The council isidorcd the proposition, and the Iter is now in the hands of the ' attorney lo draft the plans. The attorney has not as yet made his il report to the council, but seems HLpomewhat dubious about the matter. ^KAs far as can be ascertained now, |^fthcrc is no doubt about I he forth^Kioining of (he street car system for J^ooigetown, for the citizens are cagfor it, and unless something unH^H'scen turns up to impair their HVocs, it will be a sure thing.

Candidate Speaks to About 5,000 Virginia Republicans?Says "PooPie Have Ruled." Hot Springs, Ya., Aug. 21. William IT. Taft as a campaigner made his first appearance today. An audience of between 4.000 and 5.000 Virinia Republicans made evorv effort , to express its approval. "1 wonder how an ill-natured man would feci in a crowd like this?" was flic first sontQiice of Mr. Taft. after two ^ introductory speeches had been received with enthusiasm. and a shout, "f approval was his answer. To Cotton Producers! W hy is it that cotton has not reachod the minimum price set. 15 cents? Ts il too late? 1 answer. Xo. What, thou, is the cause of its being down? I lie producer alone is to blame. Tie r is ready at all times to listen to all he hears about (ho boar side of cotIon. but fails to look in lo (ho true situation and the condition of the crop. Tit' does not realize that cotton . is now scarcer than it has boon in twout\-five years, while tin1 demand is just as great, when we consider the supply of raw material. It must be remembered that last year's crop I was shrt more than -1.000.000 bales. * In iew of this we can roach no other (conclusion but that the producer himself is to blame for our not readmit: the minimum before this. TTe has become frightened at the bluffs of the bear element, the spinner and speculator, and has taken their assertions as facts. ^ Their first bluff was the mills runS ning on short time. Tl was necessary for them lo do (his. as il was impos\|S'lde for them lo secure sufficient raw material to run on. Last year's crop . .' forced them to enrlail, not I heir pro^ junction but their consumption. Cofgfen was not to be had. They next Vr" '" ,nn^'n~ you believe MjftTint thov could no| sell their goods, iJy and frightened yon again. While thov M have goods stored in their own warehouses, (he commission houses in Now A York and other confers have less goods (ban they have had in yoai H Not until the entire surplus is eon^Ksumod in these centers will the goods 8HL'taken from (lie local warehouses. On August 1st tho mills found it ^necessary lo close down for ton days, this was not. from choice. Tt was the want of col ton. T know it to |'|p a fact that most of the mills which Closed down were out of cotton lo jSpin. They know thai there was not /'enough cotton to run them until the how crop comes in. They have old collon to work with the now when it [first comes in. T! is fho old cotton I that Ihov want to cret bold of now | T want to impress upon Ihe farmers that now is the time to bold your ji.old cotton, as well as your new. Tf J cotton is held oil' of the market j throughout the South for the next j sixty days the Brokers and SpeculaI tors will be compelled to give the | price in order to fill contracts sold I the spinners ahead. You can do this by putting your cotton in bonded I warehouses and borrowing money on |it. Money is now plentiful for lcgij tiniate purposes. I The continental mills arc short [cotton and there is a demand for aclliial cotton from this source, while !)' < offerings an* small. It is getting i harder every day to buy cotton for prompt shipment. The supply in the American mills is not sufficient for twenty days, if that long. The New England mills will soon have t<j buy e.otton or close down. They have been buying from hand to mouth for the hist three months. I know of one hundred bales of cotton sold last week by one mill. Fifty of this went to a mill that was closed down, while the the other fifty went to another milk These two mills had to have this cotton to begin work with on the 17th inst. All the mills which have been closed down resumed operations last Monday. TYom this we assume the (rue conditions must be setting better. 1 hear from good authority that all the mills in this section will soon begin operating on full time. It is understood that a number of mills have sold their out-put ahead for several months. All together the situation in milling cricles is not as bad as it is reported to be. Generally throughout the country the mills would be running on full time if they could j get cotton to spin. Now, as to the condition of t ingrowing crop. We hear il staled J from the bear side that we will make ! ''ourtecn million bales tin.-: year, and I thai col (on will decline !< eight cents. This is another great I?i j blulV. and il will frighten some producers. 11 is my honest belief, based | upon (lie information at my hand, that the crop of last year will not' j more than be duplicated. Another j shortage like last year will produce j one of the biggest cotton panics that the world has ever known, and I he tails of our shirts will have to be made shorter to give every man a shirt. Crop conditions in South Carolina are not what they were two weeks ago. The crop is fully 2") per cent. off. I This is due to loo much rain in June and early in July, followed by excessive heal. 11 is impossible now for the plant ever to recuperate and j make ;i top crop. j In Texas reports say that (lie crop [has been damaged in sections by loo j much rain, while in olliei sections the j crop has been etil off considerably by drought and lite devastation of 'the boll weevil. Texas cannot produce anything approaching what is considered a full crop. Alabama and Mississippi both rej port too much rain, followed by excessively hot weather, producing i rust, black rot and shedding, j Georgia reports thirty counties a fJ feeteil with black rot, which is dam airing the crop no little. Other sec! lions report caterpillars, too much rain, followed by excessiive heal i Cotton has deteriorated wonderfully lint he last ten days. j Then other cotton bell Stales report conditions just about as bad. In view of litis, information, it is lite j height of folly for the producer and j holder of spots to become frightened land sell. The Farmers' I'nion is in a position to gel a correct estimate o I the crop, and il is wisdom in Ihe farI mer listening to the union, whose interest is identical with his, rather than to listen to the speculator, whose interest it is to get your cotIon just as cheap as possible. The national convention of the Farmers' Union will convene September 1st for the purpose of fixing the price of cotton. At thai time the union will know the exact condition of the crop, and will fix a price in keeping ! with those conditions. 1 is view of these facts, T urge every man owning a bale of cotton to is!ore it in a bonded warhouse, borrow money !? meet your hli-jrationv. arfd hold on lill Ihe price set i*- r-aclied. jit i> suicidal in us to work hard and I make a crop and then let the gambler and speculator have it at less than il ens! us to make il. Stand by your guns and make a good fight and victory is ours. B. Harris, President, S. C. Farmers' Union. A ROMAN FATHER. But Ho Ought to Sparc Her Just Once More. i Chicago Povt.
