THE HOLDING MOVEMENT.

Mr.. M. L. Smith, secretary and treas
urer of the Glover Cotton Manufac-
turing company, and one Of the most
successful cotton mill men In all this
locality. Is in Yorkville today with ref
erence to the proposition to bring q
line from the Catawba Power COM
pany to Yorkville and Glover.
The reporter had a conversation this
morning with Mr.. Smith that Is likely
to prove interesting to the members ol
the Southern Cotton association, ant
to the public generally. The subjec
was the effect Of the holding move
ment on the cotton market.
do you or not" asked the reportei
of Mr. Smith, Think that this holding
movement has had any effect OF
prices"
"I have no doubt on the subject,
Mr.. Smith replied. Had 1t not beer
for this movement" he continued, ="
believe prices would be from cent t.
cent and a half a pound lower thar
they are"
What is the effect on the mills?"
TT Is rather a hardship on the mills
would say. You see they don't car'
how high cotton Is. so they can get rit
Of their products at a price CORE
spondingly high. And that Is ont
trouble just now. 1t is difficult t.
ha1tnvl
there is anything substantial unde
this holding movement. They believe
the crop Is a tremendous one, and tina
1t Is only a question Of time until th'
market goes to pieces. This Is th'
difficulty In the way of getting bette
prices for our goods" IT,.
How about your stock Of cotton?"
"Oh, we have a pretty good supply
but not enough to last until the mex

do you find difficulty in buying
cotton?"
I'VE can buy some cotton all right
but we are not getting a great dea
of 1t on the regular market quotations
We are paying higher than that. How
ever, you know we don't use grea
deal Of cotton other than staple stool
from Mississippi"
How Is It out therew
"They are selling less cotton ant
standing out more stif1y than the!
are here"
The reporter took occasion to re
mind Mr.. Smith Of the fact that th'
bear spectators are trying to mak'
the people Of the southeast believe th'
people of the southwest are unloading
while they would make the people o
the southwest believe the people Of tn,

IT Is now reported from st. Peters
burg that Kuropatkin was summarily
relieved from his command. He was
not asked to resign; but was really
disgraced, so far as it lies in the pow
er of the car to disgrace him. Gen.
eral Linevitch has taken command
in his place. The impression through
out the world seems to be tina,
Kuropatkin did as much as any
man could be expected to do with
the means at his commando; and that
his treatment shows scant gratitude
on the part of the czar.

WooDMEN CONVENTION.

The York county delegates to the
biennial meeting of the head camp Of
Jurisdiction /, Woodmen Of the World,
in Savannah last week, are all back
and report a most delightful visit. The
meeting was in session from Tuesday
morning until Thursday night, and
most of the delegates got back on Fri
day morning; but Superintendent Of
Education Carroll. who had an en-
gagement to deliver a lecture In Co
lumbia on Saturday, did not reach
home until Sunday morning.
Speaking yesterday Of the meeting
Mr.. Carroll, who was delegate to the
meeting at Pensacola, Fla, two years
ago, says that 1t was a big success
from whatever standpoint, the most
successful meeting, in fact, that has
yet been held by this Jurisdiction.
The object of these head camp
meetings Is to furnish the opportuni-
ty for the development Of social rela-
tions between the delegates from
widely separated local camps, situated
in all parts Of the country, and also to
consider suggestions coming from
these local camps as to desirable
changes in the constitution and by
laws Of the order at large along with
any ideas that might seem to promise
to promote the general welfare Of the
organization. This head camp also
sends one delegate from each state In
the Jurisdiction and three at large to
the biennial meeting of the sovereign
camp to be held this year in Omaha.
There was but little business in the
way of considering proposed changes
in the constitution this year." said
Mr.. Carroll, in telling about the meet
ing yesterday, but I'll tell you there
was a lot Of interesting politics in the
convention. The distinction Of being
a delegate to the sovereign camp Is
much sought after, and as South Car
olina has about 5000 of the $4,000
Woodmen in the Jurisdiction, the
Georgia, Florida and Alabama dele
gates seemed to have fear that we
were going to cabbage everything, In
Guiding the selection of all the dele
gates at large and the election of their
own state delegates as well. They
were disposed to act upon this pre-
sumption even without taking the
trouble to ascertain our views on the
subject, and at one time 1t looked as
II they were about to precipitate quite
a squabble. Although we had no idea
CT interfering with the other states,
after we had caucussed, and selected
our own delegate, Mr.. F. c. Lotz or
Charleston, an Alabama delegate un-
dertook to nominate Mr.. Joseph L.
Stoppelbein, who though a first-class
Woodman and a very estimable gen.
tleman, did not happen to be our
choice This incident occasioned
some sharp speech making, as the re-
suit of which we got what we wanted
and had 1t just as we intended 1t to
be. We elected one delegate at large
w. S. Lea-and left the other two
places to the other states. We also
elected from our state the head advis-
er, head clerk chairman Of the board
of head managers and the state head
manager, Mr.. A. ]. Evans OF ROCK
HILL being selected for the last named
position. The entire proceedings were
pleasant and harmonious.
During the proceedings of the
meeting the Savannah people paid US

A CHICAGO professor predicts that
the human race will pass off the earth
within the next three million years
and that it will be succeeded by a
race of birds as the next highest type
Of animal life. Very likely he gets
his cue from the fact that the human
race has developed so many birds al
ready.

The condition of Mr. w. Thompson
Jackson is more hopeful than 1t has
been for some days past. 1t developed
last week that the trouble is undoubt-
edly typhoid fever. During Friday
night watchers at the bedside thought
it was impossible for him to live un-
til morning. Since then however, there
have been signs Of changes for the
better-not a great deal Of encourage
ment, but some. Heart action has
been very poor: but that seems to be
improving, and the patient Is In better
spirits. Mr.. Jackson has hundreds OF
friends in Yorkville and throughout
the entire northern part Of the county
and there Is much anxious interest In
his condition. Drs. White & McDow-
ell have charge of the case and they
are assisted by Mr.. John Mccarthy, a
most excellent nurse from the Delphos
neighborhood. The local camp OF
Woodmen Is doing everything possible
for the sick man and friends generally
are volunteering all the help that they
are able to give.
DR.. John /. Barron has been in bed
with grip since last Friday, but is able
to sit up little today.
The condition of Mr.. John A. Barron
continues critical. There seems to be
but little reason to hope for his re-
covery.

a good idea to make her declare her
self before such consent is given. AS
to just how much concern Mr.. Hull
and others really feel on this whole
subject Is a matter Of more or less
speculation. 1t is we'll known that
Mr.. Hull and the president want a
stronger army and navy, and If the
country could be made to believe that
there Is any real danger from Japan
either now or hereafter, the army
and navy appropriations would at
once begin to increase.

AND FAMILY,

The new black silk muslin is printed
in large sprays of roses and leaves in
exceptionally pretty patterns.
A beautiful mauve crepe de chene
gown is made with accordion plated
skirt and bodice, the latter finished at
throat and wrist with lingerie cuffs and
collar. The hat worn with the gown
Is large drawn mauve muslin affair
trimmed with soft tinted pink roses.
An attractive black and white

with baby ribbon and plated. They
are worn as toby frills" on the out.

and other dark shades will be fash
ionable, but browns are to be super
seded in favor by plums and purples.
There has been much talk about the
advent of crinoline, but we are in more
danger of the hustle than of crinoline
skirts. Dressmakers are putting in
the gowns of slight women pads and
silk ruffies to keep the skirt from sag
ging In at the back. 1t Is to be hoped
that this does not presage the hideous
deformities of years ago.
Silk wraps of all descriptions are
greatly in vogue at present. Even the
picturesque fiowered taffetas and bro
cades make effective coats. Colored
silks, as well as all white, are smart
and are trimmed more or less elabo-
rately with lace and ribbon. Some
are made on deep yokes of lace, while
others have only deep collar of lace
or a bertha or fichu effect, beneath
which the material is gathered. The
sleeves are full at the shoulders and
finished with deep cuff Of lace or
embroidery.
The dainty little morning coat illus
trated is attractive to slip on for break
fast. 1t may be made of wash material
or thin silk, as desired The chief
decorative feature Is the ribbon lacing
up the wide sleeves. The gathered
front Is fastened to the right side and
hooks beneath the belt. -Four and
half yards Of material twenty-seven
inches wide, six and half yards OF
insertion and five yards of ribbon win
be required.

These hats are nearer those of last

The marked difference in the makeup
of the new lingerie hats Is the smaller
size and the fact that the material Is
stretched across the frame plain In
stead OF shirred or plated.
