- The following is an editorial para
graph from the Columbia State of last
Thursday morning:
"The State is persistent believer in a
very short cotton crop and a much better
price. 1t has contended all along that
there must be an advance, and its predic-
ton has been verified, but it, like all 9TH
er bulls, thinks the figures must still
climb higher" - Yorkville Enquirer.
They climbed 20 points higher yesterday,
making an advance in 10 days of three
quarters of cent pound in New York.
1t is interesting to note that among the
buyers conspicuous in that city yesterday
were "well-known New Orleans and
Philadelphia export houses and repre-
sentatives of eastern cotton mills''-or, as
another dispatch puts it, commission
houses, Europe, the south, shorts and
the bull faction all bought freely" So
general concurrence of opinion that cot
ton will 60 higher is extraordinary and
significant. Hold your cotton.
The State has made slight mis-
take somewhere. 1t is either dream
ing, or it has gotten the paragraph
upon which it takes occasion to felici-
tate itself on its wise foresight from
some other paper. THE ENQUIRER
has said nothing of the kind. We
have been studying the market all the
season, as intelligently as we could,
and have been giving our readers the
fullest benefit of this study. We stated
last Saturday when the local market
dha reached 81 that the prospects for
u were good. We have not told any
body to hold or to sell. We are not
going to. We will only try to give
them the facts upon which our own
judgment is based, and leave holders
of cotton to act upon their own dis
cretion. But at best, it is only a
guess. No individual who knew to a
certainty could resist the temptation
to buy or sell futures.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enauirer
Rock HILL, September 2S.-Our To-
cal K. of P. lodge, Oakland No. As,
has been doing fine work under the
guidance of Chancellor Commander u.
C. Partlow. Besides the regular rank
work, which it is almost constantly
doing, it has recently made a depart
ure from ordinary routine and has set
aside one meeting night of each month
for social amusement. This will oc-
cur the last meeting night (Thursday).
The program this evening will be full
of entertaining features. Aside from
an address by the G. c., there will be
music by a quartette, a solo by Miss
Prince, of Norfolk; recitation by Miss
Carrie Mobley. A phonograph selec-
ton will end the musical part, after
which there will be "spelling bee. "
The last will, no doubt, be an unusual
ly interesting affair.
The York County Fair association,
an organization of the colored people,
will begin the celebration of their
third annual fair today. DR.. Warner,
of Charlotte, will be the orator Of the
occasion.
There are always two sides to a
question, and l am requested by one
of the parties concerned to state for the
benefit of the public that there were
some mistakes in the article in We'd
nesday's ENQUIRER concerning the
cotton deal between two of our prom
ipent men. The interview was headed,
"Called the Bluff" and it was stated
that the mill man seemed inclined to
"renege." That gentleman tells your
correspondent that he had no inten-
tion whatever of doing either. His
position is this: He had 500 bales of
strict middling which he bought at 5.7S.
In the transaction he sold 800 bales at
6.424, putting him in nearly 5000. At
the time, the New York market for
January was $50 and upon its declin-
ing to GA he bought 600 bales. 1t
will readily be seen that he is way
"ahead of the game" Your CORES
pondent merely states these points
without taking a side.

- We would be glad to see the pres
ent upward tendency of the cotton
market continue indefinitely; but, of
course, it has to reach its limit. Where
the limit will be, of course nobody Can
tell. 1t may be s cents and it may be
9. We should prefer 10 to either of
the other figures. But let US not 60
so fast. We are already becoming too
enthusiastic and there is no telling how
near we may be to the break. When
the break comes, just watch! In all
the history Of the country, the tenden-
CIV has been not to sell on rising
market. The cotton producer, as a
rule, continues to believe in still high
er prices until the last moment and he
is slow to take advantage of the op-
portunity presented. This is natural,
of course, and the cotton raiser is no
exception. But when the market
starts back, there comes rush. Peo.
pie fall over each other to sell re-
ceipts swell enormously and prices 60
like ball rolling down hill. There
will be break after while; but in
our opinion, that will be bad tine to
sell. If the break comes, it will very
likely be only a temporary one, and no
matter how severe, prices will 90 up
again. If the farmers of the whole
country could only be induced to stop
selling as soon as the break occurs,
there is no telling to what point prices
might be raised on the present crop.
But if prices do continue upward, it is
look out for scissors next year. The

Quite a number of newspaper
men believe that the presidential bee
is really buzzing in the ear of Admi-
raj Dewey. ~ guess I'll stick to the
sea-" is about the strongest reply the
admiral has yet made to the sugges.
tions of his possible candidacy, and
many people take this to mean that he
is really more than half willing.
And why not? The presidency of the
United States is big thing-big
enough for any citizen of this or any
other country. No man could be ex-
pected to turn down such an opportu-
nifty lightly if he saw half chance of
success. The honors the admiral has
received and is receiving are we'll CAL
culated to make him believe that the
American people are willing to make
him president if he asks them to do
so. His fame is firmly established on
the battle of Manila, and he has moth
ing to lose in case of defeat. He only
needs the presidency to have his fill of
honor. 1t is easily possible for him to
get the Republican nomination if he
will make the effort, or rather signify
his desire. AS to whether he could
get the Democratic nomination, we
think is rather more doubtful &; but
that he would be a strong candidate
for either party goes without saying.
The American people are always un.
usually soft on heroes. Our best judg-
ment, however, should tell US that
while Admiral Dewey is very good
man, Mr.. Bryan is much better.

- The Greenville Times says that
the time has come for the state to Sc
lect governor from the up country
There is no doubt in our minds that
there is as good gubernatorial material
in the up country as there is in the
low country but somehow we are un-
able to look upon place of residence,
so long as it is in the state, as a ma
terial qualification for the Office OF
governor. The principal requirements
are brains, education and moral fitness,
and a governor possessed of these is
likely to give as good satisfaction to
one section as another.

- 1t is not only in South Carolina
that farmers are being urged to hold
their products; but also in Kansas.
With reference to the enormous corn
crop, Secretary Coburn, of the Kansas
board of agriculture, argues as fol-
lows: eff grain spectators can make
a profit on borrowed capital by hold
ing Kansas corn piled up along the
railroad tracks, too often bought below
cost of production, the producers can
make better one by taking good care
of all they are not compelled to let 60
of. The instances are few and far
between where a grower has suffered
loss by holding his unincumbered sur
plus from an unusual corn crop for at
least II months"

sented Major Scobell, when asked for
his Interpretation of the instructions ;
"but, of course, it does not necessarily
mean war, and it may yet be diverted.
The action of the council last Friday in
deciding to send 5000 or more troops
to the front, may result in diverting
the conflict" The other officers were
interviewed, and they all expressed the
belief that war with the Beers was
now a certainty, and that when the
home department in London cabled to
purchase the mules as quickly as pos
sible, it meant war in the Transvaal.

Judge Benet an a Traveller.

Judge w. C. Benet, presiding over
the First Judicial circuit, has returned
to South Carolina from a visit to his
family in Scotland. He is now visit
ing at his former home in Abbeville,
and is expected to return shortly to
Charleston, his judicial headquarters
An exchange contains the following
concerning Judge Benet's popularity
with his fellow passengers on the
steamship which brought him back
from Europe: During the last pas
sage of the Cunarder Lucanla from
Liverpool to New York bad weather
prevailed to considerable extent, and
some of the passengers became a little
disheartened and worried. Among
those, however, who preserved their
equanimity was Judge w. c. Benet,
of South Carolina, who earned the
reputation of being the most polite
and obliging man on the ship. There
was a young lady passenger who was
awfully disappointed because she was
afraid that her trip would be an un-
eventful one if she didn't see whale
or an iceberg or a wreck. Judge Benet
heard her express her disappointment,
and, adjusting a pair of powerful
glasses to his keen southern eyes, took
a comprehensive view of the horizon
and remarked: 'I'm afraid there isn't
an iceberg in the vicinity at present,
but Here he handed his glasses to
the young lady and stretched out an
indicative hand But if you'll look
right out there about two miles off the
port bow, I'll be very happy to oblige
you with whale Sure enough there
was big fellow going slowly along
and occasionally spouting. Uhe judge
was unanimously voted q prince of
good fellows, but his usual urbane and
accommodating disposition met a
shock when the young lady asked him
to have President Mckinley and Adj
miral Dewey meet her at the wharf.
She was much disappointed when the
courteous Charlestonian informed her
that it was beyond his power to make
connections with the nations president
and the country's hero"

A publisher of patent outside at
Timmonsville was recently put under
the necessity of sending out his paper
with several columns clipped from it.
The patent people had run in an arti-
Gle that doomed the tobacco market of
q rival town. This ought to be warn
ing to the Timmonsville man that he
will do better if he will edit the paper

THE COTTON MARKET.

The Gotten market, local and gen.
eral, is a very interesting proposition
just now, and although the cotton pro-
ducers are greatly interested, it is
only fair to say that the spinners, spot
buyers and spectators are doing some
very tall thinking about the matter.
Seven and half cents was paid on
the Yorkville market on Wednesday
afternoon, and as high as 7.60 was paid
on Thursday. The best price paid up
to the time The ENQUIRER went to
press yesterday, so far as the reporter
could learn, was 7s.
In New York on Wednesday jan
uary futures opened at 6.63 and closed
at 6.S2. On Thursday the opening was
e.94, the highest price that has been
reached for quite while, and the close
was 6.S4. The price of middling spots
on Wednesday and Thursday in New
York was ST.
Yesterday was a holiday in New
York on account of the Dewey recep-
ton and consequently no New York
market was quoted. The markets
throughout the country therefore, were
more or less demoralized. The follow
ing quotation of Thursdays spots at
different leading markets will be of in
terest:
Atlanta, steady at 81 cents.
New Orleans, steady at 81 cents.
Augusta, quiet at 81 cents.
Savannah, quiet at 81 cents.
Charleston, quiet at 6s cents.
Wilmington, steady at 81 cents.
Mobile, firm at 81 cents.
Memphis, steady at 6s cents.
Houston, easy at ct cents.
Galveston, steady at 6s cents.
St. Louis, steady at 9-16 cents.
Cincinnati, quiet at 81 cents.
Boston, quiet at 81 cents.
Baltimore, steady at 81 cents.
The above quotations, of course, are
all on an export basis. The highest
prices are prevailing in the sections
were there are enough cotton mills
to consume most of the local crops.
At Gainesville, Ca, for instance on
Thursday II cents was paid, and COT
ton was reported to be coming in very
rapidly. Spartanburg, Greenville, and
other mill towns in the state have paid
as high as It but in the lower part of
the state, where there are few mills,
81 to 7 are the ruling prices. A phone
message from Rock Hill yesterday
morning at II o'clock reported u as
the best price that had been paid up
to that hour.
The Yorkville market was not so
stiff yesterday as the day before.
There seemed to be feeling among
the buyers that the price was rather
higher than they could stand, and they
were not especially anxious to run the
figures up any more. They were pay
ing, however, as much as was being
offered anywhere else in this section.
