Harvie Jordan and Higher
Prices
What the Leader of the Cotton
Growers Has Accomplished.
Manalaoturers' Record.
Harvie Jordan, standing in the
great convention, helil in New
Orleans, outlined a plan and car
ried tho convention in its favor
despite great oppi aition, say into
the South: "If you will but
hold your cotton you will sell it
in July at 10 cents a pound instead
of 5 cents, and the 5 cents
is inevitable if you do not follow
this policy." It was a daring preI
diction and a daring undertaking,
^ but in a time so brief that tew
realized what could bo accomplished
Mr. Jordan and his associates
had organized a Southern
Cotton. Association and had rallied
tlio planters, large and small,
from Carolina lo Texas around
him and stemmed the tide and
forced the world to pay the South
a reasonable price. It is within
bounds to say that that work sav
ed not less than $50,000,000 to
the cotton planters of the Southern
States.
This year the bears returned
with renewed energy to tli ir eflort
to break down prices. The
leading hear operators in New
York have Hooded the countr>
with the reports of a crop far
larger than any conservative investigator
believed possible. Hut
more than that, they have staked
their all upon the belief that Jordon
could not hold the cotton
growers together. Over ?ml nut.?
I hey have proclaimed that while
if might be true that the Southj
ern Cotton Association helped to
save I lie South Irom 5-eent cot
ton last, year, it. was not possible
lo induce the growers to stand
tope!her while -they had tiie
chance of selling at !) or 10 cents
n/,n r. . I W1U.
< |i\iu >u. it nun ;i iew iiionuiB
ago tin' Asheville meeting ol the
executive committee of the Cotton
Association announced a policy
ot 11 cents as a minimum it
was ridiculed, and with the persistency
with which the bears
have ever attacked the South's
great staple thev again sought to
V break down the organization ol
Southern growers. The result
since thai meeting culminating
in the situation as it has develop
ed today pioves the wisdom of
Jordan's position and justities the
effort which he has recently made
to induce the growers to hold
hack the balance ot their crop lor
15 cents per pound.
It is worse than folly for the
cotton consumer South, North or
in Europe to decry the effort oi
the planter to got highest possi
hie price lor his staple. No one
is complaining toda> hccau o the

Alcoholic Medicines Again

and Postpones Enforcement

W ash i 11 iz ton ?The mi m mis
sioner of internal revenue, .John
W. Yerkes, some time a::o l e
gan an investiga'ion concerning
alcoholic compounds label d
as medicines and held out to
i he public as remedies for dis
eases, and the result of the examination
was given yesterday
in a circular to collectors. It
follows :
uOn September 12, Circular
No. 673 was issued from this
office, concerning alcoholic com
pounds advertised and sold us
medic nes under various names,
some of which were composed
chieily of distilled spirits or
mixtures thereof, without the
addition oi drugs or medicinal
ingredients in suilicient quantity
to change materially the
character of the alcoholic liquor.
44In that circular it was stat
ed that because these preparations
were held out to the public
as medicines would not. afford
ground for relieving their manufactures
from special taxes as
rectifiers and wholesale liquor
dea'ers, and would not relieve
the retail dealers therein Irom
special tax as retail liquor deal
ers under the provisions of the
Federal statutes.
"It was further stated that
this oflice would, by analysis
ma?!e in the chemical laboratory
here, of these various compounds
determine whether time
manufacturing and handling
them would b ' liab e to iho
special tax named.
"Further, that until such
analysis were made and conC
1 II 8 i O 11 S 1*. nrliml h?r I io
oflice, druggists and inoichants
selling these compounds in goo
taith a> medic lies only would
not be affected by the n< \v rul
ing until December 1. Before
that date it was the purpose of
tlie ollico to make public announcement
of tho various pre
partitions found by an ilysis to
be within the terms of the rul
ing of September 12.
"By reason ol llie care given
in matting analysis of these
compounds the ollice has been
unable to complete the examina
tion of all such compounds now
upon the market. However
it has made analysis of the
following preparation-, and fiu<is
that they are within the terms
of the ruling of September 12:
A (.wood's La (Jiippe Specific,
Cuban dingeric, HeWitt's Stomach
Hitters, Dr. Houvier's Huchu
din, Dr. Fowler's Meat snd
Va t, Wnisky, dilherl's Rejuvenating
Iron and Heib Juice,
lies etter's Stomach Hitters,
Kudros, He run a, Hock an 'y
0<uChire.
'Since the ruling was made,
manufacturers of preparation^
referred to in that ruling and
wholesalo druggists and retail
druggists handling tliem have
demons' i ated that 1 ugo lo ses
would occur to them if the
ruling was made efFectivo on
December 1 They have stated
in good faith and under rules
heretofore controlling they have
purchased these compounds in
large quantities, h?ve them in
stock, and that it would be im ,
possible to dispose of tliera by J
the date originally determined. <
"After careful consideration
of this phase of the case, and to
protect those who in .eood faith
have engaged in the sale of
these preparations, this office
has determined to make the
order elective as against manufacturers
on January 1, 1906, in
stead of December 1, 1905, said
date, January 1, 1906, beinic the
beginning of the third quarter
of the fiscal year.
"With regard to all handling
these preparations as retail
dealers both druggists and other
merchants, the order will be
made effective April I, 1906,
the beginning of the last quarter
of the current fiscal year.
"This office will continue to'
make analysis of other prep-?ra j
tions similar >o those already j
examine I. and will announce!
from time to time the conciu ;
sions reached.
"Until public notice is given
as to other preparations than
those above named, ma ufac
turers, druggists, and others
handling these preparations
will not be haid liable for s;>e
cial tax for other articles than
those s?'t forth her in, provided
that the compounds are sold in
good faith as medicine."

Notice.
To the overseers of the Publio
Roads of Lancaster County.
I again ask you all to warn out
your hands and work each of your
sections of the publio roads, as many
days as the law requires or until you
get yeur road in good condition. I
want to find that each section of road
in the county is worked good bef*veeu
this and the last day of November.
As you all know you can't do much
good working the clay roads during
the winter months.
I 'I'llf vmnH inrv holil o ???????# *??.? ?
r? J"' J ----- ? \JLI
! the Urst. Monday in September last
and requested me to give notice to all
of the overseers to put four days'
work on each section of road by the
llrst Monday in Oct. and for eaoh of
you to make a report to me that day
And I did so, but many of you failed
I to work or to make any report. 80 I
1 kindly ask you all to read the report
of the grand jury at the last term of
| the court. You will see by that report
that they want to have the roads
worked better than they have ever
| been in the past, or have the law en|
forced against any one who fails to
discharge his duty. Let every one
j do his duty, and the law will not be
[enforced against any one. but other
wise, they say it imiHt be done,
'lake due notice therefore and govern
yourself accordingly.
