COTTON WILL GO HIGHER. Junior Senator is Informed by Sta tistician Neal the Crop WilllProb ably Be About 10 1-2 Million Bales. Florence, Oct. 30.-United States Senator E. D. Smith is in receipt of a letter from Statistician R.. L. Neal, with, advance sheets of a circular to -be sent out, showing that, after a trip over the South, the most eareful estimates of the cottoi crop this yeaT indicates a possible cotton crop , 10,520,000 bales, agreeing with a re cent estimate issued by Senator Smith. From exporters, Senator Smitth learned that it is expected, if the Government report issued next week on cotton confirms private advices, cotton will be bound to reach famine prices. Speaking of the rejent cur tailment of production by ~e mills, the Senator to-day said: ''The curtailment by the mills is not because of the high price of -e staple, nor the depression in the price of goods, but because the spinners see rvhat there is not going to be cotton enough to keep the mills busy until the next crop, and a shutting down is inevitable. They make a convenience of necessity now in the ;hope such ac tion -will depress cotton, while they buy greedily wherever they can, de spite their argument. 'The frmers now -have an oppor tunity to see how corporations stick to .their organization when business interest demands individual action. Just as was the case with the farmer when :he rushed his cotton to market, H& N-NO. X. ito -their amusement, despite the farm ers' organization. "This is now the farmers' day, thank God." 15 Cents at Manning. Manning, October 30.-The cotton market at this place, which has held up well all this season, got into the6 15 cents column to-day. About three fourths of the crop has been gather ed and sold, however, and the high price will not benefit a great r -mty. Quite a number of farmers in this county sold cotton. early in the sea son for fall delivery at 10 cents and it makes them sick to see the' price going up.. Many who have been sell iug at the higher prices Tecently pre vailing are buying new horses, bug gies, pianos, organs, etc., and trade generally has been quite brisk, .*hile the merchants are having better col letions than in any fall for several years past. A good crop of corn, hay, oats gnd feel stuff generally has combined to place the farmers in po sition to actually enjoy the good price for cotton.* k' 15 Cetsat Lurens Laureis, Oct. 30.--Cobton reachied the 15-cent mark here to-day. How ever, the bulk of the day's receipts something like four hundred bales, was bought a&t 14 3-4 eents. O otton1 Eig at Abbeville. Abbeville, 10ct. 30.-Cotton is kig in Abbeville to-day. It sold on the Abbeville market during the day for 15 cents per pound. Will Close Two Days a Week. Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 30.-At a meeting of all the cotton inills of Alamanee County, held 'at Burlington to-day it was unanimously resolved Cto curtail production to the extent of two days a week, or one.4hird time, .until February next. The agreement goes into effect immediatelly and ev ery mill in the county to the number of 26 signed up. In the aggregate nearly 200,000 spindles and 6,000 looms are affected and nearly 20,000 operatives. - H COUNTRY BDITOR. Atlanta Constitution. One of the staunchest types of con structive Americanism, wherever 10 *ated, is the country editor, an in stitutign in.digenous to this nation. And an illuminating sample of thie type is T. Larry Gantt, of Georgia and South Carolina and the south at-large, now located at Whiteville, N. C., where he is pursuing his per-. ~.ennial vocation of getting out the snappiest and best weekly in the commonwealth. Not to know Larry Gan:t is to confess ignorance of poli tis and journalism in this neck of the woods for the past several de ades. The News-Reporter is the name of the weekly he is now editing, and 'reently he had a quarterly gather ing of the .correspondents wno cover the news of Golumbus county with the inclusiveness of the morning dew and the young grass. One of the principal speakers up o this occasion-and big~ publie men ame fro near and tar to do honor to Larry-was Josephius D)amels. atonlly known as editor r :ne Raleizlh News and Observer. In writ aof his m:periecesC. Mr. Djamels :asown1 as th f& irs: duty fe (.-u.ntwry editor to report to his s-u;i scribers the doings of folks they know, and then proceeds: That is the principle that guides Mr. Gantt and his wonderfully clever, correspondents. Nothing happens in Wrangtang, Columbus county, from the fact that "Mr. John WV. Faulk is preparing to take a few board ers,'"to "in a few days we expect to see a new railroad completed,'" that does not appear in a Wrangtang cor respondence of the Whiteville News Reporter. Nothing is little or unim portant that concerns a neighbor, and the party given by a young lady of Cattail Bay is far more interesting to his readers than a social function at the white house. One would search far to find a bet ter definition of the scope of the country -weekly, adding thereto, of course, the conceded -principle that the country editor isalwaysa" boost er" for his community. It is one, too, followed wtih strik ing accuracy by the craft in Georgia. To a man, the country editor in this state is obsessed with the conviction tlat his town and county are the most promising and best to live in in A merica. He is at mortal feud with the patron or stranger who disputes the assertion, and he has more dif ferent ways of preaching his develop ment doctrine than a politician has f side-stepping questions. He is hot after the news feature too, and it is only the man who has azcess to the country weeklies that knows native Georgia in its unskim med virility and richness. The Constitueion has always held that it is a Georgian's duty, first, to ubscribe to his home paper, that he might keep in touch with affairs at his elbow; then comes a daily,: a tri weekly or. a weekly newspaper, gauged by his means, to keep him jam:up with the doings of the out side world. Most Georgians, especially during recent years, can afford two of these choices.! In the isolated instane, however, where poverty of pocket or epterprise intervene, and the choice is narrowed to the home paper or the outside paper, we -should give our vote to the former, and we regard that as the duty of thi rural Geor gian. It is the .country editor who, like Larry Gantt, is a benevolent maniac about his town and county, that does things for his state. We have plenty of his type in Georgia. Overheard in Goatville.
