We are in receipt of (lie premium
list of the Tri-County Fair at Batesbur'?,
including tlie counties of Lexington,
Saluda and Aiken. The fair
will be held from Monday, October
14, to Friday, October 18, inclusive.
An elaborate catalogue of eighty
pages has been issued and the management
warrants a first class lair.
FARMER SAFE, IF HE HOLDS
FIRM.
Evidence is accumulating of the
conspiracy to make the southern farmer
part with his cotton for less than
it is worth. The plot IhiMcens every
day. The effect of the manipulations
of the cotton gamblers has already
been seen in the depressed price of
futures?figures which it lies within
the power of the cotton "rower to
make absolutely meaningless.
Now comes one of the greatest
known cotton hears, Theodore II.
Price, who has circulated hy mail a
signed card which presents strong
evidence of another prospective hear
raid?if the fanners will submit to
raiding. Here is what Mr. Price says
in his circular, which seems to be a
.sort of preparation for his expected
'fI told you so," later on in the
game:
While I have estimated the American
crop at 12,500,000 hales, T think
it quite possible it may he 13,500,000
or more, and, in that case with Die
manifest contraction in trade, T shall
not he surprised to see cotton sell at
8 cents a pounds or lower. It is because
I venture the suggestion of
this possibility at a time when nearly
everyone is bullish that I ask those
who receive this card, to preserve it,
that if I am wrong it may he a matter
of record.
What a tempting bit of bait to lure

This circular appears to have been
ingeniously distributed in the rural
districts, among the growers of cotton,
no doubt in the hope they will
swallow the hook, sinker and all.
The Farmers' Union, when it met
in Little Iiock and fixed the minimum
price of cotton at If) cents, knew just
as much about the situation as Mr.
Price, and perhaps a little bit more.
That minimum was not based on
the world's supply alone; it was
based upon the world's increased demand
!
With a supply of cotton practically
the same as that of Inst season, and
a known demand of far greater proportions,
it is unquestioned that cotton

Mr. Price cannot hope to cajole the
farmers inlo selling by juggling witli
the supply figures and dealing ii:
generalities about the "manifest
contraction in trade," when several
million new spindles are 'waiting
hungry for the staple.
The southern cotton grower is the
master of the cotton situation. The
man who holds the raw cotton and
who refuses to give it up until lit
receives his prico will continue to occupy
the role of dictator. No powei
can overthrow him so long as he
stands firm. He is the colossus oi
the cotton world.
I lis effort to secure a just and equitable
price for his property is rijrlil
and reasonable. Tn bis fight to profed
the product of his foil, he has
wilh insignificant exception, the sympathy
of the whole world. If he
yields, if he. is intimidated or bullied
or coerced into relinquishing his property;
if he agrees to accept for it ?n
lower price than its worth, he lias only
himself to blame.

informed that Mr. George W. Summer
as chairman of the committee on
transportation from our Chamber of
Commerce, has already taken this
matter up and is in communication
with the proper authorities, looking
to securing this road via Newberry.
If arrangements can be made with
the C. & W. C. from Spartanburg to
Laurens, thence via the C., N. & L. to
Columbia and the Coast Line to
Charleston, it will give us a through
