"Cheap- Cotton." if Manufacturers Record Randall X. Durfee! a New Eng land spinner and a: prominent mem-1 ber of the NatFonal Cotton Manu-i ?acturers' Association,. has written j aln article for the Xew York Jour- j nal of Commerce almost every j paragraph of which begins with the , dictum "cotton should be cheap." ' It should be cheap, says Mr. Dur fee. because it is a prime necessity, because it furnishes clothing , for j i the poor man. because millions ofj I workers are dependent on it for a j livelihood, beauso "only in times of I ; cheap cotton does the ruanufac- j tujer secure a reasonable. profit, on ! the eapits.l invested/' etc Wc ought to strive to produec cotton ?s cheap- ! ly. as possible, says Mr. Durfee. in - j stead of curtailing production. He i thinks that, the cotton-producing j Sections are capable of producing j large enough -crops to make cotton j cheap. As these arguments, how- ( ever, appear by themselves to be a | ^little.too-"raw," it should be stated! .that Mr. Durfee also contends that' "by cheap cotton is net. meant. a j price which does not show a profit j to the . producer.. All ; interests! handling cotton arc. entitled to a j reasonable pro?:.. but the producer I is not entitled to charge 20 cents j for,cotton costing 10 cents any' more} thah the manufacturer is entitled' to charge s i. for .the finished, cloth \ cosltng '50 cents." .. Perhaps Mr. Durfee thinks ..cot- ! ton labor is inefficient and . un- j progressive.;' It is. Five-cent cot- i ton had a way of closing schools, | dressing- labor in .rags.'.housing it "in" hovel's, and prohibiting the con struction of churches! It made the slavery of pre-?incoin days appear : lh comparison as some sort of h.cav- j en. It .degraded even the ncgro.i it. swelled the death lists!, apotheo-] sized ignorance, pauperized whole! Actions. Before the Civil War there \ i^ad.be^n negro slavery in the "south. Alter the civil war, the cheap cot ton^advocjates uiiderto(jk a new en slavement of the whole south, white and black. . . There .is and can lie no .such " thing as '.cotton' production at ten encts the pound, under boll wee vil' conditions, and hobddy knows ft better than does. Mr. Durfee. And hobody -knows better thah. he does that'if production of cotton at ten! cents the p^ound weie possible - it would be possible only by* sweating; blood out of American citizens and. j?ffto?. them in return not even a proper food supply. Mr. Durfee knows that,, or ought to know, it, !Xay, morei; he knows that a price at twenty cents for cotton, now, is an" infamous price^h?yoc-making.' T^. def end It is equivalent to de-, landing the march of an inyadlug ?rroy . th'rouslij the south. ^:sprea'l in^ ae^ru^ibn-?t every! turn.. " : ' "The; pjraintenance '.pif American dorn i ha nee ?' in cot toil p roduction, is desirable. highly desirable, provided profit also is ?tW^a?^v^;^U: not otherwise. i Philanthropy is .carried to an ex treme if the southern farmer is to' go on indefinitely producing cotton at a loss. ' Xohe more than the farmer laments the ? necessity for acreage reduction. -but Mr. - Durfee knows, or ought to know,. that the only way in which the boil weevil can be fought at all successfully is- by intensive, cultivation, and in tensive cultivation requires sconcen tration of available labor oh small er, not la!rg>r, "acreage. Doubling; the acreage might actually reduce the size of the total crop. Xo cotton is cheap that degrades j millions. Xo cotton is cheap that isj paid for "by* the misery aftd ignor-1 dhce of blacks and whites. Xo cot- | ton. is ctiteap jthat reduces whole j populations to the condition o? In- j dian serfs. But if Mr! Dnrfee and j hi sas&ociatcs, so intent on profits | for themselves, would Work for cot-j ton prices that carried with them; sfcihethrng, like a . living wage for ttie producers, out of the prosper ity resulting the South unduestion- ' abljr, we think, might through ed ucational processes, feet?, gradually achieve a gy*ea'tcr efficiency'1! which would crrespondirigfy reduce pro duction cp3ts; "Distress * cotton," however/ is not a national asset; j it is a national liability. It is true that foreigners are thak- j ing stupendous efforts to cf^tabllsh; cotton production In their own' colonies. Maybe .Mr. Durfee has! noted that they are "doing it'byj guaranteeing prices, which is thej equivalent of guaranteeing profits.; They are not worried so much about! price as they are about supply, dfj more produetibo iis what Mr. Dur-j fee V/ahts. he may be able to getf it 'by guaranteeing prices also. We j do not doubt that hundreds of| ylariters would be quite willing to| contract to. produce cotton for him at cost plus a reasonable profit. The trouble with many men of Mr. Dur fee's type, however, is not fhraj they want cotton at ^. fair price but .that they want cotton at an un fair price. They want it at less thrj-.i cts.-. - Indeed, a little less sel fishness an3 a little more con science would be good for more] than one depre'-ser of cotton prices.] Moral responsibility! The boll j weevil may be. as some negro<?xj think, a visitation from the Al-j mighty in protest against the boh- j ditidnSunder which cotton has been! produced. j The development of "die eo-op<r atiye selling plan :u the south is! 'so' rapid that many look forward\ to the time when the price will be] I fixed ?s absolutely, year by year, as; is the price of steel. Cotton then j will be "cheap." It will be "chvap" | ; in' the seri^e that it wfli.be sold for ?actual cost of produciton. phts a: reasonable profit. Rut the kind of! cheap cotton Mr. Duriee seems toi vision wilt, we tn>st. never nerain bei seen in the CpiteS Stares. This is a small world but there is j ryom for more big" men. I-.

Oct. 17 (By the As laocfated' Press).--federal Judge ! Learned Hand today reserved de j eision' on applications by 'American I and foreign owned steamship line." i to make permanent the stay re I straining government officials from ! ; put ting into effect the Daugherty ! ruling that vessels mast not carry [hVuor inside the three mile line, | even under 'seal, when touching at American ports. Meanwhile. Judge Hand extend ed the stay he had granted last week until he should reach a de-i cision. This' decision, he indicat- j ed, probably, would be rendered !before October 21.. the latest date 1 ! on which the Daugherty ruling has i been ordered into effect. Exten- j siori.of the stay affects both Amer ican and "foreign lines. | Judge-Hand made known his in-j teiition after listening to all day; arguments presented by a large array of counsel representing ten of the most important trans-Atlan tic steamship', companies, and ? number of attorneys representing Secretary of the Treasury Meliuu and the federal prohibition en forcement headquarters. The con-! tinuation of the stay, he made clear! would hold, even if he failed to' announce his decision on the in-1 junction before October 21. The foreign lines affected by the! extension of the temporary stay j were the Ounard. Anchor. White Star, French, International Nav igation, Hoi land-America. Scandi- | !navian-American and Royal Mail Steam Packet. The American Line of the International Mer- , cantile Marine and the United American Line. The stays were original in the :eases* 7 of the ' Holland-America. Scandinavian-American and Royal Mail Lines, which though ungrant ?od "the original stay, declared through counsel that they had cases identical with those, of the Other-foreign lines. Judge Hand announced he would receive briefs and papers tomor- j row and that he would attempt to make a decision as soon as pos-: sible so that the case might quickly be brought to the United States supreme court. The stay, he said.! would be valid until the entry j of the order on the motion for a judgment. United States' District Attorney' Hayward objected to a motion; made by counsel of the foreign! lines for granting" of a tempor al stay until ? decision by the supreme court In denying the contention bt his opponents that serious damage to the steamship lines would be caused by the en- j frcement of the Daugherty ruling j before a final supreme . decision,] he said the government* had been: very courteous in the . matter and' had gone to great lengths to j avoid embarrassment to the shipj owners. 'He also declared that he diu not'j know the intentions of the treas-! ury department which he repre- j sented and of the -government and i accordingly could not but object to! the motion for an'Indefinite stay, j BELIEVES m I OBEDIENCE I TO THE LAW \ ?-?, -? ? - i Local Chiropractor Commends Action of Gov; Harvey in j Love Case The following correspondence | between Gov.

That we sbonld have Cbiro-j practic examining; board in South j Carolina like they have in Other states, is agreed upon by all who i have given the matter sufficient study, but how to get that is! where the difference of opinion! comes in. It was my idea to comply with the present law. and get Chiroprac tic well known in the state, then work for a better law.

On my -way up via Union i stopped a few minutes at Glenn ! Springs. Just to see what sort of ! a place my friends from Sumter I have been coming to for the past many years. I was agreeably sur prised to find a pretty little settle ment of nice homes as well as a big hotel. From about Glenn Springs to Tryon the c?tton shows so lit tle boll weevil damage that it made me wish for au up-country farm. iThe postmaster at Tryoh told.' me i that on his farm in southeastern [part of Polk county the weevils jhavc cut his ctbp one-third.' I ?have seen only one field of cotton this side of Spartan burg that I thought was cut so much . as a third. I spent -Wednesday .'night with. .Col. Alan Johnstone m dewberry. He told-me that county is cut"t.> [less than 1-1 of a ' crop. ' All [through that county and Union ;I saw more people picking pea.s Qii-Ji .cotton. Thi.s side of Spartanb?iiv ail were picking cotton and some [fields are still white with cotton. [Nearly all the fields doited with I piles of cotton where .each day ; I picking is heaped, I suppose until ! they haul to a .gin. Much cotton [was going to the markets up this [way. Twenty-two ceuts. Friday we drove to Spur?anbury jto shop and having the time, went 'on south ro the South Carolina ;school for the deaf and blind. JV> fwere there at ihe noon: hour and saw the kitchens, dining rooms and the students at dinner. It is a won derful work . the" state is doing there. Three generations of Walk ers have been superintendents' C?l. Walker, the second superin tendent, is sort of on the retired list, but has some general super vision. His son, the active super intendent. is au enthusiast over the work, and made our hour a very interesting one. We asked toj see and meet the Misses DuBose from Sardinia. They are very: bright girls and seemed to appre- i date our asking for them. j Mr. Walker says it takes five, years to get a deaf mute to the | place where a blind child starts j in its education. One of the blind students from this, institute if a junior at the University at Colnm-j bin. arid' is leading "his ; classes..' Others are doing similar stunts 'at other colleges. I thought the books for the blind have raised letters. Mr. Walker says raised letters have been "superseded many' years by raised dots. ' It is a short hand system, and they learn to read about as fast as an ordinary seeing reader. I mean they -speak', the words "that fhey feel with the finger tip's. The state owns 1~>4 acres of laud on the east side of the main high way from Spurtanburg to Union, mu- mile from the Southern Rail way at Cedar Springs station. Th? spi*rng flows Co gallons of water per minute, and supplies all the build ings. There is a negro building, a primary building and the. mam j building where the administrative offices are located and the inter mediate and advanced students are housed. Then tliere is :i machine shop, a dairy bam and other "out buildings. Mr. Walker stated that [no pupils are made to work ex cept as a part of an education sys tem to fit. them for self support. They are not worked for the sake of reducing the cost, but for the training i> gives them. I wish more of us could see this good work.

The j machine is a Cnrtiss army biplane, powered with a Curtiss ,400 horse power engine. After. sotting the new record. Lieutenant Maughan. continued his flight tp show that the tremendous pace could be maintained. On four laps he was timed,at the rate of 2.32.22 miles an hour, and his av j erage for-eight- laps was 229 miles j an hour. j Examination of the machine a fi tter the flight, disclosed that it was lin perfect condition, and that noth ing in the nafure of a."trick"' flight figured in the performance. Later Lieutenant Maughan add ed to the astonishment of pilots and .officials on the field by flying: ap proximately one mile with, the ma chine on its side. The feat in real ity was a flight without the aid of wings. ...
