WhatC Cornering Cotton Means
to Mill Operatives.
ADDRESS BY WALMSTREY
The President of the New England Cotton Man
ufac'urers' Association CongratuIates the
South on the Great Develop ment
of its Resources,
of its Resources.
(By the Associated Press }

Lenox. Mass, Sept. 30.-When President
Herbert E. Walmstrey, of New Bedford,
today gave the call for order in the semi
annual meeting of the New England Cot
ton Manufacturers Association, nearly 200
members were present.
In his address President Walmstrey
urged the young men in the association
to come to the front and assume their
share in the work of the association. He
referred to the unsatisfactory condition
of the cotton trade at the present time,
and said the past few months had been
one of the nest difficult periods ever ex-
perienced.
1.-The prevailing quietude in the trade, "
he said, has undoubtedly been intensified
by the raw material situation.
1T is a deplorable circumstance" he
continued, that the pernicious practice
of cornering such a necessary staple as
cotton should be possible demoralizing
and paralyzing for the time being an in
dustry of such immense wealth to indi-
viduals and to the nation as that of cotton
manufacturing throging out of employ
ment and reducing to the verge of star
walton the thousands of families whose
very existence sdependent upon the con-
tinued and steady operation of the factor
les where they find employment. The
baneful influence of this speculative ma
nipulation of cotton is a matter for serious
concern, and for which there can be no
justification whatsoever.
"The force of these considerations should
surely be sufficient to justify some con
certed and united action towards putting
stop to the gambling operations which
inflict such widespread suffering and in
jury upon so many and such important
interests
In referring to the cotton manufacturing
in the South, President Walmstrey said:
eve warmly congratulate the South on
the great development of its natural and
industrial resources. There is surely am
pie room for both North and South.
The supremacy of cotton manufactur
ing in New England will continue to be
unassailable."
resolution was adopted requesting the
State Department at Washington to give
the association all possible information in
regard to the needs of foreign countries
in the cotton market This is understood
to indicate that the New England man
ufacturers will pay more attention than
hitherto to the expectation of cotton
goods.

Merchants and Farmers Bank OF
New Bern, who left New Bern some
weeks ago and has not since been
heard from. There was a large
shortage in his ac- unit, variously
estimated at from 100000 tc
$135,OOO. The capital stock of
the hank was $4,000.
The State Bank Examiner discov-
cred some irregularities or short
age in his accents on Friday, July

1st Dewey came to Raleigh, and no
trace has been heard Of him since
a little after midnight, when he
is supposed to have taken the mid
night train on the Seaboard Air
Lines bound for the North.
The Merchants and Farmers
Bank offered large reward for
his arrest, the Governor offered a
reward, his picture, with the re-
ward offered, was printed all over
the country, but nothing has been
heard from him from the hour of
his departure until the editor of
the News and Observer received a
letter from him yesterday after
noon. The letter was not address,
