J s ^ The Cotton Association. Elsewhere la the Press and Banner we copy tt various articles in reference to the recent t meeting in Ashevllle of delegates from the Cotton Association In the different states. u The Press and Banner would, if it could, oorrect a very erroneous impression as to the c podtion ol tbe manuiacturcrs in reference to J the price of cotlou. v As we understand, and we think we know whereol we speak, there is no antagonism on ^ the part of the cotton mills toward the farmers. Any stable price that may be. set .on r the staple suits the cotton mills better than c fluctuations. " L The manufacture of cotton cloth has been i reduced to a science. Cotton mill men know ^ exactly the cost of manulacturlng cloth, in .. their different mills, but they cannot, any I ,Ko" onrhndr aIca fpll t hp fnt 11 r A niflr UJU1U bUOU ?UJ vvw^. v.-v, ~ ? ? ket price of either the raw cotlou or tne manufactured product. There are two Houb in the paid of the cotton mill. On one side la the market price oi the raw cotton, and on the other side is tbe price of the manufactured product. If cotton goes up and cloth goeB down, the mill Is In a hole. A sudden rise In cotton Is seldom followed by a great rise in the price ol cloth. It is true that there 1b a blight difference in tbe cost and quality ol the cloth at the different mille. Tbe cost of labor in the mills la about tbe same, but tbe power to run tbe machinery In some mills Is a little cheaper or a little more costly than in others. In some of tbe mills tbe machinery is more modern than In others. The skill In manipulating the machinery may be a little diflerent, and one mill may aB a consequence, make a better sample than others, and some again may make more seconds then others. Tbe difference of cost in each of these instances is the smallest part ol a cent on tbe pound, and makes tbe cost average up nearly tbe same In all tbe mills. Tbe6e differences are Inconsiderable and neither make nor break tbe mill. rf,?- ? mill it hnrf Kr fhn arc-ut 1U C WUUU UJiil *o UUlh Hons in prices of the raw cotton ana la the change In the price ol cloth. When cotton drops ircm 16 cents to 7 or 8 cents the lull) like anybody else, suffers loss In proportion to the stock on hand, it a cotton mill contracts to sell cloth at a specified price when cotton Is at 8 cents and the price of cotton noes higher the mill lostes its picfils t?nd may run for months at a loss. The cotton mills, 11 they could have prices which would vary but little, would preier to pay 11 cents the year round then to pay 16 cents one day and 7 cents another day. in tLe fluctuations they get caught,, and the legitimate business of manufacturing cloth becomes little more than speculation In the price of cotton or gam bile g In the price ol olotb. The great number ol Dew mills that have been built make competition very strong, aDd the great number of new mills bas utilized all the help that Is to be found in the ronntrv. There Is scarcely a mill lu the State whose machinery Is In full operation. 1 Spindles and looms are standing in all ol them. The mosey of a cotton mill 1b made or lost In the office. If cotton is bought it hen the market is in their favor they gel rich. U they buy and the tide is against them, they sufler. The superintendent and the help may be of the best and the most skilful, and the machinery may be the best, but the margin of profit is not enough to overcome the * mistakes or the misfortunes of the office. If there was a fixed price lor the cotton the price of the cloth would be regulated accordingly and our mills would prosper. Any fixed price is saier than ibe sblfllDg figures. The mill people, like the farmers, sometimes think the price of cloth will go up, and they bold it. The price of cloth i6 just as uncertain as the price of cotton, We often hear expressions to the effect that the speculators are against the farmers and strike to put the price down. There never was a greater mistake. Let I'm Get the College. We are pleased that our ptople are awaking to the Importance of securing the Presbyterian College. Let all turn out to the public meeting, which takes place tomorrow e Last week we did Mr. Vlsanska injustice in , saying that be was taking no part In tblB movement. We beg his pardon. He wa*> | away at a summer resort and did not know ol the rare opportunity which presented Itself 1 He Is a leader In tbls movement wblcb may t mean much to Abbeville. He bas been Iden- ( titled wltb all the other enterprises and he will do his whole duty in this Instance. [ Mr. L. W. Ferrln and Mayor J. L. McMillan and others are moving In this matter and 11 ( our people realized the vast Importance ol * having agocd college we know that tbey ^ would be at the meeting. No subscriptions j will be asked. At most it will only be suggested that the town lssue850.000 or $60,300 In bonds at a low rate of Interest to be paid by uk, leaving the principal to be paid by a sue oeedlng generation. That Is to Hay, we canget the college by asking for it. The benefit* will extend to every Individual. In the first place a large number of laborers and mecban- c ice will get Jobs. All tbe real estate here, t about will be increased from twonty to twen- b ry-flve per cent. The trade at the business a houses will be greatly Increased by tbe pree- t enceofl50 to 2C0 students who will spend Irom 8125 ta $250 a year. The 850.000 endow, ment will come to help build up our waste places. Tbe annual visit of tbe friends and relatives of students will be worth much to c i our pec pie. t The bringing to town of a dczen educated t christian gentlemen and their families will give to the old town something of its former , prestige. t Ab the college will practically cost us noth- 0 log and as the benefits and blessings of the Institution are so great it 1b hoped that a unanimous voice may call for 800.000or $60,000 worth of bonds. t t M t a d Petit Jurors for Common I'len.s Court for October Term.

Comity Chairman Regards 11 <ni Minimum att CoiiMervative. Greenville News. Chairman Tindal of the Greenville County Cotton Growers' Association returned yeateiday morning front tbe convention of tbe Southern Cotton Association of Ashevlile. ' He was aceompanlrd by K. Mays Cleveland as lar down as Tryon, the latter drlvlug ' through from that place to his home near Marietta. Mr. Tindal said that he could not tee that J there was anything for blin tu add as to tbe ' work ol the convenilon, except 10 say that ' be lelt It bad acted wisely In fixing tbe mini- ( mum selling limit at 11 cents. There were some, be said, who dlttered with him In 1 this, but he was In f&vur of taking a conservative course, which was more likely to hold the farmers together without unnecessary nressure.and at the same time prove to tbe World and the consumers thai the producer* did not Intend to do anything rash or attempt to make any extrnordlnary demands ou toe manufacturing world. Among those who opposed Mr. Tlndal's views was Mr. Cleveland, the vice-president ot the local association Mr. Cleveland whs working for 12 1-1 cents hb a minimum. He i stood un the principle that in tbe event J ol a 14,000000 bale crop the price would go down to between 6 and 7 cents to the detri I went of the producer than a 9,500,000 bale , yield should entitle him to something belter than 10 or 11 cents, lie Is an enthusiastic worker and brought a great deal of pressure ! to bear on many of the delegates, but tbe men favoring 10 cents with those lor 11 tlnaliy won out in the committee room and the conven* tlon adopted the report ot tbe committee. Chairman Tindal is confident the bulk of tbe farmers will stick. They are In a position to stand pat and be believes there Is every reason to have confidence In tbe ultimate victory of tbe association. It was pointed ojut very Btrongly by thosp j de.egaies wbo wanted a higher limit than 10 cents. Mr. Tindal said that tbe old price j was too low because of changed conditions. Farmers from every part of tbe South declar- 1 ed that It oosta more tban 10 cents to make a , short orop such as that of the present. Some , profit could be iound at 10 cents In a successful season, they said, but It was swallowed up this year lu abandoned fields and sickly plants. An L'nwlae SuifKCHtlou. News and Courier. ^Tbe suggestion that tbe Southern Cotton Urowers Association purcuase uue lumiuu bales of couon and bold it In order to raise the price of ootton seems unfortunate. Ii should have no consideration la the meetings of the Association, the primary and chief end of which should be to bring the glowers ol cotton into easy and prompt communication bo that they can act with Intelligent ooucert In marketing their product. Those who raise strawberries or watermelons should be able to bo work together that tbe market Is not overstocked upon any single day. tilmllar ptlnclplts apply to the cotton growing business. If the whole body of ootion couBurners are ottered at a particular time more cotton than they desire the market uoen to pieces, and 11 Is only tbe expression of common seDse to say that the cotton farmers should have such an understanding that the blunder ol releasing too much of tbe staple In one week or month shall not be committed. When cotton slumped to seven cents and Ie?s it st winter tbe appeal of the Growers' Association to bold was.heard and beeded. The failing tendency was obecked almost Instantly, and tbe result was that when tbe price bounded upward again to ten cents aDd over some millions of bates were still In tbe bands ol tbe growers. Heretofore, bb a rule, when such reactions have taken place tbe buik of tbe cotton bas been in tbe hands of others than farmers. Thus the Association has demonstrated efficiency to lead aud advise wisely. Tbe cotton growers should have a central authority, whose office should be to guide tbem in marketing. Essential to economical control of tbe crop alter It bad been produoed are ware bouses, and tbe Association is directing its eudeavors to tbe best possible advantage when it urges tbe building of tbem. We believe, however, that tbe instant tbe Association undertakes to act In otber than u n nrtvlanrv rAnflftlf.v iL will tn bp nf service. What it accomplishes Is wholly depended upon the Individual wills of the farmers. It cannot possibly muster the host of Southern cotton growers and drill them to move with the unity of a corporation. To our mind an attempt by tbe Association to corner tbe orop would degrade It to tbe level of a mere speculator and the Idea contains little less of folly tban the proposition to burn tbe surplus, which came from a few delirious persons last year. Even tbe mention of tbebe schemes within tbe Association Impairs public confidence In Its usefulness. As a dressing for sores, bruises and burns, Chamberlain's Salve is all that can be desired. It is soothing and healing in its effect. It allays tbe pain of a burn almost instantly. This salve is also a certain cure for chapped hands and diseases of the skin. Price 25c. i For Bale by C. A.
