BOLD BEER DISPENSERS.
They Ignore Orders Of State Board
and Continue Serving Drink on
Premises.

Columbia, Aug. 11.-Beer dispensers
in practically every county N tae
state are still stubbornly ignoring the
circular now issued to them from the
state board of dispensar7 control con-
cernirg the selling of beer on tie
premises, and the board this week
adopted the heroic measure Of pass
ing resolution giving them one week
in which to comply with the law
along this line or have the supply OF
beer cut off.
.The county boards are response
ble,'' said Director Boykin to me to-
day, s'tor the fact that the dispensers
have not complied with the law with
regard to requiring requests blanks to
be signed as well for the continued
disregard of the law by the beer dis
pensers as to drinking on the premls-
es. These county boards have the re-
gulation of these matters, and 1t is
their fault that the Law has not been
obeyed.
eff this thing is kept up, if these
county boards continue to let matters
run as they have been doing, tor one
propose to send in my resignation to
Governor Heyard as member OF the
state board. It is not right to hello rs
accountable for the misdeeds of the
county boards appointed by the county
delegations
Mr.. Boykin added that according to
his interpretatio of the law the beer
dispensers should also require request
blac ks to be signed, and said he wo1ld
introduce resolution to this effect
at the next meeting of the state board.
If the request blank requirement is
extended to- the beer dipensarles these
will be radically affected, as their
sales are so rapid at such places as the
Isle of Palms that the business would
be materially reduced in the rush
times
Mr.. Boykin is looking particularly
after the Columbia beer dispep sarles,
which he admits are still violating
the law. He says Chairman JeG May
of the Richland county board has
promised MIN that the Columbia beer
places will cease allowing drinking on
the premises within week. MI.
Boykin says that if this is not done
net only will the supply of beer be cut
of but the county delegation will be
requested by the state board to name
a new county board. New county
boards will be asked for throughout
the state where the old boards con-
tinue to ignore the resolutions of the
state board, says Mr.. Boykin.
The activity Of the state board is
likely not uninHuenced by the interest
ing proceedings of the legislative IT,
vestigatipg commission at work in
Spartanburg, and which is to sit next
in Columbia, and by the further fact
that elections are pending il eighteen
counties on the dispensary question.

BRITISH spINNERs WILL FIGHT.
President of Southern Cotton Asso-
citation Says They Hope 10 Crush
That Organization.
r. Haryie

Atlanta, August 11.-Mr. Harvie
Jordan today gave out the following:
"a recent meeting Of the Interna-
tional Cotton Spinners held at Lon
don. England, on August first, indi-
Gates very clearly that the producers
are to be bitterly fought by the spin
ners during the next three months. At
the meeting above referred to for
eign spinners We're advised to buy
no more cotton fer 90 days except
in such cases where the raw material
was absolutely needed. The effort
will be made to depress the cotton
market here by reducing the de-
nand for the raw material as far as
possible in order to break down the
present movement of the farmers to
demand fair prices for their staple.
The present plan Of the foreign spin
ners, it now appears, is to crush the
Southern Cotton association and its
efforts at the opening Of the fall sea-
son and force the farmers to sacri-
fee their cotton on a depressed mar
ket brought about by combination and
concert of action among the spinners
and "bea1" spectators. Every mag
Unable device known to human in
genuity Will be brought to hear to
depress prices during the next four
months

Association to Fix Price.

s'The Southern Cotton association
will meet at Asheville, \. c., Septem-
Der 9Th, and at that time Will fix a
minimum price on the present crop
which will be fair and just to both the
producers and spinners, based upon
carefully prepared report on the con-
dition of the crop up to August 25th
and the estimated percentage of yield,
as compared With 1904. When this
minimum price for spot cotton is fix
ed by the representatives of the differ
ent States on September 9Th at Ashe
Will, every producer of cotton in the
the action Of the association and
force the consuming world to pay
fair price for the staple. There Will
be no surplus of raw cotton from the
crop Of 1904. What is left over un-
consumed on September 1st will be
only a small reserve stock. Tie mills
are now consuming 100000 bales per
week and the demand for cotton
goods is enormous at high prices.
The farmers are in good financial
share to protect their staple and
are amply able and quite willing to
finance the situation.
Must Stand Firm.
"The producers have just won a
notable victory in the face Of the
largest crop ever produced in this
country and by concert OF action
forced prices up from cents in
January to 10 cents on July Sd. en-
countering each day the most intense
opposition.
The present crop indicates a short
yield compared With 1904. while the
consumption of cotton will go for
ward una bated for the next IS
months. Present prices for spot cot
ton are not high. They represent
only a small profit to the producers.
eff the fight must come it Will be
forced by the spinners and will be
met by determined and effective op-
position on the part Of the produc-
ers. The crop of 1905 must not be
sacrificed Let every man measure
up to the highest standard Of south
ern manhood and do his full duty.
The mills have got to have our cotton,
and if they want to stop buying at
present prices we can stop selling
and see whose corn crib aad smoke
house will last the longest. On the
eve of the crisis which threatens the
south the southern press is earnestly
called upon to publish this article
and comment upon the same edito-
rally. The farmers all over the
south are rapidly organizing and the
association has no fear of the final
outcome in the struggle which lies
just ahead. Very respectfully,
