STAND BY AMERICAN COTTON
French Manufacturers Refuse to En-.
ter British Scheme

ter British Scheme.
Pails, May 2-Representatives of a
syndicate Of cotton manufacturers
from Roubaix and Lille held a meet
ing this week in the Paris chamber OF
commerce to vote on the question of
joining with English and Belgian
manufacturers in scheme to sup
press American speculation in cotton.
me plan advanced was to discover
somewhere ca the globe a new field
for cultivating cotton
Gaston Slnette, leading manuac-
turer OF cotton goods in France, was
the chief speaker. He violently op-
posed the plan, for several excellent
reasons. He declared that the Soudan
COTTON was unfit for manufacturing
purposes, and it could never come in
TO competition with the American
product. He said that nowhere in the
world can the equal Of the American
product be found, and that no matter
no" far American speculation might
go manufacturers on the continent
would be forced to accept the situa-
ton. -;
He said a large amount Of capitaI
would be required for the project, and
that in the matter of hard dollars they
never could hope to compete with the
Americans. He ridiculed the idea
that the association, with its puny
capital, could d., what the millionaire
(.t 1,oI
accomplish
After a stormy session the ropos-
tlcn to join with the British and Bel
glans was voted down by large ma
jority.

The proposition is to build q lne

which extends from Draughon beyond
New Edinburg in the direction OF
Warren What the Warren people
are very desirous Of securing is a
shorter and quicker route to Pine
Bluff and Little Rock, and their only
apparent hope to get that is by a line
from Warren t. Draughon Utilizing
the Saline River Lumber company's
road only few miles would have to
desired by the Warren people.
To go from Warren t. Pine Bluff or
Little Rock it is necessary to go from
Warren tcs Dermott over the Iron
Mountain branch, there intersecting
the main line. To make the round
trip by that route requires about two
days time. but in the event of the
building of the Warren line to inter
sect with the Cotton Belt at Draughon
a. schedule could be arranged that
would permit the people at Warren
and other towns in that locality to
come to Pine Bluff, remain several
hours and return home the same day
They could go to Little Rock and
transact business and return the same
day
The building of the Warren
Draughon connection with the Cotton
Belt would prove great thing fer
