Looks For Big Yield.
Some Facts About Cotton and
Condition of the Mills.

Va Ho" cuSiauu, auu 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 industry9" 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 h ave checked buying
When cotton went beyond 13
cents there was a 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 building"
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
5000, 600 spindles and today g.
00O,0O0-a marvellous and very
rapid growth.

done much curtallingi'
eyes, large number of spin
dies have been stopped during the
last four months.''

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. D"
"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-and
we expect Il good demand for
goods and yarns to last for several
months, to start in about Septem-
ber lst. and we are also expecting
to see cotton selling at 81 cents. :"
"What did you learn about the
crop in yeur travels9"

opinion to be towards large
yield-some putting it as high as
IL, 100000 bales.'

Southern development in cotton

saying that wonderful progress
has been made during the last ten
years and find many mills pro-

JOSEPH W. FOLK.

It is seldom that Republicans
in any State of the Union are ad-
monished, in spite of a strong
and reasonable inclination to par
ty loyalty, to support the Demo-
cratic candidate for so important
an office as Governor. And yet
that is what Republicans in Mis-
souri, are under exhortation to do
from staunch Republican organs
in all parts of the country.
William Allen White, the dis
tinguished Kansas editor, has
put the situation about as con-
cisely as it can be put. mo
matter" says Mr.. White, chow
honest the Republican nominee
for Governor of Missouri may be,
if he wins Folk will be defeated
because he attacked Doodle"
There it is, in nutshell. Folk
happened to be the man to whose
lot it fell to challenge the powers
of political evil and to engage
them in combat. He now stands
before the people for judgment
upon his work. And if they elect
any other than Folk-although
this other be the most just and
perfect man who ever lived
Folk is thereby tactily rebuked.
To be defeated after doing for the
people what he did would dis
courage uprightness and devotion
and courage in public office ev-
erywhere in the United States for
generation to come.
We like to think that the hon
est Republicans will permit this
honest Missouri Democrat to be
chosen Governor of his State, and
we like to think that had Folk
CHANGED to be a Republican in
stead of a Democrat the honest
Democrats of Missouri would
have rallied about him just the
same.

morrow the Democratic
Senatorial convention for this
district will be held at Mounds
vile. George B. Stathers, who
has been a lifelong Democrat, a
party worker for many years,
who has been nominated by the
Prohibitionists for this office, is
probably the most available can
didate. The district is normally
about 1900 Republican, and that
being true there is not very much
chance of electing Democrat or
any other candidate except the
Republican nominee. Tyler coun'
ty is entitled to the nomination
this year, and Stathers will make
the race. He is a competent man

We have a letter from G. E

we had every reason to believe
the report was false, as Mr.. Pyle

and as soon as circumstances per-

corner of Diamond and Wells
streets last night to quite a large
audience. He was troubled very
much with hoarseness, but has a
pleasing countenance, and is
quite a good speaker. The nomi-
nees for President and Vice Pres
ident on his party ticket is Eu-
gene V. Debs and Ben Hanford.
According to Wilkins about all
we will have to do in the future
if Debs and Hartford are elected,
will be to build larger barns to
store our wealth in. Debs will
not be elected this year.
