THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK.

An exchange knew what it was
talking about when it published the
following: 1.-THE trade of town is
not all dependent upon the distance
to neighboring trading points. The
trade territory depends upon the en-
terprise of the merchants and resi-
dents of the town. If town does
not reach after trade it will come as
fast as it has to, and will grow as
fast as it is forced to grow. "-Ex.
This is as true as gospel peraching,
and especially the last clause. The
writer who furnished the article must
have had Greenville in his mind
eye. The question The Times puts to
the business men of Greenville is,
" What are you going to do abodt.it ?''
The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1903-11-07
TINE FACTS IN the CASE

We were unjustly criticized byIa
ssw members of the Greenville Cot''
ton Exchange last Thursday night at
the meeting of the Business League
for the article that appeared in last
weeks Times calling the citizens at
tention to the fact that the city trade
and cotton was being carried to other
places, due to the fact, as several
planters have said mot what The
Times editor said). "To the Cotton
Exchange, which increased the cost
Of handling cotton here, and which
meant less money to the seller, besides
keeping him out of his money for his
cotton for several weeks. Such state
ments were clearly shown at the meet
ing to be untrue. The Exchange has
no rule or regulation governing cost
Of handling cotton. 1t is left on the
commission men or buyers to charge
their own commission, and the money
Is not withheld but paid immediate
ly paid after the sale of the cotton.
Now, where the Cotton Exchange
was hurting the Greenville market,
as we and others saw it, was the
buying prohibiting clause in their
Rules and Regulations, forbidding
any person not member of the Ex-
change from buying cotton in the city
and also prohibiting any buyer of
the Exchange from buying in less
than 5O-bale lots. This kept the mer-
chant, who could afford paying
higher price, from buying, and drove
most of the wagon cotton away from
the city from which the merchant S
trade largely comes. But at their. meet
ing last Monday night this Rule,
No. IL, was rescinded, and cotton can
now be purchased by any buyer from
wagon or table Ill lots from one bale
up, paying the highest market price.
Now where one sells his own cotton
no charges will be made, but if it is
turned over to a factor, 90 cents on
the bale is charged. This is as fair as
any man could wish.
The Times article may have been
untimely and unwise as our Exchange
critics said, but we do not believe it.
Nor do many of tie business men of
the city in all professions who have
endorsed the article. The fact that
Greenville is 10, 600 bales short so far
this season, while the reports from
other places around us with less than
half the buyers Greenville has are
ahead of our last seasons receipts or
close to them, proved that something
was wrong and called for an investi-
cation. Now since it has been had,
and the true facts shown up, if our
cotton. factors and buyers will make
extra efforts to meet the buyers Of

BRING on YsvR COTTON.

The planter who imagines that he
is forced out of Greenville by low
priced cotton and high priced goods
will, ON approaching the city limits,
find that the fences are now all down,
and that great things are here in
store for him.
Every inducement that can be
offered him in an honest and legiti-
mate way to get his trade and buy
his products by our business people
will be made. and 1t matters not
what might have been the policy OF
the past towards him, the future will
be a most liberal one. We want and
need the planters money and infu.
ence to help us grow and prosper, and
the city guarantees full returns for
his cotton.
Live and let live should be the
policy of all cities and when the peo-
pie think that they can run city on
any other plan, because they imagine
the trade can buy nowhere else, they
will not have to wait long before they
will find the error Of their way and
see the small nsighboring towns
and their own city suffer
ing. This example and experience
Greenvillle has had.
But our people are now aroused.
Some contend that it is too late, but
we say that it is never too late to
change or do good. With the cotton
yet to be sold, the city will enjoy
good business before the end of the
year, and it is time enough to estab-
lish the truth to the wolrd that
Greenyille is the best cotton market
in the State, which will prove trade
magnet for next year.
Planters, bring on your cotton.

a WRONG MOVE.

With cyclones destroying life and
property of the colored people who
went from Mississippi to Oklahoma
Territory. and the nefro hangingc in
Arkansas, Texas and Tennessee, the
majority of the remainging colored
people in the State have about ar
rived at the conclusion that Missis-
sippi is not such poor State to live
in after all.
Hero they are free from cyclones
and can enjoy a peaceful plantation
life, and with Christmas jug, those
who remained will congratulate them
selves. No sensible negro is afraid Of
the coming vardaman administration.
1t is only the town loafer, gambler
and peace disturber who fears varda-
mans policy, and we'll he may, for
then he will have to give it up and 20

A TRAGIC END.

The killing of Mr. Frank Anderson
at Lake Villa. e, Ark. by negro last
Monday night is but the final reward
of a reckless life, and should be an
example to shun by the young boys
now growing to manhood. No boy
ever had more devoted mother, low
ing sisters, Or more honorable kins-
men than Frank Anderson, and in his
death the tender sympathy of their
friends in Mississippi has been sor-
rowfluly extended to them.

Senator German is hitting Roose-
welt right and left on the race ques-
lion in Maryland, and it is very
probable that the stand the Maryland
Democrats have taken ON this prob
lem will be followed by the Demo-
Gratis of other States. In his political
lectures around that State German
uses stereoptican views showing the
President and Booker Washington at
the White House, ETC., which have q
telling effect on his hearers. It's up
to Hearst to do something now.

The complaint from all points along
the railroads that cars cannot be had
to haul the cotton to market is SER
ions one. 1t is high time, after two
years of complaining, that the rail-
roads should be made to supply the
cars. But the planters who live
within twenty miles Of town can
wagon their cotton to the city, the
roads being in good condition and the
weather the finest ever seen.

KEEP OFF THE LEvEES.

On the front page of this issue
will be fonnd an appeal from DR.. j..
T. Atterbury, president of the levee
board of this district, to the people of
the district, asking them to keep off
the levees, to not use them as road :
ways, and otherwise be antagonistic
to better leeve protection.
Every child in the levee sections
knows that the levees are the saliva
ton of this country, and surely the
wiser heads should not be guilty of
hindering their construction and
maintenance. We do rot personally
know of such cases as DR.. Atterbury
cites in his appeal, but there can be
no doubt of the truth of his state
ments. It is something to be deplored
t.iat the people of levee districs
have to be appealed to to protect
themselves. -
What county boards of supervisort
have been guilty of the misdemeanor
IF receiving money to build roadways
away from the levee and then not
fulfill their parts of the contracts. we
do not know, but it is to be hoped
that Washington county is not one of
the number. If she is, the first thing
our county dads should do is to right
their part in the wrong Immediately.
Every one knows the needs and
uses of levees, and it is waste of
time and space to dilate on what has
already becn written on this subject
The only thing to do is fol the peo-
pie to act in hearty cooperation with
the board in their efforts to maintain
levee protection, and not be as a
block to their work

KEEP YOUR EYE ON JOHN SHARPE.

Some of the State papers are boost
ing United States Senator McLaurin
for vice president in the next national
campaign. We recognize in Senator
McLaurin many good qualities. He
stands pat on the race question. Since
his incumbency in the office he has
worked earnestly for his constituents,
End while the people of Mississippi
might like to see him SO honored, it
is doubtful whether the Democrats
of the country would consider him a
possibility.
On the other hand, however, there
is Hon. John Sharpe Williams, of
Yazoo, one of our present representa-
tives. True, he is not after national
political honors at present. and we do
no. know that he ever will be. He
is probably the brainiest young
member the House of Representatives
has had in years. His power and
influence in Democratic councils is
every year, and there is no
telling where his possibilities are
limited. Marx this prediction: Keep
your eye on John Sharpe Williams,
and it will be but few years hence,
when he will be numbered among
the most prominenG Democrats in the
United States.
