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

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

Gus Lee Gets Respite.
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."

YORK COUNTY NEWS.
(Rock Hill Herald.)
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.
