The Spirit That Builds.

Several cities in the state made ef-
forts to secure the Presbyterian COL
lege of South Carolina now located
at Clinton when it was. understood
that the college would likely be
moved. Chester and Bennettsville and
Sumter and Yorkville were among
those bidding for the institution. 1t
was decided, however, not to move the
college.
The spirit that moved these other
cities to bid for the location of this
institution in their midst is what we
desire to direct attention to at this
time. The Sumter Herald speaking
of the effort made by Sumter says:
"That intangible thing which we
ere pleased to call ':he Sumter spirit
was very much in evidence last night.

Prof. S. H. Edmunds writing OF the
way in which the citizens of Sumter
went about the business says:

Organize.

The indifference shown by the
farmers throughout the county TO-
wards the purposes Of the Cotton
Growers association as evidenced by
the small attendance on yesterdays
meeting and the meagre reports from
the different townships is to be deeply
regretted. President Hunter felt
keenly this apathy when he in his re-
marks said if we are going to make
the organization success so as to be
of the greatest benefit to the farmers
we must get organized and that with
out delay. We join Mr.. Hunter in
urging our farmers to organize fully
over the county-then will the cot
on producer be in a position to de-
mand a remunerative price for his
cotton. Organize.

Cotton Mills And Speculation.

This business OF cotton mills losing
money in cotton futures is serious
thing. Surely it is not a common
practice. We hear of it only when big
losses occur and mill properties are
pushed close to bankruptcy by it.
Whv should a cotton mill speculate
in cotton? The function of factory
is to manufacture, to own real estate,
build a mill, equip it with machinery
employ help, buy cotton and make
it into cloth or yarn.
If a company of people wish to
speculate there is no use building
factory. They might just put their
nonev together and speculate and do
nothing else Then everybody who
subscribed in the concern would know
the risk he was running and, if the
venture resulted in loss, nobody
would be surprised But cotton mill
has no business speculating in cot
ton futures. The directors or officials
who authorize it are taking an unWar-
;ranted and dangerous liberty with
what are virtually trust funds and are
doing something which involves a
great risk not only OF losing money
invested but of impairing confidence
in the entire cotton manufacturing in
dustry:
Of course, it is entirely legitimate
and proper for cotton mill to buy
futures to the extent Of hedging
that is, to insure themselves against
rise in the price of cotton while
they are executing an order which
yields a profit based ON the price OF
cotton at the time it is taken, but be-
yond this the realm of speculation
is entered and this ought to be for
bfdden ground to safe manufacturing
policy,
Cotton manufacturing should be,
and is, safe conservative industry
and should not be mixed with specu-
lation. Dealing in cotton futures is
hazardous game, sometimes immense
ly successful and profitable and at
other times the cause Of disaster,
bankruptcy. dishonor, insanity and
suicide. No such element should be
mixed with the chief manufacturing
industry of the south-Spartanburg
Journal
And yet we tlaveheard it said that a
mill president in this state made the
statement that he had never made any
money manufacturing, tn lat he had
made money for the mill specula-
ting, but at last he came near bank
rupting the property. The directors
and stockholders, if they knew il, said
nothing about it so long as he hit
the market on the right side, and
sahred in the profits he made in this
way. But when he lost he was kicked
out of his job and was no longer a
good financier or business man. The
trouble with this matter is public sem
timent is all out of joint on this ques-
ton. It is~i1eld by some that it is le-
gally right to speculate in futures and
very few people see any moral wrong
when the speculator wins.
The Journal IS right, however, if
the mill authorities are going to try
to make money speculating we. had
just as we'll not bu3ld mills but Or
ganize for the purpose of speculating.
But a man in such position, Or any
other where he handles trust money,
should not speculate even with his
own money for the temptation is al
ways too great. They should try to
make money manufacturing.
