Washington, Aug. 23.?Joseph Trav is Johnson represents the Fourth South Carolina district In the lower house of congress. Ife has heen in j harness since the Fifty-seventh con gress and he has learned a great deal since he eaine here. He is now a ineinebr of the committee on appro priat ions. If there Is one thing that the South Carolina representative knows more about than anything else, it Is the question of cotton production and its manufaucture, From the Piedmont district of South Carolina where the fleecy staple is not only grown lux uriantly, luit where the smoke from a hundred mills may be easily seen, he is thoroughly familiar with all that pertains to the welfare of the giower and the manufacturer. Must Break Away. In a few words. Mr. Johnson be lieves that the cotton people will never secure entire Independence un til they break away from the strong grasp of the trusts which now hold them. "What our people need." Mr. John son said today, "is not a change in the present tariff laws or. in fact, a change In laws of any kind; but a more businesslike insigln into the whole question. There are a few sim ple propositions which strongly ap peal to me. Take, for instance, the building of cotton mills in the South. What do we find? The New England machinery makers subscribe for a certain proportion of the capital stock of the mills. Then what? They do not pay money. They put in their ma chinery at a big profit, take so many shares in payment therefor, and then, because (hey have already made a tre mendous profit on their machinery they are able to unload their stock at less than par. Any one with a thim bleful of sense can sei what the effect of this is to the owners of the stock who have paid real money lor it. That is one thing. Now. what el so? Un doubtedly tin- manufacturers of cotton goods in the South are losing thous ands of dollors every year because they will submit to blindly follow the old plan of selling their product through the middlemen In the largo cities of the Fast. What is the effect of this? I Simply this: The maker of the goods pays enormous amounts In tho form of commissions to the concern In Boston or New York for selling his goods, while he has absolutely no idea where his products go. Is this good busi ness? is it good business policy for any man. whether he Is a farmer, mer chant, manufacturer, or one engaged in any other line of business, to have only one customer? That is exactly the situation which confronts our cot ton manufacturers today. Cut Out Middleman. "Such men as Parker. Smyth. August W. Smith, and other well known in the cotton trade of South Carolina, would undoubtedly largely increase both their sales and profits if they would ngree to cut out the Kastern middleman and find custom ers among the people who actually use the goods. 1 know it to be a fact today that many large concern have no idea where the stuff they buy and sell conies from. Now. if one of these gentlemen would simply lind out win. their customers are anil go to them and show what they make, what an enormous amount of money would be snVed. There are concerns in the East which today nro not manufacturing goods but buying those made in the South and Illilshl them at their plant becnuse they can buy our products cllOftpcr than f! can manufacture thorn, And y 1 Southern mills tire pot prosporoti . ! there not a lesson in this Wo do liol m i d a tariff readjustment. We n I a liberal nppl lent ion of com in I sense." I?. II. McO. In The Sli I . Sfnto of Ohio. City of Toledo, i.ucas County Frank J. Cheney makes oath (hi he is o senior partner of the firm oi F. j.

('. Cop. land. Jr.. Administrator. Aug* st 21, 1011.- 1-fit CONDITION OF CHOPS. Mr. Jarcd D. Sullivan has sent in to this office a letter appertaining to the condition of the crops in this sec tion. Mr. Sullivan finds that the pros pects a' o very discouraging, both as to cotton and to corn. The following is Mr. Sullivan's letter: As there have been so many repents of bumper cotton crops, even to the first report said to have been gotten out by the Washington otllce without the knowledge of Secretary Wilson, j I think it only right to now give a statement of the tacts regarding the crop condition as seen by mo and from information gathered from others. The best yield of coin will not ex ceed three fifths, the balance not more than one third and the cotton crop. 1 couldn't s?J for certain, will not be as many bales as last year. For the last week there has been a wonderful deterorntion, on account of the drougth The oldest cotton has about quit blooming and is turning yellow. The younger cotton has commenced to put its young fruit In the middle. I can't see any signs for a bumper crop, I look for li\ing for another year to be very high The fact is I have seen very little normal crops this year. This has been the dryest year that I have ever seen. All observing people can hear me out in that statement. Hut let us think. Wlyit have we been getting out of our gardens and what poor prospects we have for fall gardens. The agricultural papers are telling us of the advance of two and three cents a pound on beef on account of the dry weather In the South This shows, in itself, that the season has been exceptionally dry and that oth ers besides the cotton growers are he ilig affected We can see on tho countenances of men n depression and gloom on ac count of the crops they know they j will harvest. We ought to bo careful and not put our cotton on the market too fast. Jarcd l>. Sullivan.
