Secretary Weston Talks of
the right Now Being Made
by Southern Cotton Association.
That tho Southern Cotton Asso- 1
eiation is in earnest in the fight to \
resist and put aside the speculator 1
to the welfare and benefit of tne s
producer, no one who yesterday 1
visited the office of Mr. F. H. ]
Weston, the secretary of the South i
Carolina division, can doubt. His :
office force was busily engaged (
sending out literature to the various <
counties and there were other evi- 1
deuces that the work is being t
pushed in no uncertain way. i
Asked for an interview concerning 1
this recent activity on the part of t
the Association, Mr. Weston said; i
"Today, 1 am in receipt of in- t
structions from headquarters in (
Atlanta to institute a movement 1
toward securing pledges from the v
farmers for the cotton which they i
now have on hand for 15 cents. j.
We know that there is u most t
active demand for dry goods and t
that the mills have not the cotton c
necessary to run them to fill these 1
contracts. The association consid- 1
cred 11 cents a fair but not unreasonable
price for cotton, but in 1
view of the very aggressive cam- t
paign that has been instituted 1
against cotton in the last few days t
by Theodore Price snd his allies, it g
would be absurd for the Southern I
Cotton Association to stand by and i
sec the producers of cotton throughout
the South despoiled of millions J
of dollars.
Wc must convince the spinners of
the world that the price of cotton is .

not by the speculator.
Mr. Smith is absent from the
state, in Texas, speaking in the interest
of the association, but 1 propose
to organize a most vigorous
campaign in behalf of securing
pledges from farmers for 15 cents
for cotton now on hand. I am now
placing these pledges in the hands
of county presidents, with instructions
to employ canvassers in every
school district in South Carolina.
We have the money on hand and
propose to pay these canvassers for
their work. The auditor's books
will be used to furnish us the names
of every cotton grower in each
= county. The names will be placed
r in the hands of the party canvassl(j
ing the school districts and thus
a every farmer will be approached,
j No southern man should stand
idly by and see his section robbed
of millions of dollars which docs not
11 inure to the benefit of the spinner
!n but to the benefit of Wall street
ze speculators.
Br 'A similar campaign is being
waged in every cotton producing!
er state in the south. This is a fight j
of producer against speculator and ]
ul we must and will win. ,
ly Concerning the cotton crop of
re Richland county and of tho state 1
re generally, Mr. Weston continued: j
You have asked me for an expla- |
nation of my opinion of the cotton ,
crop of this county. I am largely
interested in farming and I am |
probably the largest owner of agricultural
lands in this county, and I
am also connected with one of tho
,IC largest banks of the city, which |
gives me an excellent opportunity ^
of being brought in contact with
f, the farmer. "
e- This year's cotton crop has been j
lo one of the most disastrous to tho J
ic farmer of the county in this rcspoct. |
ic We hud abundant moisture and our ,
-S people fertilized very heavily, there d
by giving us a very large wood. Rut ]
?- realize now that our cotton crop
v- will not reach two-thirds of what it |
was last year. (
This time last year it was really I (
^ a favor to get a bale of cotton gin- | ,
;lt nod, but it now requires only one ,
(lt or twy days in the week to meet .
j9 tho present demands.
0f We have practically completed
ly the harvest of our cotton crop and (
3 thero is only left in the field to be (
gathered that which is commonly ,
t known ns *Sv rap' cottop, vyhipl> jy ,
' vc!7 an^
This shortage is practically ex* ]
^ plained by the fact that freezing
' weather caught a large number of
I*, bolls in a very unmaturod state and j
t3 full of moisture, and of course those
^ bolls will not open. (
^ One of my plantations last year
It on 120 acres I made 130 ' ales of
g cotton. On this plantation 1 had
ct planted this year 90 acres but ferir,
tilized it well and worked it well.

TWO ACCIDENTS ON SAME DAY
Mr. Clws. Humphries, His Horse
and Wagon fall IS Eee9
. Into Railroad Cut?Mr. ITed
Barfield Breaks His Collar
Bone.
Mr. Charles Humphries, one of
Union's grocery merchants, last
Monday evening about sundown
while driving his delivery wagon
beyond Monarch Mills attempted
to turn his wagon and in backing
to do so the horse became unmanageable
and continued to run the
wagon backwards to the deep railroad
cut of the Union and Glenn
Springs railroad, the wagon, horse
ind all fell into the cut, a distance
>f 15 feet. Mr. Humphries was
.aught under horse and wagon and
lis right arm was badly broken bewecn
the wrist and elbow and he
,vas otherwise painfully bruised and
'or a while it was feared he had
UBiained internal injuries, lie is I
low doing very well under the cir-!
umstances. This was the narrowest
escape from a horrible death we
uivc ever heard of. The horse lay
ipon Mr. Humphries several minitea
before making any attempt to
;et up. It is a groat wonder that
he horse was not killed and a miricle
that Mr. Humphries was not
rushed to death, and had his head
lit where his arm did lie would1
lave been killed instantly.
On the afternoon of the same day
VIr. Fred Barfield fell from the rear
iiul of his wagon and broke his colar
bone. lie was standing up in
he wagon and the horse started
suddenly and Mr. Barfield lost his
>alance and fell to the ground. He
s up and improving.
lonesville, the Coming City.
Jonesville Is on the boom. It i.s
i progressive, growing, prospering
lity, and it is thoroughly up-to-date.
The change in the past ten, no, five
rears, has been something remarkajlc.
There is a city now where
nice there were only a few plain
juildings. The mills are excellent
>nes, the school-houses are buildings
,o be proud of, and tlicre is everywhere
the growing spirit of the
:ity.
The new hotel at Jonesville is a
pride to its citi7ens and a credit to
die enterprising gentlemen who
caused its erection. It is a very
japable and roomy building, of late
md admirable architecture, and its
management is without and beyond
criticism.
There is a crying need at Jonesrille.
It's for a depot. Since the
jurning of the old one, there has
icon nothing but the great blue
anopy of heaven overhead. And
row if the rain starts up, you have
:o take it philosophically, and bear
t. The ticket office is a hundred
raids or more down the railroad
ruek and is an inconvenient place
;o got to. The railroad commission
should immediately take the matter
ip with tho Southern and try ' o
mvc a now depot erected right
iway.
Jonesville is on the boom. The
people are hustlers. And it's a
town you're going to hear great
.lungs from some day. Watch and
see.
Prof. Clinkscale's Lecture.
Those in Union who love to hear
i good lecture by a good man will
t>c glad to know that Prof. Jo|m
21inksca}ea whq occupies the chair
j( mathematics at Wofford college
ivill lecture at tho school-house at
Monarch mills on Saturday night
icxt at 8 o'clock, llis subject will
>c "Scraps." This is a very in;ercsting
and helpful lecture, and
mingles humor with pathos and the
ridiculous with tho sublime.
The proceeds of the lecture will
>e devoted to the building fund of
lto Vaw \fnfUa/^1 I'd -A 1

irch. This is a worthy cause and
me in which every good citizen of
the entire city should be very ready
to help.
The admission feo will be 25
;cnts for adults and 15 cents for
children.
Professor Clinkscales is one of
very finest jcptufors in fckHith Curo|in(\
and a largo audience should
jreet him bore. He is a man of
broad culture, deep scholarship and
wido sympathy, and his lectures
ire little masterpieces of public
speaking.
