APPEAL TO THE
COTTON GROWERS
KEEP COTTON OFF MARKET
TILL PRICE GOES UP.
President E. D. Smith of the South
Carolina Division of Southern
Cotton Association, Appeals
to Farmers Not to Sell
at Present Prices.

To the Farmers, Merchants and
Bankers of South Carolina: In view
of THE present decline in the price OF
cotton I consider it my duty to make
an appeal to the farmers to hold their
cotton off the market I ask that the
merchants and bankers assist them
in doing this. The merchants, by
not pressing them, and the
bankers by lending them sufficient
money on their cotton to enable the@r
to meet the Obligations that cannot ee
deferred. "a
The price fixed by the executiy
committee at Asheville at II cents
may seem; to some rather high, but
when ths New Orleans convention
fixed cotton at ten cents the ditetr-
ence between the current price at THAI
time and ten cents was very much
greater than the current price now,
and eleven cents. You will recall that
cotton, when the New ORLEANS con-
vention assembled, was under seven,
about six and half. By standing
together, by unity of action, by a lit
tie. sacrifice and patriotism, the South
ern Cotoon association forced the con-
sumner to pay to the producer more
than ten cents. Have you thought
what that difference in price meant to
the individual and the south? The
grower has right to fix the price
of his product, and can fix it if he viii
stand by this association, which IS
making a gallant fight to keep. the
spectators getting cotton at their own
price.
Let every farmer withdraw his cot
ton from the market. This will check
the receipts, and the market Will be
Obliged to advance. If you have TO
sell try to find some man who will
buy it and retire it from the market.
There are plenty of men in each cour1-
ty of sufficient means and patriotism
to do this:
In spite of The report circulated by
the bears and their allied interests,
who are trying to depress the price
of your cotton, we are reliably in
formed that throughout the southern
states through the influence Of the
Southern Cotton association the farm
ers are holding their cotton off the
market. Let us stand by our southern
brothers in this great fight. 1t means
The financial emancipation OF our be-
loved southland. Yours truly,
E. D. Smith,
President S. c. Div, S. c. a.

A CORRECTED STATEMENT.
Mr.. E. w. Robertson Gives Figures
Concerning the Two Mills at
Union.

Union, October 6-An error made
in the press report last night gave
the total liabilities of the Union and
Buffalo cotton mills much in excess
OF what it now appears they really are.
AS soon as it was discovered that an
error had Intentionally been made
E. w. Robertson, president of both
corporations, was interviewed and
gave out the following statement:
"While I have not the auditors re-
port before me, am sure THAT after
deducting the quick assets and ad-
justing the balance between the prop
critics, r;lat the total liabilities of both
these mills will amount to approx
mately 100000. The plants are
valued by Lockwood, Green e. Co., the
famous mill architects of Boston, at
S3,7ooooo.
"The executive committee will pro-
ceed forthwith witEt the plans of re-
organization, which will be submitted
to the creditors at the earliest practi-
cable moment. Practically all of
the creditors are cooperating in ev-
cry way with the executive commit
tee in the plan to bring the mills out
of their financial troubles.'
E. w. Robertson, the president and
treasurer, is an entirely disinterested
party. as hte is not creditor, neither
is the bank of which he is president.
The executive committee is COM
posed of VIM. Winchester, president
of the National Union bank, one of
the oldest and strongest banking in
stitution in Baltimore: H. c. Fleir-
mann of Fleitmann & Co., large COM
mission merchants of New York;
John A. Law, president Central Ma
tional bank and Saxon mills OF Spar
tanburg. and President E. W. Rob-
ertson, National Loan and Exchange
bank of Columbia, which shows that
the affairs Of the mills are in the
hands of some OF the ablest and
strongest financiers in the country
and is good assurance of the over
coming of the present situation.
At yesterdays directors meeting
Emslie Nicholson, president OF
Nicholson Bank of Union, was elect
ed vice president Union cotton mills
and A. S. Wattles of Canton Junction,
Mass, vice president of Buffalo mills.

A Day Dream.
I sit on the step of my cottage door
And dream of the l1iorne, that I loved
of yore,
And the waving boughs of the willow
In the garden at home, seem beckon-
ing to me.
THE old house stands by the river side
That / left long ago a happy bride;
The woodbine twines over the quaint
little door;
In fancy cross its threshold once
more.
My mother sits in her accustomed
place,
A smile illumes her sweet old face.
My fathers voice grows soft and
mild
AS he prays for me, his wandering
child.
A sweet young sister, so frail and fair,
With eyes of blue and auburn hair;
A patter of footsteps is heard in the
hall
And the baby one enters, uhe best
loved of ALL
But the vision has faded, I see them
no more,
And I slowly arise from cottage door
And whisper and sigh, "Oh, why did
roam
Away among stranger, so far from
home"

Russian Ministers, Salaries.

The salary attached to the post OF
minister of the interior in Russia Is
the same as that received by all the
other Russian ministers-namely 49,
600 roubles a year-a rouble being "a
cents-but further sum CT 2OO,0O0
roubles is annually put at the disposal
of the minister of the interior, OF
which hetis not called on to render
any account. This is in addition to
the ordinary secret service money, the
amount of which is practically unlim-
tied. Another minister who receives
an addition to his salary is the min
lister of finance, who is paid percent
age, sometimes amounting to $4,000
roubles a year, on all unpaid taxes
and debts to the Crown which he may
succeed in recovering during his term
of office. 1t is noteworthy that even
II a minister should hold his portfolio
only for a few months his salary is
paid to him for life. .-Waverley Mage
