Speaking about brazen robbery: Spot cotton declined 30 points, or $1.66 a bale, in New York on Mon xay-or about twenty-one and a half million dollars on a crop of 13,000, 000 bales. What was the reason given? "Because the equinoetial storm did not do much damage!" That comes pretty near being the limit of audacity. According to the logic of this ex euse, for the two weeks preceding the autumnal equinox, the price of cot ton should have advanced, in antici pation of the dreaded storm. But in stead of advancing, the speculators steadily and consistently depressed < cotton during that period. They fore ed down the market price about $6.50 a bale. The day before the equinox, when storm signals were displayed along the gulf coast, what happened in New York? By every rule of argument and consistency cotton should have advanced; but it went down five I points. And on Monday, when .the storm passed without damag, the depression was 30 points more. That is a fair sample of the meth od of dealings in New York. There was as much need for raw cotton on Monday as on Saturday. All that there is will not be sufficient to meet the world's demands. The mills throughout the world are running on full time; there is an assured market for every yard of cloth that is woven. Yet, because much cotton was not destroyed, the speculators use that as a pretext to hammer the price still lower. That method is little better than t highway robbery; the only difference is that the farmers have not got to stand and deliver. If all of them will h Aave the nerve to quietly sit and wait for 20. days they will see cotton elimb back about $8 a bale. But to accomplish that great result the growers must stand together, from one end of the eatton belt to the other. And merehants and' a bankers, and business men generally, t should dissuade thie small farmer ] h.. from turning loose his little crop; I and, if possible, help him to hold it < for a short while. Every bale market- t ed now weakens the south. This is the a crucial test; the next few weeks will I deftermine :whether the gambler or the grower shall win.-The State. It The aboye is the li.ne taken by The ( Herald and News some ten days a,o 1 and we take pleasure in copying it ~ in this connection and in endorsing ~ the position of the State. As we stated in a former issue of l1 .The Herald and News, we are glad I to see the papers like the Columbia State and the Atlanta Journal taking :~ 'the positidn which is taken in the j above in regard to the fight which t is now on between the cotton grower and the money center. As we see it,j S there is absolutely no reason for the: decline in the price of cotton ex s-- eept that it is an effort of the gamblers d in the great staple product of the t, southern farmer to whip him in 'the r fight, whieh he has been makig e through the two organizations of the s farmers for a living price for his staple crop.r We would be glad to see not a bale a of cotton put on the market for twen- r ty days, and we believe that the State is -s correct when it says that if this* t: were done, "cotton would climb g back $8 a bale.'' In order to accom- s * plish this, however, it is absolutely a necessary that1the farmers should e stand together. They have the key r to the situation, but it requires united v effort. We are very anxious thatIthey ti -- should win in this fight. e t: The state colleges are full. That is c rwell, but thiere is nothing remark- o able about it. If there were free gro- ti cery stores or free dry goods stores tl open they would be full also. The ti state sannot possibly accommodate e everybody who wants a good thing.- s, Newberry Observer. ji tYet many people seem to think that fi t,aetroubled about so many being C turned away and demand that ac-p commnodation be. made for all which h would mean drawing away the pat- li ronage of other colleges. It is a b great mistake to suppose that the l' applicants who are turned away are a denied an education. They simply go j to other colleges, where they get as t satisfaction of knowing that nobody was taxed to pay for it.-Chester Lantern. The tuition amounts to a very small matter in any of our colleges. In view of the very small number of those who attend our state schools being able to pay the tuition we have %bout come to the conclusion that it would be best to abolish tuition char ,es and at the same time abolish all scholarships. Say to the young nan who desired to attend the state chool, here it is, we furnish you the ;chool and the tuition but you must 10 the rest. These free scholarships and this Farce at charging tuition, both, are esulting in too many parents certi ying to what is not true in order to ,ave a few dollars. And what about -he influence on the boy who knows ,hat his parent has saved the small imount of tuition by false statement. The same is true to large extent at Minthrop. The free tuition in the state col eges has no effect on the denomina ;ional schools. We once thought it lid but when Winthrop and Clemson vere established the demoninational tnd private colleges had more pupils ;han before. There is an awakening or higher education but it should not >e given free. Well, well, the engagement of Zach fcGhee-the original and only Zach -hA4- been announced. There is yet upe for Ed. Norment and Ed. De .amp.- Edgefiel.1 Advertiser. The above is respectfully at 3 gent y referred to Mrs. DeCamp. In the death of M D. A. Smith, of he Keowee Courier, the press of this tate has lost one of its oldest and nest highly honored members. In tis early life he was a printer on the "ress and Banner, along with Mr. 3ugh Wilson, the veteran editor of hat paper. According to the Press and Banner &r. Wilson is now the only printer, Vho is living, who was connected vi-th the Press and Banner at the ime Mr. Smith was. Mr. Smith, in addition to his con ection with the newspaper business, iad been honored by the people of is county in the election of probate udge, and held thist position at the ime of his death. The Herald and News is very much satified that the movement looking o the establishment of a hospital in fewberry is meeting with such eart~y response from the people. It ught to be a very easy matter for he committee with the assistance .nd co-operation of the twenrty-nine hysicians in this county to raise the ecessary amount .for the erection of he hospital. According to the notice f the committee published in another art of this paper a subseription j: as been furnished to each physician, nd if he.will take the interest in it, hich he ought, it will take bumt very it-tle stock from each one to raise the tecessary amount.. This is a very important movement nd the people of Newberry county annot afford to let it fail, and the ime to do the work is now. OUTWERN IS NOT EE~TALIATING Washington, September 24.-Presi ent Finley, of the Southern Railway, day issued a statement as to the easons for the recent stoppage of onstruction work and reductions in Eop forces, in which he said:) "In some quarters it has been rep esented that work has been stoppe-d , nd forces reduced as a measure of etaliation against adverse state leg lation. In no case has this been rue\ This company has not been overned, in any case, by any but 1 ound business considerations; such s must govern a railway as well as 1 very business enterprise. 'Current ailway income is insufficient to pro- 1 ide funds for improvements and bet arments. These can only be provid d for now, as in the past, by ob ining new capital. Present financial onditions and the present attitude f investors toward railroad seenri Les are such that it is imposible for Eie moment to sell railroad securi Les on a basis that any business con erin, managed in accordance wiith sund business principles, would be~ istified in accepting. It has, there re, been necessary to postpone many portant projects for improvement. nly those will be pushed to com- i letion at this time 'on which work< as progressed so far that the pub- x e and the railway can receive the< enefit of their completion at an ear- I r date. Other projects have not hoen andoned. but will be carried out ist as soon as conditions are such it the necessary capital can be se ied."

M The usual opening, which is held t semi-annually by the several millinery : establishments in Newberry, took i; place yesterday. Everything seemed to conspire to make it one of the o most delightful openings in the his- - tory of these opening days in New- s berry.
