Greenville, .July 26.?Cotton manufacturers of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi after a bnef con~ ference and discussion this afternoon by a vote of 2,183,052 spin dies against 100.099 adonted res. lutions that all nulla representee] agreed that production shall bo ro duced during the months of August and September 25 per cent. Conditions aifecting the business at the present time were discussed and an exchange of ideas as to the bost course to pursue in an effort to place things on a bettor footing was had. There is such a wide margin between the price of raw cotton and the selling price of the finished product that many mills have been running at a direct loss for some time. The manufacturers believe the dry goods market should be placed on a more satis., factory basis, and that benefit will result from concerted action. Two Bottles Cured Him.

Too often voters are swayed by some sentiment, or captivated, we may say, by some peculiarity of speech or manner of candidates and they vote for them regardless of their mental or other qualificatonsfor a seat in the house of representatives. Any one who has visited the legislature has seen men of thin character r?n the flnnr The agitation started by the nows-1 papers ought to, and will doubt- J less, result in good. If it does we will have a i"ar better cluss of lawmakers and not so much confusion and petit legislation. If the peo* j pie will only sond their best men , to the legislature they will soon appreciate the fact that it is not at | all necessary to have annual sessions.?Columbia Record.
