CIRCULAR
GETS MERRY
HA! HA!
Local Mill Men Not Inclined
to Look Upon SuI|y's Etfusion
Seriously.

The Suily circular letter Ito the cotton
spinners OF the United States which
proposes a gigantic pool OF s275coO to be
used in campaign OF public education"
has caused considerable comment among
mill men.
People as a rule know but comparatively
httls of cotton--of course the manufsc-
turers know all about 1t, but they are in
ciined to think Mr.. Sully has undertaken
. big contract to educate the public upon
the subject of cotton.
Several OF the leading manufacturers
at the state have already been asked their
opinion upon the Suuy tract. and. AL
though they have not cared TO be quoted.
did say quite enough to show that the
plan had not been met with open arms or
any particular enthusiasm. One said IL
w~s q wild cat scheme" while another
hooked upon the whole AZ huge Joke and
chat the principal point about II was It's
tssins 20 impractical
Yes. I've read the circular" said one
81 the best known manufacturers In the
state "and found II very amusing. Mr..
tendency Of his proposition Is to boom
cotton quite as much as TO help the situa-
tfon In the cotton goods market The idea
ls entirely impractical. People cannot
wait 90 long for n scheme OF that sort TO
BE carried out
St1ll another manufacturer said: II
cont believe anything will come of this
scheme. n Isn't a thing that will work
out In a practical wey. for tho market
conditions would adjust themselves be-
ecre any effect could come from this sort
OF q movement. As near a. I can find
out. no one looks on II as a good invest.
pnent. II any manufacturer can see the
situation from Mr.. 5ully's standpoint II
may be a good thing TO 60 into. but the
trouble II we don't know what the sftua-
tion really In. or whore we stand We
have an idea that the high price OF cot
con IL the result. largely. of manipulation
by Mr.. Suliy.'
on the whole II seems the general opin-
ton is that Mr.. Sully Is working up quite
ss big a reputation n a humorist as he
has undoubtedly made a SUCCESS IN boom
ing his side of the cotton market
