The Cotton Crop.
Editor HE TIMEs:

EQllOr 1AE LINES.
In your two last issues you have
said you had many inquiries as to
the policy of holding or selling cot
ton and gave as your opinion that
the true policy was to sell as soon as
it was ready for market. / endorse
your views If farmer will prac-
tice it for life have no doubt but
what it is the true policy. A farmer
never should speculate, but it some
times occurs that customs change,
and from my observation for series
of years l think that the time has
arrived for change of base. A few
years back when a sood many Of US
were on the wrong side of the fence
when short crop was reported and
we thought cotton was certain to ad-
vance we failed to look at the condi-
ton of things. The market was full
of manufactured goods and no de-
mand for them; many mills shut
down, others running on half time;
in fact business of all kinds was in a
bankrupt condition.
Now if Mr.. Neil's twelve million re-
port is correct, though every sensible
man is satisfied it is not, by at least
two million bales, there would not be
cotton enough to supply the demand
of our country, and those we trade
with would be short OF goods. Our
trade is increasing in foreign coun-
tries, our mills have orders ahead for
months and they are compelled to
have the cotton.
England is playing bluff game.
Whenever cotton goes up a few
points in New York they throw
heavy blocks on the market and de-

press it and at the same time they
have their agents in all the inland
towns buying at 4 heavy advance on
the past market which is governed
by the New York and European
markets. and if our Southern mills
don't look out they will be caught
without a supply to run their mills,
and nothing would crafty both the
European and Northern mills more
than that would, but l hope they
will see and understand the game
they are playing and not be caught
as the American people were in 1921
and 1922 by the Rothschilds of Eu-
rope. There was very little cotton
made then; we had no mills at all,
even across the waters. In 1921 they
sent their agents over here; at that
time cotton ran in price say from 25
to 80 cents: they scattered their
agents over the cotton belt; no one
suspicioned them. a would give say
2Gc, B would give 4 27c, G would give
B 2Sc, and D would give c 29c, and y
would come in again and give d 30c:
and so continue it on through the
season. If a man wanted to make So
all he had to do was to buy q sound
bale of cotton of 300 pounds and he
had it, and they ran it up to ,5c 4
pound. Ny father sold a bale of cot
ton at Newberry Court House for 75c
a pound. They worked it on till
they got the whole country in it and
then unloaded on the Americans,
took their profits and left. They are
now trying to work a similar game
and ii our people do not keep sharp
lookout they will be caught mapping.
If we have made a twelve million
crop we will need every bale of it be-
fore another crop is made unless our
mills shut down, which they won't
do so long as it pays to run them.
Everything is on a boom, why should
not cotton, which is the staple of the
world, as it is used in every land?

The ewes of the world are some
what turned from the Philippines
now and centered upon dispute
that is going on in the old world be-
tween England and the Transvaal Re
public in South Africa. England, OF
course, is the greatest nation IN ali
Europe, while the Transvaal IS only
a small country in the southern part
of Africa, and the principles and mo-
tives underlying the whole dispute
are similar to those underlying our
trouble in the Phiippines-a war for
conquest and simple acquisition of
property and territory. The question
ina nutshell is that the Transvaal is
country formerly settled principally
by Dutch emigrants from Holland,
commonly known as Beers, and with
the fertility of the soil and the rich
ness of the gold mines within the
past few decades quite a progressive
republic has been established. Pres
ident Kruger, quite diplomatic and
acute statesman OF the Beers is at
the head of the Transvaal govern
ment, and his correspondence with
Lord Salisbury, prime minister of
England and Joseph Chamberlain,
secretary for the colonies, have shown
him to be statesman and diplo-
mat of no mean ability. Bat moth
ing seems to satisfy England short Of
a franchise upon the gold mining in
dustries of tie TransvaaI. The emf
grafton from England and India, one
of England's greatest colonies, to the
Transvaal to engage in gold mining
only furnishes an excuse for various
questions, such as citizenship, boun-
Diary lines, ETC., the real purpose be-
ing England's desire to control the
gold mines OF South Africa. It looks
like war is inevitable, and England is
despatching troops to South Africa,
while the Orange Free State, an ad-
joining republic in South Africa, says
that the Transvaals interests are also
her interests, and she will stand or
fall with the Transvaal. SO that if
war comes, while England will con-
quer in the end, yet with the two
South African republics combined
and England having to send troops
several thousand miles, it will at least
be enough to interest the greedy old
mother country.

Advices to the Filipino jnnta
in London, via Hong Kong, of
the 10Th inst, says: 1.-The Fill
pino government. in accordance
with the general feeling of the
country, has decided to continue
the war at all costs until indie
pendence is secured. The Fill
pinos energetically refuse the
American peace overtures, based
on restricted autonomy, coupled
with promises of subsequentself
government. The Filipinos de-
mand strict fulfllment of the
articles of the American Consti-
tuition and treaties contracted
by the American representa-
tives when imploring Filipino
alliance in combating the Span
iards. All the Filipino generals
support Aguinaldo. General
Luna's reported overture for
peace is untrue. Our army is
near Manila, simultaneously at
tacking the whole American
line. Heat and rains are caus-
ing many casualties IN the
American army. All the hos
pitals are crowded with sick and
wounded. -Four hundred of the
Cincinnati regiment have been
imprisoned by General Otis for
insubordination in refusing to
fight. The regular troops quar-
tered at Manila and other towns
are quiet. The volunteers are
abused, and are always at the
front with scanty rations. The
discomfort between Americans
and Europeans is general. "
