? The Farmer's Union says measures
Which bid i'air to almost revolutionize
the present methods of exporting the
cotton crop to the foreign mills and]
spinners were recommended and
heartily endorsed by the Farmers'
Union National Convention Commit
tee, composed of one man from each
cotton State, which met at Memphis,
Tenn.. August 10. To every member
of the union will be sent an agree
ment for him to sign and forward ft
the local secretary of the union pledg
ing his-individual support in a direct
marketing of the present cotton crop.
The committee strongly advocat
ed shipping direct to the foreign j
mills and spinners, which 'they claim-j
ed could easily be accomplished by
f urniehihg the same business advant
ages as the heavy exporter now gi\*es;
to the*mills. The Union' warehouses'
wbjch have been establishedth'rp?gn-'
Out the .Sjouth were the first step in .
this direction and the output 'through
these warehouses will be disposed of
by the cotton committee./''T-h^'grow
ers have been asked to. pledgeHhelr
cotton to them and the sales '/will be
approtioned among the vStates : 'ac
cording to the amount pledged.
This co-orperation. which . The
Sun says has practically been pledge
ed by every member, of the Union,
means that the market will not be
overfed and the market prices will
no longer be controlled by the specu
lators, and competition among sellers
will be done away with. -.This.would
be a long step In the right direction
if it can he ??eeesefully carried* out.
ft would not only put the speculator.:
out of business, but would save mil
lions of dollars to the men who make

Of Much Silverware and Many Other
Articles!
Burglars are again at work in this
city, and it is about time that some of
the light-fingered gentry are run
down and punished. On last Satur
day afternoon or night the residence
K. Sease on Glover Street
jwas entered by robbers and much
j silverware and other things carried
off. From an examiation of . he pre
mises, it seems as though the burglars
(entered from a window as the glass
was broken therefrom, in.the rear of
? the house.
I For sometime the family of Mr.
Sease has been up in the mountains
jand he was home only at night. When
jhe went home on Saturday night he
found that his house had been entered
and many valuable pieces of silver and
.other articles had been carried off.
I From the appearance of things the!
j robbers seemed to have made sir]
j thorough search for valuables, as:
everything was in a terribly mixed lip j
state. Upon examination Mr. Sease I
found that silverware and other j
things had been taken to the amount!
of six hundred dollars or more. He
Immediately notified the police, who
are now investigating' the robbery;
and we nope they will succeed in run
ning down the robbers.
It is ot known exactly when the
thieves entered the house, but it is j
said that the colored cook, who visit
ed the house every day to look after j
the plants, noticed when she visited j
the house at four o'clock on Saturday i
afternon that t window at the rear j
of the house seemed to be broken j
open, and from this it is believed that j
the house was entered during the
day. The robbers may have been
In the house when the cook was in
the yard and verandas.
Not only were the most valuable
pieces of silverware takem. but a
number of articles of clothing is
missing, and the wardrobes and j1
jureaus were ransacked, and! the con- 1
:ents scattered about on the floor. It
s also stated that there may be ccr- i
tain of the jewelry belonging to- Mrs. ,
5ease which may be msssiing. but ,
ivhich Mr, Sease cannot state posi- i
:ively at present. Some ornaments .
were broken and scattered al*>ut, .
which showed that the robbers were |
deliberate in their action. Other- ?
wise they would have hardly taken ,
;ime to break' up things that could |
possibly do them no good. ? i
There is a mystery surrounding j
this .bold robbery, and the ques
tion is who did it? All of the doors ,
to the house were found locked, and \
with the exception of theM>ack door. (
the.keys were all in the3 locks on the ]
inside. There was jio Jieys to the
back door, but it .^s^iocked. So
the robbers must have entered the <
tiousc through the window that was
found broken in the rear of the
house.

HOLD YOUR COTTON.
THIS IS THE ADVICE OF MIS. R
HARRIS.
j President of the South Carolina Far
j nars L?ion to the Fanner* WJu
Make the C'otlon.
Why is it that cotton has not reach
[ed the minimum price set, 10 cents'
! Is it too Jate? I answer. No. What
then, is the cause of its being down'
The producer alone is to blame. H<
is ready at all times to listen to sJ
[he hears about the bear side of tot
jtou. but fails to look into the true
: situation and the- condition of th<
[crop. He docs not realize that eottoi
Iis now scarcer than it has been ir
: twenty-live years, 'while the de thane
is just as great, when; we consider tin
[supply of raw material. It. must be
; remembered that last -'ear's crop wat
short more' than four million bales
in view of this we can wuich no othei
conclusion but that the produce* him
self is io blame lor our not reaching
the minimum before this.. He has be
come 1'rigMened, at this IHuff of the
bear element, the spinnen* and specu
lator, and lias taken their assertions
as facts.
Their first bluff was the:mills' run
ning on short, rime. It was. necessary
for them to da? this, as it was impos
sible for them t'o secure saw ma-turial
to run on. Last .voar's short crop
forced them to curtail, not their, pro
duction but their consumption. Cot
ton was not to> be had. They nvsf.
bluffed you in making you believo'Chat
they could not sell their goods-,, and
frightened you: again. While- tlm;,r
have goods stored'in their own'ware
houses, the commission : houses in;
New York and otner centers have-less,
oods than they have bad in years.Nor
until the entire surplus is constitut
ed in these centers will the goods bei
taken from the local warehouses.
I want to impress upon the farm
ers that now is the time to hold your
old cotton, as well as your new. If
cotton is held off of the market
throughout the South for the- next:
sixty sixty days the brokers and;
speculators will be compelled to givt
the price in order to fill contracts
iold to the spinners head. You-can
Jo this by putting your notion. Im
bonded warehouses and borrowing
money on it. Money:fit now plentiful!
for legitimate purposes.
The continental mills are short of
r:otton and there fs a demand for ac
tual cotton from this souroe. while
the offerings are'small. It is getting
harder every day to buy cottoni for
prompt shipment. The supply in the
American mills is not sufficient for
twenty days, if that long. The New
England mills will soon have to buy
otton or close down. They have been
buying from hand to mouth lor the
last three months. I know of one
undred bales of cotton sold last week
by oue mil; Fifty bales of this week
to a mill that was closed: down, while
the 'other fifty went to another mill'..
These two mills had to have this cot
ton to begin work with on the ifth
lost. All the mills which have been
closed down resumed operations last
Monday. From this we assume that
trade conditions must be getting bet
ter. I hear from.good authority that
all the mills in this section will soon
begin operating on full time, rt is
understood that a number of mills
have sold their output ahead for ser
r-ral months. All together the situa
tion in milling circles is not as bad
as it Is ?< reported to be. Generally
throughout the country the milts
would be running on full time If they
could get cotton to spin.
Now, as to the condition of the
growing crop. We hear it stated from
rhe bear side that we will make four
teen million bales tbts year, and that
cotton will decline to eight cents.
This is another great big bluff, and
it will frighten,, sonic producers. It
is my honest belief, based upon the
information at my hand, that the crop
of last , year .will not more than be
duplicated.'' >\notlie.r..sho^tafce like
last year will product)one 1 of the
biggest cotton panics that the world
has ever known, and the tails of our
shirts will have to be made shorter
to give every man a shirt.
Crop conditions in South Carolina
are not what they were two weeks ago.
The crop Ts fully 2H per cent. off.
This is due to too much rain in June
aud early in July, followed by exces
sive heat. It is impossible now for
the -plant ever to recuperate and
make a top crop.
In Texas reports say thai the crop
has been damaged in sections by too
much rain, which in other sections
he crop has been cut off considerably
by drought and the devastation of
the boll weevil. Texas cannot produce
anything approaching what is consid
ered a full crop
Alabama and Mississippi both re
port 'too much rain, followed by ex
cessively hot weather, producing rust,
black rot and shedding.
Georgia reports thirty counties af
fected with black rot. which is dam
aging the crop no little. Orher sec
tions report caterpillars, too much
rain, followed by excessive heat. Cot
ton has deteriorated wonderfully in
j the last ten dav s.
The other cotton bell States report
Conditions just as bad; In view 01
'this Information, it is the heighi oi
j folly for the producer and holder ol
spots to become frightened and sell
The Farmers' Union Is in n positioi

The Crop Now Be?arg Marketed is Not
luJiTg*-.
The price now being paid for col
ton is entirely too low in view of the
size' qTthe croo;. *bich Is not plan
ning .wit as was expected sometime
ago. In the last month the crop has
fallen off'at least .twenty per cent.
The Farmers Union estimates the
crop at Tl.noOvOOO bales.. We believe
this is a fair estimate. The-Farmers
Union andv Secretary Hester, of the
New prle?tKy^,. Cotton Exchange, are
not v?ry^f?&\spart in their estimates.
Secretary Hester's estimate is 11,571,
000 bales, being only seventy-one
thousand more than the estimate of
the Farmer's Union.
The estimate of the Agricultural
Department of the ^United States
?government is 13.500,000 bales which
is' very near the crop of last year,
-which was 13,510,982 bales. Here
we have three estimates. One made
by the delegates from all over the
cotton belt to the convention of the
Farmer's Union, which met last week
at Fort Worth, Texas, one from Sec
retary Hester, Secretary Of the New
(Orleans Cotton Exchange, and one
from the National Agricultural De
partment. The two first estimates al
most agree, while the last makes th?*
crop 2.000.000 bales larger than the
first two.
Now which is right? We would
Irather trust the figures of tin- Farru
ler's Union and Secretary Hester than
those of the Agricultural Department.
I because it has been caught falsifying
(the figures once, and we do not trust.
I them now. If the crop is only 11.
? 500.000 bales our farmers arc not re
i reiving near what their cotton is
i worth and what it will sell for later
If it is nor rushed on the market. The
? last crop was over 13,500.000 bales
land yet the surplus is not large. So
|if the present crop is two million
j bales less than the crop of last year,
lit ought to at least sell for as good
ja price, which was far in excess of
I present quotations.
