Since we made the complete
showing that we did not do
':palpable injustice to Senator
Richard I. Manning" in claiming
that his public letter ':tracks in
the ruts of Tillman's band wag-
on" the News and Courier has
converted itself into a clam, but
the Sumter papers and the Or
angeburg Zines and Democrat
have evidently been in connec-
ton with the wire from the
Clemson College meeting, and
they are carrying out the tip"
sent down the lines that Senator
Manning has obtained the smile
of Tillman's approval. Those
who are familiar with the poll
tical clouds in this State, if they
will make a little study of them,
will discover indications which
point to a deal made at the
farmers institute at Clemson Col.
lege, and that Hon. R. I. Man
ming, of Sumter, is to be the
beneficiary, and be will make a
strong candidate if Mr.. Tillman
can deliver the goods to him.
Having the backing Of Senator
Tillman, and also being identi-
fed with numerous corporate
interests Senator Manning Will
be able to poll a tremendous
vote.
The News and Courier does
not agree with the. views ex-
pressed in Senator Manning's
letter, at the sametime it under
took to credit the Sumter Sena-
tor with leading the idea that
the dispensary must be so amen
ded as to put the law back to its
original enactment, but when
we showed by the record that
this idea came to him after Sen
ator Tillman proposed it at
Gafney, the News and Courier
sneaks into silence, instead of
acknowledging it's error.

with long contracts ahead to nl'
and in our opinion, when tne
manufacturers at the AsheVllle
meeting agreed to a eleven cent It
minimum, they did so with a tull
knowledge of the stock on hand
in the mills and, what would be
required for the output already
contracted for, and yet to be
manufactured. Therefore, we
do not agree with those who
seem to think the association
was too exacting, and it is now
up to the farmer with the aid OF
the merchant and banker to pre-
vent heavy receipts at the ports.
When the association started,
there we're many who scoifed at
the idea of its success, ana actu
ally endeavored to throw obsta-
cles in its way, but the assocla-
ton in spite of hinderances, lach
offunds, and poor discipline, Went

demanded recognition from the
commercial world. Never IN the
history of the South, with Its
many attempts at organization,
has such a recognition been CIV,
en- as has come from the world
over, to the Southern Cotton
Growers Association. and now
to make it's success complete and
lasting, the people who are to
be benefited should redouble
their determination to stand by
it with a tenacity thati is unshak-
able.
The order is, hold your cotton
for eleven cents, until further
instructions, and we sincerely
believe before November lst the
price will be above eleven cents.
This opinion is based upon sew
eral facts. First. The crop is
short. Second. The demand has
increased. Third. The brain Of
the South, and the financial in
terests Of the South, together
with the representatives of the
manufacturing interests of the
world, investigated and discus
sed the conditions, and after a
thorough canvass decided that
conditions warranted a minimum
price of eleven cents.

ELEVEN CENTS COTTON SURE.

The action OF the executive
committee Of the Cotton Grow
ers' Association in fixing a mini
mum price for this years crop is
being criticized by some croak-
ecs, but we have confidence in
the judgment of the men who
canvassed the situation and con-
ditions. and we are thoroughly
convinced that they have made
no mistake in fixing eleven cents
as a minimum. The crop condi-
tons are even worse than many
suspect. The cotton weed is
good, but the fruit is, not only
scarce, but the actual cotton is
light, and dwarfed. If the cotton
crop conditions in the other
States are as represented. South
Carolina and Georgia have bet
ter prospects than the rest, and
with the prospect in this State
We are satisfied the yield will
not exceed IS per cent. Then. if
there is any argument in favor
Of supply and demand, the price
fixed at a eleven cents basis, is
cautiously conservative, and our
farmers should not rush their cot
ton upon the market at present
prices. If a 1850, ,000bale crop
could bring ten cents, with a
war going on IN the East, strife
and turmoil going on in Russia,
and strikes in the cotton manu-
featuring districts of England.
then there is no reason why a
10000, bale crop with peace
in the East, pacihcation in Rus
sia, and the spindles again hum
ming in England, should bring
less than to twelve to fifteen
cents. The manufacturers Of the
United States are shorten stock,

THE COTTON OUTLOOK.

The effect OF the SettlemenG OF
the Russo-Japanese war on the
cotton market so far, has been a
disappointment. Itwas generally
thought that as soon as the news
of the adjustment flashed across
the country, the worlds markets
would become active, and such a
demand would instantaneously
be created that the price Of cot
ton would go bounding upwards,
but instead of this, just as soon
as Mr.. Witte and Mr.. Komura
emerged from the arbitration
room and made known their
agreement, cotton took a down
ward tendency and has been
huctuating ever since. We ex-
pect, however, this condition to
change soon, the crop of the
South is not only short, but the
indications are that the yield is
also short, and when the manu-
facturers realize the true condi
tions, the demand::will stifen and
the price stifen with it. In our
opinion, the cotton growers
themselves are masters Of the
situation if they will stand 10y
ally by the Cotton Growers AS.
sociation which will mean sew
eral dollars per bale to them,
and at the same convince the
spectators that the South can
protect itself against unjust
manipulation.
We would advise the farmer
to only market enough cotton to
get relieved from the demands
against him, and take the rest of
his crop and lock it up to hold
subject to the orders Of the asso-
citation. There are some who
are advising the farmers to hold
their entire crop, but we cannot
give such advice, because those
farmers who are in debt have
no right to withhold from their
creditors what is justly due
them, and which they must col
lect to continue business. The
farmer who owes debt, and that
debt contracted upon a cotton
crop basis, is acting dishonesty
with his creditors if he holds his
cotton without the consent of
the creditor. Therefore, we urge
the payment of debts first, the
present prices are profitable, and
there is no excuse to hold back
for speculation, but as soon as
the debts are paid then turn the
kew upon the rest Of the crop,
and hold until the market
reaches twelve cents, which we
think it will reach before next
March.
Everything points to twelve
to fifteen cents cotton. The
Chinese boycott is disappearing,
the conflict in the East is about
over, the crop yield will not
reach 100000 bales, and it
takes at least -, 100000 bales to
supply the consumption, the
manufactured cotton goods have
and are still advancing, the cot
ton growers will be organized
more solidly than ever before,
and the Southern Cotton Grow
ers Association is backed up
with brain and money. These
elements combined make, in our
opinion, a very encouraging out
look for high prices.
