Aiken, Feb. 1.?Charged with the killing of William McCullough in Augusta Sunday right, J. J. Taylor, a young merchant of Graniteville in this county, was arrested today and carried to Augusta. The killing of McCullough presented something of a mystery this morning. The dead man, an operative of an Augusta cotton mill, had just left three friends last night to go to his home nearb> when a hack drove up and those standing at the corner saw a man dressed in gray clothes alight down the street. A scuffle ensued, followed by two pistol shots. The man in gray was seen to jump quickly into the hack and was driven hurredly away. McCullough was found dead on the sidewalk. Augusta police today located George McAlpin, who said he was the driver of the hack. The arrest of Taylor followed. The negro declared that he hart said nothing because he had been threatened with death if he told, but he declared that he knew Taylor well and that it was Taylor who killed McCullough. According to the negro Taylor was driven to a point near the union station in Augusta, where Inboarded a midnight train to Charleston which passes in a mile of Graniteville. Taylor declined to make a statement when arrested. It is believed that in the darkness McCullough was mistaken for another person, as there is nothing to indicate that he and Taylor were acquainted while the n*? gro hackman declares that he has often driven Taylor to the home of a young woman who lives within a few doors of where the killing took place Sunday night.

Zapata, according to a telegram received by the widow of Gen. Carranza from his first chief at Vera Cruz. Gen. Venustiano Carranza, in his message to Mrs. Carranza, who is a refugee here, stated that troops would be sent to recover the bodies. Gen. Jesus Carranza and his staff were taken prisoners by troops under command of Santibanez recently near San Geronimo on the isthmus of Tehauntepec and most of his staft according to reports, were executed immediately. Jesus Carranza, his son, Abelardo, and Peraldi, a relative, were held prisoners at that time by Santibanez, who had joined forces with Zapata. The father, mother, wife and other members of Gen. Santibanez's family were recently reported captured in the State of Jalapa and sent to Vera Cruz where constitutionlists saia they would hold them pending disposition of Jesus Carranza. It is stated that Jesus Carranza was executed because of the refusal of his brother, Gen. Carranza, to restore Santibanez to his command as general in the Carranza army. At the time of his capture such a demand with a threat that he would be executed unless it was complied with was conveyed to Gen. Carranza. The latter replied that his brother was willing to die for the cause if necessary and that he would accept this alternative rather than condone the act of Santibanez. The order went forth from Vera Cruz immediately, however, foi troops to rush to Tehuantepec to rescue the captured general and his istaff. Apparently they arrived too 1.1. mtc* Santibanez, formerly a general in the federal army, later joined the Carranza forces, finally leaving them and attaching himself to Zapata's command.

The agriculture appropriation bill, which passed the House last week, carried an appropriation for the enforcement of this Act. When this item in the bill was reached Congressman Lever by way of explanation of the operation of the Act, made some pertinent comments 011 the cotton marketing situation. Congressman Lever's remarks were to the effect that the operation of the Cotton Futures Act had resulted in increased valuation of the spot cotton in the hands of the farmer. Mr. Lever spoke in part as follows: "It will be remembered that in my report accompanying the cotton futures bill, which later became a law, I predicted that as a result of this | legislation the value of the New York contract would be enhanced from $1 to $2.50 per bale, and that this enhancement of the value of the quotation basis, reflecting itself in the spoi markets of the South, would mean from $15,000,000 to $115,000,000 each year additional to the cotton producers. "Immediately succeeding the botrinning of the war in Europe the exchanges closed, and remained cKsed Ontfl the lfith day of November. On that day they reopened. The Cotton Futures Act does not become effective in the whole until the 18th of February of this year, but in anticipation of its becoming operative the exchanges since their opening have been dealing in two kinds of contracts namely, the did contract under which they operated, and the new contract, drawn to conform substantially with the provisions of the contract provided for the Cotton Futures Act. I feel a pardonable pride in finding that my prophecy as to the effect of this Act in enhancing the value of cotton in the hands of the farmer is borne out by the difference in the value of the two contracts, showing a much higher value for the new contract over the old, as will be seen by the following comparison furnished me by the department of agriculture. Then followed a table of figures showing a comparison referred to by Congressman Lever. He read statements from cotton merchants and manufacturers which sustained the position which he^took in pressing the bill to passage in the House, namely, thp.t the exchanges would reflect more accurately under the provisions of the bill to real commercial value of cotton, added: "It is very gratifying to me, because I have spent ten years in the study of this problem, to feel that Actl ercan nvill sell at H AW sell at $1.4 umes9 Flowei d Continues > large a stock itions are such e goods. And ^ s.

The Democrrats of the nation have an issue to face and they as well prepare for it. The liquor interests are at bay; they are on the defensive. They realize that they have but a few more years in which to fatten upon the woes of their victims, but they are fighting desperately and are willing1 to hold any party between them and the fire. The Democratic party can not afford to shield the brewery, the distillery, and the saloon from the rising wrath of a determined people. Democracy is the nation's hope on political and economic questions?let it not, by taking sides with the liquor interests, repel those who put moral issues first. The young men of the country are Democratic by nature, but they will not submit their claims to political preferment to those who conspire against the home and evei?v thing good?neither will they find pot house politicians congenial pa?*ty associates. The president has set a high standard in intelligence aim morals, and the party cannot afford to lower the colors to gain a temporary advantage. Those whose support depends upon subservience to the liquor interests are a disgrace to the party while they are with it, and then leave it if it refuses to obey them They are a millstone about the party's neck. The Democratic party is the party of the future?it has a chance to enter the Promised Land?why allow the liquor interests to lead it away into the wilderness? (let ready for the fight.

How easy it is to mix up the average business man was demonstratt u the other day when the son of a local merchant leaned against his father": knee and innocently asked: "Daddy, is today tomorrow?" "No, my son, of course today isn't tomorrow," answered the father, according to the I.ouisville Times. "But you said it was,"continued the son. "When did I ever say today was to morrow?" "Yesterday," answered the son, "Well, it was; today was tomorrow yesterday, but today is today, just a? yesterday was today yesterday, but Is yesterday today and tomorrow will be today tomorrow, which makes today yesterday and tomorrow all at once.
