BETTER COTTON Lewis \V. Parker, Big Cotton Mill Man Sends Out Letter to tlie - Farmers. Cloth manufactured by the South Carolina mills from long staple cotton produced in the State this year, will be shown at the S?.ate fair this week by the State department of agriculture. "The exhibit," said Commissioner Watsou, "will be the final word in cotton." There will be an exhibit of long staple cotton of all varieties up to one and three-fourths inches. Tlie department will next year prosecute a vigorous campaign to interest the farmers in the growth of the long staple cotton. Results! have already been secured. Lewis \V. Parker, bead of the , $15,000,000 cotton manufacturingi company, is very much interested in the production of the long staple cotton. He has opened a market for the cotton in this State. Mr. Parker has sent out the following to the farmers of South Carolina: "We wish to advise you that we use at several of the mills in ; which we are interested staple cot-! ten ranging in length from full j inch 1-8 to full inch 1-4, and will be glad to get into communication with you with a view of purchasing / your crop of same. "Our plan is to buy this cotton ' direct from the farmer where practicable, and we suggest that if one or I more of you will get together in j any community 25 or more hales, ' t we will send our expert staplers, who will examine your cotton on ; the spot and make full market of-' fers therefor: but if it be not practicable for you to congregate your cotton, as thus suggested, we would advise that you ship your cotton to the Standard Warehouse | company, at either Greenville or Columbia, advising us of shipment, and we will have our stapplers to examine the same and make you full market offers therefor. "We further suggest that if practicable you have all staple cotton ginned on a roller gin in order to avoid cutting or napping the staple. This will likewise add to the length of the staple, and correspond ingly to its value and price, but if it be not convenient for you to use the saw gin, we advise that you watch the roll closely and have the speed regulated so as not to cut the staple. Run the gin slowly. ^ "Whether you use a saw or roller gin we would urge that you see that the gin is regulated so as not to cut the staple. "We shall be glad to co-operate with you in every way possible in the preparation of your staple for the market, in order to secure you the best possible results. It is all important that long staple cotton ? should be handled and ginned with the greatest care in order that you may compete with the Mississippi sections and secure the prices paid them. "If we can be of any service to you we shall gladly assist you and gh e you information upon request. "Parties in the eastern part of the State will find it to their advantage to communicate with J. L. Coker & Co., Hartsville, who will buy cotton for our account at full. prices." Tbe Close Settsou for Editors. Wonder where Governor Blease! v buries the editors he kills. While | at Spartanburg last week he was ; asked why lie vetoed the libel law j passed by the legislature at the last session. His reply was that the law was worthless because a newspaper was exonerated if, after the publication of a libel, it published a retraction and apology. However, the governor said, newspaper libels had been of great service to him and he welcomed the condemnatV>n of the press, as it "made votes for him. "If I were not in politics," said Governor Blease, ""and a newspaper Med anout me. i would whip the editor. And if I was not man enough to do it 1 would take a duble-barled shotgun and kill him. Tho governor further said that Smith & Wesson made all men of the same size and that although he had managed to keep out of fights he was glad that he could use a gun. The editors should be thankful that Governor Blease is in office, as that seems to a close season with him regarding them. A committee should be appointed at the next meeting i of the Press Association to try and find out where the Governor burteg the editors he has killed. ? Orangeburg Times and Democrat. * ?
