Not to Speculate.
"I read an interview in the Post
with Col. St. John of New York,
in which he spoke of the danger of
speculating in cotton on the part of
men who produce it," said Mr. J.
C. Maxwell of New Orleans, at the
New Willard.
"Col. St. John hits the nail
Bquarely on the head when ho advises
southern farmers to fight shy
off mythical purchases and sales of
their own products. As I came
north this time I overheard two
prosperous looking planters in the
parlor coach near me discussing the
market, and telling of their operations.
At length I got acquainted
with them, and we began to talk
of "futures." In fact, that was
about the only subject they seemed
to care aliout discussing, and it was
evident the bug of speculation possessed
them.
Finally, I asked them if they had
been long accustomed to playing
the market, and they confessed they
were amateurs of but little experience.
Upon this an elderly gentle- [
man, who had been listening to our
conversation addressing the planters
directly said: I
'I understand that you gentlemen
are cotton growers. Now take the
counsel of an old man and content
yourselves with making that necessary
article of consumption. There
are plenty of others to gamble in it.
Pardon my plain talk, but you
farmers are the veriest greenhorns
in financial matters, and the speculative
game was made to shear just
such innocents. Even if you make
a few winnings your success is only
temporary; the big gamesters in
'New York will sooner or later pick
you as clean as a bleached bone on
the prairie. The cotton grower of '
the south who will stick to his
legitimate business is going to be,

THE DISPENSARY CONFERENCE.
illman Asked to Take Charge of ItAll
His Tine Taken by Railroad Rate
Bill?Senior South Carolina Senatoi
Nay Issue a Manifesto on Situation.
Since the exclusive publication in
be Record of the desire of dispenCnr
leaders in the State to get toother
in a conference and map out
programme for the fight in the
tato this year, appeals have been
jnt to Senator Tillman asking him
> take charge of the proposed gathring
and send invitations to the
laders. The senior South Carolina
enator, it is understood, discussed
ic matter with a number of the
saders, including State Senator
lanning, John Gary Evans and
thcrs, but he is so full up to the
eck with work in the Senate, dealig
with the railroad problem, that
e indicated his inability to give
le attention to the matter he
bould desire. He still has the
reposition under consideration,
nd the expectation is strong that
e will take some action before a
reat wltilc, whether in the direction
f a conference cannot be stated.
Those who know the methods ot
re Senator would not be surprised
i see a manifpstn donlincr wifh tVic
lbject, something on the order oi
le famous Shell manifesto that
receded the famous great camaign
of 1890. This, however, ie
urely speculative, as Senator Tillrnn
is too busy a man to reach an
nportant decision so quickly. It
i absolutely certain that if he had
ie time at his disposal in Washinge
would enter into a lively correxmdcncc
with the dispensary lcadrs,
find out what they deem best
nd act act accordingly. While rciirding
the dispensary question as
f immense importance to ^outh
arolina, Senator Tillman feels, it
i understood, that his duties in the
enate call him to closer attention
) the question so important to the
ation at large, that of railroad rates.
Ie is in the thick of his fight up to
is neck and spends nearly all of hie
me studying over what he will do
hen the railroad rate question gets
ndcr full swing in the Senate. He
i informing himself on every posible
phase of the question and will
o his best to master it so that he
tin look after the the interests ol
ire country in the fight against railDad
monopoly and greed.
It is this busy condition of SenaDr
Tillman that may postpone c
pirited opening of the State camaign
at once, as no move will b<
lade without ins sanction and aproval.

2ali/.e that the anti-dispensary peo le
will make an attempt to control
lie May convention, only twe
lonths off, so that they can pass
^solutions condemning the system,
'hey are believed to be at work
ow laying plans to capture thai
onvention, 'if possible. It is nol
ct known whether Senator Tillmar
egnrds the possible capture of th(
onvention by them as importanl
nough to try to prevent, inasmuch
s he feels that the great fight wil
e in the campaign and during the
rimaries. Preliminary viccorief
ir either side will not have much
earing upon the final results in th<
ampaign. If a manifesto should
e issued, however, it will becertair

ensary forces in good fighting con
