Cof. J. L. Orr. President of the Pied
mont Cotton Mills, returned last Saturday
from a business trip>to New York. In
an interesting interview with reporter
tor the Greenville NewS, he spoke of the
cotton crop as follows: "IIe was then
asked what the cotton men thought Of the
cotton crop. He replied that he found
great diversity of opinion; that some of
the best authorities placed the present
crop as low as 400, 900 bales while others
ofequalreputation and means ofinforma-
ton felt sure that the crop would reach
R,250,G00 bales. Being asked what would
probably be the consumption of cotton,
he said he thought it would exceed $780,
900 bales of American cotton, probably
between s,500,000 and S,600000 and that
with the small surplus carried over from
last year, the probabilities were that we
should see much higher prices after the
middle of November"

Mr. A. B SULL1vAN-Dear Brother: ::
Your letter found my husband away from
home. SO it devolves upon me to answer
your letter.
Mr. Carswell is still Baptist and will
be till he dies say this BECAUSE heard
him say that if be were tu.DeI out Of the
Baptist Caurch, he would lie at the door
OF Baptist Church and knock for admit
tance until Jesus comes, for said he, there
is nothing e!se to join" He said this
when Dr. CranfiI, of the Standard. accused
him of being C.mbellite, and that he
preached their doctrines. Toe clipping
you sent is totally false. Right funny
that Almistead, Methodist should con.
vert him to the Presbyterian faith. They
did not have q discussion lie came 10
Douglassyille, and was there three eeks,
and challenged Mr. Carswell for diecus-
sion. Mr.. Carswell told the Methodists
that If they would indorse him he would
discuss. They dually decided to do 40,
and the discussion commenced. But Mr..
Carswell was taken down with the grippe
and was sick two weeks. Armistead wrote
the Atlanta Evening Journal that the
preacher had been made sick by his doctor
dosing him. He had been following Mr.
Carswell around so long. believe he was
induced to doit by some ofthe Methodists.
You know how Mr. Carswpll baptized the
Pedoes in Elberton. In West Point he
baptized number, and had 80 many on
the fence, trying to make up their minds,
when this same Arnistead came and got
up row and stopped the work. 10
Douglassville he baptized thirteen of their
number. The devil has to put In bis work
every time. and have been looking for
the old ms.n to come to Texas.
We have been living in this place over
five years. We are very much pleased
with Texas, though my health has been
poor. We are contemplating moving
higher up in Texas tor health's sake.
Mr. Carswell is in Mississippi now hold
ing meetings. His Church let him off for
the month Of September. He spoke Of
going on to Georgia and South Carolina
this fall. He has done great work In
Texas, and breaches the grand old doc
trines of the Bible with greater power and
efficiency than ever. The soft, wishy-
ws>hy Bapt;sts are harder on him out here
than the Pedoes. We have been flooded
with letters from Elberton, Hartwell, An
derson and other places in reference TO this
thing. We are having "pic nic' hearing
from our tried and true friends. Pray for
Us. We want to live nearer the Saviour
and battle harder than ever for the truth {;
for the night cometh when We cannot
work. Yours in Christian love,

At Rochester. y. y.
The Meyers voting machine was tried
with fair degree OF success in the pre-
einets OF Rochester, n. Y. IN the recent
election
In spite OF mishaps OF al kinds. uni
yersal satisfaction is expressed with
the machines. Voters were surprised
at the ease and rapidity with which
they were able to make their political
preferences known. Those that voted
the straight ticket. and had therefore
to push only one knob. met with no per-
plexity whatever. They could march
In and out with
In and out at the rate OF from two to
four minute. Those voters that voted
split ticket required a little more
time. They had to push a knob for
each candidate they voted for. Still
they voted with surprising rapidity.
Sometimes the votes were at the aver
age rate Of two a minute. But sixty and
seventy votes an hour was the average.
Had the polling clerks been able to
verify names more rapidly the average
would have been somewhat higher. 1t
was they and not the voters that caused
the most delay. One of the most salts
factory features OF the machine was the
rapidity and accuracy with which II
permitted the result OF the election to
be known. Within twenty minutes
after the closing OF the polls the com
pany's central office was in possession
OF the result Of the voting for presiden-
tial and gubernatoriaI candidates in all

were obtained by o'clock BY . o'clock
