------------' is remarkable that in
both new demands and distribution
there is no evidence of diminution, not
withstanding the expected shutdown of
coal mines. Available supplies here
have been augmented and, the heavy
consumers of fuel being provided for,
the operation of plants will suffer no
immediate hindrance.
Weather conditions do not impede
construction, but lack the seasonable
quality necessary to advance activity
in the leading retail lines. Wholesale
dealings, however, remain of large ag-
gregate and heavy shipments continue
to the interior of the principal staples,
while there is Il good demand for farm
implements, vehicles, hardware and
sporting goods Reports show a re-
sumption of spring work on the farms,
growing grains well protected by late
snowfall and the outlook encouraging
in the dispersion of country store mer-
chandiSe.
Visiting buyers here are placing lib
eral orders. prompt shipment being re-
quired and some recorders have appear
eel in dry goods. Mercantile collections
throughout the tributary regions make
n good showing and the commercial
mortality is at the lowest point of any
week this year.
Production of the principal industries
is Sustained ut the greatest aggregate
known and the work ahead in some de.
pGrtments runs into next year. The
raw material markets indicate no de-
line in the absorption, prices being I'M
Usually strong in the metals, lumber
and leather. Pig iron is seen to be in
steady request and additional inquiries
suggest an extending need for rails,
cars and motive power.

The Southern Power Company,
which is developing the great water
power on the Catawba and Wateree
rivers in North Carolina and this
State, advertises that it desires to
supply electric power to Sumter as
soon as the development six miles
above Camden has been completed.
This company will have more than
10000 horse power for sale when
all the power stations are completed
and the manufacturing towns that
secure this power will be Independent
Of the coal trust. It will be wise for
the Sumter factories to get IN touch
with the Southern Power Company
before all their power has been con-
tracted for. 81

profit to the planter. Whether the in
crease in American production will
keep pace with the worlds demand is
another question.
Captain Hobson who lectured IN
Wilmington about two years ago az
irmed that the Southern cotton
States could and would easily COM
nand Is cents a pound for cotton and
that the cotton sonsumers could and
would become accustomed to such an
adjustment of value as surely as the
world increased in population. He
saw in the prospective demand from
China alone the assurance Of this
price and Of even higher value.
Whatever therefore may be the
outcome ct the efforts Of the Fedora
ton Of Master Cotton Spinners Of
Manchester, and Of the internation-
al Cotton Congress, and Of the British
Cotton Growers association, the fact
remains that the southern cotton
States hold the key to the situation
and that the world must look to US
for its yearly supply of raw cotton for
years to come.
The increasing independence of our
cotton planters will insure them
against the assaults of the New York
and Liverpool cotton gamblers who
VII not be able III the future, as in
the past, to dictate the terms upon
which the crop is to be sold, and our
planters may extend their acreage
annually with the assurance that
the increasing trade of the world will
take their product at renlunerative
prices.-Wilmingt Messenger.

KING CoTToS.
Its Rule of the Universe-The Cotton
Planter of the South Whether He
BE American or Briusner Has the
Situation in His Own Hands.

A question OF paramount import
ance to the South is enaging the at
tention Of the economists Of all the
great countries of the civilized world.
1t is the question Of future supplies
of cotton to meet the rapidly increas-
ing demand Of the growing population
Of the globe.
Every civilized, or semi-civilHed, d,
child born in Europe, Asia, Africa
and America must be wrapped in a
cotton cloth, and every dead body Of
poor mortality, for decent burial,
must be covered with a cerement of
the same fabric. 1t is the universal
dress OF the living in the breech clout
of the semi barbarian to the perfect
ed fruit Of the loom Of a fashionable
garment, in which Isl exquisitely
blended the warmth Of wool with the
finish Of silk.
The area Of cotton product :eness
upon the earth is very wide, but the
successful regions upon which the
world depends are the southern
States, the East Indies and Egypt.
The East India cotton is short of
staple and the Egyptian product is
extra long staple. American cotton
is universally recognized as best
adapted to the worlds needs.
For many years the cotton planter
of the south was subjected to the op-
pressive measures of the cotton gam
blers in futures who sold his crop be-
fore he made it, thereby denying him
the legitimate value Of his patient un-
renting toll. His, creditors, the
middle men, forced the sale of his
product on a declining market load
ed with paper contracts which were
to his prejudice. Now
the scene is changed: organization,
and systematic control of the farm
er's output has placed him in the
saddle and he drives the spectators
to cover instead of meekly submitting
to their dictum.
The world needs all the cotton that
The whole cotton area Of the south
can produce and it is now not
question Of price but supply which
agitates the spinners of the old
world. Their chronic cry Of hard
times has been smothered by the
,easeless hum of mills taxed to their
almost capacity, working day and
aight, in the vain effort to overtake
orders which will drive them until
May, 1908. Throughout the whole
manufacturing districts Of Europe
Ind Great Britain the utmost activity
wages have been increased,
profits are enormous, and general
abides. Sometimes a
cry Of over-production and
coming disaster is heard, but it goes
lnheeded as mills and spindles are
multiplied to join in the ever increas-
ng consumption Of the great Ameri-
an staple.

d
short supply OF American cotton en-
abled SPECTATORS to manipulate the
market into panic of high prices
and which threatened to deprive hun
oreds Of thousands Of operatives in
European mills Of their livelihood,
the Federation of Master Cotton Spin
ners was formed with their head
quarters at Manchester. The first
move was to organize a system OF
short time, and for year they work
ed two-thirds the usual number OF
hours. paying their work people. two
thirds the usual amount Of wages,
and in this way the scant supply OF
r.w cotton suficed to keep the mills
going for year,
The mill operatives recognizing the
crisis supported their employers 10y
ally and this cooperation averted
calamity. Out Of this arrangement
was evolved later the greater move
ment which included the continental
spinners resulting in the organization
of the International Cotton Fedora
ton which held its first meeting in
Zurich, Switzerland, in 1904. The
reaching system is unity Of action by
all the cotton using countries Of, Eu-
rope and Great Britain, the checking
Of manipulation by cotton market
gamblers Of the price Of raw material,
planting and the cooperation Of gov
ernments for the encouragement Of
cotton cultivation in all colonies in
which climatic and labor conditions
are favorable.
An important co1nmitte of nine
members representing England, Ger
many, France, Austria, Belgium, Por
tugal, Spain, Switzerland and Italy
was recently received at Windsor by
King Edward, who cordially shook
hands and addressed to each one
warm welcome in his own language.
At Paris they were received an en-
couraged by the president of the re-
public; at Kiel the emperor Of Ger
many extended welcome and mani
tested keen interest in their enter
prise, and in Washington the COM
had the honor Of President
advice and assistance.
Last spring, it will be remembered,
a committee representing this organ
iZation was sent to the southern states
to ascertain if suitable lands for the
extensive planting Of cotton for Eng
lish investors could be procured. The
report of this committee was favor
able, and second commission COM
posed mostly Of the first committee is
now in the south for the purpose Of
buying large tracts of cottonsland to
be developed for foreign account.
The Messenger questions the wis,
dom of this policy. The amount Of
cotton produced by newcomers will be
small and the cost
doubtless greater than to others long
established and familiar with the eco
nomic methods Of cultivation. The
area Of cotton cultivation is extending
yearly and will extend so long as
market prices continue to pay !

inches in length cut from a peach tree
in his peach orchard which was three

six very fine peaches, highly colored,
smooth and free from imperfections of
any kind. The fruit was exhibited at
the drug store Of Mr.. Joseph E. Harmed
where it was examined by a large num-
Der Of people who evinced great sur
prise that such perfect peaches could be
grown so high up in the mountains.

Business in Bog bays.

That the customary midsummer duh
season can be turned into time Of
considerable business activity by iu-
dicious arrangement Of special sales and
liberal advertising is the experience Of
many up-to-date merchants. The ac-
cumulated ODDS and ends and left-overs
Of a season Of lively trade can better be
worked off at a real sacrifice than car
ried over into the midst of the fall bust
ness, People will buy your goods if
you make them a sufficiently attractive
proposition and tell them about it in an
attractive way,
Even hot and humid weather will not
keep the crowds of bargain hunters
from a sale where staple goods are be-
ing sold at a substantial reduction in
prices. The experiment has been tried
so often that it is no longer an expert
ment. Results can be counted on with
quite absolute certainty if rational
methods of advertising are resorted to.
OF course store may go sound asleep
and take hot summer afternoon nap
in dog-days if it chooses and then wake
up and do good business later. But
the way of the modern merchant is to
keep things hustling even in hot
weather. August sales may make a
good showing if the August advertising
campaign is skillfully planned and wise
ly carried out
