arc to be bitterly fought
b) the spinners during the next
three months. At the meeting
above referred to foreign spinners
were ad\is< d t<? buy no more cotton
fo, if') days except in such
cases where the- raw mnteiial was
absolute!) neeiled. 1 he effort
will he made to depress the cotton
market here by reducing the
demand tot the taw material as
far as possible in order to break
down the present movement of
the farmers to demand fair prices
for their staple. The present plan
of the foreign spinners, it now
appears, is to crush the Southern
Cotton Association and its efforts
at the opening of the fail season
and force the farmers to sacrifice
their cotton on a depressed market
brought about by combination and
4 f
uuntn <w acnon among ilic spinners
and " bear" speculators.
Kvery imaginable device known
to human ingenuity will be
brought to bear to depress prices
during the next four months.
A^SOl 1A I I ON IO I IX l'KICi:.
The Southern Cotton Association
will meet at Asheville, X. C.,
September 6th, and .it that time
will lix a minimum price on the
present crop which will be fair and
just t'> both the producers and
spinners, based upon a carefully
piepared report up to August -15th
and the estimated percentage of
yield, .is compared with 1^04.
When this minimum pi ice for spot
cotton is fixed by the representatives
of the different States on
September 6th at Asheville, every
l^rndlirer r?f rnltnn i.t >l>"
.,. w ?v, . VI VVWVVII 111 II1L w)UUUl
will be called upon to stand by the
action of the Association and
force the consuming world to pay
a fair price for the staple. There
will be no surplus of raw cotton
from the crop of 1904. What is
left over unconsumcd on September
1st will be only a small reserve
stock. The mills arc now consuming
270,000 bales per week, and
the demand for cotton goods is
enormous at high pi ices. The
farmers are in good financial shape
to protect their staple and if
money is needed Southern bankers
arc amply able and quite willing
t<> linance the situation.
Ml > r sTANI) I IKM.
The producers have just won a
not ah'-c victory in the face of the
largest cr?>p ever produced in this
country and by concert of action
forced prices up from six cents in
January to ten cents on
July 3rd, encountering each day
the most intense opposition.
The present crop indicates a
short yield compared with 1904,
while the consumption of cotton
will go forward unabated for the
next eighteen months. Present
prices for spot cotton are not
high. They represent only a small
profit to the producers.
if the fight must come it will
he forced by the spinners and will
be met by determined and effective
opposition on the part of the
producers. The crop of 1905
mibt not bo sacrificed. Let every
inan measure up to the highest
standard of Southern manhood
and do his full fluty The
Mills havo g.?t to have our cotton,
and if they want to stop buying
at prrsent prices we can -.top selling
and see whose corn crib and
smoke-house will 1 ist the longest.
On the eve of the < risis which
threatens the South the Southern
press is earnestly called upon to
gubli:hthi? article and contnietii 1
upon the saute editorially. The I
fat mors all over the South are ra- '
pidly organizing and tho Association
lias no fear of the final outcome
in the struggle which
lies just ahead
Very respectfully,

Conditions in Cherokee.
A Well Informed Witness Gives
Interesting Testimony.
(f rom the Yorkvillc Enquirer.)
1 have received so many inquiries
from Yorkvillc and vicinity in 1
regard to the whisky situation
here since we have gotten rid of
the " G. M. I." in Cherokee that '
|
I have concluded to ask yon for
tinman io answer a lew |'
of the questions which have been !'
propounded. j1
The situation here is such a 1
vast improvement upon the con- !
ditions which prevailed prior to '
the voting out of the dispensary '
th.it I scarcely know where to be- '
gin. In the first place the consumption
of whiskey has decreas- i
ed in this county at least 90 per
cent since the closing of the dispensary.
Von might ask how do
I know this? Simply from the ]
fact that I have not seen a man
under the inilucncc of whiskey in (
two months, and that I have not
seen half a dozen drunk men since
last November, when we got rid of 1
the " G. M. I.'Trior tolast November,
we had mayor's Court often
two or three times a week, and no
every Monday morning there was
a regular matinee of drunks and
disorderly, since then we never
have Court except on Mondays,
and it is frequently the case that wc
have no M onday's session, indeed
for three weeks at a time wc had *
110 session of the mayor's Court. 1
The day before Christmas of 1903, j
I saw at the least calculation one
hundred people, staggering drunk 1
on the streets of Gaffncy, the day
before Christmas of 1904, there ^
were equally as many people here
as in 1093 an(l I did not sec a sin- j 1
gle drunk man. The dispensary j
was situated diagonally across the
street from my office and I have
time and again seen people go
there and spend their money for
whiskey whose children were without
proper clothing, and in some
cases without food.
The circumstances of at least
half a dozen families (whom I have
in mind) have vastly improved
since the dispensary has closed.
In my opinion the dispensary is
a manufacturer of drunkards. I
am told that there are numbers of
individuals in the town of Yorkville,
and in York County who
are drinking whiskey to excess
who \v?rc never known to drink
before. If this i9 a fact isn't that
enough within itself to condemn
it in the mind of every sane man
or woman?
My observation has been that
the more convenient you have
whiskey more of it will he drunk.
To illustrate: Sam Jones who is
not a drinking man to any extent,
only takes a drink occasionally,
comec to town; walking by the
?aiv UIOL/Vlisai V 11<J ictin 11KC (1
drink, he walks in and buys a bottle.
Now, if some had to go to
the trouble of hunting up a blind
tiger he would do without. Speak
ing of blind tigers there is decidedly
less blind tiger whiskey sold
here than before, and the reason
for it is because when a man was
arrested for handling he could
dodge behind the dispensary and
say he went thcic and bought it
for accommodation, but now with
no dispensary to hide behind almost
every ease is convicted and
tho tigers have gone so deep into
their lairs that it is seldom we
hear of them.
1 have It straight on unciuestionable
authority that the shipments
of whiskey td Gaflhey ore
loss than one-fourth of what they
were just after the closing of the
dispensary and I am in a position
to know that the larger part of
the whiskey that is shipped here
is brought to people who did not
patronize the dispensary. I
sincerely hope, Mr Editor, that
the people of York County will
riso up in their might and vote
out this greatest evil with which
they have ever had to contend. 1
am fairly convinced that if \vc had
to vote on the question again that
we would vote it out 20 to I.

Headache
When your head aches, there
i e o et/\r?n in ?1,n I
A%J U OIVUII in HIV IIVI WUO ojr otcm,
centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stomach
causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss of
memory, inflammation, epilepsy,
fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills.
They stop the pain by soothing,
strengthening and reliev- ,
ing the tension upon the nerves ,
?not by paralyzing their., as i
do most headache remedies.
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills do
not contain opium, morphine,
chloral,cocaine or similar drugs.
