THE PRICE OF COTTON.

One of the largest cotton farmers in
Eastern North Carolina, as well as one
of the wealthieSt business men, in n
private note to the editor, says:
II think your advice to the farmers
to hold their cotton is good, and hope
You will put in an article ON the subject
every week. We will have n short crop
in this section by one-third."
A special to the New York CONNER
cial says that the cotton supply is less
than the consumption. We quote:
Louisville, Sept. 24.-Harry p. Gum
Their, the cotton commission merchant
of Memphis, who was here yesterday,
spent all the summer until August DIST
in travelling over the cotton belt and
in sending out agents.
Mr.. Gmther says he is convinced now
that Europe will take 100000 bales,
that the North will take 2,240,000 and
the South 1,S40.000-a total of 1850
600. The crop VIII fall under 100000
bales. hence the present stocks will have
to be drawn upon at increasing values.
"'rhis is the first time in my exper-
ence," said Mr.. Gunther, THAT / nave
known a crop inadequate to consumption
to be grown when there was a demand
for cotton goods. A poor crop has been
accompanied by poor business. This
years the mills are selling all their godos
before they make them, and you can
Judge what that means
A correspondent, who signs himself
Murray, writes as follows IN the Char
lotte Observer:
To the Editor:
f'Cotton will be cents in January
and 10 cents in May"
This statement startled all who heard
it and the man was called ON for the
proof:
He said: ''Put together these things
and it is plain:
L. The cotton mills will use 11,000,-
600 of bales.
There are 100000 bales of last
years crop now ON hand, but of this
100000 bales are bad cotton.
There will be 100000 bales Tor at
most 9,500,000) raised this year, making
the supply only 100000 bales of good
cotton.
IL A syndicate will buy and hold
100000 of the best cotton, as it will
cost only $70,000,000.
80. The cotton mills cannot afford to
stop, as they are making over 80 per
cent So they will see this. and hence
will begin to buy years supply, which
will put cotton ait ) cents by January.
80 In May the mills, not supplied
will have to pay that syndicate 10 cents
or shut down. They can make money
even when cotton is 10 cents, and they
will give it.
Will the mills squeezed by the syn
dictate be in the South, or in the North,
or in Eurepe? | hope it will be Mr.
Neill's friends and followers.
MURRAY.
There is every Indication that cotton
will go up in price, and the above state
ments give some reasons why farmers
should not he i'm hurry to sell their
crop. Yesterday we printed the details
Of an arrangement by which farmers
near Raleigh can get advances on their
cotton on reasonable terms. We have
no doubt that the bankers and business
men in other sections Of Eastern North
Carolina can make arrangements for
farmers in their sections to Sc
cure advances on their cotton so rs to
prevent it's all being dumped on the
market at one time.
Farmers, hold your cotton.

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon a diseased
condition of the nervous system. The
victim of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
overp0wering to be conquered by resO-
lntions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
Epond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness of the

himself as it seems inexcusable to his

thoughtful voters because nobody IN
America believes that amy considerable
number of men Of any party are lacking

Roosevelt, said the Ohio Democrats were

that their criticism of the Philippine

A foul breath is one of the
greatest affections that a man or
woman can have. An aff1iction
not only to themselves, but to
those with whom thew come IN
contact. A foul breath is a great
dl>courager of affection. It
would probably be more SO if peo-
pie only realized just what bad
breath means. Bad breath is
one OF the symptoms of consti>
patton. Some Of the other sylnp-
toms are sour stomach, loss of
appetite, sick and bilious head
ache, dizziness, heartburn and
distress after eating: These
things mean indigestion. They
lead to dyspepsia and worse
things. They all start with con-
stipation, and constipation is in
excusable because it can be
cured-cured easily, quickly and
permanently, by the use of DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
give to Nature just the little help
that she needs. There is no case
of biIlousness, constipation, midi
gestion, 'heartburn," or any of
the rest of the nightmare
breeding brood, that these little
"Pellets' will not cure.

Fighting the FiIipinOs

Washington, Feb. 24.-General
Otis cabled today the following:
"On the night of the 2lst and
22d and yesterday morning the
insurgent troops gained access to
the outskirts CT the city be-
hind our lines and about 1000
entrenched themselves. They
were completely routed yester-
day, with a loss in killed and
wounded of about 500. Two
hundred prisoners were taken.
Our loss is very slight. The city
is quiet, confidence restored, busi-
ness progressing"
Secretary Long took to the
cabinet meeting this morning
some cipher cablegrams from
Admiral Dewey, dated this morn
ing. One says: "For political
reasons the Oregon should he
sent here at once" Another
cabled that the yorktown had
arrived, and the Charleston and
Petrol were cruising around the
Filipines. Affairs here are more
quiet
Admiral Dewey's cable asking
that the battleship Oregon be
hurried to Manila has caused the
officials to believe that affairs in
the Filipino Islands are very seri-
Gus. The dispatch causes the
greatest apprehension. It is IN
ferred that trouble with the Ger
mans is expected.
