In the ImI lMue of Ibo Ootton
Journal Mr. Harvle Jordan, the pre*
Idenl, it a tee that be will retire from
that poittlon In January, when hli
term expiree. After referring to the
reoent dlff arenoet between the Farmen'
Union offlolale and himself Mr.
Jordan save:
"I shall retire from my present position
In the Southern Ootton Asaoola
tlon next January, but until' that
time I shall faithfully discharge every
duty Incumbent upon me, and do all
In my power to maintain effective oo
operation among the people In an effort
to keep the prloe of ootton at a
profitable figure to growen."
Mr. Jordan has been president of
the Southern Cotton Association since
Its organization, and his administration
of the offloe has not given satisfaction
all the time, but he has had
very loyal support even from those
who thought he bad made mistakes
His recent newspaper controversies
with eft) jlal* of the Ft mere' Union
have to some extent weakens i him
and have not dono the Cat ton Also
elation any good, It, was Jordan who,
without authority, demanded the 15
cents' mini mum last year, and U was
he who stood by Richard Oheatham,
the secretary of the organlz'.tlon, who
got mixed up with the bucket shops
in Atlanta.

rs may put forward, the justly cele
brated Tom Watsou for president. At
a reoent meeting in La Grange his
name was suggested, and the suggestion
was said to have been reoeived
with enthusiasm. The alleged pur
pose of the Association has been to
keep out of polltlos but Mr. Watson
has ~>ever shown any ability to keep
out of politics, except when he was
put out by the voters of Georgia and
his election as president would certalnly
meet wltb strong opposition
from the South Carolina branch of the
Association.
In faot, if Mr Jordan retires from
the presidency, there is a well defined
sentiment for the seleotlon of Mr,
E. D. Smith, if this State, for that
post, since it is well recognized that
he has been the brains and balance of
the Association in more than one
orlsiB. South Carolina will probably
present Mr. Smith for president to
suooeed Harvie Jordan.
TO FIGHT WALL 8XK1BT.
Ill it Ootton Combine to be Organized
In the South,
At Atlanta, Ga., a movement de_
-J II,._ _ - ? ' " "
bikucu bu maini*in a orontable price
for ootton against the conspiracies of
Wall street," was Inaugurated Thurs
day evening at a meeting of the executive
oommittee of the Southern
Ootton Association.
The method proposed for accomplishing
this purpose is formation of
the Southern Ootton Company,'
with an authorized capital of 9100,000,000
to build ware houses, buy up
ootton at reasonable prloes, and otherBrian
?
?? vuuvu v/A IU ivguiawa soiiiug BU
that ootton shall be traded In on basis
of its Intrinsic) value, rather than on
speculation.
Fifteen members of the exeoutive
committee of the Southern Ootton Association
attend Thursday's meeting.
They represented all the ootton
_States, and included for most part
"very prominent planters. A tentative
plan for organization of the proposed
buying and handling company was
presented by a speoial committee, consisting
of Messrs J. P. Allison, of
North Carolina; E. D. Smith of South
Carolina; S. A. Wltherspoon, of Mississippi;
E L. Maxwell, of Louisiana,
and J. C. Hiokey, of Texas.
This charter provides for organization
of a stock oompany with an authorized
oapital of $100,000,000. and
an initial capital of perhaps $10,000,000.
It Is proposed that the afTalrs
of the oompany shall be administered
by a board of thirty-five direotorswho
shall estimate fair ootton prices, and
endeavor to have them maintained.
The management of the oonoern Is to
ereot storage warehouses, and oonduot
buying, holding and selling. The par
value of the stock is to be $2 per share
opening membership to small ?s well
as large planters, members of the
Southern Cotton Association, and
others. Should the directors believe
ootton to be worth more than the
Wall street prloe It will pay such price
regardless of the so-called market value
and hold the produot for a rise.
After dlsousslng and amending In
some respects the plaD for organization,
It was decided to defer final action
on the project until the next
meeting of the executive oommlttee,
to be held In January.
Backs Hearst.
Fred Oakes, a New York ourb
broker, offered Saturday to bet $1,000
against $10,000 that Hearst will be
mayor of New York within a year.
He had , been commissioned to
plaoe the wager, Mr. Oakes said, and
believed that the offer would remain
open for several days. There was no
taker Saturday. Mr. Oakes would
not disolose the name of his principal,
but said that he was a man who believed
that the attorney-general-elect
would have the ballot boxes opened
and prove that Hearst beat'McGlellan
a year ago.
The Delaware, Lackawanna &

The imidI visit of several eottoo
mill men of Lancashire, England, lo
the United States lo apparently about
to bear fruit ao the following statement
Issued by the department of
oommeroe and labor will show:
"A sequel to the Washington ootton
conference and tbe visit of tbe
Lancashire manufactures to this
eountry last spring Is the proposed
Investment of Lancashire capital, In
the rasing of American ootton. Wc
are Informed that two Lancashire
manufacturers will arrive in the United
Stales with In a few weeks and
complete arrangements for the purchase
and management of a large ootton
plantation in the South, probably
In Teaas. The plan is to adopt the
most Improved methods of cultivation,
ginning and balling, and to ship the
ootton dlreot to the Lancashire mills
oontroled by the promoters. There is
said to be ample capital back of the
enterprise.
It Is to be hoped it is said In England
that this venture by English
manufacturers will be entirely suooessful.
1 Its suooess will mean muoh for
the ootton trade. MWe have had a
surfeit of preoept they aay as to the
evils thAt. nnnrpna ah a nnt.tstn
and their remedies, all to no purpose.
The evils have grown greater, and
those responsible for them have treated
all protests with contempt. What
we need now is an example. The example
of a large plantation In the
South, produomg cotton properly
baled abd shipped to Lancashire and
there rcoelved in good order at the
mills wouid mark the beginning of the
end of the present disgraceful methods
of baling American ootton. The existing
oomblne of gloners that blocks
all attempts by planters and manufactures
to improve conditions might
for a time resist even the Influence of
good example, but eventually they
would be forced to adopt the improved
processes. It may be safely assumed
that the present methods of
preparing ootton for market cannot
exist permanently along of right
methods. The sormer have oontlnued
because all American ootton has been
and Is baled in an equally bad way. 1
"The lnfluenoe of such a plantation :
on the other evils that i 111 lot the cot- j
ton trade are not equally evident.
'IMw ?... I- ?? J L. I . ... 1
j-ucic is uu uuuut, nuwever, duc tnat '
such lafluenoe would be entirely for j
good. A large and well managed oot- ,
ton plantotlon, owned by ootton mauu
faoturers, producing ootton for the
mills of Its owners, forming a component
part of one complete industry,
might not eliminate the speculator
from the ootton market, but it could
not fail to indloite to the manufao
turer a refuge from the speculator'h 1
attacks."
The commission that Is ooming
here to make purchases will in all
probability go over much of the same 1
ground as that covered by the former 1
commission when it toured the South
and Southwest in quest of good oot- j
ton landB. Their route will probably
take them through North and South
Carolina and the other ootton grow
lng states east of the Mlsslstippl river, 1
with their final survey in Texas.
While the object of the commission '
will primarily be to secure land for
cotton-growing, it is said that there
is a possibility of some large mills be
lng ereoted by them, should the oon
ditlons prove favorable. It is known '
that some of the members of the first 1
oommlsion discussed the mill-building '
projeot with men in the different
sections through whioh they passed
and that the amount of dividends declared
annually by some of the mills (
in the South struok them with considerable
foroe. (

U bt C. MUliomn Pardoned* ,

great many people on the street. A t
Winchester rifle was used, and the ^
whole affair was a spectacular way c
of avenging what Mlilloan deolare* \
was an improper proposal to his sis- \
ter. The State says the pardon wav c
granted upon petition of the jury and s
rcoommcndatlon of Judge Dantzler
and Solicitor Sease. It appears that
the jury brought in a verdict of guilty
with the understanding that Mlllican q
was guilty, technically, but that the c
solicitor would reooommend a pardon.
Mr. Stenyarne Wilson of SDart&n*
burg was here yesterday and urged
this mattor upon the attention of
Gov. Hey ward. The pardon is grant
ed on the grounds of humanity urged
by the members of the Jury. Milliken,
when oonvloted, entered an

abandoned the appeal.

County wee visited by the
fire fiend early Friday morning, and
one of the main business bloeks was
completely destroyed. The value of
the property destroyed Is estimated
at from $76,000 to $100,000. The insurance
approximates about one-half
of this amount.
The fire originated in the home of
Mr. M. L. Posey, Just above his store.
It was not discovered until the flames
were beyond oontrol. The alarm was
qulekly given, but before the hastily
awakened Inhabitants of Springfield
oould reach the spene the entire building,
a wooden one, was in dames.
The bucket brigade, the only pro
teetlon against fire whloh the town
sffords, did everything poeslble to
oneok the Hemes, but so intense was
the heat tnat the adjoining building
to the right was quickly ablaze, and
not long afterwards the one on the
left also. The fire continued its work
of destruction until the entire block
was in ashes. Ouiy by the most desperate
c ft jtib was the first store on
the next block saved. Fortun fcely the
wind was not blowing.
Among the buildings burned were
the following: M. L. Posey's store
and resldenoe, L. B. Fulmer's general
merchandise store; L. B. Fulmer's
furniture store, barn and ware house;
H. B. Fulmer's milinary and dry
goods store; A. D. Fulmer's store,
barn and resldenoe; a two-story building,
between A. D. Fulmer's and H.
B. Fulmer's, used as a storage place.
The whole block on the front side is
burned to the ground.
