(?otcroor Manning Tells Cotton <?row

To tho Farmer?, ot South Carolina
I desire in call f.i your attintion a
matter that, to mv mind, is of grave
concern to every citizen of our Stale.
The Lull wee* II has reached the At?
lanta district. In Georgia. The agri?
cultural committee of the hoard of
trustees of Clemson college, at a meot
Ing held September and ::<>, has
ronnhh red the alari.t.ng aspects of
this mattet, and has taken steps to
bring- this sltuatto ? to the attention of
our farmers so thav Toy can at once
prepare for this disaster when it
strikes us. The government maps and
reports show that the boll weevil has
advanced between 9a and 10a miles to
w irds us this sea am. They have an?
other month or a>re In which to ad?
vance still further In mir direction. I
am not an alarmist, but together with
the other trustees of Clemson college, I
do regard the situation as so serious
that active stc|?? should be taken at
once In order to meet this threatened
mit\. tad pi imx are now being I'or
ited by the Clemson college board
log to this epd. 1 will at a later
1 . give these plans and suggestion
n#? public. In the meantime let me
? ? our farmers throughout the State
to ow wheat, oats. rye. clovers and
r winter crops, In preparation for
ey crops other than cotton, to bo
gr' vrn next year.
1 urge our people also to tlx their
da on plans for raising bogs, cat
md other live stock. I urge this
ler most seriously, and assure them
- 1 will advise only what I know to
? acts. The increased price of cot
ind the spread of the bo|J weevil,
further reducing tin yield of cot?
ton will have i tendency to attract
farmers to the raising of cotton
In prefeii . t . i.?her crops, and to
fix their efforts on an increase In cot?
ton acreag ? This. In my Judgment,
Will mean disaster. I say It ndviscdlv.
Again I urge that everything points to
the appearance of the boll Weevil In
Mouth Carolina within a much shorter
time than previous calculations would
indicate, ami It behooves us a*SJSjgSjInte
people to give this matter air best
thought and to progenTI for It accord?
ingly. We MM not regard It as one of
those misfortunes which may or may
not come to us in a distant future, We
believe that the boll weevil will Soon
he here.
Aniln. I urge upon our people to
plant fond crops and raise m ?ro live

be heeded.

Oar legislature at its last session
created a tax commission for the pur?
pose of ' effectively carrying into e.\e
CUttOg the equitable assessment of
property for taxation." It goes with?
out saying thai the act contemplated
this commission's keeping within tin
scope oi the constitution which pro?
vides, taxation and assessment." 'The
general assembly shall provide by law

Congfi utlon ot IStS, Article n. section
1. How has this commission in its
work thus tar. treated ail classes of
property alike, as the constitution pro?
vides shall he done .' As 1 understand
what they have attempted to do is to
make ? uniform valuation for banks
in the State, of ghoul fifty per cent of
the Value of their Capital, Surplus and
undivided profit, without disturbing
the valuation of real estate and per?
sonal property. Now is this right or
within the constitution, Which Is sup?
posed to guide us? Should we value
for taxation oik ( lass of property at
Aft) per cent, ol its worth when w<
know that a much larger OkUM is Obiy
[valued at tlfteen to twenty-live per
oent. of its worth? Tiuie has been
unnecessary muddying of the water by
the statement from the commission
that the l?anks are returned at a
higher valuation in some counties of
the State than Others. No one has
ever denied this. The same condition
prevails, with other classes of property
in the StatS also. Is it right to reael
nist the taxes against the banks in
the State-, without at the same time

formtttiou to Lodge charge Against
Executive.
Columbia, ? ?et I,?"I think 1 shall
make a personal investigation i i re?
gard to the charge of disorderly con?
duct urged by Columbia citizens to bo
lodged against .Mayor Griffith," said
John W. Richardson, chief of police,
yesterday. Tin- decision of the chief
was readied, he said, after much
consideration of the resolution adopted
by g mass meeting Of citizens Friday
night, requesting him 1?) lodge stich a
charge for certain alleged acts on the
night of September 18, and requesting
him also to compel the presence of all
witnesses "to the end that there may
be a thorough Investigation of the
charges."
"The resolution placed me in an
embarrassing position," he said. i
trust that the citizens of Columbia
realize that I can not arbitrarily
docket a charge against any person,
and especially in an instance like
the present one. I conferred with
Patrolman Hlnnant, who was on that
beat, and Sorgt. Swearinuen, to whom
he reported, and they assured me that
as far as they could discover at the
time there were no grounds on which
to base a charge,
"My ollicial knowledge of the al?
leged disorder, therefore, will not per?
mit me, without further investigation
or an older from city council, to
lodge stub a charge against Mayor
Griffith, unless I find that the inves?
tigation warrants it.
"In my investigation, which I expect
to make early this coining week, I
shall secure statements both from
the inmates of the house where the
disorder is said to have happened and
also from those who were present at
the time."
The committee authorised by the
mass meeting of Columbia citizens
Friday night met last night to con?
sider the provisions laid down in the
resolution creating the committee.
After much deliberation the commit?
tee drafted a letter which was deliv?
ered last night to all members of the
city council.
The letter, signed by W. Anderson
Olorkson, Christopher Atkinson, T. S.
Bryan, w. B, Bummersett, s. W. Par
ham and 11. K. 1 ley ward, is as follows:
MWe, the undersigned, in pursuance
Of the appointment made by a mass
meeting held in the court house in
rhis city last night, respectfully request
you to call and hold a public meeting
of the city council not later than
Tuesday, the 5th of October, at 11 a.
mi, for tin' purpose of Investigating
tin charges against the mayor of dis?
orderly conduct on September 18, and
to ascertain and determine wheth?
er or not the position of head of the
police department should ln? taken out
?.f his hands and control and reas?
signed.
' Also to ascertain and determine
whether he has the power to remit
tines, ami if so, has it been properly
exercised, and should this power he
revok? d ami reassigned."
A special meeting of City council
has been called for 10 o'clock to?

Tho Burnt er High school football

the decisive score of L't; to 7. Tho
game was fiercely fought throughout.
Florence outweighed the Gamecock's
but the speed of the locals backfleld
overcame this, the Florence defense
being unable to smash up 'days.
The first quarter was a scoreless
one, the ball see-sawing up and down
the field. Bach team resorted to
kicking tactics. In the second period
[Sumter scored two touchdowns, ono
on a perfectly executed forward pass,
Spann to Flowers and the other on a
fake play with DesChamps carrying
the ball.
In the third quarter Sumter scored
two more touchdowns. Flowers in?
tercepted one of Florence's forward
passes and ran a good, distance for the
third touchdown. Goal was kicked.
By a series of end runs and line
plunges later in the quarter the ball
was carried within striking distance of
the goal when Spann by a line play
made the final touchdown. Goal was
again kicked.

DARLINGTON SCHOOL WON.
Marion Defeated by Overwhelming
Score by Portcr*c Academy.
Among the results in fool ball of the
past week of local interest were the
victory of St. John's high school of
Darlington over the Dillon school team
and the defeat of Marion high school
by Porter's Military Academy on Sat?
urday, for the local team will have to
face both of these teams later on
on the season.
The St. John's boys overwhelmed
Dillon on Friday afternoon by the
score of 77 to 0, outplaying them at
every stage of the game and scoring
almost at will. The Marion boys
struck a superior team in the Porter s
bunch and were snowed under by the
score of t>2 to 0, although they show?
ed grit and tight in their contest
against a heavier and better trained
team.
In reference to the game in Flor?
ence Friday in which the locals were
victors, although Florence scored for
the fust time against a Sumter team,
The Florence Times of Saturday says
in part:
"Twenty-seven to seven, with Sum?
ter High school as the winner, was
the final score of yesterday's football
game al P. 11. S. park, [f4 'gfPI
This score indicates a bigger vic?
tory for the Gamecocks than the ac?
tual playing showed. The first quar?
ter was full of pep, and good playing
was done on both sides. No scoring.
"The second Quarter started off in
much the same way hut old man
"Nod" put "Sleep" into the Florence
ends. Then "old, old story'' of
"Asleep at the Switch'' a favored pass
by Spann to Flowers, a fifty-five yard
run through the whole Florence team
by the aforesaid Ralph Flowers, and
Sumter had scored. A few more line
bucks by Sumter in the next line
up. "Sleep" caught the Florence de?
fence again, a triple pass and a Sum?
ter half hack was seen reposing un?
der the goal posts, whilo the Flor?
ence ends continued furiously to tack?
le the man who didn't have the ball.
"Just such plays as these composed
the Sumter boys attacks, and their
fast, quick thinking, and generalship,
showed superior to the txtremely
slow work of the Florence backfleld
and ends on both offense and defense."
