WHAT WILL THEY DO?

The penitentiary directors will take
IND the Summerell case this morning.
They will first hear the testimony taken
by the special committee appointed at the
last meeting to investigate the charges
against Summerell. Two members Of
that committee, Messrs. Travis and New
land, viii recommend the dismissal of
Summerell, and the other two members,
Col. Osborne and Capt Day, will de-
cline to make such report. Two out OF
three of the executive board, after care
full investigation, recommend dismissal.
While the people in Raleigh are en-
crossed with the Fair, the eyes of the
people of the State are upon the di-
rectors of the penitentiary who will sit
i'm Judgment. The people from Murphy
to Manteo have followed the evidence,
and they look to the board to go to the
bottom, learn the truth and to do
justice.

TO SELL OR NOT TO SELL COTTON

We desire to call the attention of the
cotton growers who will met in the CAPT
toll tonight in Cotton Growers Con-
yention to two significant editorials which
appears elsewhere in today's paper.
They are from two of the leading South
ern papers-papers that are ably and
carefully edited. They both declare that
cotton is worth eight cents a pound, and
are in line with the resolutions passed
by conventions in all parts of the South.
Tonight: "To sell now on a low mark
ct or to hold for eight CENTS" will be
one of the vital questions the cotton
farmers will have to meet. 1t is an inn
portant question, and means thousands
of dollars to the farmers of the State.
1t is gratifying to see so many cotton
farmers here, men who have studied
how to raise cotton, and when and how
TO sell it. A full and free discussion by
practical farmers will be of vast benefit
to the people of the State.

equally we'll qualified placed the
crop at lower figures. Neill has made
another estimate, and he now places the
crop at II 100000 bales, though no other
expert agrees with him, and Liverpool
buyers use his estimate to beat DOWN
prices New York cotton men, who
are necessarily interested in the size
of the crop, and who have been gathering
data, claim the crop viii not reach H.
100000 bales and estimates made in
the South place the crop at not over
100000 bales. and this seems to be
the general opinion of buyers and grow
ers in the South. There lis no official
mode of gathering these statistics, and
the estimates of men who have made
the question business for years have
to be taken. Hence it is that the estimate
of 100000 bale crop, made by
Neill, Just at the time lit was given TO
the public was unfortunate, for no one
else nearly agreed with him and com
fusion was the result. That consumers
in this territory do not believe the crop
will be over 100000 bales is shown
by the purchases they are making in
anticipation of ar advance in prices. In
creased consumption and decreased out

ton determined to tell the whole story
and to declare that the intrinsic value
of the incoming cotton was at least 8
cents a pound
The bears. however, were firm, and
i'm New York, Liverpool and Bremen
they stood together with firm front,
believing in the extravagances of Neill
as the warrant for keeping down the
price. Here it was that the powerful
agency of the Southern cotton mills
was fnlt. The mill-owners at home
could not be misled by Neill if those
abroad COULD and they determined to
stock themselves for the year rather than
to depend upon foreign rivals in trade
When New ork and Liverpool offered i
cents for cotton the local Nils made it
G15, and when Z was quoted, UP came
the Southern mills throughout the
South with ~! The revolution was
on! The mills of the South had for
the first time fixed the price, and the
New York and Liverpool bear had to
follow quie;.y along in the wake elf the
Southern hull!
Here, then. was a result never dream
ed of in the establishment Of our early
mills, and here is a fresh incentive for
Southern capital to continue an the de-
yelopment of cotton manufacturing.
Some time ago The Constitution quoted
Mr.. Hugh W. Inman, who knows the
value of IA dollar if amy man does, to
the effect that the freightage of cotton
from the South to New England alone
constituted sufficient margin of profit
upon which capitalist might safely
enter the milling business here. Fol-
lowing out the same reasoning the re-
mOval of the thousands o. high-salared
middlemen who are necessary to carry
the cotton from the South to old or New
England would leave such margin of
profit that the cotton producer would
never again be called upon to sacrifice
his crop at or , cents. The more mills
there are i'm the South, the more cot
tom will be consumed at home, and If
the mills abroad must lave it, they
must pay such ices as VIII get It,.
The Southern NH can always afford
TO nav mo.e for it ON the spOC than can
the mill in Fall River or Lancashire.
The Southern mills, working upon Il
short crop. have been enabled to thus
revolutionize the market this year. These
mills. doubled in number, can do the
same thing with the largest crop which
is possible to be raised in the cotton
area. In every neighborhOod in which
there is erected a cotton mill, it means
a half cent advance upon the market.
This is but one more proof that TO us
belongs the manufacturing of cotton as
we'll as it's production, and we must en-
ter the field with the determination that
in time there will not be a single bale
