Farmers. Hold Cotton, Is Advice of Col.
Orr.

In an. interview with representa-
tive Of The Greenville News on Wed.
nesday, Col. James L. Orr, president
of the Piedmont Manufacturing Com.
pany, said that it would be suicidal for
the farmers Of the South to sell their
cotton att 1-2 cents when they would
as sas hshs nne PsSss sae
will be paid if the farmers will ONLY
agree to hold.
Col. Orr was asked what he thought
of the cotton and goods situation. He
replied that it was badly mixed. There

no said, but not as large as the govern
ment estimates, and he would rather
trust the ginners' report, which to his
mind, indicated a crop Of 1850, 900
bales rather than IL, 100000, which the
government climate makes it, includ.
ing linters. In. making the estimate,
the government seems to have lost
sight of three very important matters
which forced the ginning Of cotton
crop was fully three weeks earlier than
usual, In many sectiOns, on account of
the dry weather, four weeks earlier.
Not single day were the farmers pre-
vented from picking their cotton from
the first of September to the 14th of
November, and cotton was selling
around ten cents, all of which induced
early, ginning, 80 that instead of so per
cent being ginned. as the government
estimate would indicate, there was
probably 81 to, ,S8 per cent. actually
ginned On the 14th OF November. This
conclusion is .corroborated by the
small amount of bagging and ties sold
since the 10th 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 az
they could get above g. cents for it,
but it would be snicidal on the part Of
the farmers and the South generally
TO sell their cotton at Z Ia cents. In.
stead of fighting the speculatOrs, they
would simply be doinJ that which the

and a large number of clergy and lay
men in attendance. The sessions were
devoted mostly TO mission work, and
Archdeacon White took occasion to
score all for their seeming neglect along
these lines, stating that while $4,000
had been received during the past ten
years by the diocese, only a little over
$4,000 had been collected and sent
out. Rev. -Whaley of Christ Church of
Pensacola defended the Pensacola
churches from the charge, and showed
where more money had been sent out
than had been assessed against the
churches.

Episcopal Church in South Carolina,
which has been in session in Florence
for the last three days. with Bishop

The most important action of the

establishment of a diocesan school for
girls in this state and passed a reso-
luton for the appointment OF a COM

chairman, to take measures for the
location and founding of the school.
The other members of the commit
tee will be announced later.
The cities of Florence and Anderson,

obtain the school, and 1t is likely that
other cities will enter the competition.

TO PREVENT CAPTURE
RUSSIANS SINK ONE OF THEIR
TORPEDO BOATS IN CHE
FOO HARBoR.

Chefoo, Nov. 1.-THE Russians have
blown up the torpedo boat destroyer
Rastorcpny, which put into this har-
Dor with dispatches from General
Stoessel to the czar.
The Russians, except one man, left
the destroyer in the afternoon. This
last man lit fuses and blew up the
vessel. There were three dull explo-
sions, which were scarcely discernible
hundred yards away. Almost stimuli
taneously the Rastoropny sank and
settled on the bottom. A battleshlp
spar marks her grave.
1t is impossible to secure an ex-
PLANTATION of the action of the Rus
slams, but it is believed that they

ton of the Ryeshitelni incident.

Mukden. Nov. 20, via Tientstn. Nov.
22--Since the Japanese attack on
Poutiloff hill, on the night Of Nov. lS.
no activity has been apparent. The
character of the attack on Poutilon
hill is not fully understood, beyond
the the fact that three or four battalions
participated. 1t probably was made
m the initiative of the local commend
or without the consent Of headquar-
ters and as an attack it can only be
fayorably regarded in the light of a
reconnaissance in force. This Incl
dent is the most important that has
hannened since the battle of Shakhe.
Poutilofs hill, which is now the cen
tor of interest of the entire line, could
he seen flashing the signal OF attack
from her Notifications, as the Japa-
nese infantry advanced. On account
of repeated reports that the japanese
intended to attack Nov. 19 this assault
was believed to be the signal for an
ADVANCE of the entire line, and conse-
nuently the entire Russian army on
the aui vive inaugurated Its own hos.
tile movements, both east and west OF
Poutiloff hill.
The Japanese arrived within fifty
wards of the Russian trenches. The
Russian fire was too deadly for
further advance. The next morning
disclosed about eighty japanese dead,
which the Russians buried. The
Japanese succeeded in carrying off IN
haste 200 wounded. The Russians
lost half dozen men in the trenches.
Scouting operations on both sides
result in daily encounters sometimes
between battalions, but the encounters
are little more than skirmishes. The
scouting is for the evident purpose of
Identifying opponents positions and
local strength.
