St. John of New York, in which he spoke of the danger of speculating in cotton on the part of men who produce it," said Mr. J. C. Maxwell of New Orleans, at the New Willard. "Col. St. John hits the nail Bquarely on the head when ho advises southern farmers to fight shy off mythical purchases and sales of their own products. As I came north this time I overheard two prosperous looking planters in the parlor coach near me discussing the market, and telling of their operations. At length I got acquainted with them, and we began to talk of "futures." In fact, that was about the only subject they seemed to care aliout discussing, and it was evident the bug of speculation possessed them. Finally, I asked them if they had been long accustomed to playing the market, and they confessed they were amateurs of but little experience. Upon this an elderly gentle- [ man, who had been listening to our conversation addressing the planters directly said: I 'I understand that you gentlemen are cotton growers. Now take the counsel of an old man and content yourselves with making that necessary article of consumption. There are plenty of others to gamble in it. Pardon my plain talk, but you farmers are the veriest greenhorns in financial matters, and the speculative game was made to shear just such innocents. Even if you make a few winnings your success is only temporary; the big gamesters in 'New York will sooner or later pick you as clean as a bleached bone on the prairie.

Since the exclusive publication in be Record of the desire of dispenCnr leaders in the State to get toother in a conference and map out programme for the fight in the tato this year, appeals have been jnt to Senator Tillman asking him > take charge of the proposed gathring and send invitations to the laders. The senior South Carolina enator, it is understood, discussed ic matter with a number of the saders, including State Senator lanning, John Gary Evans and thcrs, but he is so full up to the eck with work in the Senate, dealig with the railroad problem, that e indicated his inability to give le attention to the matter he bould desire. He still has the reposition under consideration, nd the expectation is strong that e will take some action before a reat wltilc, whether in the direction f a conference cannot be stated. Those who know the methods ot re Senator would not be surprised i see a manifpstn donlincr wifh tVic lbject, something on the order oi le famous Shell manifesto that receded the famous great camaign of 1890. This, however, ie urely speculative, as Senator Tillrnn is too busy a man to reach an nportant decision so quickly. It i absolutely certain that if he had ie time at his disposal in Washinge would enter into a lively correxmdcncc with the dispensary lcadrs, find out what they deem best nd act act accordingly. While rciirding the dispensary question as f immense importance to ^outh arolina, Senator Tillman feels, it i understood, that his duties in the enate call him to closer attention ) the question so important to the ation at large, that of railroad rates. Ie is in the thick of his fight up to is neck and spends nearly all of hie me studying over what he will do hen the railroad rate question gets ndcr full swing in the Senate. He i informing himself on every posible phase of the question and will o his best to master it so that he tin look after the the interests ol ire country in the fight against railDad monopoly and greed. It is this busy condition of SenaDr Tillman that may postpone c pirited opening of the State camaign at once, as no move will b< lade without ins sanction and aproval. T>:II?J?i - j x uuiiaiui jLiiiiuu.il 19 UllUUrbUJUU It 2ali/.e that the anti-dispensary peo le will make an attempt to control lie May convention, only twe lonths off, so that they can pass ^solutions condemning the system, 'hey are believed to be at work ow laying plans to capture thai onvention, 'if possible. It is nol ct known whether Senator Tillmar egnrds the possible capture of th( onvention by them as importanl nough to try to prevent, inasmuch s he feels that the great fight wil e in the campaign and during the rimaries. Preliminary viccorief ir either side will not have much earing upon the final results in th< ampaign. If a manifesto should e issued, however, it will becertair o arouse the State and put the dis ensary forces in good fighting con ition from the start.? Daily Record Death of Nr. Patrick C. Riley.
