Don't Believe Price.

Nh. Theodore Price, who has his
own system for trying to force down
the price Of cotton, is still hammering
the market and he is urging the
farmers to sell before they are COM
PEELED to sell for less than seven
cents. That, however, is not the ad-
vice Of the men who have the inter
est of the South at heart. At one
time Mr.. Price was, right, but he has
been jumping so rapidly from one
side of the market to the other that
the farmers were afraid to gamble on
his predictions. They should not put
any faith in what he says today.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Price has made a
great deal of money and his followers
throughout the South have likewise
added to their profits by taking the
bear side. It is well known that the
speculator has been aided in his ef-
forts by his clique in the South. In
almost every town he has one man at
least, who becomes his spokesman.
This individual makes it his business
to skip from town to town and he pro-
fesses to know so much about the
situation that he can easily persuade
the farmers to unload. It is readily
seen, therefore, that Mr.. Price can
accomplish wonders If he is we'll or
ganized, yet it is outrageous to think
that these followers will put money
in their pocketssat thet expense Of the
farming classes. What We would like
to know is if there are any of these
people preaching the doctrine Of Price
in the Piedmont country. Before
they put too much faith in these in
dividuals who are begging them to dis
pose Of their crop the planters should
ascertain if they are helping Mr..
Price.
On the other hand every Sou uthern
authority is hopeful of better condi-
tions slater on and this hope can be
realized only by a determination Of
the farmers not to unload. Frank
Hayne and W. P. Brown who did so
much for the bull movement last year,
believe that ten cents will be paid
before spring Organizations in al
most every State have agreed to hold.
The Greenville News has given much
study to this situation and through it's
columns it has kept the farmers fully
informed as to what is likely to hap
pen. The inerview with Col. Orr
printed yesterday, will have its effect,
as it should, aud Col. Orr is nearer
right than the others when he says
that nine cents will be a legitimate
price. We cannot look for much
more. It is better to follow these
men and the cotton organizations than
to accept the statements of Mr.. Price
and his followers who are reaping
harvest by fooling the people.-Green-

Japanese Afronted.

Numerous complaints have reached
this office regarding the discourteous
treatment accorded to japanese at the
stamp window of the Post Office. 1t
will be remembered that a short time
ago the Advertiser called attention to
this same matter, the parties to COM
plain at that time being White persons
who could not get prompt or courteous
attention from the young lady in
charge.
1t is to be assumed that the United
States postal authorities expect their
employees to give prompt and polite at
tention to all persons who have occa-
sion to make use of the departments
facilities, and the Japanese who APP
proach the window, though not Amer
lean citizens, have a right to proper
treatment. This they do not get when
they encounter rough discourtesy and
sharp orders to hurry up" The atten-
ton is called to the matter, in the hope
that they will see to it that ordinary,
proper courtesy is made the rule.-Ha-

Women on the Golf Links.

Golf is a grand old game, of course,
but it's widespread popularity in this
country, its marvellous growth here in

the interest that is taken up in It by

presence in goodly numbers on the links
no such public favor as golf has met
with would have been recorded. 1t is
a repetition of the old story of the

women in the boxes makes US all pre-

style yesterday.-New York Herald.

According to Willett & Gray's latest
circular received here, the recent drop
in sugar was not indicative OF a
change in the home situation. 1t was
caused by European influence, to which
the holders of Guam sugar refused to
submit. Although the European mar
ket itself does not appear to have re-
covered from the decline, through the
firu1ness assumed by Cuban holders
the New York market has been braced
up again. 1t would be interesting 10
