North CarOlinians In the Cotton Corner.

North CarOlinians In the Cotton Corner.
Now, Brown is not alone. Other
New Orleans men are believers
strong as he in the logic of higher
cotton prices. The principal bulls,
the leaders of the campaign for the
rise, are w. P. Brown and Com
pany, Vincent and Hayne, and Ma
son Smith and Company. Brown is
from Mississippi, Hayne and Smith
are North Carolinians. The "crowd"
are thus Southerners.
Their campaign differs from those
of Price and Sully in that it has
been conducted in a systematic and
businesslike manner. It is the re-
suit of careful study, though it has
been as dashing as a cavalry charge.
All of them are men who for years
have been engaged in the legitimate
business of buying and selling cot
ton rather than specializing in "con-
tracts" They are among the largest
exporters of cotton in this country
and they sell to manufacturers the
world over. They have long done
an enormous "free-on-board" bust
ness. They have bought cotton from
the planters direct, shipped it to
New Orleans, and from there placed
it on board steamers and sent it to
Liverpool, to Havre, to Antwerp, to
Hamburg, or forwarded it to the
New England mills.
They know, from first to last, alb
solutely all about cotton: how it is
grown, and where and by whom, and
the quality each section produces
and the quantity; and who buy it and
how much they buy; and when and
how they buy and what they do with
it after they buy it; and how much
some people know about cotton and
how much a great many others don't
know. They are in the cotton-buying
and selling business-the actual cot
ton, remember. Men like Brown and
don't make cotton sell in the
Cotton Exchange at one cent a
pound less than it costs to produce
it, as bear spectators have done;
and yet it is the bear spectators,
chiefly, who call Brown and Hayne
dangerous madmen and mere gamb-
ers.-Saturday Evening Post.

M'LAUGHLIN,s HORSES
They Are Such as to Delight Anima
Lovers.

William Mclaughlin, of the firm Of
Mclaughlin Bros, Columbus, Ohio, is in
Topeka this week with $4,000 worth of
Percheron and French coach horses
which will be exhibited at the state fair.
The exhibit consists of II head of horses,
the pick of a shipment of 167 horses re-
Gently imported direct from France by
Mclaughlin Bros.
Among these horses is Sigebert, the
most renowned PercherOn stallion in the
world. Sigebert is a 4-year-old, and the
most aristocratic equine blood of France
flows in his veins. He secured the first
prize at the great annual show of
France in June 1903. Last week he Sc
cured first prize at the Ohio STATE fair.
Syivain,, another of the splendid
Percherons in the exhibit. is a 3-year-oid
and has twice been winner at the big
French shows.
Bouquet, 2-year-old. is the winner
of the first prize at the Percheron show
at Nogent lie Retou, France.
The IL horses to be exhibited include
not only the Percherons, but fine line
of French coach horses. The horses are
so valuable that they are shipped by the
Adams Express company in an express
car on the fast trains. 1t Is too uncer-
tain business as to trust them to the
usual stock trains.
Mclaughlin Bros. are the largest inn
porters of costly French horses in the
country. They have just completed one
of the largest and most complete stables
in America at Kansas City. Mo, and
they also have a large plant at St. Paul,
MINI. This fall they have shown at the
Ohio, Minnesota and Iowa state fairs.
Their French coach horses have not sus-
tanned one defeat for the prizes in
classes which they were entered for
competition, and they have won 20 first
prizes on their Percherons in the p
classes shown.
The management of the Kansas state
fair is to be congra tulated at having Of
fered sufficient inducements to bring
this wonderful collection of Percherons
and French coach horses to Topeka. 1t
will be one of the strong features of the
horse show, and is worth the time of
any visitor at the fair who is interested
in fine horsef1esh.

TAKING The COAL
Railroads Are COnfiscating All
the Fuel.

They Say. -
MIR. NORTON EXPLAINS.
G. j. Devlin's Manager Places
Blame on Miners.
MIR. NORTON EXPLAINS.
Says That They Are Too Ex-
acting and Unreasonable.

The latest DEVELOPMENTS of the coal
situation in Kansas indicates that the
retailer and consumer will have to con-
tend with other things besides the coal
trust. The railroads are cOn@-Scating
coal shipped to the coal companies over
their lines, as the new law gives them
a right to do. A shortage of coal is
given as the reason for this action on
the part of the railroads. They have
not enough coal Of their own on hand,
and consequently they are taking that
which belongs to some one else in order
to keep their trains running and their
shops in operation. This condition ex-
lists not only upon the lines of the
Santa Fe but also on the lines of all
other roads in Kansas
This condition is already having its
results. As the consequence of the re-
cent cold wave, retailers have received
more orders than they can possibly
handle. in view of the fact that the
railroads have confiscated. the coal
which was shipped to them and have
left them n very small supply with
which to satisfy the exceptionally large
demand.
The Southwestern Fuel company is
one of the many coal companies that
IS suffering as the result of the con-
fscation of coal. This company is do
ing all IL can to furnish its customers
Wi-n coal. but on account of the coal
shortage many complaints are received
One case Is cited where J. H Stuart of
Sll Madison street. ordered eight tons
OF cSal on August 10 and has not yet
received even a portion of his order.
Mr.. Stuart Is naturally much excited
over the situation. 1t IS stated that not
one car of coal shipped to the coal COM
parios during the last two weeks from
the Usage district has reached here
me railroads have taken it all, and the
coal companies are left with none tc
supply the demand Of the public. The
seriousness of the situation will be
1uilN realized when 1t is known thai
although the coal from the Usage dis
trict is not steam coal and under
ordinary conditions is not used bv tht
railroad companies. those same com.
panies are taking every bit of it they
can lay their hands upon, and are usfrrs

1t Is stated that local coal companies
nave some coal on hand but unless the
railroads discontinue their action TIL.
supply will soon run short Coal from
the Wear City, Usage and F'rohteials
districts is scarce. Some coal is now or
the way from those districts but wheth
er II will ever reach here without the
railroads getting their hands on it is :
matter for conjecture.
The question which puzzles local mer
who are interested in the coal situation
is, why did not the railroads store
enough coal last summer, when Their,
was plenty of tiri1e,to last them through

mines in operation and as things now
stand it takes the best of management
and best of brains to possibly make any
money in the coal business. AS | said
before, the miners are responsible for
the present scarcity of coal. If they will

not be long before enough coal can be

they continue to work as they have done
