' COTTON OUTLOOK
ONLY 67.1 PER CENT
CROP TWO WEEKS LATE AND
HAS DISEASED ROOT?NO
TAP ROOT
Last Saturday the American Cotton
Association gave out the follow- _
ing statement:
"The government report shows
67.1 per cent The American Cotton
Association report shows 67 percent
this report being the only correct
report issued of all private reports.
"The association is in receipt of a
flood of telegrams from every section
of the country, and every phase
of cottoD trade, from the producer
to the manufacturer, asking for detail
information. It being absolutely
impossible to reply to Tul of these
inquiries, however, the following
statement was issuea:
In Poor Condition
"The general trade has no conception
of the condition of the growing
^ crop. Tt is two or four weeks late; it
' has a cuseased root system, no tap
root; has less fruit than has ever
been known in the last twenty-five
years. Even with ideal seasons and
without insect damage and a late
frost only a moderate crop can be
made. With adverse seasons we are
facing a crop calamity. On account
of the sa~~v condition of the crop,
, . the lateness of same and the above
conditiras it offers an inviting field
? to insect damage. Caterpillars would
v '? bring a complete crop disaster. With
either adverse seasons or insect damn
age there would be more suffering
kt ? on account of the need of raw cotton j
* than lesulted in England during the
Civil War. In reply to inquiries coneerni.iir
suudIv. cotton experts are
now ..orking on the cost of production,
supply and demand. With the I
information before us we find that
t the cost of production will be at
least one-third more than last year.
? Profit for Producer
"A menimura price will be set,
based upon supply and demand, that
will bring to the producer a profit in j
line with the profits being made by
the manufacturers who are buying
cotton at the present prices and are I
4 jnanufacturing it into cloth and
* yarn. The manufacturer who postpones
buying cotton under these conditions
will find that he has adopted
an extremely poor business policy.
rHe will never live to see the day
when he will have the opportunity
of buying cotton as cheap "as the
prices row prevailing. The minimum
prices of the American Cotton Association
will be far in excess of the
present prices. Beyond the question
of a doubt the cost of production has
greatly increased.
Preliminary Report
The American Cotton Association
ia now making a preliminary condition
report, showing conditions of
cotton since July 25 up to date. This
condition indicated a still further
deterioration. Under these conditions
it would be absolutely impossible,
with even normal weather conditions
and without insect damage from now;
on, to produce a crop in excess of
10,000,000 bales. The demand from
the world for raw cotton will be the;
greatest ever known. It will exceed
supplies now on hand plus the yield
from the growing crop under normal
conditions by about 9,000,000 bales.
Where will this cotton come from ?!
The spinners found when it was too'
late they could not spin an imaginary
surplus of long staple cotton. We
state most positively that long sta
pie cotton the world over has beeD
absolutely exhausted. The manufacturers
have an enormous amount of
goods sold, based upon being able to
buy long staple cotton. This places
them in a dilemma as the purchasers
refuse to cancel. They can blame
* * none except themselves.
Concerning Short Staples
Concerning short staple cotton:,
? Included in the amount of short sta-;
, pie cotton carried over on August 1, |
is an enormous amount of bolls which
are worthless and in addition to this
an enormous amount of rotten cotton.
Our experts show the amount
of rotten cotton is the largest on
record. In addition to this-people are
being confused by these figures,not!
realizing that they include linters
and regiems. A man who actually
has spinnable cotton, if he sells it at
present prices, is a living illustration
of a fool and his money parting. Two
of the leading manufacturers in the
cotton trade have just informed me
that they can use cotton, basis middling
at from seventy to seventy
five cents per pound and make a
profit. In addition to this, one of the
leading manufacturers informs me,
"I have decided to accept your judgment.
I feel convinced that you are
correct, that a man who has short
October cotton occupies a very dangerous
position, that for the first
time ever known in this cotton trade
those who hedge their cotton on the
exchange are faced with the certain%ty
of enormous losses. The purchasers
of these contracts for the fiitttime
will refuse to cancel. They will
* 1 * * ?*~j?? a ?au'
demand wnite couuu uuuci Ulc
ruling. They will take this action
because they know that there will be
a great shortage.
In reply to the question being
asked in every section what will be
the minimum price set by the American
Cotton Association for the growing
crop? Our prices for cotton in
the South before this time next year
will be the highest price paid since
the Civil War. Sentiment throughout
the South is similar to what it was
g ' just prior to the sixties.
"The organization of the AroeriL
can Cotton Association is an assumed
fact. It will be the biggest and ;
most powerful association in America.
It will give the farmer the privi- ^
lege of naming the price of his prod- ^
uct. It will enable him to sell his j 0
cotton at a profitable price. It will y
destroy the manipulations which have %
brought proverty and illiteracy to n
the South, which has in fact blight- n
ed the entire South. These gentle- a
men realize that their doom is approaching
and for this reason are a
making a desperate fight." ^

Europe's Present Condition
We have not reached a settlement,
ut only a basis of settlement with j
lermany, provided we, her conquer- j
rs, stand united for the next fifteen
ears, provided we agree to use
orce, if necessary, to compel Gerlan
compliance with her promises,
lade under duress, repudiated in
dvance.
In the meantime the alliance
gainst Germany has not stood the!
est of the Paris Conference unshak- >
n. The Italians have all but left the
onference. Italy has shown in every
onceivable fashion her dissatisfacion
with the results so far reached,
'rench and Italian soldiers have
lashed in .Fiume. Italian journals
ave united in the most savage critiism
of President Wilson, welcomed
l Italy a lew monms uyu as nu man ,
as been welcomed since Italy beam
e a nation.
Those of us who were in Paris
aw develop the Italian dissatisfac- j
ion and the equally bitter Japanese
esentment against the three nations;
hich were dominating the Peace
inference. Of the five great powers
ntil recently united in the common
truggle against the German, two |
ave already drifted verjr far from >
fieir old allies. As a matter of fact;
fae old alliance has ceased to exist.
"here are left now only the United
tates, Britain, and France.
Nor is it less plain that forces are
twork still further to extend the
isintegration. In the United States
ublic opinion is being deliberately
nd successfully stirred against
ireat Britain, against France, and
ven more successfully in ? the direcion
of a return to the old policy of!
iolation, which, if adopted, would [

Saluda Baptist Will Raise $477,500 j
Greenville, August 7.?The Saluda
Baptist association will raise and
oversubscribe its quota of $477,500,
in the Baptist 75 million campaign, j
according to a resolution adopted at
the annual meeting of the association
Wednesday at Long Branch
church, in Anderson County.
The Saluda association is the
largest of the thirty-eight Baptist
associations in South Carolina. It
comprises nearly fifty churches, covering
the larger part of Anderson
county. Thl last day of the annual
meeting was devoted exclusively to
discussion of plans for the Baptist
campaign, which is to be made November
30 to December 7, during
which time South Carolina Baptists
will be called upon to give and subscribe
five and a half millions.
The coming campaign was discuss-1
ed by Dr. W. J. McGlothlin, Presi-.'
dent of Furman University, and
State organizer for the campaign:'
by Dr. John E. White, president of
Anderson College; by Rev. Thomas
J. White, publicity director, and by
a number of Anderson pastors. Approximately
5,000 people from all
parts of the association territory
were present, and much enthusiasm
for the coming campaign was manifest.
The Saluda association is the first
of the State Baptist associations to
meet for the discussion of campaign
plans, and it is expected that its enthusiasm
and confidence will be;
transmitted to other associations of i
the state. Meetings of the other associations
of the state will be held
during the next few weeks, and all
of them will devote a portion of
their program to the discussion of
plans for the coming campaign.

WAGE QUESTION
MUST BE SETTLED
FOURTEEN LABOR BODIES ACTING
AS UNIT THREATEN
NATION-WIDE STRIKE
Washington, Aug. 6.?Acting as a
unit for the first time in the presentation
of wage demands, the fourteen
principal railroad uniops today,
n expressing to Director General, %
Hines their disapproval of President
Wilson's proposal to consider ipcreassd
pay, declared that wage questions
must be settled immediately.
A general program to meet tne
present crisis, involving the threat
>f a nation-wide strike, was submitted
to the director general. It was
suggested that the money to provide
increased pay should come from an t
appropriation by Congress, to be followed
by appropriate freight rate advances.
This "temporary relief must
be accomplished by a determined effort
to reduce the cost of living.
Permanent solution of the railroad
problem was declared to depend upon
the removal of returns to capital as
the sole purpose of operation, and
the director general, accordingly,
was asked to recommend to President
Wilson that he attempt to obtain
early passage by Congress of
organized labor's bill to eliminate
private capital from control of the
rial roads and to give the employees ? a
share in the profits. The union declared
the belief of the workers that
transportation rates should be sufficient
to guarantee just wages, mainL- ?
it- l:? I ?
lain me properties aim ^ivc
returns on money invested.
Interesting as were the sugges- _
tions for removing the menace of a
nation-wide strike, the unified action
of the fourteen organizations attracted
equal attention. Labor^ leaders
who were questioned declined to
say whether the unions would act as
a whole in the future, but declared
that they were going through with
the present situation as the body.
Die result will be to put the solid
weight of 2,000,000 persons, virtually
the entire rail transportation personnel
of the United States, back of
the demands, with the possibility as
never before of the paralysis of the
nation's life if a general strike y?^
should ensue ' - \:

SITftAR TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Will Be Issued To People Of State
For Canning Purposes
* ?
Columbia, August 5.?A carload
Df sugar will be distributed from
Columbia to the people of the State
at cost, in the near future. Governor
Cooper this afternoon received a
telegram from the Louisiana Sugar
Commission, New Orleans, stating
that fifteen cars of fine granulated
sugar would be distributed among
fifteen states in the South. After
taking the matter up with R. J. Blalock,
mayor of Columbia, the governor
ordered the sugar, which will be
distributed to the Columbia city
government. The price will be $8.28
per hundred pounds f. o. b. New Orleans,
which will bring it into Columbia
fnr cHchtlv under nine cents a
pound. The governor suggested that
the sugar be utilized for canning
purposes. The following is the wire
to the governor: ^ _
"The government, through the
United States Equalization Board*
suggests that the sugar be placed at
points where it is most needed fyr
Eruit preserving purposes. We have
