Mr. David A. Clark, editor of the American Textile Manufacturer, of Charlotte, is an optimist, as witness the following appeal he makes to Southern newspapers: “There is no fundamental reason why we should not have a return of prosperity to the cotton manufactur ing industry. Crops are the largest ever known, money is plentiful and we hear on every side of revival of business in the other industries. “The only thing radically wrong and needed to bring prosperity to the mills is the lack of confidence of buyers and with this end in view we ask you to co-operate with us in re* storing confidence and sowing the seeds of optimism and prosperity. "The cotton crop now being marketed will bring $800,000,000 to the South, which means an immense purchasing power and if we can re store confidence so that our people will become large purchasers of cot ton goods the other parts of the coun try will soon follow suit and the books of our mills will be filled with orders. “Good business to the eotton mills means higher prices for cotton and Increased prosperity to every man and woman in the South. The habit ual calamity howler we always have with us, but we believe that much of the pessimistic news which is being sent out is by those whose interest is against the return of prosperity to Southern cotton mills. “We do not ask you to publish any thing which is not true, but we do ask that you pick out the optimistic news and make it your practice not to publish or send out anything of an unfavorable nature. “If the entire press of the South will joii\ us in this movement we be lieve that confidence can be created and a spirit of optimism spread abroad which v~”! mean prosperity in its fullest form.’’ And Mr. Clarke is right. There is nothing to be gained by being a calamity howler. This is God’s favor ed spot and if we do not appreciate It the fault is ours. Tell the truth, but be a booster. NOTSB AND COMMENT* Now that the election is over let everybody get down to business and bury any feeling which may have been engendered by the various con tests. After all it is probable that everything has happened for the best. • • • Hon. Jno. Gary Evans telegraphed Ms congratulations to Hon. E. D. Smith and expressed the hope that he would make good in the Senate. It is the opinion of numbers of peo ple that the hope implied a doubt of the distinguished gentleman’s ability to so make good. • • • We never see a building and loan advertisement but what we think of what a blessing the originator of the plan has been to mankind. He has enabled thousands to live in their own homes that never could have oc cupied anything but a rented house but for the idea. He has caused mil lions to become savers that other wise would never have saved a dol lar. We don’t know who he was but he was a benefactor and we honor his memory. We have three institu tions of this character in Cherokee, each and every one of them sound and would advise every boy or girl, or every man and woman to take some shares in one or the other. It’s the poor man’s bank. • • • It’s funny how another man’s Ideas will sometimes dove-Tail with your own. We could not have expressed our belief better than the following which we take from the Bamberg Herald: At one time the editor of this news paper did not believe a Democrat could be elected president this year, no matter wether the nominee was Bryan, Johnson or Gray. But as the campaign progresses, we have begun to think that Bryan’s chances are good. Reports from all over the country give encouraging assurances of Democratic success, and we be lieve Bryan will be the next presi dent. At least we earnestly hope so, and all indications point that way. • • • The Carnegie Steel Company, The Illinois Steel Company, The Republic Iron & Steel Company, The Pennsyl vania Steel Company, and other pro minent iron and steel concerns, and about 100 other leaders in every line of manufacturing interests, in special telegrams give their views on the business conditions present and prospective in this week's Issue of the Manufacturers’ Record. This great symposium Is Invaluable to •ve?y business man desiring to know he views of the foremost business men of the country. Its publication s illustrative of the character and nfluence of the Manufacturers’ Re ord, “the most national of American business papers.” PERSONAL PARAGRAPH* Floyd Ross and Charlie Robbs have returned to Clemson College.

Airship Wizard Circles Above Fort Myer Parade Grounds. Washington, Sept. 9.—Orville Wright in three phenomenal flights at Fort Myer today established new aeroplane records that not only as sured the success of official trials be fore the army board, but indicate that aerial flight is now only a mat ter of development. Two flights of approximately one hour each, anoth er flight in which tw’o men were whirled through the air for upward of six minutes were achievements of ♦ he Wright Brothers aeroplane today. The first flight made this morning, in which the machine circled the drill- ground at Fort Myer fifty-seven minutes and thirty-one seconds, was surpassed this evening when a flight of sixty-two minutes and fifteen sec onds was made. Not satisfied with breaking all distance and time re cords, for heavier than air flying ma chines. Wright took Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm. aeronaut of the sig nal corps, for a spin around the drill- crounds, and making a new record for a two man flight. The morning flight was witnessed by only a handful of enthusiasts but fully a thousand people gathered to see the afternoon event. When Wright saw he remained aloft for over an hour, the time required in order for him to fulfill his contract with the government, he made for “Mother Earth,” swooping down in a sort of “bump the bumps'’ fashion, raising a cloud of dust as the areo- plane which weighs nearly a thous and pounds came to a stop within 20 feet of the crowd. SENATOR LED MOB. A Mississippi Statesman Makes Rabid Statement. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 9.—A special from Oxford, Miss., quotes United States Senator W. V. Sullivan, as fol lows, with reference to lynching last night: “I led the mob which lynched Nelse Patton, and I’m proud of it; I did everything I could to see that he was lynched. He cut a white wo man’s throat, and of course, I wanted him lynched. When I heard of his horrible crime, I started immediately to get a mob. I did all I could to raise one. I was at the jail last night and heard Judge Roane advise against lynching. I got up and urged the mob to lynch Patton. I aroused the mob and directed them to storm the Jail. I had my revolver, but did not use It. I gave It to a deputy sheriff and told him to shoot Patton. I don’t care what investigation is made, or, what are its consequences. I am. willing to stand them. I will lead a mob in such case any time.” TRACK 18 REPAIRED. A subscription Is being taken up among members of the New York cotton exchanges for the relief of the Augusta flood sufferers.
