E. H. AULL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, Oetober 8, 1907. L11. TE FA RIEW STAND 7R1 It is becoming more and more evi dent every day that the Wall street speculators are exerting every effort to depress the price of cotton, hoping to take advantage of the necessities of the farmers until the crop has been marketed, after which, the spec. ators, of course, would advance the price. From various correspondents throughout the state we learn that lhe New York speculators are flood ing the mails with literature in whieb they talk of a crop of thirteen and a half million bales, with eotton selling before the season is over "at eighl cents or lower!" Every man who is even casually fa miliar with the cotton market knows hat the demand for cotton is strong and steady. The consumption is the greatest in the history of the world, with every indication that the de mand will continue unimpaired. Thf spinners must and will have the cot ton. No one believes sincerely that th4 present crop will be a large one. Witt every reasonable allowance made there is not the slightest chance thal the present crop will be anythinc like the large crop of last year 0: the larger one of the year before That the crop is short in Texas, ani in fact in all the territory west o the Mississippi, is a well establishei fact. We fully reAlize the difficultie which the farmers in some section experience in trying to hold their cot ton, when they have obligations t< meet, but it is only by adhering res olutely to the purpose of the Farm ers' union and of the Southern Cottol association not to sacrifice the crol by hurrying it to market that th, farmers can proect themselves. This is emphaieally a time whei they should be given a;ll the eneour agement possibla in their effort t< combat the Wall street speculator who are trying to force down th price of cotton. Existing condition~ and future prospects justify goo' prices for cotton, and it rests wit! the farmers themselves to say wheti er they will stand firm and secur ithe prices to which they are entitle or be stamrpeded by designing spect lators who are carrying on a can paign of depression. The whole south should unite I support the farmers in their concerl ed efforts to get the prices to whic conditions entitle them. Their resolution will triumph the end.-'Atlanta Journal. The above is so true and so mut to the point that we give it plat here with our endorsement. Thel can be no doubt that this is the tin above all others that have ever con to the cotton growers for themi stand .fim and they are obliged1 'win t'he fight. It would take a vei short time for them to do it if the: was united determination and, cott< was held from the market. The fact that cotton goods are se. ing on a basis of 15 cents cotton, ar no one denies that, should be eviden strong~ enough to convince the cott producers that they should have th price for their cotton and the law su.pply and demand has absolute nothing to do with the depression price. The Farmers Union of this coun issues an address to the farmers as ing then to stand firm and they w win. If they are not going to do ti there is very little good in their orga ization. It has been claimed that t: farmers could never be held togeth and we know it is difficult but ti is a time when their own Salvati< depends upon their standing firm al it is so apparent that interesti mands it that we cannot understa: why they should not stand togeti and demand what is theirs. We desire to direct attention of c cotton growers to the article, whi is printed in another column from t M.anufacturers' Record. It is along the same line that have been writing for the 'ast sevi al weeks, trying to arouse the far ers to a realization of the positi< which they occupy in the commnere :world. If they could only realize ti the cotton growers of the south he a monopoly of the world's supply cotton and that the world must he this cotton and that even a thirt' million bale erop will not be over p: duction, we are satisfied that ti ou bein to calculate what it ec '1.

No other business known to th commercial world could continue ver long on the same business principle adopted by a majority of our farn ers. The merehant, who does not r ceive a reasonable profit over the cos of his goods cannot continue ver long in business. The farmer, hom ever, has managed to get along son way and take for his great stap] crop whatever the speculators ma see fit to offer him regardless < what it cost him to produce it. W are glad that our farmers are wal ing up to the importance of their si uation,. and we hope that they wi realize the vantage ground whi< they hold and demand a reasonab profit on their investment and on the labor. In Gov. Ansel.'s welcome to tl English spinners at Greenville he r ferred to the demand of the cott< growers for ifteen cents for their ec ton and their determination to seen it. The statement was reeived wi applause, the English spinne joining in the applause. Wether th is endorsement from the spinners the demand of the farmers or n we cannot say. WANTS BUINDING INSPECTO: Newberry needs a building inspe tor. The city has got to the poi where this is almost a necessity-i deed it ought to have been attendo to years ago. No building should 1 erected in a city this size until an e pert has examined the plans and gi en his permission after finding th the foundations and walls will safe. This is a matter that ought be looked after by the city coun< without further delay. - Newber Observer. iThe greatest need Newberry 'h now is a itreet and sidewalk inspe tor and then we are sure there won be some work going on in this lir Better streets and sidewalks is t great need of Newberry today. SUSTITUTE STENOGEArHEI NEEDED. The postponement of a term of t court of sessions on aecount of t illness of the official stenograpi can be explained on no other thec than that of a defect in the la While substitute stenographerp que fied for court reporting are none i numerous, it is certain that t1b could be obtained if the law prov ed properly for their compensatis It is suggested that a competent sti ographer regularly engagied in y vate work cannot afford to aban<l FOL TO] SOur enormous stock eness.

Judges, Visolicitors, lawyers, litigants, jurors s and witnesses go to the court house at the sacrifice of time, business and the cost of travelling, and if the t court is not held, the aggregate loss Y reaches a large sum. More to be de - plored and more to be avoided is the e general dislocation of the law's ma e chinery. The whole county suffers Y when there is no jail delivery at the If sessions coart, when accused per e sons are denied speedy trials and the - orderly procedure of the enforcement of the laws is disturbed.

The state is divided into ten jukli- t eial circuits, each with a judge, pro- C secuting attorney and stenographer. I The latter official being a necessary part of the court's machinery, some s way to provide a substitute for him e in case of his temporary disability v should be devised. To do this should a not be especially difficult or expen- C sive. The legislature might create substitute court stenographers, two of whom would be sufficient to take I the places of regulars when they are j ill. Their salaries might be fixed at i half that of the regulars, and their 4 acceptance should be conditioned on their agreement to report at any court in the state when summoned. We suppose that competent men . could be found to accept the offices at $750 a year. With that compen sation assured, they would have no trouble in earning fair livings as tenegraphers by outside work for private parties. In the event that their services were required in the eourts for a time beyond a limit fix ed by .the act, they should receive ad ditional compensation. By this plan the whole eost to the state would be $1,500 a year, and that loss under the present system might be caused by -the postponement of a single court. News and Courier.
