. The Uno of the Shlloh extension of the Betts .Lumber Company's Railroad is being boated, it win eross Black River a short distance above the "new" Black River cau^ way, which was built a tew years apo, an-1 will ex? tend thence In a southeast* rly direc? tion through Shtloh Township. While It Is bring built as a timber road exclu? sively It Is hopeol that It will IM open? ed to regular freight and passenger traffic and in the near future and will be extended from Its present northern terminus tit the sWttsf mill, otherwise known as Now Sumter, t<> this city. The opening of the road for regular traffic from this city to Beulah would mean a great deal to the business In? terests of Sumter, and tho Chamber of Commerce should leave no stone unturned to attain that result. feei .1 ng prosperous. Thlrtccn-Ccnt Cotton Disqualifies a Wagon Am a Means of Transporta? tion. One day last week a farmer came to town on his wagon along with a negro driver and two bales of cotton. He struck tho market right and sold his cotton for something more than 13 cents a pound. As soon as the cotton was sold and his checks cashed he said to the negro, "Go on home with the wagon, I am not going to ride in a wagon when cotton is selling for thirteen cents." After attendtng to necessary busi? ness, he proceeded to a livery stable and ordered a carriage hitched up to take him horn?, raying to the stable? man that he was done with wagon riding as long as cotton stood up around thirteen cents. The moral of this true story Is that there Is nothing like prosperity for making a man feel good, and nothing approaches high-priced cotton for creating that prosperous feeling.
