BOUNTIFUL CROP YEAR
SAYS REPORT FROM S. C.
Optimistic Expressions Come
from All Sections to the
State Commissioner
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.!
COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 8.—So-uth
Carolina is to enjoy one of the most
prosperous years in her history if the
reports of the bountiful crops and the
optimistic expressions from all parts of
the state, are to belied upon. E. J. Wat
son. the commissioner of agriculture is
certain the Palmetto state is going to
reap a gTeat harvest and that business
will exceed that of many years past. In
this opinion he Is seconded by experts
from all parts of the state.
With one of the best cotton crops in
her history which it is believed will be
close to 1„500,000 bales just second to
the record, breaking crop of 1911, with
the Fee-Dee and low country section
having exceeded all past records both in
the quantiy, quality and price obtained
for their tobacco crop, with more and a
•better corn crop than, probably, ever
teiore, witlj truck, grain, and cover crops
xceeding any previous years the mer-
hants and banking men as well as the
farmers and everyone else are wearing
broad smiles and preparing for a fall
which is expected to bread all records.
While the states of the west are cry
ing short cotton crops, South Carolina is
looking forward to a record breaker both
jn quanity, quality and price. But this
is not the best, say they who know.
Diversified farming, the work of the
demonstration agents of the Federal
government, tomato clubs among the
girls, more corn and grain aad more
cover crops have so fixed the farmers
with borne grown products as to make
the cotton crop almost a surplus to tnem
putting the great mass of the farming
class in independent- shape with money
in the banksTwid with store houses full
and prosperity abounding on every hand.
THINKS FARMERS SHOULD
• LEAD FIGHT ON WEEVIL
ALBANY, Ga., Sept. 8.—That the
leading farmers of this section should
take the lead in the movement to pre
pare for the coming of the boll weevil
next year, rather than permit the busi
ness men and trade organizations to
take the initiative is the opinion of
Mayor H. A. Tarver of this city, who
says he intend* to work up a move
ment among the big farmers of this
section along this line.
"It is all right for the chamber of
commerce to take part in this move
ment,” says the mayor, “but I do not
think it is right for the organization
to spend a large sum of money to bring
experts here, hold meetings and other
wise conduct a systematic campaign
of preparation for the coming of -ae
pest, as is now being planned, unless
the farmers themselves take an active
interest in the movement and contrib
ute largely to the necessary expenses.
The farmers are the ones directly in
terested in the coming of the boll wee
vil, and though we are all more or less
indirectly interested, the farmers, it
seems to me, should take the lead in
the movement. That being the case,
the business men, chamber Sf com
merce and like organizations could
lend valuable assistance, and the cam
paign would, be more effective.”
TRIED TO ATTACH FOR
DEBT METEOR OF CLOUDS
(By Associated Press.)
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 8.—While
effort to attach a “meteor” in settlement
of a debt has gone for naught.
Prof. Charles W. Brown, of the de
partment of geology of Brown universi
ty, yesterday examined the so-called
meteor which recently fell into the Tiver
ton river and which was hauled out by
A. L. Carr, a Tiverton fisherman. He
acted on behalf of a creditor of Carr’s,
who had heard that the meteor was
worth several thousand dollars and de
sired to attach It.
Prof. Browm pronounced It a worthless
piece of slag.

TRAINMEN ARRESTED
FOR NEW HAVEN WRECK
Engineer and Flagman Held
Criminally Responsible for
Disaster
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8.—Con-
the interstate commerce commission pur
sued its investigation into the fatal
New Haven wreck of last Tuesday Cor
oner Mix reported to the police today
that there had been wholesale robberies
from the bodies in the wreck’s debris.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Those bibu-
ing of th efederal investigation into the
New Haven' railroad wreck, Commis
sioner McChord ordered General Mana
ger Bardo, of the New Haven road, to
produce the minutes of all meetings of
the New Haven directors since the
Bridgeport wreck on July 12, 1911.
These would show, he said, what action
would be taken “toward the betterment
of safety conditions.”
Engineer Wands, of the ill-fated Bar
Harbor express, startled the crowd
when he testified that the engineers on
the New Haven road frequently
“drifted by” danger signals in foggy
weather.
John C. Kelly, train dispatcher, pre
viously had testified that weather con
ditions on the morning of the wreck
were “very foggy,” but that he had not
considered it necessary to warn trains
to reduce speed. Six trains passed
over this stretch of track within half
an hour, he said.
The White Mountain express made
the fastest time, the sheet showing an
average of fifty-two miles an hour
just before it crashed into the Bar
Harbor train.
“Did any of the trains have any in
formation from you as to how close
they were together?” asked Chief in
spector Belnap.
“No. I didn’t think they needed it,”
replied the dispatcher.
With Engineer A. B. Miller and
Flagman C. H. Murray under ar
rest and accused by Coroner Mix
of crominal responsibility for the
fatal North Haven wreck on the
New Haven railroad last Tuesday,
Commissioner McChord, of the inter
state commerce commission, began a
public investigation today to deter
mine the causes of the disaster.
Flagman Murray still was in jail
this morning, but it was announced
that the $5,000 bail would be furnished
by the New Haven road today. This
was by order of President Howard El
liott, of the railroad. Engineer Mil
ler is at liberty under a $5,000 bond,
furnished by the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers.
Both Miller and Murray, whose sto
ries as to the causes for the wreck do
not agreed, it w r as said, were called as
witnesses today before Commissioner
McChord.
The “private” investigation of the
coroner, begun yesterday and which
lasted until midnight last night, cul
minating in the arrest of the two train
men, was continued today, again under
police protection.
“I do not expect to finish with my
witnesses until some time next week,”
said the coroner this morning. “Then
my findings will be made public.”^
Schley Howard Puls
Negro Barbers Out
Of Nation's Capitol
BY RALPH SMITH;.
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Sept. 8.—An
TOKIO, Sept. 8.—The Japanese pre-
gressman Schley Howard is credited
with having led the successful fight in
last night’s Democratic caucus against
the employment of negro barbers in
house wing of the capitol. This means
that twelve darkies, who have received
$100 a month each, will give way to as
many white barbers.
FINES FOR “DRUNKS” GO
TO COPS IN WASHINGTON
(By Associated fress.)
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 8.—Harry Orch-
lously inclined persons who plan a
“flin” when on a visit to another city,
had better remain away from the na
tional capital or revise their plan of
diversion. It developed today that all
the fines rnecovered In police court for
violation of the new excise law are be
ing applied to the payment of pensions
for members of the police and fire de
partments of the District of Columbia.
As a result the activity of the police
has occasioned pleased comment by
certain enthusiasts and bitter abjurga-
tion by others.
“It’s come to pass now where a
man doesn’t dare even to hiccough in
public,” said a man with a red nose, as
he left the city hall*today.
Since July 1, when the law became ef
fective, the pension fund has been swol
len by $9,000, and the prospects are that
all pensions to the families of members
of both branches of the service will be
paid promptly hereafter. They have been
in arrears.
SHOOTINGS REPORTED;
JAPS AT FEVER HEAT
mier left for Nikko today to report to
the emperor the shooting of a number
of Japanese subjects during fighting be
tween Chinese government troops and
southern rebels in Nanking. In his con
ferences with his majesty, the premier
will decide as to the course of action to
be taken by the Japanese govern
ment.
Public feeling in Japan is at a fever
point. Some of the newspapers demand
military action and urge the occupation
of a Chinese seaport by the Japanese
jntil full reparation has been made.
BOTTLE OF BEER COST
WORKMAN TEN BUCKS
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-—One bottle
of beer, taken with his lunch, cost Ed
ward McCormick just $10 although for
years he had been accustomed to drink
ing his beer at the same time and
place on every working day.
McCormick was the victim of the new
excise law. Employed by a brewery, he,
i n company with his fellow workman,
had eaten their noon day meal on a
platform that abuts on the street be
yond the building line. He was quietl>
devouring the last of a flagrant frank
furter sandwich and raised .his bottit
to his lips when he was arersted for dis
turbing the peace in violation of the
law. He was taken to police court. He
paid.

MEXIG ENVOY SEEKS
LOAN FROAA U. S.
Huerta’s Ambassador Is in
Washington Conferring for
Solution of Difficulties
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Manuel de
Zamacona Ex Inclan, former Mexican
ambassador to the United States and
until recently financial agent for the
Mexican government in London, will en
deavor to carry forward in Washington
the negotiations between the Huerta ad
ministration and the United States for
a solution of the revolutionary problem.
Senor Zamacona comes primarily to con
tinue the negotiations begun with John
Lind, but his ultimate object is to ob
tain for the Mexican government the
loan which the United States declared
in its second note it would encourage
American bankers to float, if the Hu
erta government accepted the chief
American proposals.
The administration here was sounded
out as to the mission of Senor Zama
cona, but had not given answer when
the envoy started from Vera Cruz yes
terday.
There seemed to be little doubt today
in official circles that the Washington
administration would receive Senor
Zamacona under certain conditions, as
he is well known here and regarded as
one of the ablest of Mexicans. •
Senor Zamacona’s affiliations, howev
er, have been with the financial, instead
of the .diplomatic, side of the Mexican
government. Some of the constitutional
ists in Washington look upon him as
the agent of the “Cientiflco” or financial
group, that for a long time ruled Mexi
co’s affaifs.
As he has been so little a participant
in Mexico politics, because of his long
absence abroad, others are inclined to
regard him as of a non-partisan dispo
sition.
His coming produced an optimistic ef
fect in official circles. The offer of en
couragement for a loan to Mexico had
been conditioned on acceptance of
Washington’s proposals. IJuerta’s ap
parent decision to send Zamacona before
word was received from Washington,
was taken to mean today that the Huer
ta government had, in effect, accepted
the American stipulation that Huerta
should not be a candidate for re-elec
tion.
Though there is no assurance on rec
ord positively excluding Huerta from
the presidential contest, the Washing
ton government is taking it for franted
that he will not run and is likely to
encourage a loan under conditions that
will further the effort to bring about
a constitutional election and cessation
of hostilities. The White House has
taken the position also with respect to
the loan, that if Mexico accepted the
American proposals for the establish
ment of peace it was incumbent upon
the United States in return to assist
in Mexico’s financial rehabilitation.

PANAMA CANAL TO BE
CROSSED BY PONTOON
(By Associated Press.)
PANAMA, Sept. 8.—After considering
several plans., to permit the crossing of
the Panama canal when water is ad
mitted to the Culebra cut and the pres
ent trestle is abandoned, Colonel George
W. Goethels, chairman of the Panama

With its approaches it is estimated that
the pontoon will cost $113,000.

Will Be Held November 7 to
15, and Premium List Comes
Out September 15
The Augusta Poultry association has
announced to the poultrymen of Atlanta
and the country generally that another
big show will be held in Augusta, the
dates being November 7 to 14, and the
occasion being the annual Georgia-
Carolina fair.
The Augusta association lays claim
to putting on the premier show of the
south, and it is generally admitted
among poultrymen that the Augusta
shows have gone far towards justify
ing the claim. The Augusta show was
the first in the = country to adopt the
plan of paying all premiums before the
show closed, and it has not failed a
single time since the first show several
years ago.
The premium list for the Augusta
show now is in the hands of the printer
and will be issued on September 14. The
asociation claims that It has the best
line of cups and cash specials ever of
fered by a poultry organization in the
country, not even excepting the big
shows in Madison Square Garden.
The show will be held in a large build
ing on the fair grounds especially built
for poultry shows. Empire exhibition
coops will be used throughout the show,
and each bird will be cooped spearately.
The breed of the birds and the names of
their exhibitors will be printed on the
coops, a custom inaugurated by the Au
gusta show and indorsed by the judges
and the exhibitors, and which renders
the show much more interesting to the
spectators.
The officers of the Augusta association
are Dr. C. Cleckley, president; M.
C. Jones, vice president; R, S. Guess,
secretary; H. W. Gameron, assistant
secretary, and Dr. G. W. Woodbury,
treasurer.
The association expects the poultry
industry of Atlanta and vicinity to be
represented at the Augusta show by
many fine birds.
COMMITTEE STRIKES
DUTY ON WOOD PULP
All Retaliatory Features
Agai.ns’t Canada Removed
From Proposed Tariff
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—The coun
tervailing duty on wood pulp, proposed
by the tariff bill, was stricken out by
the finance committee, which presented
a amendment to that effect today, and
all retaliatory features against Canada
were removed.
Senator Smoot said he would vote for
the amendment, but predicted that it
would not be many years when the great
pulp manufacturing business would be
transferred to Canada.
“The only result will be that the prof
its will go to Canadian manufacturers,”
said Mr. Smoot. “I want to take this
opportunity to congratulate Mr. John
Norris, of the American Newspaper
Publishers’ association, in this success
ful culmination of his long fight. Tie
can go back to New York tonight and
report success.”
Senator Hughes in a statement relat
ing to the retaliations against Canada
on pulp wobd, said:
“All the burdens of these retaliations
must be borne by American newspaper
publishers, who in 1912 paid indirectly
a penalty of more than $3,000,000 in ad
dition to the amount of retaliatory du
ties paid directly. This indirect tax
was due to the uniform and agreed and
artificial prices which the combination
of the American paper makers has con
tinuously maintained.
“No print paper can be bought in the
open * market. American mills will not
sell news print paper unless they know
the destination of the paper, the pur
pose for which it is to be used, and the
name o fthe buyer. They starve the
market by restricting production, as is
shown by their monthly reports to the
bureau of corporations. They have
kept down the stock of paper on hand at
the mills to an eight-day supply for all
the newspapers of the country.

Mammoth Skeleton
Of Tricoralops Is
Exhumed in Maine
ORRS ISLAND, Maine* Sept. 6.—The
petrified skeleton of a mammoth pre
historic mammal has been uncovered, it
is believed, at Grant Island.
In digging for a well on his farm,
here, Theodore lBullard, a nephew of
President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot, of
Harvard, found what is believed to be
a mammal skull, a mass weighing 500
pounds, in a subentrance to the cave.
Investigation showed other parts of the
same supposed body.
Souvenir hunters removed some of
these but Mr. Bullard has guarded the
remainder pending examination by sci
entists. Dr. Marshall P. Cram, profes
sor of geology at Bowdoin college, is
to look over the find today. Mr. Bullard
is of the opinion that it is the skeleton
of a triceratops, described as a huge
three-horned monster, twenty-five feet
long and ten feet high, having twice
the bulk of an elephant.
GOV. O'NEAL EXPECTED TO
Reported- He. Will Issue Soon
Hot Reply to Attack of His
Opponent
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 8.y-Gov-
ernor O’Neal gathered his political ad
visers together Friday ahd discussed
with them the issuance of a reply to
Congressman R. P. Hobson’s charge that
he appointed Henry D. Clayton United
States senator as the successor of
Joseph F. Johnston because he was
commanded to do so by Charles Lewis,
sai to be managing director of the Ala
bama forces of the Wholesale Liquor
Dealers’ association .
Conferences were held and the atack
of Hobson was discussed, but no state*-
ment was given out.
Friends of Governor O’Neal were caus
tic in their criticism of Congressman
Hobson when they read his reply to
Governor O’Neal statement issud last
month. Congressman Hobson charged
that “the milk in the cocoanut is that
in the whole controversy the governor
was carrying out the orders of his mas
ters, the masters to whom he sold him
self and to whom he has tried so con
stantly to sell our bleeding state.”
This statement is regarded as the
most caustic reference ever made to a
governor of Alabama. Another state
ment which may bring an interesting re
tort from Governor O’Neal Is Hobson’s
answer to charges that he had been ab
sent from roll call in congress enough
to be considered guilty of neglect of
duty. “True, I am not a chronic roll
caller, a seat warmer, a cloakroom
lounger, boozing around the capitol, tell
ing smutty jokes,” said Congressman
Hobson. “I say to the governor or any
other man who deliberately makes this
charge: ‘Produce your proof.’ ”
Governor O’Neal’s reply may not be
issued for several days, but it will
come. It is understood it will be short
and will be only in reply to Congress
man Hobson's against the executive.
PASS TARIFF BILL
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Although
the ways are greased and the slim Dent*-
ocratic majority is working with tre
mendous zeal to force its passage tomor
row night, it is privately admitted that
the administration tariff bill hangs by a
slender thread in the United States sen
ate. The persistency of a rumor re
specting Senator Newlands’ inclination
to bolt his party, the loss of a Demo
cratic senator from the state of Ala
bama, and the certainty that the Lou
isiana senators are off the reservation
for keeps, coupled With the belief that
the Progressive and Republicans will
harmonize at the last moment, have
added to the worries of the Democratic
leadership.
Senator Hughes, of New Jersey, was
at the White House early this morning
for a conference with President Wil
son about the tariff situation. He
echoed the general desire of the Demo
crats to hasten the passage of the bill,
and press it to a vote tomorrow night,
but expressed a fear that unforseen de
velopments might delay ‘the final test.
The situation is so uncomfortable for
the Democrats that a movement is being
considered seriously to have the house
accept all senate amendments to the bill
in the conference rather than chance a
second test in the senate. It is not
known whether Leader Underwood and
the house conferees will be willing to
yield everything as an original proposi
tion, but in the interest of safety this
may be possible.
Democrats in the senate are apprehen
sive not only as to the attitude of New
lands, but also as to the possibility of
an eleventh-hour eruption from Senator
LaFollette, militant Progressive leader.
LaFollette has not been much in action
at this session, and it is expected that
he has been holding off until the last
night to spring his oratorical pyrotech
nics. . The Wisconsin senator is credited
With saying that just now the public
is giving little heed to the tariff, and
that senatorial oratory is therefore,
wasted.
“But wait until the bill is placed oif
its final passage, then the country will
take notice and a speech will attract
attention,” he is quoted as having said.
DIDN’T KNOW
WHATTO DO
Pitiful State in Which Mrs.
May Found Herself, and
How She Escaped
OPP, Ala.—In a letter from this town,
Mrs. Carrie May writes as follows:
“About two months after I married I
began to have very bad weak spells
and terrible headaches. I felt miserable
all the time, and soon got to where I
couldn’t hardly stay up. After the
third month I got down completely.
I was young, had never been sick be
fore, and I just didn’t know what to
do. I thought I would die.
My husband, at last, got me a bottle
of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and it
helped me so, he got another bottle.
When I had taken the second bottle I
was well.
I wish that every woman, suffering
from womanly trouble, would give
Cardui a trial. It’s is the best medicine
on earth for womanly weakness.”
Are you weak, tireti, worn-out? Do
you suffer from any of the pains pe
culiar to weak woman? If so, take
Cardui.
As a remedy for women’s ills, Cardui
has been most successful. It is purely
vegetable, composed of ingredients
which have been found to build up
the vitality and strengthen the woman
ly constitution, as well as to prevent
or relieve those terrible pains from
which weak- women suffer.
Cardui is worth trying. Judging
from the experience of a million other
women who have been benefited by this
remedy, it should surely do you good.

BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—It was defi
nitely stated today that William F.
McCombs, acting chairman of the na
tional Democratic committee, would not
accept President Wilson’s offer to make
him ambasador to France. Mr. Mc
Combs has had the tender under consid
eration for nearly six months, and has
experienced much difficulty in making
up his mind. At times he let it be known
that he would accept and at others has
declared that he was too poor to ac
cept. His declination is now said to be
final.
Coupled with the foregoing statement,
was the report that Governor Cox, of
Ohio, had succeeded in inducing the ad
ministration to keep Ambassador Her
rick at his post in Paris until next year.
Governor Cox wants to be re-elected
governor of the Buckeye state and the
only rival whom he fears is Herrick,
and he thinks he can cinch re-election
if Herrick is kept out of the state dur

TWO BOY BANDITS ROB
WASHINGTON CLUBMAN
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Mounted
and bicycle policemen searched the
woods in the vicinity of the Washing
ton Suburban club until daylight to
day, in a vain effort to capture two bold
boy bandits who held up and robbed
Milton Baum, a business rnan and club
member.
The lads, one armed with a revolver
and the other with a dirk, wore' red
bandanna handkerchiefs over their faces
after the fashion made popular in yel
low novels.
The presence of mounted policemen
within few yards of the 6pot where they
effected the holdup did not appear to
frighten the young bandits who robbed
Baum of his mbney, jewerly and other
valuables and quietly disappeared into
the woods.
