Harvie Jordon, ?.>f Monti<rc*lIo, O'l., president of the S mthern Cotton t-i rowers' Protective Associ ition, 1ms issued tin address to i h*> cotton producers of the South in which he snys, among other things: "The producers are to be congratulated for the firm stand they baVe alroady taken to market the crop slowly, and that fact alone hns prevented the price from falling to 8 cents during tln? month of (Jcto- j ber. The crop ib about gathered, | debts generally are paid and it is no longer absolutely necessary to sell the balance of the crop. The gin tiers' report recently issued from the I nited States census bureau indicated that up to October 38th only (5,4.00,000 bales of cotton bad beonr ginned. The report clearly indicates that this crop will not exceed 11.000,000 bales, if it reaches that figure. The spinners can well afford to pay the producers 12 cents per pound for every bale of American short staple cotton made this season and do a profitable business for the stockholders. Tin* price of yarns has advanced .'I cents per poind within the last 00 days ( and an unprecedented demand for j cotton goods exists, while stocks i are generally lower than they have j I wen for the n>iut 't. I veil ra rPli~ i duty of the produce!# is plain nnd simple. They huve crowded tUe markets for the past two months congesting every fnot 1 ity for handling cotton and playing into the hands of the bear speculators nnd spinners. The tiling to do now is to give the markets and shippers a rest during toe next 00 days and allow present stock of spot cotton to be gotten out of the way. Let the spinners who are living from hand to month run short of cotton and force them into the markets as active buyers. Let the bear spec ulators begin ti feel the lash of the bull operators when the latter call for the deliveries of spot cotton which the former will be unable to deliyer. '"Let every holder of cotton stop soiling cotton and con- 1 template results. Let each holder j determine to put no more cotton en the market until prices advance and never sell a bale on a depressed market" ? . ! Ml- - ? ami uispensray Agitation The Columbia correspondent of the Charlotte Observer sums up the anti-dispensary notation in this State as follows: The storm which has begun forming and heading toward the dispensary is constantly gathering force, and 1 if it does not wipe out the system at the next session of the Legists- | ture there are almost cextniri to he pune radicle changes in the con- j duet, of the business, which has be- , e- >me a s euch in the nostrils of tlie people. Senator Til.man himself recognizes that radical concessions will have to be made to save the institution. In his opinion the whole point is the betterment of i tlie system. Hut lie admits that if; the next Legislature does not straighten out tilings, remove the doubt about the eon duet of the business, and raise the. purchasing and other features of the system absolutely above suspicion the j succeeding session would likely deem it wise to submit the whole question to the people, and he ' hopes therefore that the Legisia- j tore will do a toning up atunt without delay. Asa last resort he i favoiH "farming out'1 the entire ! business to some responsible concern, which would conduct it under i proper bonds and restrictions. I and be compelled to keep up the general feat urea that all agree are good. Til the opinion of Senator Tillman it ia utterly impracticable and ill-advised to have county management of the diapeniini iee He urges that the same incentive that is now auggoated actuates one board to make money out of the dispensary would*exist among 40 laiHrda. and that if there i* cOi roption in one central hoard it would eprend out among 4<| hotuU. if there were no cltftnge in the meth- j oil of pimdnisin^nwl m>muer of. conducting tin* business.

It was made direct to Un?sia and no power acted an intermediary. The failure to theses direct negotiations, however, resulted in bringing iuteivention within a measurable distance. Didn't Need a Lawyer ! "Hello, Hrice, didn't you advise him he hud better run?" i "No, of course not." "You were his lawyer, weren't ; you ?" The first speaker was Mr. Fin ley. It was just after John Allen Pnrrish had stepped out of the cowit house, and away, while the sheriff II aud bailiffs weresku rying in every Idireetiou'in the hope of striking a ! hot trail. Mr. Hrice denied having any knowledge of the ease and Mr. John \Y. McElhaney backed him I up with: "No, Mr. Hrice wasn't his lawyer. He didn't need a lawyer. He had just figured out his own case and did what he intended todo from the begiuing. That's what i he did." The lawyers have had a good deal of sport over thin case joking each other with having advised Parrish to escape but it is prelty generally conceded that Mr. McElhaney had it about right.
