lent of Helling and Ituylug.
Washington, Sept. .t.?A ilay or two
?ku when the hum h discussed "C larke
amendm nt to th?? tariff hill, which
altee ts rotten in all of its phases, was
before ths senate, Senator K. D. smith
made one of the hest speec hes en the
subjec t whteh has yet been delivered
in the upper house of congress. What
he ssld Is so elear, so complete and
so convincing mil goes Into amend
nient so exhatiMively and explains It
so thoroughly that it is herewith given
at such length at space will permit.
It should be stated here that Sena?
tor Smith has received letters from
a number of people in South Carolina,
Including E. W Dabbs of sumter, C.
A. Me Lurk In of Chester. W. C. M?Pad
den of Chester, M. P. Llpacomb of
Osffnev o. C. Scarborough of Sum
inerton. W. L. He Pass of Camden,
Wsde Stackhouse of Dillon and many
others who are interested In the mat?
ter.
speaking on fhls proposition, Sena?
tor Smith said in part.
"1 desire to say in the beginning
that 1 am heartily In favor of the
principle Involved in his amendment.
I wlath to state to the senate, however,
In order that Iis members may thor?
oughly understand this question, that
the thing about which the cotton rais?
ers of the South are complaining
Is the nature of the contracts on the
eschange. The matter Is a technical
one. and Ihere'ore tt will require some
little fXplunuM .n.
"Under the t ;rms of the New York
contract there are 15 or more grades.
They did have at one time, 1 believe,
*7 grades. In the middle of those
grades there la a grade known as
middling.' They would sell a contract,
basis middling, with a proviso In the
? ontr ict that the seller of the contra't
might have the option of delivering on
that contract anything from the low?
est and most uncommercial to the
highest and finest grade of cotton.
The consequence was that the pur?
chaser of the contract never would
Know what grude of cotton he was
going to get.
"The practical working of the mat
I?t > at the grade committee in
rk, and at one time in New
I m?ets and arbitrarily tlxee
tin dlhtsfOJMg between middling and
thl glades abo\e and the grades below
for 90 days. The result is that If an
Individual bid 10 cents, basis mid?
dling, and the committee had tixed
the difference between that and or?
dinary at 1 cent, when the pure haser
came to demund the specific fulfill?
ment of his contract he would get
ordinary delivered to him at I certs.
He bid 10 vents for middling, und he
would get ordinary ut the option of
the seller.
The result was that If the general
trade would not accept his ordinary at
s cents, but would give him only 8,
he lost $5 a bale. The result was that
the next time he bid on middling he
bid without reference to the value of
middling - without reference to the
law of supply und demand for mid?
dling?but bid with reference to what
he was probably going to get, which
ewas ordinary, at a tixed. arbitrary
difference between what he bid on
middling, and what he got ordinary
for. Therefore he bid y cents for mid
dhng without regard to Its real value.
"I can submit papers to the senate
to ahow that middling cotton on the
board of New York for a long period
of time vs.is quoted, say, at 10 cents a
p. und. when the spot middling In th ?
v ?rehouses, where the buyer would
? the right to go and sample each
nd selert hi* 1 '>?? hates of mid
gJl SOS from a cent to g cent and
*,!???? ?. the board price.
I 's thit demoralization from
. oh-h the farmers of the South beg
relief. I Introduced ? bill requiring
that eac h and gvery contruct for the
future dehwrv of cotton should speci?
fy the parti, i.lar grade contra? |Od for
and that such grades as were con?
tracted for should be delivered I'pon
Investigation 1 found that what the
senator from Arkansas says is lurgeh
tine perhaps entirely so?that the

istion of the genfkei
i wroi? Utters as the subject le ??
number of farmers' organizations, und
in response I got u letter, which 1 will
read, from the Farmern' union. I
Just want to Hhow their attitude in
ret er? nee to the matter.
"The Clarke amendment taxes all
contracts. Tiierefore, no matter who
?eil*? a eontra -t, whether basic or spe
clflc, if for ar y reason he can not fill*
till the eontrriet, no matter how hon
est he may be when he makes it, ho
ho* to i?ay this tax under the Clarke
amendment. Hut we farmers?and
that is my occupation?say, if you rar-,
eliminate the bad contract from the
fOodi 00 that if you do not conform
to a specific Krade in your contract you
shall pay this tax. The reason is that
it is unfair; It is gambling not to
specify the Kraule; it is a pure case
of collus on for the purpose of buying
and sellinj? at your own sweet will
thousands and millions of bales of
cotton that never were In existence.
Hut you do not dare to sell a specific
contract under those circumstances,
because were you to sell it to me at
a specific price, say 11 cents, and it
specified middlinK according" to gov?
ernment standardization, I could take
that and sell It to a miller, and un?
der the law he could demand fulfill?
ment of the contract.
"I want to say that the farmers do
not believe any harm can be done to
them If the contracts are so made as
to specify the grade contracted foi
and the grade that is contracted foi?
ls made accordiuK to government
standardization. Tne government has
now for the first time in the history
of cotton growing standardized the
grades. 1 propose as an amendment
to the amendment proposed by the
senator from Arkansas, (Mr. Clarke)
that the contracts hereafter tihall
specify the grade or grades contract?
ed for and such grades as ure con?
tracted for shall be according to the
government standardization. And
such contracts as conform to this
shall be exempt from taxation. If
this is done it will guarantee an ap?
proximately honest market. It will
give the man who produces cotton a
market in which he can sell his cot?
ton ut any time if he wishes to do so.
lie can name the grade or grades and
deliver these grades without huvlng
to pay a tax In case he is unable by
any reason to make deliveries. Un?
der the present system it It the lat?
itude given, the seller that has
caused all the trouble and dissatisfac?
tion. Under the present form of c<#i?
tract on the exc hanges the seller hin?
the option of delivering anything on
thw contract from the lowest to the
highest grade. The senator from Ar?
kansas has quoted Lewis W. Parker
as saying he would not demund de?
livery on a New Vork contract, but
would run from it. The reason for
this is, as I have stated before, that
the seller of that contract in New
York would not be likely to deliver
spinnable cotton, hut would dell\?-r
some low grude stuff overvalued,
which Mr. Parker could not take V.
the price tendered and spin or sell
without a !oss. Under the amendment
I proposed particular grades would
be specified and Mr. Parker or any
other person demanding deliveries
would get what he bought und no
harm would be done."

Columbia, Sept. fi.?Three high?
waymen, alleged to have b ?en dis?
guised with blackened faces, yester?
day aTternoon robbed three officials
Of the^ J. (). White Engineering com?
pany of over $11,000 near the Parr
Shoals station. J. C. Joyner deputy
sheriff, was slightly wounded.
"It was pulled off just as If It had
been planned for 99 years," said an'
official of the company yesterday.
The money was sent out from the
National Loan & Exchange bank of
Columbia on Southern passenger train
No. 13, of the Columbia and Spar
tanburg division, which is due at Parr
Shoals at 2.19 p. m., and was address?
ed to J. T. McLellen, superintendent
of the J. ?. White Construction com?
pany.
The money had been receipted for
by II. W. Mahar, the cashier of the
J. Q. White Construction company.yA
few minutes later as he, with Fred
Bultman and J. C. Joyner, Fairfleld
county deputy, were on their way to
the offices of the company, they were
confronted by three white men, each
armed with two revolvers.
Deputy Joyner hesitated to raise
his hands and reached for his pistol.
As he did so he was shot, receiving a
painful though not serious flesh
wound In the thigh. Three other
shots were fired, It Is said, but these
went wild.
The money was in three packages,
one containing $$000 in gold, another
$11,166 In currency, and a third.Mien*
with $:if>:i.ll In small change.
After the holdup the robbers dash?
ed across the railroad and Into the
woods on the east s'.de of the track.
The entire plant of the construction
company was shut down that the
men might assist in scouring the
woods.
The searchers were divided into
parties, each headed by a captain,
and as many as 2,000 men are be?
lieved to be hunting the robbers.
The $3,000 In gold was made up of
$5, $10 and $20 pieces. Of the cur?
rency, $1,500 was made up of $1 and
$2 bills, and $1,200 in $5 and $10
and $20 bills, the larger portion be?
ing of the two latter denominations.
A third package, one of silver, con?
tained $35:1.11 in small change.
The money was in charge of H. W.
Mahar, cashier of the engineering
company; Frd Bultman, assistant
cashier, and Deputy Joyner, a police?
man at Parr Shoals. The robbers were
also three in number and had black?
ened their faces that they might ap?
pear like negroes. As the bearers of
the money were passing through a
railway cut between a string of box j
cars and the side of the cut they
were confronted by the highwaymen
and had six pistols thrust in their
faces. At the command to throw up
their hanos, Deputy Joyner I hesitated
and made an effort to pull his pistol.
As he did so he was shot through
the thigh, the bullet inflicting a pain
ful though not serious flesh wound. |
Mahar and lUiltman did not offer re?
sistance, it is said, after the deputy i
had been shot down. Seizing the
three packages of money the robbers
dashed down the railroad track by
the station and on Into the woods
down the Mayo creek.
As the robbers passed the station
J. A. Hancock, the camp boss, at?
tempted to Intercept them He was
fired upon three times, none of the
shots hitting him.
There was nothing to indicate that
an Intensely dramatic incident was to
be enacted when train No. 13 of fhe
Columbia and Spartanburg line drew
up at the Parr Shoals station at 2.20
I o'clock, The money was received by
J. M. Campbell, the express agent,
i and was Immediately transferred to
Mr. Mahar. Two minutes later the
whole camp was thrown into con?
fusion by the news of the oaring deed
of the bandits. The news Hashed in
Btantly tO all corners of the camp, and
the 7uu laborers were at once released
Ural they might Join in scouring th<?
woods for the highwaymen, The men
I were organised into small companies,
I each directed by a captain, and wer?
j.nt out in every direction to patrol
toads and to keep :i sh..'p lookout for
any suspect. Telepl ?ne medsuges were
sent to the police department In Co

The money was went out yesterday
from the National Loan and Exchange
bank in three packages. One con?
tained $3,000 in gold, consisting of $5,
$10 and $20 pieces. In another was
$12,655 of currency; $1,500 of this be?
ing In $1 and $2 bills and $11,200 in
$5, $10 and $20 bills, the larger por?
tion being in $10 and $20 bills. The
third package was of small silver
change, there being $.553.11. The
total amount stolen, to be accurate,
was $16,008.11.
The money was consigned to J. T.
McLeller., superintendent of the J. G.
White Construction company, and was
carried out ot Columbia on Southern
train No. 13, of the Columbia and
Spartanburg division. This train
leaves Columbia at 1.10 o'clock and is
due to arrive at Parr Shcals.at 2.19
o'clock. There is a large force of
hands engaged in the construction
work at Parr Shoal, and that pay?
ment is made every two weeks is gen?
erally known. When the train from
Columbia ran into the Parr Shoals
station yesterday afternoon, H. W.
Mahar, cashier of the company, sign?
ed the express messenger's receipt,
and, with Fred Bultman, assistant
cashier and Deputy Joyner started to
the offices of the company, which ar?e
about a quarter of a mile up the hill.
There is a steep embankment on the
west side of the railroad track, and a
stairway leads to the top of this. As
the three men in charge of the money
ascended the stairs, they had to pass
between a part of the embankment
and a group of box cars. It was while
in this narrow gorge tl^at they were
confronted by three white men, who
had blackened their faces. Each of
the assailants carried two revolvers,
and these were thrust into the faces of
the bearers of the money with the
demand that their hands be thrown
up. Deputy Joyner hesitated and
reached for his gun, and as he did so
he was shot in the thigh.

tOTEST ON BANANA TARIFF.
Central Aiuericuii Countries Huve
Complained Against Levying of
This Duty.
Washington, Sept. 5.?It developed
here today that the Central American
countries have protested to the state
department against the levying of a
tax on bananas as provided in the
Underwood-Simmons tariff bill. They
claim that if this provision of the
bill is not amended that it will se?
riously affect the cotton roods trade
with these countries. It is claimed
that last year these people purchased
over $12,000,000 worth of cotton
goods of the class which is manu- j
factured in the South. This trade has
been built up at considerable cost
by the Southern cotton manufacturers
during the past four years, it is claim?
ed. A tax on the banana
growers WOUld have the same effect as
a tariff by England on raw cotton j
would have on the Southern fanners
and would result in retaliation against
cotton goods, according to represen- j
tatlvei of the Central American coun*
tries. i
Further than to admit that a pro
test had been made by these countries,
the state department would not talk
of the matter lor publication.

Man Hunt During Sunday FoClMsod
on Woods Near Daw kins. Posses
Relieved.
DawkiM, Sept. 7.?Consistent comb?
ing today of the woods to Which pur- j
CUera were led Saturday afternoon by 1
Bobbins' bloodhounds failed to locate
the three bandits wanted for the Parr
j
Shoals robbery. Hedges and high?
ways had been guarded, railroad
tracks had been patrolled and Other
precautions taken; but when the
searching party beginning its task at
daybreak, covered the clump of woods
into which the trail led, no robbers
could be found. Kinds of three water?
melons, supposed to be the remains
of the bandits' evening repast, fur
nish evidence that the three men tar-j
ried in the undergrowth. September's
new moon sank at about 10.30 o'clock
and J. T. McLellan, superintendent of
construction, who was in personal
charge of the searching parties, said
yesterday that if the men traveled j
during Saturday night it was after the
moonlight has ceased to cast its glow
on the woods, leaving the place very
dark.
Relieved by a dozen men from Parr
Shoals, who arrived on the early train
yesterday morning, about the same
number of searchers, fatigued from)
duty, returned to camp for needed'
rest. The new arrivals immediately
joined Mr. McLellan's party At day?
break the dogs hod been placed at
the tree where they IOtt the trail
at dark Saturday afternoon. Al?
though they could still .scent the old
track, they could not follow Its course
further than to the tree which had
been the previous stopping place.
Guard Kobbins took his bloodhounds
over the vicinity, but at a late hour
they had been unable to trice further
the steps of the three men.
Where the men went, and where
they are headed are the questions
worrying the authorities. The search
will be continued.
Dawkins, little City of one store and
a depot, had an exciting Sunday. Cit?
izens from nearby points came to
town, and a number of residents of
that community joined in the day's
search. Most of the hunting was
done about three miles from Daw
kins, which is a station on the Co
lumbia-Spartanburg line of the South?
ern railway, 10 miles north of Parr
Shoals.
J. T. Mc Lellan, superintendent of
construction, was found by The State's
reporter about two miles from town.
Sitting on the side of the public road,
he gave an account of the search
which has been made for the ban?
dits since the robbery occurred Fri?
day afternoon. Mr. McLellan believes
that the three men came out of the
woods about S.30 o'clock Saturday
night and stayed around that vicin?
ity all night. He said that every road
was patrolled, the ravines and hollows
had been thoroughly covered, and
that tb*1 only chance for the men
to have escaped was after the moon
went dwn.
"Twenty-live minutes after the rob?
bery occurred, the sheriffs of the sur?
rounding counties were notitied," said
.Mr. McLellan, "and by 3 o'clock posses
ha i been started out with the mem?
bers of the volunteer lire department
as captains." ,
After these men had spent a busv
night, fresh forces were organized
Saturday mbrnln( and started in pur?
suit. A tip that the men were in
the vicinity was gotten by Mr. McLel?
lan from a negro who claimed he had
been held up In the woods between
Parr Shoals and Sueville and that one
of the men said, "Wo had better be
going" when they heard dogs In the j
distance. The negro said that the
men were still blacked up and carried
bundles, and that they departed up
a ravine which runs from Parr's pas?
ture to Monticello; With this infor?
mation, M*r. Mclxdlnn said that he
started out ? arly Saturday morning
with about t<l men. He followed the
ravine from that point to Monticello,
Covering a swath of country four
miles in Width. When he got hi*
men near Monticello, he divided them
into three forces, and one swung to
wards Duwkins, covering that space
of territory between Monticello, the
ravine and Jenklnsvllle. Arriving at
JenicinsvlUe at i o'clock Saturday af?
ternoon, Mr. McLellan met Sheriff
ilood o f Falrfleld county and calling
Parr shoals by telephone, found that
a nemo bad seen three men on the
edge of a melon patch. His louses
worn o?d, the superintendent returned
to Jenklnsvllle for more men and
fresh teams and coming bark to
Monticello ngai \ met Sheriff Hood.
They Interviewed the little negro ub'
named Davis, and took up the nunt
again. Striking the trail they kept it
up until 9 u'clock Saturday night,
when it was lost. Early yesterday
morning the search was resumed.
"They evidently put oil of mustard
on their shoes at the tree where W?
lost the trail.' said Mr. McLellan.
"Guard Bobbins has done good work.'
be continued, "and would have Iraee
e- " . ! .
the 111? ? 11 further hut lor the oil of
mustard which they evidently used."
Mr. IfoLellan was enthusiastic in
his praise of Mr. Rohhlns and of the
people of the surrounding community,
and said ho appreciated their assist?
ance. II?. said that work would SO
resumed at Parr shoals in full time
tomorrow, hut that the patrol would

Today's road patrol was active and
