HOW High wiz Cotton got
Charlotte Chronicle,

Charlotte Chronicle,
Il am afraid to say how high |
think cotton wlll.go. said u To-
cal dealer in the. staple in reply
to a question from a Chronicle
reporter today. Spot cotton isl
selling at II cents; and v ou
would naturally suppose t h a t
the farmers would rush all they
had upon the market but such is
not the case. A great many far.
mers believe cotton will go much
higher, and | do not believe that
those who hold the cotton will be
disappointed
"How much higher will il GO
asked the reporter. "Will IT reach
IL 1-2 cents?"
"Yes, it will reach II ID cents.
but it won't stop there, Why,
man, if were a farmer and had
cotton, I would ho!dit until next
spring with the expectation OF
selling it for twelve or thirteen
cents. The cotton market will
give some wild exhibitions with
| in the next few months and no
man is prepared to saywhat fg-
ure the staple will sell at mex t
spring.
"The trouble with cotton is,"
continued the gentleman, chat
the demand is increasing con-
stantly while the production is
not increasing. l am Of the opin-
ion that we have reached the linn
it of production, and if time
should prove the correctness OF
this opinion, it isunnecessary to
say that the planters may never
again live in the dread OF starva
ton for their staple. crop"
A cotton manufacturer to
whom the matter was mention
cd, ridiculed the idea that cotton
would go anything like fifteen or
eighteen cents. He said:s What l
lear at present is n. break in cot
ton. The market is off today a.
bout thirty points, though rhe
local spot market remains stea-
dy al eleven cents. Whileit may
sound strange for a mill man to
deprecate a break in the cotton
market, do not want to see the
price go down just now, because
| believe 1t would have a bad ct.

LETTER.


Il b
Senator Dietrich, rppubll
can from Nebraska, has had
little success in inducing
the President, Attorney Gen
lersl or bis republican col
leagues to aid in saving him
from the indir ment for brl
bery and corruption found
against him by the Federal
Grand Jury olOmaha, in con
nection with the appoint
ment OF Jacob Fiber to he
postmaster ut Hastings, Me-
brask. Nineteen OF the TWEEN
lty members OF thpjnry which
were chosen from all lover the
state, voted the Indictment.

with receiving 81 ,300in mon

Join him, in declaring. that
the charges are the result Of

that there were at least some
grave irregularities in the
manner in which Fisher was
appointed and there are still
many rumors OF other and Sc
rious charges in connection
with the Nebraska appoint
m5nts.
1t appears that Senator
Detrlch put up a building in
Hastings and had the local
postoffice transferred To it
from tha building owned by
a branch of the Grand Army.
: The Grand Army men owned
the postoffice fixtures, which
: were now useless to them.
The Senator had to accept
, less rent for the Office than he
J at first asked. Fisher was a.
mong the applicants for the
: appointment of postmaster,
and he promised, in case he
received the place, to buy the
fixtures from the Grand Ar
nv and to pay Senator Diet
rich tLa difference between
the rent he received and what
D he asked. These payments
we're made fOrseveral months
until the Senator stopped
them and returned the mon
ey to Fisher. Last June the
case was bsfore the grand ju
ry, but District Attorney W
D S. Summers, suppressed the
charges in order to get in
structions from the Depart
nent of Justice in Washing

The Geishn.

"Gelsha," the professional girl en-
tertainer of Japan, is by no means to
be confounded with ''geinin," says
Japan and America The word geisha
really means actor, "ger' meaning a
play or entertainment Of any sort, and
"sha" means a person. For instance,
i-sha means physician, and so on. The
word really means what actor" does
In English, but it has come to mean
only those girls in Japan who are
trained to entertain by dancing ana
singing to the shamisen and koto, the
usual musical instruments for light en-
tertainments, and they also are trained
to converse agreeably on topics OF the
day. "Geinin," on the other hand,
while it really means the same thing
us geisha, has now come to be applied
to artists, in a higher sense.
