SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST TAYLOR
Sraniteville Merchant is Taken to
Augusta?Death of M'Cullough
?Shot on Sidewalk by Unknown
Man Who Alighted
From Hack.
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.

JESUS CARRANZA
AND SON KILLED
Relatives of Former First Chief Put
to Death by Grasping Turn Coat
Laredo, Texas, Feb. 1.-?Gen. Jesus
Carranza, his son, Abelardo, and

were executed by Gen. Santibanez,

went over to Gen. 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

Santibanez, formerly a general in
the federal army, later joined the
Carranza forces, finally leaving them
and attaching himself to Zapata's
command.

LEVER SAYS HIS ACT I
HAS HELPED COTTON
Tells Congressmen He Feels Pardonable
Pride in Cotton Futures Act
Washington, January 31.?Last
spring Congress passed an Act
for regulating the cotton exchanges |
of the country. 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

this Act is working in the interest of
the cotton producer and is at this
moment adding from $25,000,000 to
$35,000,000 to the value of his crop

CARS LOADED WITH COTTON
PASS THROUGH CLIO
Clio, Feb. 1.?The first through
train from Hamlet, N. C., to Charles- !
ton by way of the Carolina Atlantic i
& Western, passed here at 8 o'clock I
Saturday morning, this first being a 1
cotton train for the most pari and
was pulled by two of the new engines
of the line. At McColl the train
picked up 11 cars of cotton from C.
E. Exum, and here they got eight
cars from Charles Manning, both
buyers representing W. Gordon McCabe,
Charleston. When the train
left here it had a string of 41> cars.
Much of the cotton stored in the
warehouses here had been sold on i
the recent rises in the market and
the outlook for brighter prospects are
manifest for in the near future.

THE DEMOCRATS AND WHISKEY
Secretary Bryan and The Commoner.
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.
Hundreds of health articles appeal
in newspapers and magazines, and
in practically every one of them th?
'importance of keeping the bowels
regular is emphasized. A constipatec
condition invites disease. A depend'
able physic that acts without inconvenience
of griping is found in Fol
cy Cathartic Tablets. Sold by al
dealers everywhere.
Here's a Tangle.
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.
Now run along and play," and the
father collapsed into his chair with a
sigh of relief.
