Harvie Jordon Says Hold.
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.

The Republicans were desperate
in Colorado on the day of the election.
At Cripple Creek two Democratic
election judges were killed,
a IVabody deputy sheriff was mo"tally
wounded and a number of
IJemoiTatic judges were beaten

he to indicate that the czar is confident
of the ultimate outcome of
the war. Although the suggestion
j of n pacific settlement was made
j unofficially it actually had behind
J it all the weight of an offer by the
I Japanese government. 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. Parrish
did not need a lawyer.?York
