tton-JO. D. Smith, President of
Stat? Cotton Association Sick.
Columbia, Nov. 20.-In the ab
sence of E. D. Smith, of tho Cotton
Association who hu? been ill at a
hospital In Florence for six week?
and who it IB feared will never be a
well man again, Secretary F. H. Web
ton, of the South Carolina Cotton
Association, Nationnl Committeeman
W. W. Hay and Treasurer F. H.
Hyatt, of the State organization, to
day gave out a joint statement on
the present cotton situation, setting
forth among other things that the
weak cotton and weak-kneed men
having been disposed of there ls eve
ry n ason to believe that with the re
sumption of normal financial condi
tions /the price will rapidly rise and
ArVgTiiBg the farmers to hold for the
mlnliftium price of 15 cent?, fixed by
both ?the cotton associations. The
Ktateilit nt follows:
To Itb.e People of South Carolina:
On acYcount of tho fact that E. D.
Smith! president of the South Caro
lina dilvlsion of the Southern Cotton
Association, has been desperately ill
in the] hospital at Florence for six
weeks,Ino address has gone forth on
behalf pf the association on the sub
ject of jj he sit nui ion of cotton.
At tme meeting of the executive
com mit nee of both the Southern Cot
ton Association and the Farmer*'
Union, itho minimum "price of lo
centsvwd* fixed and published broad
cast throughout the South. At that
time lt was estimated that the . cot
ton crop would reach twelve mil
lion bales; ?Ince that tithe nothing
has cocurred'to chango the estimate;
but both from Individual sources and
from the government, it seems that
this estimate of twelve million lisles
was extromely liberal-every indi
cation points to ii crop of about elev
en and om; half million bales.
We have kept' a close watch dur
ing the financial panic of any disas
ter that would materially curtail the
consumption of cotton; lt can be ?aid
that there [has taknn place nothing
^lnce September 1, which would les
son thc deashnd for cotton. We have
passed through a very stringent mo
ney markot! which, of course, affect
ed the prices of everything in Amer
ica. But wa believe that conditions
are rapidly assuming their normal
proportion^-New York having re
sumed its shipment of currency
throughput the country.
We firmly believe that those who
have had confidence In their fellow
nfian and financial ability to with
hold their cotton from the market
will yet receive the minimum price
ftjced by the association. In every
community there are farmers who
have disposed of their cotton, and
whoso disposition I? to Inugh at the
fellow who has held; but the old
proverb of "?le who laughs gest
laughs last" will again be exempli
fied.
Now, that the weak cotton and
weak-kneed mei\ have been disposed
of, we confidently expect, under the
resumption of normal financial con
ditions, that the (price of cotton will
rapidly advance; ?for ?i. ?lauds to rea

Miere is more catarrh in tills sec

and by constantly falling to curr.'
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. . Science luis proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease,

Some remarkable stories are being
told about towu aud among the coun

This mixture, v rites one authority
I In a leading Philadelphia newspaper,

kidneys; cleansing the clogged-up
pores of tho eliminative tissues, forc
ing the kidneys to sift and strain
from the blood the urlc^icld and oth
er poisonous waste matter, overcom
