In flic fnci' <>f tin* fad that the receipts ??I" eoiion arc very much helow what ihcy were a year ayo, Ih?* j price seems to hear downward. As we have slated from time !-? lime during the last few weeks, (here can he no doubt that the supply and demand nave absolutely nothing to do with I he present price of cotton. The cloth market is linn and even the announcement of a l>i-_r wholesale house in i he \\c~t I h:11 it proposed lo| |>Ut down III)* price of cotton yoods. j the m.'ii'kel has not been I'lT'ded el-e- ! where, and l!io-e who handle I ;t r?_r?*' out -put s .if cot Ion '.'oiid -. say I iiat I h a1111oini?-< ni( i l of tin-; western house! is more of an advert isiuy scheme than ' j an indication thai there will be any j material break in the price of niauu- j factored cotton. | I I I lie fanners would Maud bv Iheivl organizations and refuse to put their' cotlnii upon the market, i here can he no doubt t hat in a ver\ shorl I inn' ! the price would materially advance. Any-of | he mill men will tell you frankly thai there is a I profit j for them at the present price of cotIon "roods if they have to pay l.'i cenlsj lor l!i?'ir cotton. Certainly then, it would be but a fair division of this profit il the farmers couid only rea-j li/.e lL' or I.! ceiils for their cotton ! When, however, I hey belong to an orl'aui/aIii'ii and ayree upon a minimum. every effort should he made to carry out in yood faith that ayrec-1 nienl. There is certainly no cause] for alarm in the present decline in I lie price and wv hope (hat the farmers will stand steady, and those who do will reap the reward. Let there he no break in the ranks. Stand linn. President Roosevelt, in his address at Yickshury, Miss., just before leaving |hat section, after his outing, said that he had not made i| a custom to say in advance what he intended to do, hut in this case, he would break his rubs and slate that he intended to advocate in his next message to congress as heartily as he knew how, that the present congress "'shall take the lirs| sleps to brim:- about that ! deep channel w ay and I he at lendanl hiii'li and broad leveo system which will make of these alluvial bottoms the richest and most populous ayri-1 cultural land on the lace ol the ?lnln>. I I think lliat any policy which tends to the upli11 in_y o| any portion of our i people in the end distributes its benefit over the whole people, 11 ere we nave a policy whose lirst and direct ' benefit will come to the man ou Ihei plantation, the tiller of the soil." I II congress should adopt the suy-' {restions, which Mr. Roosevelt says he intends to make, it certainly would be a irrent fhin.ir not only for that section, bill lor tin' whole ol this conn- | try. It is hoped that President Roosevelt will keep the promise, which he made to the people of Yickshury. TO PRINT A DAILY. I he next annual conference of the Methodist Kpiseopal Church South will he held in (iatlney ou November 27 to December 2. This is to he an especially interestinjr meeting of the eonferencc. In fact, all of these annual conferences are inlerostiiiy. Mr. Kd. II. DeCamp. editor of the OafTnev Ledyer. who is always progressive, announces that 'the Ledger ollice will print a daily paper duriuy the conference session, and that no pains will be spared to make the palter interest inn- i,> the ureal body of Methodists ..| South Carolina. The subscription for the paper during the conference mailed to any addresis in "fhis state or the 1 nited Slates, will be 2.) cents, postage prepaid. We call al tent ion to this fact, so 4hat if there are any Methodists or others, who would like to have Ihe proceedings as published by the Ledyer, thev may send in their subscriptions or hand them to their local pas tor. TWO LIVE SUBJECTS. "n | ie |mv sj paye of this paper we print two interviews from two prois.inent cili/.eus of this .-late on two very li\e subjects. Senator l.alitnev discusses the immigration <piestion and explains his position on it; Mr. (J. C.
