New York City.-Just at this time
while pessimists who tremble at the
mere mention of Wall Street are
looking for financial stringency, New
York hotels are reaping q harvest
from an army Of men whose pred1c-
lions reflect the financial conditions
better than can any rise or depres-
sion of securities. This legion repre-
sents the merchants of the entire con-
tinent.
1t is a conservative estimate to say
that $5,500,0OO has been spent in
New York City by this buying and
selling commercial army, in small ad-
vance orders, in living expenses and
in amusement, for the daily expedi-
lures of a majority Of the visitors
have been very heavy.
you may use Wall Street here as
a bugaboo with which to brighten
Fifth avenue and to keep Newport
meek at times" said Ernest Jackson,
at the Cadillac, but the American
people don't tremble at the mention
of the lame any more. The talk or
an approaching panic, while 1t seems
to make New York feel glum, is
scoffed at by those who appreciate
the real resources of the nation and
who feel that a panic cannot come
v e if the money kings try to create
one"
Mr.. Jackson has for years been
amor the chief Southern travelling
men of Arnold, Constable Co., touch
ing on his travels the principal cities
and towns Of fourteen Southern
States.
SCOTS at Talk Of Panic.
: IF there is a panic coming, as
those who see trouble where no trou-
BILE exists predict" said he, cit will
be due solely to that fear which
causes a child to look into the dark
hall for a bear. The men of Wall
Street do. not any hold the
money power in their hands. What
if they do get together and say there
is a stringency? That doesn't alter
the fact that Texas will grow 4,0OO,-
900 bales of cotton, worth at present
prices $3.50, 100000, and that the
other cotton-growing States will add
100000 additional bales, worth
S450,000,00
Think what that crop alone
meal to the country. A S60O,OOO,-
600 cotton crop means prosperity for
the South. That is an enormous sum
Of money - within $150,00O,O 600 OF
the debt Of New York City"
I'VE did just what We expected"

All South and West Scott
at the Idea Of Hard Times

said the manager of the Victoria.
New York is so busyit doesn't watch
the ebb and flow of travel Is do the
hotel men. The lobby has been full
of Western and Southern merchants
for six weeks, and the talk has all
been on shipments and case lots
and percentages and discounts Oft
for ten or thirty day payments"
I've had commercial men and
buyers here in swarms for two and a
half months" said the manager OF
the Cadillac, land a busy spending
bunch they are. They have all been
CHEEKY and happy, and I have yet tc
see one who predicted anything but a
booming trade"
Too Busy For Pessimism.
IF the United States wants a
panic, or if Wall Street shuts up on
New York's money supply, send word
to South Carolina and we'll help the
East out" said W. G.. Aarants, buyer
and manager for the Kerrisow Dry
Goods Co., of Charleston, S. c. "The
State in which I live Is too busy max.
ing money to pay any attention to.
or to have any sympathy with, talk
of panic or hard times.
Our merchants are getting rich.
manufactures are springing up, are
adding enormously to the wealth OF
the farmer and the spinner and our
banks and trust companies are carry
ing millions of dollars on deposit.
Cotton at six cents is profitable;
at fourteen it is a boon ~incalculable.
for it means nearly $500, 100000 an
nually to the South. While we have
billions we can't see Wall Street. NC
trust m%agnates, using that imperfect
financial thermometer, the Stock Elk
change, should be allowed to cause

a. v. Billet, of the William II
Horstman Company: Texas alone is
an empire vast in dimensions and sc
vastly wealthy that her people would
brand themselves ridiculous to think
of hard times. The farmers and the
cattlemen are rolling in wealth; the
oil industry has added millions and
the merchants are doing tremendous
volumes of trade"
Il. F. Connole, of Baltimore, says:
with Iowa Boosting a S35O,0O0,00O
corn crop and Kansas almost reach
ing her, while the South is getting
fancy prices on 100000 bales OF
cotton, there is money in plenty. The

said that a very rank cheese was once

to Private Jones is not called for in

DRIVE H|NDUS FROM CITY
Twelve Hundred ksiatics Forced
to Flee From BslIingham, Wash.
Mob of 500 Whites Raids Lodging.
Houses and Mills-Race Troubles
Long Brewing.

Bellingham, Wash. 49, Six badly
beaten Hindus are in the hospital,
400 frightened and half naked Sikhs
are in Jail and in the corridors of the
City Hall, guarded by policemen, and
somewhere between Bellingham and
the British Columbia line are more
than $50 natives of India, beaten,
hungry and half clothed, making their
way along the Great Northern Rail-
way to British territory and the pro-
lection of the British flag.
The long expected cry, "Drive out
the Hindus!" was heard the night be-
fore throughout the city and along
the water front. The police were
helpless. All authority was paralyzed
and for five hours a mol of half a
thousand white lei raided the mills
where the foreigners were working,
battered down doors of lodging
houses and, dragging the Asiatics
from their beds, escorted them to the
city limits with orders to keep going.
The trouble started at G and Holly
streets, a lodging house district. The
houses were cleared and the mob then
swept down to the water front and
mill after mill was visited, the white
employees joining the mob. Every
Hindu was hustled outside.
Here the police suggested that the
mob victims be taken to Jail. This
was hailed with delight and the Hin
dus were hustled along. From this
time on few were beaten. The moi
kept up it's work along the water
front until early next morning, when
Larson's mill at Whatcom Lake was
visited and 100 Hindus brought in
from there.
Four women were found among the
crowd in the city building. The city
is quiet, but there is a strong under
current of opinion which apparently
approves the action of the mob, and
it may be found impossible to punish
the leaders.
Racial feeling has played nc small
part in affairs here. Every day whites
have been replaced in the mills by
Asiatics. Many instances of white
women being pushed into the cutters
or ~insulted on street cars by the for
eigners were reported. General un-
easiness of the whites is given as a
reason for the outbreak.
The Hindus are all British subjects
and this matter is being placed before
the British authorities.
