ASSOCIATION MUST WORK. President .Ionian Declares That Past High Prices of Cotton Haw Mode Organisation Indifferent. In a signed statement Issued Satur? day, President Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton association, declares that activity In its ranks has been al? lowed to slumber, and he urges the organisation to renew Its activity for a better price for cotton, t Said Mr. Jordan: "The adherents of the policies and purposes of the Southern Cotton asso cltlon have been somewhat indifferent to the cause during the past eighteen months. Activity In the ranks of the local county associations have been allowed to slumber, and the spirt of co-operative effort between farmers, merchants and bankers has not been so pronounced as the two years pre? ceding 1907. This apparent indif? ference of the farming and business interests of the south, heretofore man hing so conspicuously under the flag of the Southern Cotton associa? tion, has been due almost entirely to two things, vis: That up to January 1, 1908, the cotton trade of the world was never better, and the price of spot cotton fairly aatlsfactory to growers, merchants and bankers. Under these conditions the people appeared satis fled and the power and Influence of the association which had been so con? spicuous In forcing price* for spot cot? ton from six cents to eleven and twelve cents waa allowed to remain largely in a formative, but not very active stage. "Conditions are now rapidly chang? ing for the worse, and unless the strong active forces of the south are again rehabilitated under the flag of the association, the south may face next December somewhat the same character of troubles which menaced ua Ih the winter of 1804. The cotton trade In this country la already seri? ously affected and cables from my cor? respondents In Europe, Just received, Indicate that If spot cotton continues to go down In price the cotton trade of Europe will be disorganized. The speculative interests operating on the , New York Cotton Excange are dally hammering down the price of apot cotton to lower levels. If apot holders give away and become panic-stricken the small remnant of the 1907 crop now In the hande of the people will go at low levels and cause the lose of millions of dollars to the growers and the spinners alike, the speculative Interests alone being the beneficiaries. Spot cotton must be held off the mar? ket If the present tendency to con? tinued depression la to be checked. To prevent dlsaater next fall, plant more com and leaa cotton this spring, arid let the pedple In every county go to work actively to complete | and build up their organizations s?Tas to have the united strength of the south aa a bulwark against sny financial depres? sion which may cont'nue from outside sources to menace the beat interests of the cotton growers." , ,_ HOW IS YOU|t STOMACH?

BISHOP CAPERS DEAD. DEATH CAME YESTERDAY AF TEHXOOX AT 3 O'CLOCK. Directed Affairs of Episcopal Church In South Carolina for Fifteen Y'eurs ?Became Seriously 111 One Week Ago?His Entire Family Around Death Hod?'Many Telegrams of Regret?Funeral Friday. Columbia, April 22.?Bishop Ellison Capers died this afternon at 3 o'clock. He had made a characteristically gal? lant fight against death. For days it seemed that his strenght could last only a few hours longer, but he would rally and recognize those around him with his usual kind word. For over a year the Bishop had been In ill health, but was at times able to attend to his Episcopal duties and enjoyed frequent drives, but about f* week ago he became ill and it was realized that his death was then only a matter of hours. Late tomorrow afternoon, Thursday, the body will be taken from his resi? dence on Barnwell street to Tritinity church, and will rest upon the chan? cel Thursday night, some of the clergy remaining with the body. At 8 o'clock Friday morning there will be early Communion at Trinity. Until 11 o'clock Friday morning the church will be open for those who wish to visit the church and see the noble features of the greatly beloved , soldler-prlest, and then, the doors will be closed until 12 o'clock, the hour of the funeral. A list of the honorary pallbearers could not be obtained tonight, but the active pallbearers, by the Bishop's special request, will be his five sons and his son-in-law. Bishop Coadjutoij Guerry will, of course, be In charge of the services ex offlclo, and he has advised the Bishops of the nearby dioceses,, and they with the State clergy will take such part as may be arranged by Bishop Ouerry. The Bishop's wife Is In feeble health but Is bearing up bravely with noble Christian fortitude, and her only sur? viving sister, Mrs. Legare, is with her. The children of Bishop Ca >ers are all here?Mr. F. F. Capers, of Greenville; Capt. John G. Capers, of Washington;, the Rev. W. T. Capers, >of Lexington, Ky.; the Rev. Waiter B. Capers, of Columbia, Tenn., and Mr. Ellison Ca? pers, Jr., of Summerton, S. C and Mrs. Johnson, of Charleston and Mrs. Satterlee, of Columbia. This evening telegrams have been pouring Into the residence from all sections. Bishop Guerry telegraphed: ?'Our love and deepest sympathy to Mrs. Capers and the family. Expect me tomorrow." ' The vestry Christ Church, Green? ville, where for twenty years Bishop Capers wa3 rector, through the Bish? op's old friends, Messrs. Markley and Hayne, the senior and Junior ^wardens telegraphed as follows: "The vestry of Christ Church tender to Mrs. Capers and all the family our deepest sym? pathy. May God comfort and support you. A prince In Isarel has fallen.' Col. Anbury Coward, superintendent of the Citadel, telegraphed Mrs. Ca? pers: "The Citadel mingles her tears with yours." Gen. C. Irvine Walker, commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, United Confederate Veterans, sent this message to Mrs. Capers: "The Vet? erans of the Northern Virginia depart? ment mourn their 'brave Christian comrade and deeply sympathize with his family." No man who has lived In South Carolina in this generation has had more general respect and affection of the wohle people than Bishop Capers. Irrespective of religious belief he was regarded as a high type of Christian citizenship, and his opinions and Judg? ment were everywhere respected. Per? sonally .ie was the friend of all. None knew him but to love him. In Colum? bia, where for 15 years as Bishop, and at an earlier period as rector, he had been a familiar figure, he was best known and most admired, respected, and affectionately regarded, and here he will be most keenly missed.

New York, April 20.?The chief event of the past week In local finan? cial circles has been the inauguration of an export movement of gold to Eu? rope, which promises to assume con? siderable proportions before long. Thus far, only $2,000,000 has been taken for shipment, the same going to Paris, but it is reliably estimated that before the movement terminates the sum may have reached something in the neighborhood of $20,000,000, as not only is there a demand for the precious metal on the part of France, but Germany is also in need of cash, as the situation there is at present somewhat acute on account of the ex? tended industrial situation and the heavy borrowing by the government. Although exports of gold from the United States are not at all unusual for this season of the year, the move? ment this year has started somewhat earlier than is ordinarily the case. Last year It began in May and in the following month shipments amounted to $24,000,000. However, the early starting of the efflux thi:; year has failed to create the slightest appre? hension, and even the prospects that ! the United States may be called upon I to part with the amount above men j tioned is viewed with perfect aquani I mity. The principal reasons for this con? dition of affairs are contained In the facts that, first of all, the engagemen* announced this week Is the first since May last year. But beyond this Is the enormous supply of gold at present in this country. It will no doubt be re? called that in November and Decem? ber of last year, following the panic here, the United States Imported from European countries the unprecedent adly enormous total of $108,000.000 gojd. Of this sum the New Tora as sey office alone holds $25,000,000 In gold bars after having sent something like $60,000 to the mints since the panic. Moreover, the surplus reserves of the New York Associated Banks now amount to approximately $45, 000,000, while in addition to all this the balance of foreign trade just mow la very heavily in our favor. Even In the event that say $20,000, 000, gold will be sent abroad on this movement. It will no doubt be found that at the end of the current fiscal year this country will have to Its cred? it considerably more than $75,000,000, aa the net result of the twelve months Imports and exports of the yellow metal. Besides, local bankers are strongly of the opinion that, should the outflow of gold show any signs of assuming unusual proportions, the secretary of the treasury will come to the assistance of the situation by is? suing a call for the return of part of the $200,000000 of public money now held by the national banks. For the foregoing reasons the gen? eral stock markets has to all intents and purpose virtually ignored the be? ginning of gold exports to Europe, and while prices have fluctuated more or less irregularly throughout the week, the undertone has been Arm and at the close the feeling among brokers Is quite optimistic. But for the fact that the week was largely broken into by the Easter holidays, which occasioned the closing of the New York Stock and Consolidated Stock Exchanges on both Friday and Saturday, it Is quite likely that this sentiment would have been reflected in considerable activity and a greater or less enhancement in values. SEVERAL BUILDINGS ASSURED. < $400,000 Appropriation for Federal Buildings In This State Likely. Washington, April 23.?Wrhile The News and Courier correspondent is not in a position to give exact Inform? ation regarding what congress will do when the public buildings bill is re? ported tomorrow for Orangeburg, Alken, Newberry, Darlington, Gaffney, Laurens, Union, Anderson, Sumter, Co? lumbia, Edgefleld, Abbeville and Cam den In the way of federal buildings, It is assured that of the places named seven or eight will get direct appro? priations. Three will be taken care of to a small extent and the others will not share in the expenditure of public money this year. The total amount that will go to those places Is said to be a little over $400,000. This Information is believed to be correct, but until the bill carrying the different amounts is formally reported more definite Information cannot be given. With more than $400,000 being ex? pended In South Carolina next year for labor and materials of' different kinds It should go far towards giving trade and employment to those suf? fering from the present money depres? sion, should It continue until that time. It will mean also that one of the stubbornest fights Speaker Cannon has ever put up against any appro? priation bill has been won.

Appropriation for Federal Building in Orungeburg Likely?Sumter and Columbia in Doubtful Column. Washington, April 21.?It Is ru? mored today that when the public buildings and grounds committee of the house brings in its bill this week Orangeburg will be taken care of. It I9 also rumored that Sumter may not get anything this year, and that while Columbia may not get any appropria? tion some provision may be inserted In the bill to take care of her present needs. The members of the committee, who have been seen about the matter, will not say positively what will be done, but the above rumors were cur? rent today and are believed to be well founded. The committees that recently came to Washington representing Columbia, Sumter and Orangeburs made a splen? did Impression on the members of congress with whom they came in con? tact, and were It not for the fact that the bill to be passed this year will amount to only about $12,500.000. half the usual amount, there is every rea? son to believe that Sumter, Columbia and Orangeburg would all fare liber? ally.
