HOLDING COTTON.
A Letter From Greerville Says There
Ere Plans ffoos
7, south CA-ulin. to Eaable the
Farmers to Sell Their Cot
ton at High Pr.c-s.

A letter from GreenVille to the Au-
gusta Chronicle says to- several weeks
Chairman Tlndal, OF the County Cot
ton Association, and President Smith,
OF the State Association, have been
discussing plans for protecting farm
ers in the sale OF their cotton this
autumn, and Friday the former said
that while the association was not
q1ite ready to take any definite steps,
be felt safe In saying that there would
be competition and plenty OF 1T In
tie South Carolina cotton markets
this season. The entire question is to
be brought before the conference OF
the directors Of the Southern Cotton
Association, which meets In Ashe7ille
today, and il the plans meet with
favor the7 will be carried into effect
without any loss Of time, in order to
arrive With the cotton itself.
When chairman Tildal was asked
to give some idea Of how the associa-
tion expect to accomplish it's aims In
this state, he said that he scarcely
felt at liberty to 60 into particulars,
though be did not mind giving an out
line OF how the work would be done.
''Iu the first place." said NJ. Tindal,
"the association will have a cotton
buying Office in Colunbia This will
have genersl charge Of the market In
the entire state. Complaints will be
sent to headquarters there where they
will receive attention. It certain
slarket is without competition, either
among the manufacturers themselves
CT because Of the absence OF an export
buyer, we will arrange to stir things
up bit"
Mr.. Tindal said IL must not BE- con-
strusd that the na::kst bureau, II SO
it might be called, was going into the
market as a regular cotton purchasing
concern. It was the business OF the
tsrncls < sell their prodrc5 at good
prices %. to buy it, he said. The bu-
reau, therefore, would only interfere
when conditions were working against
the interests Of the producer, and
then only.
So far as the Southern mills were
concerned, and those at home In par
sicular, Chairman Tindal said that he
wanted them to get all Of the cotton
produced in the state, especially that
10 the upland, for he knew that 1t
vas the best to be found in the land.
He felt that the farmers could not
shake away from tae mills without
hurting the interests OF the country,
and he believed it to be ca tally as
true that tae nails could ao5 hurt
the farmers without seriously injur-
Ing their own business prospects.
AsPresident S NTH na1 nphaslz ed

in pulling together. These arrange

Twenty zen, constituting all but

American steamship Peccnic, bound
from Philadelphia to New Orleans

Florida Monday. The disaster WAS
the result OF a fierce gale which ragged
along the coast during the night anc

an immense wave struck the vessel
with terrific fcrce about II. 30 O'Clock

occurred so quickly that only two OF

about noon and on landing told the
story Of the disaster.
After midnight OF Sunday, during
the heaviest part OF the storm which
