WARNING TO FARMERS.
?Do Not Be Fooled Ont of Your Cotton
Now
Atlanta, October 25.-Farmers and
^aaerchants of the South are warned
..against cotton buyers who are now
busy at many interior^ points trying
to induce spot holders to sell them
.their cotton at market prices and
?-agreeing to pay any additional ad?
vance that may accrue within the next
.^saxty or ninety days. If you deliver
tip your cotton on that basis and the
buyers get enough of the staple in
'their hands to fill their orders there
3s but little chance for the market to
-.advance. The only way to force an
-.advance quickly is to refuse to part
"with the cotton until satisfactory
^prices are offered. No middling cotton
-should be sold at interior points for
less than ll cents per pound. The
?crop is short and all who hold will be
?rewarded as they should be.
Again, don't send your cotton to lo
oal mills on the promise of settlement
-*at any time within the next few
inonths. With the staple in the hands
.?of the spinners prices can never ad?
vance,
Again, notify warehouse men to
"whom you ship your cotton for stor
=*age that under no circumstances must
Zyour cotton be loaned or sold to ex?
porters cr buyers on any sort of trade
or contract until you are ready to sell
All kinds of tricks and devices ars
"being resorted to now by buyers and
-spinners to induce farmers to part
Vrith their cotton. Every man who is
3ed into any of these trades is unwit?
tingly playing into the hands of the
^buyers and against his own interest
-and that of his neighbors.
Hold your cotton like grim death.
^T?e up the spot market and stand firm
tor higher prices and the victory will
soon be yours and the continued pros?
perity of the South assured.

Rapid Deal in Steel.
The methods' employed in business j
to catch trade in the city of New
York have in many cases to be practi?
cally instantaneous. The following
incident is an illustration:
Last Monday morning- a steel bro- !
ker learned from a personal in a
Hartford paper that the head of a
great horseshoe manufacutring estab?
lishment in that city was going to
Chicago to close contracts for next
year's consumption of steel. The bro
ker telephoned Hartford and learned
that the manufacturer would start for
New York at 12 o'clock, and would
take the Lake Shore Limited for Chi?
cago the same day at 5 o'clock.
The broker then telegraphed the
Pennsylvania steel works at Pittsburg
for an option of 24 hours on 25.000
tons of steel. He received an answer
that the company's Mr? Martin was
due in the New York offices at 1:30
o'clock that day. having left Pitts?
burg the night before, and to see him.
The steel broker found Mr. Martin at
2 o'clock and secured the desired op?
tion. At 4 o'clock he met the Hart"
ford man at the Grand Centra] sta?
tion, made an offer, which was ac?
cepted for 2r,.iiOii tons, went into the
Manhattan Hotel and wrote duplicate
agreements and started the Hartford
man back home, quite content with
his purchase. The steel broker was
satisfied, too. His sale amounted to
$75,000. The two men knew each
other only by sight.
British Journal ism of Today.
To sum up, ire publishing news?
paper business in Great Britain have
undergone a transformation in the
past twenty years. The masses have
gone in, and old ideals and fashions
have had to give way to their im?
perious demands. Nor is the end yet
in sight. The one certan thing is that
the purely propagandist daily has
gone. For the rest, we are still pass?
ing through a transitional stage, of
which the only encouraging sign is the
evidence of growing distaste for the
"snippety" weeklies.
One incident Of the revolution in
British journalism has been the ais
appearance of individual forces. Brit?
ish journalism, like that of France,
was once rich in individuality-that is
certain men on both sides of politics
stood out like land marks. British
newspapers now rely less and less on
j individuals. They have neither the
space nor the inclination to allow
men to achieve individual distinction.
A dozen names might be mentioned at
the present time of men who, in their
day, had a commanding place in the
British press, but who have now no
fit arena for their abilities. Mr. E. T.
Cook, an accomplished scholar and a
profound politician; Mr. T. P. O'Con?
nor, one of the most vivid writers of
the day; Mr. W. H. Massingham, who
formerly edited the Daily Chronicle;
and Mr. W. T. Stead, at whose nod
ministries used to tremble in the old
Pall Mall Gazette days-all these men
were great forces, who at one time en?
riched and enlivened British journal?
ism. Today strength, as typified ?n
these famous journ?lists, is "mourn?
fully denied its arena." Not one of
them as in control of a daily newspa?
per. The new newspapers have no
room for one commanding individual?
ity. "What they require are smart,
resourceful men. They may be with
? out any solid talents, but if they have
I brightness and versatility much will
? be forgiven them. The newspapers,
i
like nature, has become careless of
the single life. Moreover, the in?
creasing costliness of newspaper pro?
duction has made capital dominant.
The Steads, the Massinghams, the
O'Connors, and the Cooks have had
to give way before the power of the
purse. This power is wielded by men
who, without anything like the indi?
vidual brilliancy of the great journal?
ists, have yet an instinct for business
amounting almost to genius. In short,
the smart business man has driven
out the conscientious exponent of
great principles, the apostle of for?
lorn causes, the artist in prose. The
English daily newspaper is in dan?
ger of degenerating into a mere trade'
worked in the same way, and by much
the same methods, as a depratment
store.-Review of Reviews.
COMMITTEES AT WORK
For the Fall Festival and Live Stock
Show.
The committee in charge of the
Sumter Fall Festival and Live Stock
Show has commenced work in earnest.
Hearty encouragement has been met"
with on all sides, and it appears as If
more interest will be manifested in
the project for the benefit of thc
Sumter Light Infantry than was dis?
played in last year's similar under?
taking.
The details of the week of pleasure
will be announced as soon as the
plans are finally consummated; there
will not be a lot of promises and no
fulfillments, for whatever the mana?
gers of the Festival promise in the
way of amusements will appear upon
the programme.
A committee of gentlemen will visit
the influential business and profes?
sional men of the city this afternoon
to solicit contributions, and they will
continue in their efforts to raise funds
until a sufficient amount is raised to
insure the success of the Festival. Ev?

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Letter From One ol' the Consulting
Engineers is Encouraging.
Washington, October 25.-Isham
Randolph, one of the members of the
board of consulting engine?rs for the
Panama Canal, has written a letter to
Zina R. Carter, president of the sani?
tary district of Chicago, in which he
discusses canal conditions. The Isth?
mian Canal commission made the let?
ter public today. Mr. Randolph says
he expects the canal to be completed
before 1915. The work of preparation
he says is going on speedily and when
the equipment is on hand and the or?
ganization perfected at least 24,000
men will be required on the canal.
Much of the present labor is worth?
less because the demand is larger
than the supply. The application of
the eight-hour system to the canal,
he regards as a lamentable mistake
and will add about 25 per cent to th-j
cost of labor. Mr. Randolph says the
whole line is "cluttered up with aban
doned French machinery," which
cost about $30,000,000 and is now
valueless. He declares that any
statement foreshadowing the report
of the consulting engineer can be sei
down as the manufacture of news
mongers."
Mr. Randolph has recently returned
from a visit to Panama with othei*
members of the board, and his opin?
ions are interesting, and in view of
the publication of the letter by the
commission, may te considered semi
official. In the course of his letter
Mr. Randolph says:
"What we know is that it can be
done; that Americans can do it; and
that in as short a time as so stupen?
dous an undertaking can te pu*:
through. We db know that almost
limitless resources await the demand
of the builders; that the builder.;
represent the highest grade of Amer?
ican engineering talent, led on by a
man whose record of accomplishment
is 'but the earnest of the things that
he shall do.' Hence we may reasona?
bly look for. the passage of the great
ocean freighters from the Carribbear.
to the Pacific before our calendar?
are headed 1915. How much before,
this deponent sayeth not. This is no
easy triumph for the builders, who
must contend with and overcome dif"
Acuities not encountered in our tem
perate zone."
Mr. Randolph speaks highly of tho
food provided for the workmen, and
says the hospitals are a just source of
pride.
