COTTON CROP SUFFERS.
Considerable Deteifioratinn Shown In
Past Three Weeks Heat Causes
Shedding and Worms Are Active.
Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 13. The
Commercial-Appeal tomorrow will
say:
Deterioattqtn. of a more or less
serious nature in the cotton crop Is
reported from Texas and parts of
Mississippi and Alabama. Elsewhere
the crop has done well with local
exceptions.
The decline in Texas, which has
occurred In central, northern and
western counties, is the result of
excessive heat and two weeks with
out rain following a wet period dur
ing which the plant grew rapidly.
Shedding and worms form the basis
of' the complaints. The heat has re
duced the activities of worms but
Increased the shedding which has
in places been severe. There are
some reports from this State which
say the crop is still holding up and
that the alarm Is overstated.
The trouble in Alabama and Mis
sissippi arises from an excess of
moisture which has made a rank
stalk growth and caused some shed
ding by reason of the rapid grow
ing of the stalk and from worms
which are numerous In some fields.
The disappointment resulting from
this turn Ma affairs has produced a
feeling that perhaps the crop pros
pect has been overestimated.
In the Atlantic States, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma,
tei- has been no serious shedding
and The crop is doing nieely.
Rain is needed only in Texas.
Elsewhere dry warm weather Is de
sirable. 7 ,200 PEOPLE TREATED.

; TvYO VITAL QUESTIONS.
'. -"V:- --r- '
Imporfanf Issues Involved in Proba
bility of President Taft'i Vetcing
Statehood Bill Good Roads to
Be Made a National Issue.
(By Clyde H. Tavenner.)
Special to The Gazette.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 14.
Are the American people competent
to rule? And if they are competent
have they the right under the con
stitution to do so?
Here are two vital questions dl
recently involved In a veto by Presi
dent Taft of the Flood Resolution
granting Statehood to Arizona and
New "Mexico Territories which have
these many years been eligible to
admission as States, but have been
barred out, first, .because certain big
Interests in the Territories desired
it, and second because the Republi
cans feared Arizona would send
Democratic Senators to Congress.
The Impression that the White
House press bureau (Secretary Hll
les, manager) is trying to puj out to
the country la that the. veto was
made necessary by a provision in the
Arizona constitution which estab
lished the recall. This view Is er
roneous. The fact is, both branches
of Congress were careful not to go
on record either for or against the
recall. The resolution simply gives
to the people of Arizona the right of
local self government; the right to
vote on the question of k-ecall, and
to themselves determine whether
they desire the recall.
So the President Is' not vetoing
the recall of Judges when he vetoes
Statehood. What he really Is veto
ing is the right of the people of
Arizona to decide for themselves
the form of Republican government
under which they desire to live.
"You folks rn Arizona are not In
telligent enough to select the form
of government under which you are
to live," is the ultimatum the Pres
ident lays down by vetoing the
Statehood resolution. Mr. Taft
would have his will prevail Instead
of the will of two thirds of the peo
ple of Arizona.
In the haze of scandal that hangs
over the Taft administration the
form of Charles P. Taft. capitalist,
busy multiplying his dollars. Is
plainly discernible. As the curtain
is lifted on each succeeding scene of
scandal the President Is in evfSence,
and around him, shaping his course,
are men who are the acknowleged
agents of those force that are try
ing to shape humanity to the dol
lar. When he was elected he Inspired
In many who are known as "pro
gressive republicans" the belief that
he had made his choice between
public and private Interests. Per
haps he had. But always before
him he must quite naturally see bis
brother and his brother's wealth.
From his nativity, wealth, and its
emblems have been the be-all and
end-all of the son of plutocracy. Yet
he means well. He has a good
heart. His great handicap Is that
he has so many about him who
know exactly what they want, and
to whom the public good is the last
consideration.
Therefore it would seem that It
matters little what large schemes
are promised or prophesied, so long
as Mr. Taft sits in the executive
chair. The President has as little
chatrce to succeed as the executive
of the nation, as a man in any other
walk of life might have if he tried
to serve two masters.
The Republican argument that a
high tariff is needed In this coun
try to maintain "the high American
wage" is shown up as a farce, pure
and simple, by the presence in sev
eral manufacturing communities of
agents of Canadian manufacturers,
who are gathering figures to show
that Canada cannot a ford to have
reciprocity with us for the reason
that Canada cannot compete against
American wages.
The Canadians are beginning to
understand how It Is that the steel
trust can sell steel In Canada for
about half the price charged the
American consumer, and still make
a profit. They are learning that
men work In the steel mills twelve
hours a day, and seven days a week
for a dollar and a half a day, and It
is for the reason that they do not
wish to compete against the cheap
foreign immigrant and negro labor
employed by American trusts that
some of the Canadians are urging
the defeat of reciprocity.
And ' yet the Republican protec
ticnlsts have argued all these years
that the great danger to American
labor was the possibility that It
might have to enter Into competi
tion with the "cheap" labor of oth
er countries. This latest action of
the Canadians knocks the last legs
from under that ancient contention.
Speaker Champ Clark has sound
ed a high not that promises to
throw a nice issue Into the next cam
paign. He is a memr-er of the Lin
coln memorial commission, and In
that capacltythe is advocating the
building of a great highway from
the. national capltol to Gettysburg,
"s the nucleus or a great system of
national roads, built by the govern
ment In co-operation with the
StateTl." The majority of the com
mission favors a marble arch in the
city of , Washington. - which the
Speaker says would form a fine meet
ing place for English sparrows bnt
which would not in any degree fit
In with the practical character of
the great Lincoln. The Speaker has
induced the President to defer ac;
tlon on the memorial until legisla
tion can be passed to permit the
building of the . Lincoln road. He
will then work for the adoption by
the government of a national road
building policy. :

AN ENJOVAnLE
RECEPTION.
Thursday evening the congrega
tion of the Presbyterian church of
Belmont enjoyed a delightful re
ception at the manse, given by the
pastor and his wife, Mr. and Mrs.
Lacy.
The manse, which has recently
been built, to say the least, Is a
modern home in every respect.
This- home always lovely was made
more beautiful on this occasion by
being decorated In 'potted plants and
cut flowers. As the guests arrived
they received a most cord4al wel
come from the pastor and his wife.
Those who stood In the receiving
line were the elders and deacons
and their wives.
The guests were ne& Invited into
the dining room where Miss Sue
Stowe and Miss Margaret Hall very
gracefully presided over the punch
bowl.
Interesting games were then
played on the spacious lawn where
many seats had been provided. Just
before time for the hundred guests'
to say good night, the oldest girls In
each family of the congregation serv
ed delicious cream and cake.
An All-Day Singing.
An all-day singing will be given
at Blacksburg, S. C, on Saturday.
August 19th, under the leadership
of Prof. R. J. W. Moss, of Smyrna,
S. C, the well-known singing teach
er. It Is expected that quite a large
number of people from Gastonla and
vicinity will go. All who wish to go
are requested to be at the railway
station In ample time before train
No. 39 leaves on the above date, so
that reduced rates may be obtained
on a block ticket.
Wlckershany will become a cam
paign Issue by 1912 Is regarded as
practically certain by those who are
looking ahead. Wlckersham has
permitted Taft to be blotted and be
smirched In the Plnchot and other
matters. Wlckersham was on the
side of Balllnger against Plnchot,
just as he is at present against Dr.
Wiley. Developments at the hear
ing before the Stanley steel commit
tee, against the United States Steel
corporation (trust) contain many
fresh evidences that Wlckersham
exemplified the alliance between the
Republican party and the capitalists
and monopolists. The sequence of
all this will be that Taft will . ret
many a whack over" Wlckersham 'rt
shoulder.
1 When the Sherman law was pass
ed legislation was directed toward
the prohibition or destruction .of
monopolistic combinations. '" - Roose
velt, Taft, and Wlckersham have not
the Idea of trust dissolution. They
advocate Instead that the existence
of the trusts be recognized and -legalised,-
but that their greed be
curbed by government regulation.
It remains to be seen' whether the
majority of the people are willing to
confess that the competitive sys
tem ls obsolete: to abandon a sys
tem which affords free "tela for In
dividual enterprise, and to establish
In Its place -4 centralized govern
ment. ;. ' , " ' -
