let the farmers stajntd firm
It is becoming more and more evident
every duy 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 apec}ators,
of course, would advance the
price.
From various correspondents
throughout the state we learn that
the New York speculators are flooding
the mails with literature in which
they talk of a crop of thirteen and a
half million bales, with cotton selling
before the season is over "at oight
cents or lower!"
Every man who is even en An ally familiar
with tho cotton market knows
that the demand for cotton ia strong
and steady. Tho consumption is tho
greatest in tho history of tho world,
with every indication that the degaand
will continue unimpaired. Tho
epinners must and will have the cotton.
No one believes sincerely that the
present crop will be a large one. With
every reasonable allowance made,
there is not the slightest chance that
the present crop will be anything
'like the large crop of last year or
the larger one of the year before.
That the crop is short in Texas, and
in fact in all tho territory west of
the Mississippi, is a well established
fact.
We fully realize the difficulties
which the farmers in some sections
experience in trying to hold their cotIon.
when they have obligations to
meet, but it is only by adhering resolutely
to the purpose of the Farmers'
union and of the Southern Cotton
association not (<> sacrifice the crop
by hurrying it to market that the
farmers can pro*cot themselves.
This is emphatically a time when
they should he given all the encouragement
possible in their effort to
combat (he Wall street speculators
who are frying to force down tho
price of cotton. Existing conditions
and future prospects justify good
prices for col ton, and il rests with
Hie farmers themselves to say whether
they will stand firm and secure
the prices to which (hey are entitled
or be stampeded by designing speculators
who are carrying on a campaign
of depression.
The whole south should unite to
support the farmers in their concerted
efforts to get the prices to which
conditions entitle them.
Their resolution will triumph in
the end.?Atlanta Journal.
The above is so true and so much
to |he point that we give il place
here with our endorsement. There
can be no doubt that this is the time
above all others that have ever come
to the cotton growers for them to
stand linn and they are obliged to
win the fight. It would take a very
short time for them ro do it if (here
was united dctcrmination and cotton
was held from the market.
1 he (act that cotton goods are selling
on a basis of l;> cents eoJton, and
no one denies that, should be evidence
strong enough to convince the cotton
producers I lint they should have that
price for their cotton and the law of
supply and demand has absolutely
nothing to do with the depression in
price.
The Fanners Union of this county
issues an address to the farmers asking
then to stand firm and they will
win. If they are not going to do this
there is very little good in their organization.
It has been claimed that the
farmers could never be held together
and we know it is difficult but this
js a time when their own Salvation
depends upon their standing firm and
it is so apparent that interest demands
it that we cannot understand
why they should not stand together
and demand what is theirs.
We desire to direct attention of our
cotton growers to the article, which
is printed in another column from the
Manufacturers' Record.
Tt is along the same line that we
have been writing for the past several
weeks, trying to arouse the farmers
to a realization of the position,
which they occupy in the commercial
world. Tf they could only realize that
the cotton growers of the south have
a monopoly of the world's supply of
cotton and (hat the world must have
this cotton and Hint even a thirteen
million bale crop will not be over produclion,
wo are satisfied that they
would begin to calculate what it cost
them ('? |produce it. ami then would it
add a iva.-ouable jn??fil. and ins trail pe
<?l coming t'? tlit* market ami asking ui':
(lie buyer wnal ho will give them I'or pit
it, would tlx a price and demand that
price. # mc
No other business known to the c.0,
commercial world could continue very so]
long on fhe same business principles an
adopted by a majority of our farm- at
ers. The merchant, who does not receivc
a reasonable. profit over the cost co
of his goods cannot continue very rc.
long in business. The farmer, however,
has managed to get along some ^.0
way and take for his great staple c|,
crop whatever the speculators may wj
see fit to offer him regardless of
what it cost him to produce it. We sol
are glad that our farmers are wak- or<
ing up to the importance of their sit- nj>
nation, and we hope that they will fa
realize the vantage ground which
they hold and demand a reasonable
profit on their investment and on their
labor.
Tn Gov. Ansel's welcome to the
English spinners at Greenville he referred
to the demand of the cotton
growers for fifteen cents for their cotton
and their determination to secure
lit. The statement was received with
j applause, the English spinners (
joining in the applause. Wether thij ^
is endorsement from the spinners in
j the demand of the farmers or not ^

WANTS BUILDING INSPECTOR, j
Newberry needs a building inspec- | ^
tor. Tire city has got to the point j
where this is almost a necessity?in-j^-'1
deed it ought to have been attended i
to years ago. No building should be '
erected in a city this size until an ex- |
port has examined the plans and giv- j Ui
en bis permission after finding that
the foundations and walls will be
safe. This is a matter that, ought to Di
be looked after by the city council '
without further delay. ? Newberry In

The greatest need Newberry has Tii
now is a street and sidewalk inspec- Oa

be some work going on in this line. <

SUBSTITUTE STENOGRAPHERS s'
NEEDED. 1
The postponement of a term of the
court of sessions on account of the
illness of the official stenographer Bn
, can be explained on no other theory t-h.
than that of a defect in the law. '?<<
While substitute stenographers cpialilied
for court reporting are none too ',J1
numerous, it is certain that they
could be obtained if the law provided
properly for their compensation. m(
It is suggested that a competent sten- 19
ographer regularly engaged in private
work cannot afford to abandon
