HOLD YOUR COTTON.

If you can hold your cotton VI G
feel safe in guaranteeing Il better
price. Yes, cotton will rae. Mark
our prediction.
The predictions that are being sent
out from New York and published
in the newspapers all over the cOuu-
try tina. the cotton crop will lie mt
sualiy large Is without foundation
and is wholly false. 1t is the work
Of stock gamblers to aid them !
their speculation schemes. In fact
we are in possession of reliable in
formation which shows that the
worlds cotton crop, according to the
estimates Of the best experts, will
tall under the published estimates
by more than a million bales. Fur
ther, we have in our possession /
confidential circular which was in
tended % circulate on the inside
among spectators which puts tho
cotton crop Of the world a: 300, 900
bales short Of the figures they have
published to the world. According
to their own estimate the cotton crop
of This year will fall short Of the
estimated needs of the world at
leat 100000 bales. 1t is true we
lost last year by holding back cot
ton, but the crop was unusually large
which with contracted money sup
ply enabled the spectator to steadily
push down the price. In fact we
can seldom afford to try to hold
crop as long as few money sharks
can control the volume Of currency.
But with the great shortage in the
crop this year it is hardly possible
that they will be able to keep down
the price if the farmers will hold
up and stop selling.
The following resolution was offer
ed before the Supreme Council Of
the Alliance at Indianapolis by Ma
rion Butler of North Carolina and
unanin ously adopted:
Resolved, That being in posses
sion of facts that are thoroughly re-
liable. which warrant us in belief
that false estimate has been pur-
posely made of the present crop of
cotton, we feel safe in guaranteeing
better prices If cotton can be held
for sixty days.
We know that many will be forced
to sell in order to do themselves and
their creditors justice, but let every
man hold who can.

IS MR.. MILLS MAD7

Mr.. Mills as will be remembered
Was a very strong candidate for
Speaker. One objection to his hold
ing this position, was his quick telx-
per. Though many claimed that he
had very good control Of it, this ho
has not shown since ne was defeated.
but on the other hand, has acted
very strange to say the least, and has
lost himself many admired through
out the county 1t has been the Gus
toms for number of years for the
leading defeated candidate to make
the motion for making the nomina-
tion OF the caucus, unanimous, this
Mr.. Mills positively refused to do.
He was appointed on the committee
to wait on the President, which he
also refused, showing clearly how
he felt about his defeat. While Mr..
Mills had several claims for this
honor, it certainly did not extend so
far, as to give him warrant to act in
such manner. He was clearly and
honestly defeated. The majority of
the members said they did not want
him. This being so Mr.. Mills should
act accordingly. Mr.. Grip, we have
always thought was the best Ian,
at any rate, we are glad he has been
elected, and believe he will shape
the Eolicy of the House honestly,
wisely and judiciously.

WHO USE PASSES?

The correspondent to the Charlotte
Chronicle says nc has seen the vari-
Gus State officers having their quar-
tiers in the capitol and they have
answered the questions regarding
free passes on the railways which
was asked by Secretary Barnes of the
State Alliance at the direction OF
that order. The replies were that
the various officials lad passes and
had used them.
| 1t was further learned that the SUI
preme Court Justices had also replied
to the inquiry. One of them said in
his reply that an inquiry from so
important body merited reply.
Some said they had used no passes
since they became members of the
court, and one or two said they had
used none since the act in regard to
allowances for railway travel was
passed by the last Legislature.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1891-12-24

The shocking testimony at the state
house which went to show that we are
poisoning ourselves to death with our
wall paper, our paper boxes and a
dozen other articles of daily use which
contain arsenic, has been talked about
a great deal lately, even at S O'Clock
teas, when people generally balance
their cups in the air and talk about
nothing at all. There is broad sue-
gestion for fiction writer's in this matter
For instance, the testimony at the state
house showed that lady had been
dangerously poisoned by green paper
box that she kept on a shelf in her
sleeping room Now if one wants to
commit suicide quietly, what better
way than to have paper of undoubted-
Iy arsenic colors pasted upon ones
walls, and leave some green paper
boxes lying carelessly about ones
rooms and wear clothes that are dyed
with arsenica
Or it any lady wants to murder an
other, for instance, let her send her q
present of handsome new bonnet in
a green paper box which Is heavily
charged with arsenic and 30 prepared
as to transfer It's deadly elements to the
atmosphere of the room at once. Of
course the recipient OF the bonnet
would keep the box around for several
days. and meantime the deadly work
would be done. It Is rather Orange
that this method of destruction has net
been hit upon before. Murdezers and
novelists are slow to utilize the reeour.
