NO REASON FOR DECLINE.
In the face of the fact that the
receipts of cotton are very much be
low what they were a year ago, the
price seems to bear downward.
As we have stated from time to
time during the last few weeks, there
can be no doubt that the supply and
demand have absolutely nothing to
do with the present price of cotton.
The cloth market is firm and even
the announcement of a big wholesale
house in the west that it proposed to
put down the price of cotton goods,
the market has not been effected else
where, and those who handle large
out-puts of cotton goods. say that th.
annoancement of this western house
is more of an advertising scheme than
an indication that there will be any
material break in the price of manu
factured cotton.
If the farmers would stand by their
organizations and refuse to put their
cotton upon the market, there can be
no doubt that in a very short time
the price would materially advance.
Any, of the mill men will tell you
frankly that there is a good profit
for them at the present price of cot
ton goods if they have to'pay 15 cents
for their cotton. Certainly then,' it
would be but a fair division of this
profit if the farmers could only rea
lize 12 or 13 cents for their cotton.
When, however, they belong to an o}
ganization and agree upon a mini
mum, every effort should be made to
carry out in good faith that agree
ment. There is certiinly no cause
for alarm in the present decline in the
price and we hope that the farmers
will stand steady, and those who do
-will reap the reward. Let there be no
break in the ranks. Stand firm.
President Roosevelt, in his address
at Vieksburg, Miss., just before leav
ing that seetion, after his outing, said
that he.had not made i$ a custom to
say in advance Vyhat he intended to
do, but ir this case, he would break
his rulerand state that-he intended to
co
gress as heartily as he- knew how,
'that the present congress ''shall take
the first steps to bring about that
deep channel way and the attendant
high and broad levee system which
will make of these alluvial bottoms
the. richest and most populous agri
cultural land on the face of the globe.
I think that any policy which tends to
the uplifting of any portion of our
people in the end distributes its bene
fit over the whole people. Here we
- , have a policy whose first and direct
benefit will come to the man on the
plantation, the tiller of the soil.''
If congress should adopt the sug
gestions, which Mr. Roosevelt 'says he
-intends to make, it' certainly would
be a great thing not only for that see
tion, but for the whole of this coun
try. It is hoped that President Roose
velt will keep the promise, which he
made to the people of Vicksburg.
TO PRINT A DAILY.
The ne*xt annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South
will be held in Gaffney on 'November
27 toDecember 2. This is to be an
especially interesting meeting of the
conference. In fact, all of these an
nual conferences are interesting.
Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp, editor of the
GOafney Ledger, who is always pro
gressive, announces that the Ledger
e office will print a daily paper during
the conference session, and .that .no
pains will be spared to make the pa
per interesting to the great body of
Methodists of South Carolina. The
subscription for <the paper during the
conference mailed to any address in
~this state or the United States, will be
25 cents, postage prepaid.
We call a.ttenrtion to this fact, so
that if there are any Methodists or
~othiers, who would like to havie the
proceedings as published by the Led
ger, they may send in their subscrip
tions or hand them to their local pas
'tor.
TWO LIVE SUBJECTS.
du n f~eirit p>age of this paper we
print two interviews from two pro
rinent citizens of this state on two
very Iix e subjects. Senator Latimer
discnsses the immigration question
and explains his position on it; Mr.
C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens, who
made the~ race for governor a few
years ago, on the prohibition plat
form, gives his views on that sub
We especia!iy direc: attention to
Mfr. Feathersione's staten.ent. It is a
V0
fort to force it upon comn1ities
where public sentiment is opposed to
it. We are inelined, however. to the
opinion that it would he better for
the ca.us.e of -tate prohibition not to
take even the revoluntionary step
which he sut2es . t rather l It those
counties under the .-esent local op
tion law, as public sentiment grew in
favor of prohibition. vote the legal
sale of whiskey out of their counties.
There can be no qnestion that pub
lie ;entinent is growing very rapidly
in favor of prohibit^ng the legal sale
of whiskey, and we believe it will be
best for the cause. and help to furth
er this sentiment if we let the local
option 1,aw'stand as it is and let tihe
which now sell whiskey,
vote out the legal sale. Certainly
M-: - ea therstone's position is muel.
wiser than those, who believe ij en
deavoring to pass a state law to
force prohibition upor. the whole state
without the local option provision.
Another point, which he makes as
to the curtailment of the illicit sale
I is by puitting the punishment a sen
tence on the chainzang rather thai
having the alternative of a fine. As
w stated, these two subjects, which
are given prominenee on the first
page of this paper. are two very live
subjects to the pevple of this state
today ahd The Herald and News will
have something more to say on them
from time to time.
Fair Week Excursions.
Col R. W. Hunt. division passenger
agent of the Southern railway, an
nounces that the Southern will run
two special trains on Wednesday, and
Thursday of fair week to accommo
date the visitors. One of these trains
will be run from Spartanburg . on
both days, the other from Belton. In
addiion to these special trains the
Sou:hern has arranged to put extra
equipment on every train coming in
to Columbia next week, as many as
six extra coaches being ordered for
certain trains.
Col. Hun? says that he confidently
expects to handle a third more visi
tors this year than last. Everywhere.
t'he people are talking the fair and
are planning to take in the great an

Sother roiads entering Columbia are

day with their sister. Mrs. G. W. t
Setzler. of this place. t
A numtber of the young men of Po- d

B. Feagle, Roland Ringer. I. A. Ha.r

Up to the close of last week the gin
nery in connection with the oil mill
here had ginned about 1100 bales of -
cotton this season.
Pomaria probably holds the "long
distance record'" in this county this
year for a run-a-way team. About
dusk on Wednesday evening of last
week. al horse and mule belonging to
Mr. W. F. Suber, took fright as a
bale of cotton was being loaded ov
the wagon, and ran away. Mr. Sub
er atfempted to stop them, but was
unsuccessful, the wagon wheel pass
ina over his foot and painfully., Iut
not seriously, injuring it. The team
continued to run, and it is believed
they ran all the way home--a distance
of about eigiht miles, at least, they
were still running when they passed
a point about five miles from Pomar- .
ih. When they.. reached home they
wer-a covered with a lather of
sweat. T1?e mst- remarkable thinz
about ithe whoie occurrence is that.
althowh the road is very crooked
and exeeedin,ly hilly. no damage was,

nea home. There, where the road
turned through a patch of pines, the
wagon1 wheel struck a tree and broke
the coupling-pole. overt-rning the a
wa-on and spilling ont. the bale of
Icotion.
It 'eems from two l.al items Ii
esday'- Observe: Cat the bicycle
ordinance is' not being observed by
some of the bicyclists in Newberry.
The editor of the Observer has al
ready, we believe, urged this as an
argument for not allowing bicycles on
the sidewalks at all. But his logic is
faulty. If the present ordinanee is
Lreasonable, it cerbainly can be
easily enforce'd-if there arethb
Who re'dly want it enorced-as- eti
the~ ordinuznee which. he- would hive
ihe council enaect, .and which, ;wit .
the present --ondition of the streets of
Newiserrv. is not reas mnabIr.. The Ob
server recently remarked that th'e
"bieyele is a vehiele, and the street
i, the. place for vehicles.'' Wel. it

ar'eer i.tend to say that it. -'i ': I 1be
'estrict.ed to the street? Ani it is
ropelled s.y a similar powe'r to that
which moves the bicycle, too.
Now those who know anyt'hing
about riding bicycles know that most
of the outlyihng streets of Newberry
are utterly unfit the greater part of
the time for bicycles; and if thoe
who ride wheels are not permitted, =
even under proper restrictions, to
ride on the sidewalks, it means that
they will just have to lay aside their
wheels. Now it is a great conveni
ence to many who live some distance
from their place of business to be
able to use bicycles i~n going to anid (
from their work; it is .a saving of
time and money.- Is it then, not (
rather selfish and inconsiderate t;o
deny them this convenicnee, when it
can be allowed them without .the
slightest danger or disadvantage to
pedestrians? .The Observer, will doubt
less admit that if the~ present bidiW
nance be enforced, pedestrians 'will
have nothing to eomplain of; and the
ordinance will be enforced just as
soon as the pedestrians demand that
it be. The advantage of the present
ordinance over that which the Obser
ver desires is that it does not work -
