WITH the crop condition report of the
agricultural department This was
finally laid on the table.
The growers wanted permanent
organization between themselves and
the spinners that their scheme for
ceiling direct to the manufacturers
might be advanced. but this was op-
posed by the manufacturers. A diplo-
matte committee brought in a report
which was adopted, that declared
l:at the delegates from the various
associations represented had not been
empowered to enter into perpetua!
n.ga aiZGtion.
The manufacturers were not enthu-
siastic about the plan of the growers
to build warehouses to store and grade
cotton and sell direct to manufacture
ers thus avoiding speculation and mid
dlemen. The spinners. particularly the
English. thought il was good scheme
but ;Atimated to the Southerners that
their plan to store cotton here and
control prices would require a large
amount OF capital than they could at
present command. But according to

STOP GAMBLING.
The Net Results Of Conference in
Washington Appear to Be a Better
Understanding and the Opening OF
Way to Eliminate the Cotton Fu-
ture Gamblers-Farmrs Must, How
ever. Have Warehouses.
Washington, May 1.-Cotton grow
ers of the South met with cotton spin
ners of he North, in Washington to-
day, and the Soutnerners INDUCED in
some plain talk directed especially to-
ward the mill men Of New England,
with .scathing denunciation of New
York cotton gamblers" thrown in.
It was the first occasion upon which
spinners and growers have met in
joint convention. All the great grow
ers and spinners' association of the
United States were represented at thu
meeting, and there was a fair sprink-
lig of English and European manu-
facturers among the delegates.
The planters threw down the
gauntlet to the manufacturers. They
declared that they would lock up the
crop in Southern warehouses with
Southern keys, financed by Southern
money, and hold the crop until the
manufacturers came ( them, rather
than put up any longer with the de-
mands OF spinners as dictated by half
a dozen gamblers and spectators N
New York.
The meeting was held at the New
Willard Hotel, ostensibiy with the
friendly object of effecting a joint or
ganization of growers and spinners, to
the end that mutual needs may be dis
cussed from time to time as occasion
may arise. The growers promptly
took the floor and kept it during the
greater part Of the day. 1t proved to
be the liveliest convention that has
been held in Washington for long
time.
J. C. McColl, Of the New England
Spinners' Association, was elected
president of the new association, and
Harvey Jordan president of the South
ern Cotton Association, was elected
first vice president.
Congressman Ellerbe, Of South
Carolina, spoke first for the growers.
He said that from the nature of the
Industry, it was not easy to improve
the methods of culture. This was due
largely to the fact that it is hard
crop to handle with machinery.
Congressman Livingston said: IF
the planters live few years and God
gives them little sense, they will hold
up the crop and make the spinners
come to them instead Of having few
Northern spectators come into South
ern fields, and buy few hunoreo
thousand bales Of dogtail cotton,
which spinners will not want, and hold
it as threat over the spot market to
break the price whenever they chose
for speculative purposes. Treat US
fairly, and we Will treat you fairly, but
we want the fair profit that is coming
to the grower Of one Of the worlds
most important crops
Nearly one hundred cotton men,
representative of spinners and grow
ers, were present, and the conference
will be continued tomorrow, when
manufacturers will probably have
more to say.-News and Courier.

Washington, May 2.-After de-
nouncing the government crop reports
and more particularly the reports OF
the department Of agriculture, and
passing resolution advocating that
the statistical cotton year should run
from August l to August 1, instead OF
from September to September 1, the
international Cotton conference ad-
journed today to reassemble next year
should il be deemed advisable by the
various organizations to do so. It was
found that the delegates were not
clothed with sufficient authority TO ef-
feet a permanent organization.
When the subject Of governmental
crop reports came up, President Mac
Coll spoke in commentator of the
census bureau work. but felt that some
radical changes in the methods Of the
agricultural department should be
made President Harvie Jordan Of
the Southern Cotton association also
ernment reports, but numerous other
delegates strongly condemned them.
D. A. Tompkins of North Carolina
characterized them as "a complicated
system Of guessing" While another
Southern grower denounced them as
''a speculative football
Various remedies were suggested.
but as no delegates seemed able TO
agree on satisfactory plan the whole
subject was laid on the table.
President MacCol expressed the
hope that hencefo-th there Will clos
e. bond of union between the North
md The South and between America
and Europe in all that pertains to cot
ton growing and manufacturing.
Another topic of discussion was the
marketing Of the produce Which en-
braced the questions Of warAAous-
ing. stability of price and relations be-
tween growers ana manufacturers.
a. e. Calvin. president Of the Farm
ers' Educational ana Cooperative
union, declared that it long ha1 been
the dream OF the cotton grower 70
abolish all Intermediate agents who
levy toll unnecessarily on the product

The Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany has begun the work of replac-
ing wooden passenger coaches with
cars constructed of steel. 1t will
build as quickly as possible q 900
steel day coaches and half as many
sleeping cars. In making this change
the Pennsylvania has in view the
saving of money for itself and -the
lessening of loss Of life sin accidents.
OF course cars of steel construction
will not prevent accident, but in case
of collision of steel cars there would
be no danger of fire, and steel will
stand a greater Jar and strain than
wood. The Pennsylvania is leading
the way and other roads must and
will follow. This will be done as q
protection to the roads Themselves
as well as the travelling public.

The meat inspection law went into
effect Oct. /, and now the great mass
of food connections which have been
masquerading behind false labels
will either sell for what they are or
60 to the dump heap. No longer
will slippery veal be potted as chick
en- croquettes, nor stearine, animal
fats and vegetable oil pass as lard.
Beef extract must be actually made
of beef, and if ice cream does not
show up from twelve to fourteen per
cent. of butter fat according to the
bulk of pure fruit mixed with it, 1t
cannot pass muster as cream.
1t should not be assumed that the
Agricultural Department interdicts
the sale of compounds which are not
deleterious to health. 1t only COM
pels the labelling of these things in
proper and truthful names. If veal
is placed in cans the label must say
so; if lard contains anything but lard
it must be designated as lard com
pound. The department merely in
sists that things shall go at what
they actually are. This is fair, and
all right. We believe it will operate
to the benefit of the producer as well
as the consumer The nauseatlng
story of substitution and adultera-
ton relates almost exclusively to
parties between the two.

Bryan and Arbitration.

Mr.. Bryan has been telling the
railway men of North Carolina that
it was his advocacy of arbitration in
labor disputes that defeated him in
1896. He is quoted as saving i'm one
speech that he wrote the arbitration
plank in the Democratic platform,
was devoted to that plank, and that
those who deserted him in that cam
paign did so because of his attitude
on arbitration, and not because of
his attitude on Free Silver. 81 tell
you," said Mr. Bryan, sit was not
the Silver plank but the clause for
arbitration that drove them away"
This is ~ remark able statement,
coming from the ''peerless leader"
of the Democratic party. 1t would
lead one to believe that Mr.. Bryan
was the apostle of arbitration and
not OF Free Silver in that celebrated
campaign Of 1896 But the Repub-
lican convention in 1896, was held
two weeks before the Democratic
convention, and it had an arbitra-
ton plank almost identical with that
in the Democratic platform. In or
dinary affairs the credit Tor advanl-
ing the idea would be given to the
party first adopting it. More than
that, the Republican Congress en-
acted an arbitration law in harmony
with the Republican platform, pro-
viding for arbitration in railway Ia
Dor disputes, authorizing the Inter
state Commerce Commission to first
attempt to conciliate, and then pro
vides for board of arbiterS. That
law was passed by the 55th Congress
soon after Mekinley's Inauguration.
Mr.. Bryan made "A brilliant record
as an orator in that campaign, and
Free Silver was the burden of his
song. Who remember hearing him
tearing passion passion to tatterS
over arbitration, as he did over the
Crime of 1927 And what became of
his arbitration enthusiasm in the
of 1900, when he absolute
~ dominated the Kansas City con-
vention and made the platform on
aiUil he Wa5 willing to stand ?
That Democratic platform is silent
arbitration.
Mr.. Bryan's claim might also be
embarrassed by the state laws, ere
siug boards of arbitration in fully
one-half the Republican States of the
Union, while there are barely two
Democratic States that have such
laws. The trouble seems to be that
Mr. Bryan is finding it difficult to
land a Democratic issue that has not
been discarded by the American
people.
