Should Mills Plant Cotton. The following from the News .and Courier will be of interest to our people: "Southern cotton mills should 1 grow theiro\yn cotton." That was the striking proposition in a paper by William H. Harriss, j president of the Bellevue Mills ; ComrUinv. of Atlanta nn<l a rpsi {lent of Rock Hill, read in the pieeting of the American Cotton Manufacturers' Association in Richmond last week. After presenting figures to show that in cotton manufacturing' the raw material is, roughly, fifty per eent. of the cost of production, - Mr. Harriss said: "Now, the South offers opportunities for fixing the cost of raw material within narrow limits that are pot found in any other of the great cotton manu- i facturing sections of the world, yet we are not making the best pf our only real advantage over tereign competition. Once fix the price of raw material and the Southern mill man could foretell very closely what a certain piece of cloth would cost to manufacture next year or the year after if necessary. Do this and our manufacturers of the Southern States could speak prophetically of spinning the greater portion of our crop with a surer chance of fulfilment. "How, then, is the price of our raw material to ho fixed? The puswcr in my opinion is to, in reality, put a 'cotton mill in a cotton field.' That is, to have farming and spinning corporations raise their own seed cotton, as well as manufacture same into j goods nearby, with the cotton , gin as the first process in the mill. Right here I will say that primarily this entire discussion applies only to the smaller mills or, say, 10,000 spindles an unifier, owing to the unwiehlly size of a farm necessary to raise suf- , ficient cotton for the larger mills. However, with the advent of more economic agricultural developments, such as a practical cotton picking machine and greater yields per acre, 1 do not I doubt that in time large mills will be operated in this manner." Continuing, Mr. Harriss contended that the mill planting its own cotton would have an im- | mense advantage in that the cotton would be planted, cultivated, picked, ginned, packed and handled in a manner under its own direction, which would insure the best possible quality of I staple that the soil would produce and so the waste would be minimized. We have sometimes marvelled that Southern spinning companies with their excellent organizations and proved capacity for economizing production have not purchased lands, placed intelligent and ellicient superintendents in charge of them and made incidental fortunes out of soil tillage by applying to it the Kiluinacc n?n nninlao tli.it wuwatiWki |U JilV tnai characterize their manufacturing operations. One has but to imagine a ten-thousand acre body of cotton lands cultivated under the direction of a thoroughly trained and educated farmer, reporting to the mill treasurer and with the mill company's money buying all supplies for cash and therefore at the lowest prices, to ^ form some notion of the benefits that would accrue to the mill company. At the same time, it is by no means certain that Mr. Flarriss's plan would prove profitable. A lew years ago a South Carolina planter who had made a great deal of money actually built a small cotton mill in the middle of his plantation. He also built acotton oil mill, so that the seed and fibre of his cotton left the farm in the form of the manufactured product. But lie failed. In a short time, the mills had bankrupted the farm. The farmer did not prove a successful manufacturer. Who can say that that successful manufacturer could manage a plantation profitably? * YVhile a large proportion of Southern cotton is produced by wlltf 1 '1 K/\Y* flm moi?\ ? Iiiikv IUUU1 f kill. ill.nil J lit HI I III cotton production is negro labor. To put the case in homely phrase, the man who succeeds bc$t in cotton production is the man endowed with the peculiur ability >'to manage free niggers." The white man, no matter how poor he be, if he have this gift, may become a rich man and thousands ^pf Southern men who began life without a dollar are independent land-owners because they havo. had it. Nor is there any code of rules by which this labor is directed. One man's method may be wholly diffrent fromanothers; one may be a hard master and pnother indulgent, and the two accomplish the same results. The cotton mill company, no matter how wealthy it be cannot compete with the thrifty Southern farmer in producing Cotton unless it apply his methods in controlling labor. It rer hi ' v r ' ? mains to be dem^nstated that cotton may be produced by white ; labor exclusively in competition with negro labor. The white man's standard of living is far higher than the negro's and he must have better wages. The white man who cannot manage negroes usually drifts at last to the mill or to the store to become an operative .or salesman. Mr. Harriss, we suppose, would say that the mill company may employ efficient superintendents and foremen for the farm just as it does employ them for the manufacturing plant, and perhaps he would be correct. It "looks plausible." The experiment that Mr. Harriss proposes VVnillll VlO in/1 ,? W.vt C4I1V4 Histructive rand, if successful, would probably be of wonderful benefit to the manufacturing industry in the South.* May Test Prohibition Law. From the Durham correspondent of the Charlotte Observer it is learned that prominent antiprohibitionists of North Carolina will in all probability test the ! constitutionality of the new State prohibition law. Those who are agitating the fight say that the i law is unconstitutional in that it j allowed but one result. That is: ' That the law as drawn allowed the State to bo declared dry if ; it carried, but on the other hand it did not and would not have allowed the opening of saloons if it had gone wet. In other words : the law as it now stands closes every saloon in the State, while, if it had gone the reverse the ! State would have been left just as it was, which was dry with ; the exceptions of the few coun- 1 ties that had saloons. The prob- ; ability is that within the near future there will be a meeting at some point in the State of the leaders that lost, and that at i fliic mnpfinii1 en>n/i /wjlenfo o/d vum in v? V- will *??

The supreme court en baric yesterday rendered a decision in the case of Gus Lee, the effect of which is to enable his attorney, W. H. Newbold, Esq., to go before the circuit court on a motion for a new trial on the ground of after-discovered evidence. Governor Ansel granted a respite j until July 14, to give time for this proceeding. The stay came just in time to save the negro's neck for the present at least, as today was the time set for exe- i cution. -Chester Lantern Friday. A Clever Device to Fire Horse. The grand jury of Union county on Monday found a true bill against H. T. Yates of Union charged with attempting to destroy his home by fire last Thursday morning. The trial was set for yesterday. According to the Union Times, Yates used a very clever device to burn the house and would probably have succeeded but for an old colored woman, who discovered the fire just as it started and gave the alarm. The Times describes Yates' device as follows: "A most ingenious device had been arranged to bring off the fire on certain time. This device i was a cneap alarm clock tixed so that a fuse would be lighted at a certain hour and this in turn would ignite a lamp. This lamp was upon a pile of excelsior and from this pile were two trains of the same material, one connected ; with a pile of stove wood and excelsior placed about the refrigerator in the dining room and the other train leading to a like pile of wood and excelsior about1 the stove rack in the kitchen. The whole had been saturated with kerosene. The device worked beautifully except that it did not go olf with the catching of the garage house and but for the fact that the rear kitchen window blinds were not closed. Even the refrigerator had been saturated. The two trains had burned and had fully ignited the two piles of prepared fuel. "The clock device was just in the door between the kitchen and, dining room and inside the dining room. The train to the stove.in the kitchen was eight feet and that leading to the refrigerator was ten feet. Ton minutes more and the whole house would have been destroyed. Luckily the old colored woman gave the second alarm. It was a close shave, and it was a masterpiece of planning." - On Tuesday evening nt 5 w tiut-R uie rori i>ii11 i napier No. 4.

Mr. R. F. Thomasson, a former citizen of York county, died on May 23 in Mexico of Typhos fever, at the . age of 48 years. Mr. Thomasson left this county about three years ago, and located about nine miles from Charlotte. From there he went to Mexico and had not returned since. The burial took place in Mexico. Chief Partlow received a telegram Tuesday night from the sheriff of Frederick county, Maryland, ordering the arrest of Arthur Lee, son of Mr, Cliff Lee, an engineer on the 3 C's division of the Southern and a resident of this city, on the charge of housebreaking and larceny, he having, it is alleged, broken into a store in that county and stolen about $200 worth of merchandise. He was arrested Wednesday morning and placed in the lock-up, and is now awaiting the arrival of the Maryland authorities, who will probably reach Rock Hill this (Friday) afternoon. Mr. W. H. VVylie had a warrant issued Thursday morning for the arrest of R. R. Roseborough, who runs pet stock farm near the city, charging him with ill treatment and cruelty to animals. Mr. Roseborough, so we are informed, caused to bt shipped to him to this city twelve coyotes and! twenty-four pararie dogs, in a' small box, divided by a partition, I and allowed them to remain in the express ollice ten days or more. As a result many of them died, not for want of water or food, but on account of their crowded condition. He was taken . before Magistrate Glenn of | Ebenezer township, and the case! was settled by Mr. Roseborough I agreeing to take the animals | from the express ollice by 31 o'clock that day and not to cause any further suffering of animals j either from neglect in express ollice or elsewhere. (YorUviilo Enquiror.) At a congregational meeting of the Bowling Green, BethShiloh and Allison Creek congregations yesterday, a call was made out for the pastoral services of Rev. R. S. Anderson of i Gastonia. Mr. Anderson is pastor of the Second Presbyterian church of Gasstonhi. 1nr?nt#?H rm the Loray mill property. Rev. Mr. Anderson has not yet given ; the committee an intimation as to what he would probably do. Announcement has been made that on July 1, increases in the salaries of York county postmasters will go into effect as follows: Fort Mill, from $1,100 to $1,200; Yorkville, from $1,700 to $1,800; Rock Ilill, from $2,400 to $2,500. There was a big fire on West Main street, Rock Ilill, this morning at about 1 o'clock. Information is to the effect that the plants of the Rock Hill laui dry and the Coca Cola Bottling works and the office of Messrs. J. J. Keller & Co., were destroyed. The total loss is estimated at $15,000, of which $2,500 falls on J. J. Keller & Co. j Mr. J. Meek McGill has been appointed postmaster at Hickory drove, vice John K. Allison, resigned. Mr. Allison, who has been in charge of the office about twelve or fifteen years, got tired of it, decided to turn his attention to other matters and quit* j About one hundred trunks belonging to Winthrop girls, were destroyed at Rock Ilill lust Wednesday morning. The trunks had been lqaded on a Southern baggage car the night before for an early start next morning, and at about 12.45 a. m., lire broke out as the result of the overturning of a lamp. The lire department was called out and after a time the flames were extinguished; but not until most of the trunks had been destroyed or badly damaged. Many of the girls remained in Rock Ilill during Wednesday to look after their property. The railroad is understood to be responsible for each trunk up to the amount of $100. The total loss is somewhere in the neigh-j borhood of $15,000. Cotton Crop 11,375,461 Bales. The finally revised figures for the cotton crop of 1907, as given out in IJuletin 95, which has just been issued by the Bureau Cer.SUS. OXnrOSSed in omiivnlnrU 500-pound bales and including linter?, show a total production of 11,375,1(?1 bafes. This represents a falling off from 190(j of 2,220,037 bales, or 10.3 percent, and is 2,304,483 bales toss than the crop of 1904, the largest on recprd; while it falls short of the average production of the last six years by 345,914 bales. ?There was considerable excitement on Main street Thursday evening on account of the appearance of a dog which was evidently suffering with rabies. A well directed shot from the gun of Officer Potts put an end to the dog's sufferings. Mr. Potts then went into "Maybe Hollow," the section from which ihe dog came, and killed three ether curs which were attacked L y a mad dog about ten days ago. i -C ' *."'v\*- ": -".'J Sergeant Fulp Elected Captain, Times readers will be interested in the following despatch | from Winnsboro to the Columbh Record: At a meeting of the Winn* jboro Guards held in the armj Friday evening the resignatior ' of Capt.
