Why Coarse Goods Cannot Now be Made.

GREENvILLE, Sept. lS.-Nothipg that
hrs occurred iii the Southern industrial
world for long time has excited rs
much interest as the announced intcn-
ton OF the South Carolina cotton mills
on coarse goods to run shcrt time.
The most important Of these mills are
the following: The three mt Piedmont,
the three ut Pclzcr, the three at Cliff
ton, the two mills of the Anderson
company, tho Belton mill, the Abbc-
vile, Ncwberry, Rccdy River, Whit
ney, Pacolet and Glendale mills and
the Orr mill ut Anderson. These mills
manufacture what is known rs stand
ard drills and 3-yard shcctings, that is
three yards Of goods to the pound.
They also make 3s-yard and 4-yard
shcetings. The above list includes, Sc
far as can learn, every mill in the
State manufacturing coarse goods.
Those on fine goods sell to The domestic
market and are not affected by the war
i'll China. The fine goods mills have
orders ahead sufficient to pay them to
run on full time even with II cents cot
ton. But with 3-yard goods ut st cents
the coarse goods mills cannot afford to
manufacture cotton at II cents.
a leading mill president TO- day told
me that for these mills to continue un-
der existing conditions would mean Il
loss'of 30 cents per loom every day
This would soon eat UP dividends and
capital. There are two causes for tho
trouble. If either cause were absent
the mills could continue. Fist, cottol
is II cents, cents higher than ono
year ago; second, the Chinese troubles
have closed the principal market fol
coarse goods and the exporters are no.
buying ut Improbable prices. Their.
is no other market for these goods save
China, and already one third Of the
English mills has shut down com.
| pletely, while another onc-t third il
running half time. The two larges
coarse goods mills in New England
the Peperill and Laconia, have alst
shut down. These latter mills wanted
the Southern mills to shut down, bu
for the sake Of the employees they re
fused and will stop running only por
tion of the time. l am told the twt
Augusta mills are closed also. AS con
sequence Of this condition, these mills
have withdrawn from the market fo
cotton, though few Of them are wei
stocked, but the fine goods mills be-
sides having remunerative orders
ahead are also well stocked with raw
cotton. 1t is possible the exporters ar'
holding down prices believing South
crn mills won't shut down, but tn,
mills have called this. bluff aud thei
action may soon settle the trouble
especially if cotton falls off. Refusa
to shut down is really kindness no
only to operatives but to the countr.
generally. Some of these mills ar
also changing to fine goods rs rapid,
as p0ssible.-C0r. Columbia State.

Hold or Sell.

"Shall hold or sells' That question
is worrying the cotton producers as
much now as when the price was only
five cents. 1t is quite natural. Not
withstanding the prevailing high prices,
few farmers like the idea Of selling at
10a when perhaps, within 30 days or co
days, they might get 12a.
The farmer is at sea in regard to the
matter and SO is everybody else; but
still there arc certain facts that should
receive consideration.
The mills at this time arc no less per-
picked than are the farmers. The price
of cotton has been advancing at more
rapid rate than the price of yarns, and
the situation has been disturbing to a
degree. The mill people have become
30 anxious that they have held numer-
Que meetings on the subject, and hnye
concluded that about the best thing is
TO curtall production by closing down
entirely or fewer hours.
There is q feeling among some of the
cotton producers that the mills are try-
ing to depress prices; but this feeling
is hardly we'll grounded in fact. OF
COursc, tnc hill people want q renSOna-
able margin between the raw material
and the manufactured product; and so
long as this margin is satisfactory thcy
DO not care anything about tho price Of
either cotton or yarn.
The closing of the mills has its effect
on the cotton market. There is no
question of that. 1t also has it's effect
on the manufactured goods market.
Advance in the price Of manufactured
goods increases the margin of profit
between goods and raw material. and
with the increase of this margin there
is an increase in the keenness Of the
mills tOget to work again. Come when
it may, the demand Of tho mills for
cotton will advance prices.
While in our opinion it is easily DOS
sible that speculation in New York and
Liverpool r!ay carry the price of COT
ton lower than it is now, under the
natural laws of trade the. position of
the st.lpfe has not been stronger for
years.. Tae success Of the mills in
raising the price of their goods will
mako the position of raw cotton still
stronger. People who have cotton,
therefore, need not be very greatly
alarmed about the possibility of tho
bottom falling ont OF present prices.
The chances are that they will. be able
to sell at still better figures. There
has never been time when, to all aD-
pearances, they had more complete
control of the whole situation - Fork

Cotton Growers Convention Call.

Below is the text of the call for the
Cotton Growers Convention to he held
in Columbia during fair week:
The Cotton Growers Association is
hereby called to meet in Columbia OIL
October 3lst ut 500 y. III.
A State convention of cotton grow
crs met at Greenwood, Sept. 12th,. 1000.
1t was then decided after due dclibera-
ton to perfect State organization and
officers were duly elected for one year
until Sept. 18th, 1901.
1t was decided to cOmpactly organize
each county in this State with view
OF getting the more accurate report of
the ginning and marketing of the cot
ton and to interchange views and in
formation from all the cotton States,
for tho purpose Of obtaining fair and
just prices for our cotton and cotton
seed products. Upon my suggestion
an adjournment Of the Cotton Grow
ers' Convention at Greenwood was had
to meet in Columbia during fair week
ut my call; therefore, 1 name October
31st, at S:30p M, as the time for the
convention to meet in the city of Co
iumbia at the county court house.
Let each county be fully represented
by delegations. The number of dele
gates is not to be restricted. All coun-
ties arc urged to organize at once by
elccting president, one vice presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer and adj
vising board or executive committee.
The constitution and bylaws of the
State of Georgia have been adopted as
far as they apply to South Carolina.
Bonded warehouses to be established
at all local markets wherever required
by the banks and members of the as
sociation.
Warehouse receipts to be issued and
negotiated at nearest bank--as collat-
cral security fer money borrowers.
Each producer shall control the in
dividual sale; if he desires to dispose
of his cotton before minimum price
fixed by the association is offered by
the buyer he shall be at perfect liberty
to do so.
A fair and just price for cotton and
cotton seed can be fixed and maintain
ed in open markets in the South by
united concert Of action, by holding
back the surplus crop, if any there be,
and marketing the crop during the
twelve months of the year to meet the
demands of the mills in all,parts Of the
world.
Ginners throughout the cotton belts
will be supplied with postal cards al :
dressed to headquarters of the State
bureau, with request that each Satur-
day night the number of bales ginned
that week will be forwarded.
The secretaries of the county organi-
cations will be in close touch with the
producers and careful estimates made
on existing crop conditions will be sent
weekly to the board.
The cotton grower has the crop bet
ter in hand to-day than he has had for
| 30 years, and he is warned that he has
| no reason to become unduly alarmed
over the report that the mills arc clos
ing down to depress fair price of cot
| ton. You are reminded that when cot
ton sold as high as 30 cents pound it
was manufactured.
Let us organize, let us work, watch
| and continue to labor.
All parties interested in growing,
marketing, ginning and handling OF
the crop are invited to send delegates.

Augusta Chronicle.
One of the sights for the Confederate
veterans to view when they come to
wagon works building. This old build
ing has much greater history than
the thousands of people who pass it
daily would ever suppose. The build
ing is well known from its present use, ,
but in the great crowds that will come

may recall the comforts given by a

even on the building where these
