GAMBLER AND GROWER-WHIOH
WINS?
Speaking about brazen robbery:
Spot cotton declined 30 points, or
.$1.06 a bale, in New York 011 Monday?or
about twenty-one and a half
million dollars on a crop of 13,000,000
bales.
What was I lie reason given?
"Because the equinoctial storm
did not do much damage!" That
comes pretty near being the limit of
audacity.
According to the logic of this excuse,
for the two weeks preceding the
autumnal equinox, the price of colIon
should have advanced, in anticipation
of (he dreaded storm. Hut instead
of advancing, the speculators
steadily and consistently depressed
cotton during tliait period. They forced
down the market price about $0.50
a bale.
1 he 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 flvo
points. And on Monday, when the
ftform passed without dnmagqf, the
depression was 30 points more.
That is a fair sample of the method
of dealings in New York. There
was as much need for raw cotton on
Monday ns 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 everv yard ot cloth that is woven,
"i ot, 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
highway robbery; the only difference
is that the farmers have not. got to
stand and deliver. If all of them will
have the nerve to quietly wit and wait
for 20 days they will see cotton climb
back about $8 a bale.
But to accomplish that great result
the growers must stand together,
from one end of the cotton belt to
the other. And merchants and
bankers, and business men generally,
should dissuade the 'small fanner
from turning loose his little crop;
and, if possible, help him to hold it !
for a short wnile. Kvery bale marketed
now weakens the south. This is the
crucial test; the next few weeks will
determine whether the gambler or
the grower shall win.?The Stale. !
The above is the line taken hv The
Herald and News some ten days a,o
and we take pleasure in copying il
in this connection and in endorsing
the position of the State.
As we stated in a former issue of
The llerald and Xews, we are glad
to see the papers like the Columbia
State and the Atlanta Journal taking
the position which is taken in the
above in regard to the tight which
is now on between the cotton grower
and the money center. As we see it,
there is absolutely no reason for the
decline in the price of cotton except
that it is an effort of the gamblers
in the great staph* product of the
southern farmer to whip him in the
light, which he has been making'
through the two organizations of the
farmers for a living price for his
.staple crop.
\\ e would he glad to see not a bale
of cotton put on the market for twenty
days, and we believe that the Stale
correct when it says that if this
were done, "cotton would climb
back $8 a bale.'' In order to accomplish
this, however, it is absolutely
necessary that the fanners should
ft and together. They have the key
to the situation, but it requires united
effort. We are very anxious that-thcy
should win in this fight.
The state colleges are full. That is
well, but there is nothing remarkable
about it. If there were free grocery
stores or free dry goods stores
open they would bo full also. Tho
state qannot possibly accommodate
everybody who wants a good thing.?
Newberry Observer.
Yet many people seem to think that
there is something remarkable about
it, are troubled about so many being
turned away and demand that accommodation
he made for all which
would mean drawing away the patronage
of other colleges. It is a
great mistake to suppose that the
applicants who are turned away are
denied an education. They simply go
to other colleges, where they get as
good or better education and have the
.satisfaction of knowing that nobody
was taxed to pay for it.?Chester
Lantern. rj
The tuition amounts to a very small
matter in any of our colleges. In
view of the very small number of
thoso who attend our stato schools
being able to pay the tuition we have s
about come to the conclusion that it (
would be best to abolish tuition char- j
ges and at the same time abolish j
all scholarships. Say to the young i
man who desired to attend the stato t
school, here it is, we furnish you the l
school and the tuition but you must (
do the rest. ^
These free scholarships and this ,
farce at charging tuition, both, are ,(
resulting in too many parents ccrti- f
fying to what is not true in order to <
save a few dollars. And what about ,
the influence on the boy who knows ,
that his parent has saved the small )
amount of tuition by false statement. ,
The same is true to large extent at s
Winthrop. ?
The free? tuition in the slate col- (
leges has no effect on the denomina- .
tional schools. We once thought it ,
did but when Winthrop and Clemson ']
were established the deinoninalionnl 0
and private colleges had more pupils .
than before. There is an awakening v
for higher education but it should not s
be given free. I
,
Well, well, t'he engagement of Zac'a ?
McOhee?the original and only Zach j.
?Iias been announced. There is yet jj
hope for Ed. Norimnt and Ed. 1)c- j
ramp. - Kdg?He-d Advertiser.
The above is respectfully and genl- s
ly referred to Mrs. DeCamp. I

In tlie death of Mr. I). A. Smith, of
the Iveowee Courier, t'he press of this
slate has lost one of ils oldest and j
most highly honored members. In
his early life he was a printer on the ^
Press and Manner, along with Mr.
Hugh Wilson, the veteran editor of ^
that paper.
According to I'he Press and Banner .
Mr. Wilson is now I he only printer,
who is living, who was connected
with the Press and Banner at the
time Mr. Smith was.
Mr. Smith, in addition to his con- ^
neetion with the newspaper business,
had been 'honored by the people of
his county in the election of probate
judge, and held that position at the
time of his death. ^

The Herald and News is very much
gratified that the movement looking
to the establishment of a hospital in
Newberry is meeting with such j
hearty response from the people. 11
ought to he a very easy matter for
the committee with the assistance
I and co-operation of the twenty-nine
physicians in tliis county to raise the j
! necessary amount for the erection of ^
lithe hospital. According to the notice
I of the committee published in another j
part of this paper a subscription I
has been furnished to each physician,
laud if he will take t'he interest in it, i
| which he ought, it will lake hut very j
little stock from each one to raise the ,
necessary amount.
This is a very important movement (
and the people of Newberry county
j cannot afford to let it fail, and the
time to do the work is now. j

(SOUTHERN IS NOT RETALIATING 0
I r . 1
Washington, September '2-1.?Prcsij
dent Kinley, of the Southern Railway, f
today issued a statement as to the
I reasons for the recent stoppage of j
construction work and reductions in ,|
shop forces, in which lie said: I,
"In some quarters it has been repj
resented that work has been slopped v
and forces reduced as a measure of j |
retaliation against adverse state leg-j j,
islaiion. In no case has this been
truc\ This company has not been n
governed, in any ease, by any but
sound business considerations; such
as must govern a railway as well as 1,
every business enterprise. Current
railway income is insullicient to pro- |
vide funds for improvements and bet- (1
tenncnls. These can only be provided
for now, as in the past, by oh- |
taining new capital. Present financial ,1
conditions and the present attitude v
of investors toward railroad securities
are such that it is imposihlc for ^
the moment to sell railroad securities
on a basis that any business con- f
oei'n, managed in accordance wlith f
sound business principles, would bo
justified in accepting. It has, therefore,
been necessary to postpone many c
important projects for improvement, j
Only those will be pushed to com- i
plot ion at this time on which work d
has progressed so far that the pub- v
lie and the railway can receive the f
benefit of their completion at an ear- ||
i ly date. Other projects have not been ,i
abandoned, but will be carried out n
I just as soon as conditions are such a
.that the necessary capital can be so- n
' cured."
