From the State.
l>r W. W. Ray. a member from
this State of the* executive committee
of the Southern Cotton association,
has returned from Jackson, Miss.,
where the committee met to name
the minimum price which farmers will
be expected to take fur cotton.
It has already been published that
the committee holds out for 16 cents
per pound minimum. In talking* of
the matter yesterday, (Dr.*Ray said tb
The State:
"In response tc a call for a meet?
ing of the executive committee of the
Southern Cotton Association, I left
Columbia on Tuesday morning, the
Id. at 7.25. ,
"r examined, as well as I could from
?
the cars, tihe cotton and corn crops
from Columbia 'to Atlanta. These
crops I found4*to be exceedingly poor,
burnt up by the sun and rust showed
considerably until. I reached Spartan
burg. There I saw a few cropsavhich
were good, but the balance of the way
to Atlanta the crops were away below
the average. In consequences of great
drought. I saw nothing of the crop
from Atlanta to Birmingham In con?
sequence of darkness. But early next
morning I began to Inspect the crop
as we left Birmingham, and as far as
I could see from the train the cotton
and corn crops throughout Alabama
and, Mississippi were exceedingly poor,
ss a result of the same causes which
affected the crops of South Carolina
and Georgia. ' , j
"I reached Jackson, Miss., on Wed?
nesday afternoon. The next morning
the executive committee of the South?
ern Cotton Association held a session
In the Knights of Pytrfias hall In
Jackson. We had a good attendance.
I was very* much Impressed with the
personnel of ths committee?men of
high character^ conservative. In their
views and with no desire to make
false statements of the condition of the
crops. They evinced to my mind the
greatest'tiere and painstaking In com?
ing to thein conclusions; they seemed
to have gone over the ground In their
e
several States very carefully. After
comparing notes the committee, by a
largo majority, decided that the com?
ing crop would not be over 12,000,000
hales?luaa.OOO *t the <***ttdd*v
"South Carol.na.reported conditions
about 10 to 15 per cent better than
last year; Georgia reported about thr
same conditions as) last year; Alabama
reported conditions about 25 to 30 per
cent, less than last year; Mississippi
reported the crop materially less than
Isst yesr. as a result of imperfect ,
stands, having to plant over as many
as four tlnfes, and m a great many In- i
stances lots of the fields had to4 be
abandoned, as the cotton failed . to
come up; ? the same conditions pre?
vailed in Louisiana; Texas reported
that they will he at least 1.000,000*
bales or more shorter than last year,
on account of the ravages of the boll
weevil, also a lot of the cotton *<dld not
eome up. The area In eotton was
much less than that of last year,. In
consequence of the cotton not coming
up. In Arkansas they reported cotton
In the bottom lands as being in good
condition; cotton n the hill lands was
poor, having suffered very much from
want of rain and in consequence of
runt. Tennessee*' reported a rcJuctlon
from last year. The Indian Territory
and Oklahoma were not represented.
"The committee, by a decisive rote,
stood for lf? cents as the minimum
price of cotton. They tlgnk that ih*1
conditions warrant them In thls^re
mand. The editor of The Cotton Jour?
nal wrote an artlelo In The Journal
saying that 16 cent* should he the
price under existing circumstances
and an article appe ired in The Manu?
facturer' Recosd commenting upon
the urtljcle aforesaid, sustaining the
position taken by The Cotton Journal.
"The committee- also stood f>r $20
per ton as the minimum price for cot?
ton seed. A member of the com?
mittee who was a practical oil man
and an oil mill owner said that this
price was not exorbitant- but, In fact,
was a Just and fair one.
"I am satisfied that this committee
Is an excellent body of men, acting
with the proper spirit, with no desire
to unnecessarily advance'the market,
and It Is their firm conviction and be?
lief that the cotton crop will not ex?
ceed the estimate made, and under
existing circumstances tl cents is not
a larg" price for our cotton.

CHARLESTON* LIQUOR SEIZED.
Polier Make ltuid on Depots ami Go!
Liquor?Agents Strenuously. ob?
jected.
Charleston, Sept. 18.-? Interesting
developments came today In the li?
quor seizures on a large scale, which
captures were started yesterday by a
giant raid on the Southern Express
company's ottice. where five wagon
loads of stuff were seized.
At 10 o'clock this morning Acting
Chief Dunn started out with a large
squad of men to the freight depot of
I the Southern railroad on Ann street.
He pulled out his warrant, authoriz?
ing him to seize any Illicit liquor
found on the premises. He and his
men searched all over the warehouses
and discovered a large Amount of
stuff. Several cases of high quality
whiskey, five large kegs of bulk liquor,
many barrels of Milwaukee beer
and other contraband goods- were
found. *
But the prize haul t>f the day was
made at the freight depot of the At?
lantic Coast Line. *
Just after the midday posting of
patrolmen at 1 o'clock the chief sent
out an order for the raiding squad
to report. In a rush the wagon went
to Chapel street to the depot of the
Atlantic Coast Line. Again Chief
Dunn showed his warrant under the
noses of the agents of the railroad
corporation. The search that follow?
ed was the most profitable yet. A
rich capture gladdened the p*ollce and
saddened the railroad people. The
"seizures amounted to the fancy num?
ber of 38 cases of excellent liquor,
most of it being "bottled in bond." A
small amount of other liquor was ta?
ken. It took' two wagons to haul the
booze from the Southern and three
wagons to remove it from ttie toast
?
Line.
The agent of the Atlantic' Coast
Line was hot when the police fgok
charge of some ltquor that had been
unclaimed and was the, property of
the road fpg freight and storage
charges?"ole hpss stuff" the rail?
road people call it. The agent re?
monstrated with Lieut. Dunn to leave
that non-blind - tiger liquor alone.
"The railroad must gets its money
out of that whiskey and you 'ought to*
leave It here," he said. But the lieu?
tenant couldn't see It that way and
had the liquor carted off with the
other.
Tust bet?re ths rrnpon got to the
freight depot the railroad had beer;
lucky enough to get a whole car?
load of booze out Of the city. They
hauled it out ju*t in the nir-k of time.
If the wagon had been sooner the po-?
lice would have truly made a mon?
strous raid. A number of the labels
On the cases had been changed and
It seems that the goods were to be
immediately ? Shipped back to the con?
signers. The stuff was alb standing
out in the middle of the floor, evident?
ly destined for yie first shipment.
Sottiie's wagon was standing Just
outside the warehouse door when the
police patrol arrived. Most of 'the
liquor was marked "Sotttle Bros.," "J.

?n the fight in Charleston on the biind
tigers and especially the wholesalers.
Time and again the trat sponsion
companies have premised the mayor
to cooperate with . him In his tight.
They no sroner promise than they
break tiv* enmpact either In *pi*it or
in letter. I
Some time ago the companie s prorl
ised to stop delivering to the tigers.
The n ayor had the, police .keep a
close watch on the depots and ware?
houses. It was soon reported to him
that while the transportation com?
panies did not actually take the liquor
out In their wagons and deliver it to
the tigers they allowed the wholesale
tigers to come to the buildings'and
take the contraband out. In many
cases it was found that the tigers
would rebon sign th? whiskey to other
parties.
i
Mayor Rhett. put Corporation
Counsel Moffntt to work on this phase
of the contest. He soon reported to
the mayor that when the transporta?
tion companies allowed the illicit
dealers in liquor to Cdme into their
place bf business and handle the
liquor, or take it out or to reconSIgn
it it amounted to a delivery in the
eyes of the law. Acting on thte re?
port, the mayor issued order:*, to the
acting ChlefJLo Immediately seise ail
the liquors that were to be, found on
ths premises. All alond the polic-j
have been psevented from seizing the
liquor in the hands of the corporations
by the provision of the constitution
which "prohibits the selxue of goods
In transit by a common carrier. As
soon as delivery is made, however,
goods cati be captured.
Notice was served on Mayor Rhett
today by attorneys for Bottlle Brothers
of Augusta that claim and delivery
proceedings had been Instituted for
the recovery of the liquor seised by
the police yesterday ?tnd today, it is
thought that these proceedings will
letermlne! the validity of the police
seizures of several wagon loads of
liquor, a part of which was the prop?
erty of Bottlle Brothers, It |* claimed

A ROSEATE VIEW.
?t h Good Times- Ahead?South Cafo
lluJan in Washington Talks of State's
Resources.
Washington, Sept. 12,?if South
Carolina had a few more "rootera"
like Mr. J. P. Matthews, of Columbia,
hank president, financier and well
known citizen, it would hardly be
necessary for South Carolina to ad?
vertise her varied* resources to the
world through Other channels.
Discussing-- the business outlook in
South Carolina and the generar pros?
perous conditions prevailing there to
a group of newspaper men in the lob?
by of the New Wlllard Hotel today,
j Mr. Matthews said:
"The cotton crop of the South will
be the salvation of the country this
year. The outlook Is much more
promising now^than it was sixty or
even thirty days ago. The indications
are that we grill have a crop of 12,
500,000, of an approximate value of
$800,000,000 in the raw state. As the
South "will use something like 2.500,
000 bades of this product, It may eas?
ily be seen that the South will be re?
sponsible to the United States for an
enormoijs amount of money, which
will certainly offset the recent ship?
ments of gold abroad. The manu?
factured value of this cotton will be
worth something like four and a half
billions of dollars, a billion more than
alf the money in the United States.
"A small part of this work will be
done in the South, 'for you must re?
member that we are operating'some?
thing less than 10,000,000 spindles in
all the South. We have some trou?
bles with labor and the ind'catlona
are that we will have more, but so far
as the foundations are concerned, the
prosperity of this country is safe.
"The State of South Carolina alone
will have something like $75,000,000
worth of cotton, and this seems enor?
mous when you take Into considera?
tion that there Is but $40.00o7oOO on
deposit <n the banks of the State.
"Right now in the United States
there are great fortunes to be made,
and while they do not come to peopfe
who sit with hands folded, they will
come to those who go ^>ut after them.
I know of one mill lit the South which
was installed at a cost of $500,000
that is making $5,000 a month clear
profit. But It Is not onlf In the South
this Is true. I have had occasion in
past year *~ visit nearly eeerv ?n'v
tion o the country, and the earn*
thing is true everywhere. it's tb
create t country on earth and th<
development Is 'inly .iurd begun. 1 do
think, however, that if big business
men could devote all their time "to bus?
iness Instead of giving most of it to
ihe publfc, and the rest to the labor
situation, business would progress
more rapidly. T^e' country has not
been so banly pillaged as some persons
imagine.
Mr. Matthews also believes that
South Carolina Is just beginning to
enjoy an unprecedented era of pros?
perity. Columbia, he says, is experi?
encing considerable growth, many of
the towns in the State-, both in th?
Piedmont section and on the coast,
are forging ahead, and Charleston,
tpo, is shortly to have her direct ship
connections with Austrian ami' Ger?
man markets.?News ?nd Courier. /

It was understood here that the re?

had anything to do with the discharge
of the men of the Southern railway
system. He said there is nothing un?
usual in the discharge, as the number
of men employed during the last three
months had been very#large and it
was necessary to lay off a few of them
because of the fact that the men will
