He was Equal to the Job.

Dean Hurlburt in his character
lstically dry fashion, told the
following story at the overflow
meeting at the Harvard Union
yesterday, says the Boston Re-
cord.
A little boy who had good
idea of his artistic ability was
found by one of his fathers
friends at work drawing picture.
"What are you drawing?" he
asked the boy.
"I am drawing a picture of
God" replied the boy, hardly
looking up from his work.
"Why, you cannot draw a
picture of God," said his friend.
"No one draws picture of God,
because they do not know what
he looks like"
81 know it, replied the youth
full artist, "but they will when l
get through"

that they don't mean it all, that
there must be some hypocrisy in
SO much suavity. Don't think
so for a minute. He means it
all. He is the best feeling man

certain that heis going to win.
He thinks he has his finger on

know nothing about. A few
friends tell him something in
confidence and he imagines that it
ls the whole county talking He
can't help feeling good natured,
and when he shakes your hand
you can rest assured he means it
all. Even though he may have
reason to think you are not 60
ing to vote for him, he will shake
and then it is in kind condes-
cending manner, for he feels cer-
tain that your eyes are blinded,
that you cannot see, that when
the election comes you will be in
the pitiful minority and he in the
glorious majority;he really feels
sorry for you, when you can't vote
for him. The anticipation of his
election makes him happier man

Some Facts About Cotton and
Condition of the Mills.


of New England, and selling
agent for some mile, was pub
lished in the Charlotte Observer
yesterday:
"What do you assign as the
cause of the general depression in
the cotton industry?' he was
asked.
"There are two main causes
which have been instrumental in
bringing this about" said Mr..
Sanford.
''First, we have been produc-
ing too many goods and yarns
during the last twelve months.
Secondly, values have been too
high for free consumption. High
prices b ave checked buying
When cotton went beyond 13
cents there was very distinct
falling off in the consumption of
cotton goods and yarns and when
it reached II cents the trade was
demoralized and business became
stagnant.
"Has there been too rapid in.
crease in mill building9"
eyes, we have arrived at one
of those periods of our industrial
progress in cotton mills when
in my opinion we are producing
moro than we can consume to
good advantage. Twelve years
ago the Southern States had about
100000 spindles and today 8,

dies have been stopped during the

eyes. Manufacturers feel that
IN order to secure trade the cost
of manufacturing must be reduc-
ed, not only in wages, but also in
cotton and supplies, so as to give
consumers goods and yarns at
figures that will be safe to do
business on. There is no denying
the fact that buyers Lave been
afraid to purchase freely on the
high costs of raw materials and
labor which have prevailed for
several months. and they are now
waiting for these factors to settle
to their proper level"
"When do you think improve
ment in the trade will start in!"
"Well, we are feeling there
will be decided change for the
better this fall. Indications show
very plainly from buyers that they
are ready to do business as soon
as the status of this crop can be
settled as to what value-apd
we expect good demand for
goods and yarns to last for several
months, to start in about Septem-
Der lst. and we are also expecting
to see cotton selling at 81 cents !"
