There is, of course, no organic reason that the price of cotton should fall within the last few days some $20 to $25 per bale. The staple is worth every bit of 35 cents a pound and more, too. and the fact that the market is saving would indicate outside pressure and manipulative operations are behind the movement to send the market crashing. In this connection. The News has received a telegram from the officials of the American Cotton associatiod, now being organized with a goal of one million members, asking this newspaper to urge cotton farmers who are holding their staple not tc be stampeded to the market because of the rather sensational decline. That telegram is as follows: "We earnestly hope that the cotton farmers and the holders of cotton will not be stampeded by the propaganda now being issued by speculators and ^parties who wish to buy cheap cotton, but that they will stand steady and refuse to sell the staple at present prices. The association deplores the organized effort now being made to depress and send the price of cotton to tht bottom. In spite of the fact that cotton goods have advanced, cotton prices have gone dowr $20 to $25 per bale. Today tht staple, measured by the price of cotton goods, is worth intrinsically more than 35 cents t pound, and even at that price, it is the cheapest commodity beinc offered in the world's market.? Charlotte News. The Bridge Location. The Times has received tht following communication, which will be read with interest generally: TWn T1: UU11UI 1 IJC 1I1IIC8. "1 noticed an article in th< York Enquirer copied from The Times concerning the proposer Catawba river bridge. You havt it wrong as to the site the commissioners had practically agreec upon. It was the W. M. Boyc site, instead of Boyd's ferry. This place is the nearest practical point to Wright's ferry for t bridge, as was specified in the act passed by the Legislature The Thompson site is hardly i ntilp tKia a?u a ? V.W * v/ vuio wnt. n ui . at either site would be of sonru benefit to Fort Mill,, as the difference between the two sites is too small to make any different'* if people want to go to Fort Mill. Also. King's Mtn. anc Bessemer City are west of Gastonia and are not situated ir lower Gaston country, as yoi stated in The Times. Mecklen burg county is to pay two-third* the cost of the bridge, and therefore, should have some advan tage as to the location. R. R. Harper, . v ? _ i. r> o a ? ~ iui i\, i\. o., /vug. iy." Just a word in reply to Mr. Harper: You should read newspaper aaticles more carefully before writing replies. The Times did not say that King's Mountain and Bessemer City were ir lower Gaston county. This was i\ quotation from the Charlotte News.? Editor Times. For a State Memorial. Every minister in South Carolina will be asked to call attention on Sunday. September 28th, tc the fact that Monday, September 29th. will be the first anniversary of the smashing of the Hindenburg line by the South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee troops of the Thirtieth Division, and that on that day the campaign to raise $400,000 to erect a fitting memerial to the South Carolina heroes participating in the war will be formally opened. The South Carolina Memorial commission believes that the memorial fund will be raised within the first week of the campaign, and probably during the first two or three days. I! Ytrk Csuty Hews Flatten. I korkville Enquirer.) After listening to both sides in the case involving the recall of Prof. J. H. Witherspoon as superintendent of the Gaff ney public schools, the school board on last Wednesday dismissed the whole matter as not entitled to have any weight with those who are "interested in the educational uplift of the youth of the community;" Half a hundred York county farmers. including representatives from every township in the county, attended a meeting of the temporary organization of the York county branch of the American Cotton association in the York courthouse Thursday. Members of the township boards of canvassers from each of the townships, with the exception of Bullock's Creek, were present and were given instruction as to how to proceed in the laving of plans for a statewide membership drive throughout the State August 26, 27 and 28, when it is hoped to secure at least 1,700 members in York county. Following this drive and on the first Monday in September, a meeting will be called to be held in the courthouse at Yorkville, at 11 i o'clock, when the reports of the canvassers will be received and a permanent organization of the York county Cotton association will be effected by the election of a president, vice president, i secretary and treasurer and othi er officials.

It was reported that little hope was entertained for the recovery of Hammond, Head, Aldrich and Freeman. The riot of Tuesday morning followed the gathering of an immense crowd at the car barn of the street railway, following the attempted operation of cars on Monday. Some one in the crowd fired a pistol and a general fusilade of shots followed. It was stated that few of the striking car men were in the riot crowd. The street car company got in touch with State officials and at present severalj companies of militia are parading the streets to prevent further J outbreaks of violence. Nothing like an agreement had been reached yesterday between the company and the strikers, though the opinion was expressed by parties visiting Charlotte that the cars would be again running within a short time. Charlotte has been without car service for wellnigh three weeks. A Delightful Photoplay.
