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

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.

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

TINDAL SAYS FARMERS
SURE TO STAND PAT.
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
