A Pat Reply.

President Mckinley once had al
applicant for post Of minister to Bra
zil who brought with him petition
signed by 1000 Chicagoans. It seems
that he was a picture framer and as
he was in the habit of collecting sig
natures to his petition. President
Mckinley listened respectfully and
questioned him as to his publication
and finally explained that before he
could give the matter serious consld,
Grafton he would have to confer with
the senators and representatives from
Illinois.
"You know that we have to select
big men for these big places, said the
president kindly as he bade his caller
goodby. ..
"Won't I be just as big as any OF
'em, if get the job?' was the retort

E Now is the time for those who still
have cotton to, hold on to it. The
price has gone down. And yet a New
York syndicate has made direct and
definite proposition to the farmers OF
the south to take 100000 bales at il
cents. They have investigated the
matter and are satisfied thai: with the
present supply and demand the mills
can readily afford to pay from Ii to
Is cents for the balance Of this croR.
It is said that the balance Of the
supply for the rest Of this year will
not be more than half Of what it was
last year. ...
The farmers and others in this sec
ton who still have any cotton realize
the situation and are not offering for
sale. ...

And, contemporary, good name is
an asset in the eyes Of honest men;
the times will be poor, indeed when
that is not so. The State never covers

lished right to good repute.- e.-The

"Not Like Other Girls''

There is a mysterious murder and
the guilty one accuses the hero Of the
play as the murderer, and from cir
cumstantial evidence believes hin
guilty. His sweetheart, however, be-
lieves him innocent, and appears al
the trial, for his defense and through
her power. reads the minds Of Others
and hypnotic influence brings the real
murderer to justice, and acquits the
lover.
The highest histrionic art is dis
played by the actors Of this scene
which has been acknowledged by the
Press Of New York City.

3 The Columbia Record, all avowed
opponent Of Senator Tillman, has
even gone to the trouble of picking
out a successor to our senior Senator,
the person named being DR.. George B.
Cromer. Mr.. Tillman's term expires
next March and his successor will
have to be nominated. in the primary
this summer. Senator Tillman will
succeed himself Rock Hill Record.
We did not know that the Record
was an avowed opponent Of Senator
Tillman. It has been understood that
both were standing pat for the State
dispensary.

The state is to be congratulated on
the fact that Commissioner OF lmml-
grafton e. J. Watson has declined the
positions offered him elsewhere and
will remain in the service Of the state.
He has the work well in hand and for
a new man to take it up would be
lust like starting all over again.
Col. Watson has his heart very
much in the work Of his office and has
it we'll in hand. The Herald and
News is glad he is going to remain
with us and continue in the work for
which he is so well equipped.

Senator Tillman seems to be an1-
iious to keep up his crusade for the
aispensary. He may save it tempora-
rilv but it is doomed and if he hangs
on to the state institution it will take
Tillman down with it. The affairs OF
state can be managed without the
senator's interference and if he de-
sires to retain his seat in the senate
he can do so, but it might be the part
of wisdom on his part to let affairs
in this state be managed by those who
are here.

The Thomas Syndicate.

The Thomas Syndicate.
A distinct and definite proposition
to take 100000 bales of middling cot
ton from the planters of the south at
Is cents per pound has been submit
ted by a New York syndicate of
bankers and fnanciers. The svndi-
cate is headed by Mr.. E. R. Thomas,
the we'll known banker, Of New York,
and a many times millionaire. The
syndicate has fully investigated the
question Of supply and consumption.
They are convinced that at the pres
ent high prices of cotton goods the
mills Of the world can easily pay 13
to Is cents for the balance Of the un-
sold portion Of the present crop. They
also know that the supply Of cotton
for the balance Of the present year
will not be more than half the amount
that we had last year, while consump-
ton is enormous, and at least 5,000,-
900 more new spindles in operation
than year ago.
The syndicate fully realizes that
if it can secure possession of 100000
bales Of spinnable cotton in the face
Of the present strong statistical posi-
ton of spot cotton that they can abso-
lutely dominate the cotton market
and force prices to their proper level.
The syndicate also. wants to secure
control Of the cotton that will be gin
ned and ready for the market from
the crop of 1906 next August and
September, agreeing to pay the pre-
vailing prices at that time, not to be
less than the. minimum prices fixed
for the next crop by the Southern
Cotton association. I will be glad to
mail out the option contracts Of the
syndicate to every farmer who is still
holding cotton. Upon application I
have already sent the agreement to
10000 farmers who are holding cot
ton.
Selling Too Heavy.
The great obstacle in the way of
advancing prices during the past two
months and the reason for depression
during that time, has been the enor-
nous and persistent selling by farm
ers and merchants, especially west OF
the Mississippi river. The receipts
last week were 10000 bales heavier
than one year ago when we had prac-
tically 100000 bale crop. The
spinners and spectators have been
supplied with all the ammunition
needed to hammer prices. The farm
ers relinquish their power to control
prices when they dump their cotton
daily on the market at prices fixed by
gamblers in the cotton exchanges Of
the country. The farmers east of the
Mississippi river have held up u
goodly portion Of their cotton and
if they stand firm they will yet win
The farmers in the southwest have
seemed to be we'll satisfied at prices
between 9 and II cents. The crop in
that section has been nearly exhaust
ed and the spinning world must soon
face a great scarcity, as compared
with the present tremendous needs OF
consumption. Spinners openly ad,
/ NIT that they can pay IA cents for the
spot cotton and make good money
but they are determined to buy the
crop just as cheap as they can, at the
same time advancing every month the
price Of their goods to the consumers.
have insisted that the balance OF
/ this crop should be held for Is cents
so as to average the price Of the whole
crop as near II cents as possible.
