COL. 0RR's ADVICE.

In advising the farmers to hold
their cotton for higher prices Col. j,
l.. Orr takes very unusual position
for cotton mill president, and yet it
is logical position.
AS Col, Orr says, The interests OF
the Southern mills and the Southern
farmers are identical in a great many
respects.
1t is to the interest of both to keep
the price of cotton on a reasonable
and business like basis.
AS president of two of the largest
cotton mills in the South Col. Orr
naturally wants to buy his cotton as
cheaply as he can. Yet he wants the
price of cotton to be higher than it is
now, and he wants the price to be
stoady the year round.
It is the great and sddden ffuctua.
tions in the market that hurt every
body, farmers aad mills alike. Nat
urally Southern mill man doesn't
want to see the price of cotton fall
two or three cents pound after he
has purchased supply and mills in
other parts of the country be given
the advantage of lower prices. Nor,
on the other hand, does he want to
see the, price advance two or three
cents pound in as many weeks after
he has contracted to deliver goods
on a basis of low price cotton. Both
these things are possible, and do
occur, under present conditions.
The Southern mills and the South.
ern farmers should work together to
regulate and control the price of cot
ton. We doubt if either can succeed
by working independently, or by
fii hitting the other.
n Cotthn is Southern product
The price should be controlled in the
South, and the price can be controlled
in the South. 1t is to the interest of
all Southern people manufacturers
bankers, merchants and farmers as
well-to work together to this end.
This has been the position of this
newspaper for long time, and wa
have been urging it in season and
out of season. II is very gratifying
therefore, to have Col. Orr, and so
many other leading and influential
men, coming to our way of thinking
Daily Mail.

may ask; Why not weed them out :?
Probably there is not paper In the
country thai has not weeded more or
less, and after the process they be.
lievcd their list was composed of ali
prompt payers. When man sub
scribes it is reasonable to suppose ne
intends to pay, but when pay day
comes MANY are found wanting"
Now comes the question. "Who pays
the fiddler?" Why those who pay
for their paper, of course. You may
not see it in that light, because the
price semains the same, but you buy
your paper for its contents. Now, If
the Editor has "his nose at the grind
stone," and is busy trying to make
both ends meet, he cannot give you
what you have right to expect for
your money. Just try parceling out
your cotton for few years among a
couple of thousand customers on
Gre lit and see if you arc not anxious
TO get down on business sbnsis.
No, friends, you people who pay for
your paper are notthe class we ore
after, aud we do noi wish you to take
"cash in advance" as retle ction on
your credit, but as an ear nest de-
sire on our part to give you a paper

friends will consider the matter in
that light.

FARMERS, HOLD YOUR COTTON
1t Would be Suicide to Sell Now, SAYS
Col. 0rr-The Arguments he
Puts Forth.

In an interview with n representa-. ,
tive of The Greenville News on last
Wednes sday, Col. James L. Orr, Pre9.
ident of the Piedmont Manufacturing
Company, said it would be suicidal
for the furmers,of the South to sell
their cotton at 1,2 cents, when they
would undoubtedly receive higher
prices later on. He believes that
nine cents will he paid if the farm seri
will only agree to hold. II
Col. Orr was asked what he thought
of the cotton aud goods situation. He
replied that it was badly mixed
There will unquestionably be large
crop, he said, but not as large as the
government estimates, and he would
rather trust the giuners' report, which
to his mind, indicated crop Of H..
GSO,O0O bales, rather than 12,40O 900
which the government estimate makes
it, including linters. In making the
estimate, the government seems to
have lost sight of three very impor
tant matters which forced the gin
niDg of cotton much more rapidly
than usual. The crop WAS fully three
weeks earlier than usual; in many
sections, on account of the dry wealth.
or, four weeks earlier Not single
day were the farmers prevented from
! picking their cotton from the first of
September to the l4th OF Novem Der,
and cotton was selling around ten
cents, all Of which induced early gin
ming, SO that instead of so per cent
being giDned, SIS the government es
innate would indicate, there wos
probably 81 to SO per cent. actually
ginned on the 14th of November.
| This conclusion is corroborated bv
the snallamonnt Cf baggng and ties
sold since the 18th of November and
by the short time that the gins have
been running.
He said that he advised his friends
to sell their cotton freely as long as
they could get above 8 cents for 1t,
but it would be suicidal on the part
{ of the farmers and the South gener
ally to sell their cotton at z IL cents

"This is the best opportunity Il
have ever seeu," he said, "to test the
courage and good sense of the farm
ers of the Sooth. My advice IS to
hold their cotton through December
and January.

ST. LOUIS, July II. - The County
State Commissioners, who have not
been on the best of terms. with each
other almost since the opening of the
exhibition, had it out this afternoon
and, after a sensational scrimmage, a
better understanding than has hereto
fore existed was reached. 1t is be-
lieved that harmony. or at least a state
Of peace. has been firmly established
for the rest Of the fair.
To-day's battle came up on an Incl
dent that il had been supposed was
closed. The County Commissioners.
before the opening of the fair, re-
quested the State commission TO apply
for permission for them to ride in the
opening day parade, as a matter of
courtesy California being the only
State represented by counties. Com
missioners Virgins and Filcher agreed
to make the application and later in
formed the County Commissioners
that their request had been turned
down.
It was learned later that the turning
down had been done at the request of
the State commission. Charles NJ.
Reeves. director of State and Terri
torial exploration. signed a statement
to this effect, which was kept on file by
the county organization. Various small
matters caused friction, and when Sec
retary Willis resigned the stories of his
alleged i'll treatment created a senti-
ment of sympathy for him among the
County Commissioners.
To-day IL was stated to some of the
county men that Commissioner Wig
gins had deliberately telephoned to
Reeves, telling him to ignore the re-
quest that the county men be allowed
TO enter the parade. One of the Coun-
~ Commissioners demanded a final ex-
planation Of Virgins. He admitted
having told Reeves to ignore the re-
quest and said he would explain the
matter before a meeting of the county
representatives The latter met and
Commissioner Virgins told them he
had asked Reeves to turn down the
request on the ground that it would
be irregular for county representatives
to enter the parade. He admitted that
he should have consulted with the
County Commissioners as a matter of
SDu4 NVSs DSAOlS uoiHS ~. ne Sdlu IuI-
ther that he wanted to take all the
blame on himself. as he had acted
independent of Filcher and the latter
knew nothing Of the affair.
There was considerable heated talk
and Webb n. Pearce Of Alameda in
troduced a resolution that the meeting
thank Commissioner Virgins for his
explanation. Frank Kimban of San
Diego moved, as an amendment, that
the county organization accept Wig
gins statement in good faith The
amendment was adopted.

final clash, but failed.

Actors snnerstitinns-

The theatrical profession as a whole
is probably not more supeTstitious than
other classes of men, but there are GER
tain credul0us notions which actors
and managers collectively share or
confess to as individuals.
For example, Nat Goodwin considers
it a bad sign to lose more than SIS, 900
at faro, especially if he has to sign
l. O. us.
Certain parts of the stage are held to
be unlucky by all actors. The center
is not one of these. An actors idea of
hades is a revolving stage on which
there is no center.
Oscar Hammerstein is hard-headed
man of dramatic affairs, yet he always
has a sense of impending disaster
when there are thirteen people in the
audience.
Although joseph Murphy doesn't
care any more for nickel than a far
mer does for a yoke of steers, he con-
siders it unlucky to fall asleep in cab
and lose his valuables.
Friday is regarded universally - an
unlucky day for business ventures.
William H. Crane will not even buy a
drink on Friday.
Not to be mentioned in the newspa-
pers is an evil omen any day of the
week; and the hotel man who assigns
to an actor a room with a broken mir
ror loses a customer.-Puck-
