i.HE GROWERS AND SPINNERS. Hoke Smith's Admirable Address Be fore, the International Conference. (From the Atlanta Journal.) Tho speech of Governor Hoke Smith, welcoming the delegates of the International Conference of Cot ton Spinners, was one of the happiest features of the first session, and the Chief Executive was cheered to the echo. The opening sentences of the ad dress, in which tho Governor said, "We are glad you a.a here and will be happy to keep you here as long as we can," caught the crowd and every visitor shouted his approval. The Governor s speech principally dealt with the fact thct the South alone was the cotton mud of the world. *.e said: "Mr. President and Gentlemen of e International Spinners' Assocla on: We welcome you to the center of the cotton growing belt of the United States. We are sure that nothing but good can come from closer relations between cotton spin ners and cotton growers. This sec tion raises 70 per cent of the Hui cot ton that goes to your mills. You could not have prospered without our cotton. Our cotton growers would havo had no market had not your mills prepared the lint cotton for practical use. "We desire you to know our cotton section. In no way can you under stand it BO fully as by traveling through lt, investigating as you go. "The States properly classed as cotton States cover over seven hun dred and fifty thousand square miles', with a soil capable of producing every variety of food stuff. While inhabited by only twenty millions of people they could support a popula tion as dense as that of Holland. If settled as thickly ns the United Kingdom the population of the cot ton States would be over three hun dred millions. "Less than one-fifth of tho land is in cultivation and not more than one half ot that in cultivation it in cot ton. More than half of the land of this cotton section is adapted to the culture of cotton. This the Favored Section. "We ask your attention .to our claim that while cotton may bo grown with partial success in many coun tries of the wond, yet nature has in tended this to be the favored section for the growth of cotton in its per fection. This ls not due to a better knowledge with reference to the cul ture possessed here, but to a combi nation of soil and climatic conditions that exist nowhere else. "With, us only second in import* ance to temperature is the distribu tion of rainfall among the seasons suited regularly to cotton culture. We have two dry,1 and two wet sea sons each year and then a frost that kills the plant and insures a silky, fine staple. "The increased production and use of lint cotton in this section has no parallel. A century ago we exported . thirty-six thousand bales. Thirty five years ago 4,474,000 met the de mands of the market. Last year 13, 500,000 was none too much for the mills of the world. "Last year European mills alone took over 7,500,000 bales o'f South ern cotton. "This section has produced your lint cotton and your machinery has made the finished product leave far behind all fabrics made from cotton's 1 three rivals-wool, flax and silk. "While the use of cotton has been increasing so rapidly throughout the world in spite of the increasing price the world's wool production decreas ed from 1895 to 1905 40 per cent During the same period the world' consumption of lint cotton increased 70 per cent. "The future demand for coUou manufactured goods should Increase even more rapidly. Modem civiltta tion is advancing through the open gates of Asia, and the Isles of the sea. Cotton growers and cotton spinners may join hands to clothe the world. You have a common des tiny. Investigate Capacity. "You can rely with confidence upon our cotton belt to furnish a supply as a permanent proposition to meet you ever increasing demand. We invite you to investigate the capacity of this section to furnish cotton and to cease troubling yourselves about cotton fields In other countries yet to be found. The cotton States are here opening their gateB for your inspec tlon. While the crop this year conceded to be less than the crop of last year, the only question about the quantity offered you during a period of years will be the price you are .ready to pay for it. Careful study khrough scientific schools ls now be ing given to agriculture in this sec tion. "The lands already In cotton -can be made to double their yield and only a limited portion of those capa ble of producing cotton have been yet broken by the plow. But the seien tifie study of agriculture here has taught that our soil and climate can produce many other crops reinunera tlve to the planter besides cotton and cotton oulture is not the noces alty that it was In years gone by The tendency is toward diversified crops, lessening the dependence upon cotton culture.

Lands have increased in value, and labor, fertili sers and supplies of all kinds used by the farmers have increased In cock. A low price one year will mean less cotton next year. A good steady, profitable price will mean steady in crease of production until by the ef forts of the cotton planters and the cotton spinners, the clothing of the world can be made from cotton goods "The cotton planters of this sec tion for a number of years sold their cotton at s hu-vat lon prices. They are ? gratned to know that a tendency to ward more reasonable prices has not lessened the extension of the sale of cotton fabrics. The value of exports of cotton goods from Qreat Britain In 1906 was $330,908,200, an in crease over 1905 of ?22,277,300. "Cotton was relatively higher last year aa compared to former years, yet last year was probably the most lucrative year the spinners have ever had. The cotton planters must know just what cotton you need. They can grow lt for you, but they cannot be expected to grow an excessive crop and have their increased labor rewarded by less pay for a large crop than a small crop would have brought. What Visit Mean?. "Your visit brings the cotton field and the cotton mill close together. It means closer relations and In time direct trade from the railroad station in the cotton field to the cotton mill. "The cotton growers have learned hat they cannot expect to unload their entire crop upon you as soon as it ls gathered. They are rapidly becom ing ablo to sell their cotton through the year. They desire an equal voice with the buyer in fixing the price. "Your visit will give the cotton grower a better conception of how he must prepare his cotton to save waste and meet your needs. This will pro duce an economic result beneficial to both the grower and the spinner. We invite you to study our section and to give your freest opiulons about what you *find and what you want. You win be met with the same cor dial spirit. We wish cordial rela tions and a thorough acquaintance between the men who grow and the men who manufacture the world's greatest staple. And when your time 1B not occupied with the study of business questions we welcome you moat heartily td our homes and to our social customs. We thank you for coming. We greet you most cor dially. The longer you may stay the more pleasure you will give." Nearly Four Billions.

CPAAV \H\,\\\\\\\\M\\\\\\\\B THE STOLEN STATE BONDS. 8upreme Court Declares them Valid in Handa of Innocent Holders. (Columbia Evening Record.) Suit on the bond of State Treasu rer Jennings, and upon the bonds of his two immediate predecessors, Dr. R. W. Timmerman and Dr. W. T. C. Bates, will shortly be instituted by the Attorney General to enforce pay ment of the bonds purloined by for. mer Bond Clerk Zimmerman, and af terward acquired in open market by innocent purchasers. The Supreme Court has declared these bonds valid, and ordered that State Treasurer Jen nings exchange stock certificates for them. Capt. Jennings has refused to make the exchange, and no method of enforcing the Court's order is left but to commence suit. The order was in the form of man damus. It was served upon Capt. Jennings, and by him, upon the ad view of counsel "turned down." The amount to be recovered ls something like ?18.000. The bonds hely by Edward Ehrlich, of this city, who brought the test case, are In the sum of $6,000. Henry E. Jones, of Tampa, Fla., writes: "I can thank God for my pre sent health, due to Foley's Kidney Cure. I tried doctors and all kinds of kidney cures, but nothing did me much good till I took Foley's Kidney Cure. Four bottles cured me, and I have no more pain in my back and shoulders.

Sen cou Fonts, a young Portland lawyer, was sitting lu ibo ?obi? o? the Oregon Hotel when a friend call ed his attention to Senator Tillman, engaged in conversation in the oppo site hall. Fonts Inquired the identity of the ugly personage on the loft,! and when Informed that lt was Sena tor Tillman, merely remarked: "Well, the newspapers certainly have flat tered him highly." Fonts was then taken to Tillman and Introduced, at ter he had wagered a bottle of wine j n gainst the Identity of the person to whom he had referred.. "Senator," said the lawyer, "I have Just lost a bottle of wine on you, but j 1 am willing to pay the price to be permitted to make the acquaintance of a man of whom I have heard so much and for whom I entertain so \ high a regard. I Just IH that you j were not Senator Tillman, because the newspapers have always publish ed the picture of a handsome man and label lt with your name, while I think you must he the homeliest man In the world." For a moment there was a hush, and everybody else present stood aghast at Fonts' audacity. Then a smile rippled across the face of the Eouth Carolina celebrity, i "Well," he pleasantly reiterated, "you are nothing If not frank." "True," admitted Fonts, "and yet I believe your reputation 1B largely built on your frankness.'** "That's right, that's right," ex claimed Senator Tillman, laughingly, "and just to show you that I appre ciate your frankness, I will go and help drink that bottle of wine with you." TELLS HOW TO MIX IT. Directions to Irre par?? Simple, Yet Re markable Home Remedy. A well-known authority on rheu matism gives the readers of u large New York dally paper the following valuable, yet simple and harmless prescription, which any ono can easi ly prepare at home. Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce and compound Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Jax by shaking well In a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He slates that the Ingredients can be obtained from any good prescrip tion pharmacy at small cost, and, be ing of vegetable extraction, are harm less to take This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly tor a few days, 1B said to overcome almost any case of rheu matism. The pain and swelling, If any, diminish with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without Injuring the stomach. While there are many so-called rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will, no uoubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time. Inquiry at the drug stores ot this neighborhood elicits the Information that these drugs are harmless and can be bought separately, or the druggists here will mix the prescrip tion for our readers If asked. surcad Fare to Fair Cut in Half October 28 to November 1 .
