not make any difference where the

the money for It. This Incensed the
old raatn. who struck Mrs. Creswell
with a light stick. She then walked
away from him, he following her up,
fstriking her with hie' fist again. At
this juncture Clarence Creswell Inter?

grabbed a shotgun, which stood near

SUPPLYING N*W STANDARD

Cottoei Grading Samples Sent to
Soutp, by Agricultural Department.
Washington, Oct. 2.?To assist
In bringing about more extensive use
of the official cotton standards of the
United States by growers in their
sales the office of markets and rural
organisation of the United States De?
partment of agriculture is cooperating
with the States relations service of
the department in placing in the
hand's of county agents in the cotton
producing sections sets of practical
formS of the standards. The forms
are furnlsied only after the agents
have , given satisfactory assurances
that they will be kept in a place/ ac

More; than 60 sets of the practical
'forms of the standards already have
been snipped to county agents. It is
expected that more than 100 will
soon be placed in this way. Each set
practical forms consists of the
nine grades of white cotton. The
sets remain the property of the
United States government.
In arranging for the keeping of
the standards in the counties the office
of markets x and rural organisation
has approved such agencies as banks,
chambers of commerce, boards of

the presence ot a set of the practical

county agents will figure the local
valuations from day to day for the
different grades, taking into consider?

MR. JAMES* RECOLLECTION.
Statement in Reference to Alleged
Bolt in Constitutional Convention
Election of 1805.
Editor of Sumter Daily Item.
You all are, to be sure, the "awful
est people ever"?Just like you were
In 1890 or a little more so.
The proposed Reformers' Conven?
tion, the call for which has so dis?
turbed you, is for no other purpose
than for us to get better acquainted
and felicitate ourselves on the good
fight which we put up in the last pri
I mary.
Concerning your extended notice of
the. doings in the 90's, your memory is
not so good with reference to those
things you said about me.
The two factions met on the same
day. I did not know that the propo?
sition for a division was coming up
i . ? '
in our caucus, but I liked it and urged
it as stoutly as I could, though with?
out influence, for it was voted down.
While some walked out, I felt bound
to remain since I had participated in
the test. A ticket was nominated to
stand for election in the special elec?
tion whfch was to be held for dele?
gates to the Constitutional Conven?
tion, of course no negroes being nom?
inated. ,
I can at this writing call to mind
only three of those put out by us
Tillmanttes, they being Capt. D. E.
Keels, L. D. Jennings and myself.
During the interim before the elec?
tion, which for our side was
I being managed entirely by Capt.
i Keels, who was also at the
time chairman of the county executive
committee, Mr. Jennings and I heard
that some understanding had been
arrived at whereby the negroes, were
to support our ticket. We went at
once to Capt. Keels to inquire as to
its truth or falsity, we having decid?
ed forthwith to have our names
Istricken from the ticket if the rumor
were true. However, the captain as?
sured us most positively that there
'was absoluely no truth in the report.
This is all I ever heard of negroes be?
ing involved in that special election.
I I well remember, and with a high
degree of pleasure, the mahly manner
.in, which Mr. Jennings backed up the
interviewer who put the questions co
Capt. Keels.
I shall thank you for publishing
i this version of the circumstances you
alluded to in Friday's issue?this be?
ing a true, account of the whole of
my experiences and knowledge of the
oXjogghwr~tti|t|er ffigpiiso-fliii ? ~"r

C ROP SHORT OF ESTIMATE.
Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 3.?The
present cotton crop will fall short of
the 11,637,000 bales estimate issued
yesterday by the United States depart?
ment of agriculture, according to
Henry N. Pope, president of the Asso?
ciation of State Farmers' Union pres?
idents. The government's first esti?
mate was for a crop of more than
14,000,000 bales but this has been re?
duced 3,000,000 bales by revised fig?
ures and is said to be caused by cli?
matic and pest damage but according
to President Pope these two fnctorS
are going to be instrumental in fur?
ther reducing the revised estimate.
'The top crop which is th.3 smallest
in history has also been generally
over estimated," said Mr. Pope, "and
the present cotton crop is one of the
largest acreage, is the smallest yield
per acre within 20 years and the in?
dications are it will bring the highest
aggregate price of any crop in the
history of the cotton industry. It is
an established fact that small produc?
tion is usually followed the next year
by a large acreage and a heavy yield.
The cotton farmer will never get out
of debt or the tenant become a home
owner until we get a reasonable price
for a reasonable crop. Ever since
the South has been planting 30,000,
000 acres in cotton each cotton farm?
er has been selling cotton at about
three cents per pound less than cost of
production. The only protection of a
cotton farmer against a calamity of
low prices is in a 12 cent loan mini
mom by government or some agency
capable of protecting it.
