occasional bad management. The most
serious consequence Of the want OF con-
fidence has been the general withdraw
al of funds from the banks, causing
depletion of money reserves and an
inevitable contraction OF banks cred
IT'S this condition has been aggra-
vated by a set of New York specala-
tors who are Offering premiums for
currency, thereby divarting the circu-
lating medium from its proper COM
gradually returning as confidence was
restored.
''It must be clear 20 any reasoning
man that there is no less actual money
IN the country than there was thirty
days ago, no less actual property and
no less potential possibilities of pros
perity. Confidence aEone IS wanting.
Confidence is purely q mental attitude,
but as it takes much less to arouse
suspicion than it does to allay it, SO
1t takes longer to restore confidence
than to destroy it. Thus, while the
Ianic came on suddenly, recovery must
be gradual and slow. In this situa
tiOn the south is particularly fortunate
j. it will but use It's means intelli-
gently. Cotton is the one article OF
commerce that has world wide de-
m%nd, and il southern holders would
sell in sufficient quantities to pay back
10 the merchants ard banks money
advanced to make the crop, conditions
for this section would be greatly re-
IS 1t necessary to have currency to
market the cotton, be cause checks, be-
ing themselves a form Of currency,
can effectuate transfers and create bal
ances in favor Of southern banks. IN
this connection We take occasion to
observe that Mr.. Theo H. Price is no
philanthropist, and MS advice to the
south to ship cotton to New York to
deliver on December contracts is moth
ing but a scheme to have the south
furnish the cotton which he has sold
| short and which he cannot bring to
| New York because cotton is worth
more at country points than on con-
tract in New York. Beware of the
Greeks bringing presents.
The south is solder than it has ev-
er been. There is no occasion for
alarm but every reason for hope. The
times demand courage and resolution,
confidence between man and man, and
the putting away of groundless fears.
The boarding of money, which should
be in the channels of trade for the
transaction Of business, is nothing
short of Il public evil and every man
should realize that he cannot stand
alone in the community, and that the
unWlse act Of a number of men reacts
adversely on the whole community.
'Recalling our advice when the cot
/ ton season opened, that it was unwise
to hold cotton until debts were paid.
We are OF the same opinion still. We
| believe that when debIs are paid the
balance Of the crop can be easily held
until spring when much higher prices
are likely to prevail. 1t is sometimes
necessary to unload part of the bur
den in order to save the balance, and
If the south can finance its surplus
cotton until spring, which it can dc
by selling to the extent of paying it's
debts, we believe thar a high average
can be obtained for the entire CROP

Following q meeting of the directors
OF the Clarendon WaIerworks Company
held yesterday afternoon at the COM
pany's office on Princess street, =
formal reply was sent to the mayor
and board of aldermen concerning the
offer made in behalf OF the city
, recently OF $4,000 for the company's
plant, the reduction from Sl55. 900. the
sum first agreed on having been made
following the discovery that the plants s
earnings were not as large as sup
posed.
The directors refuse TO accept the
reduced offer and state that a contract
has already been entered into by the
city and that this contract is binding
and valid. However. with the view
Of bringing about an amicable ad-
justment the company suggests that il
| will agree to arbitration. this course
| having frequently been suggested last
week while there was an apparent
deadlock in the negotiations.
The letter in reply to the city's Of
| fer, which was handed in person to
hdyol opl IhSCi idLS sCcNSAu"y StLSNi
! noon, is as follows
Wilmington, n c.. Nov. is. 1907.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board
of Aldermen, City.
Dear Sirs:-
Your communication Of the 1lth
instant was duly received and we re-
gret that circumstances prevented ar
rTrh in, Lts
thereto to state that we have con
tract for the purchase Of our plant
and property with the city which We
are advised is binding and valid. both
in morals and also in law, and equity.
We cannot therefore accept reduction
in the purchase price as agreed upon
in the contract.
You may recall that in almost
every interview had with your negOti-
ating committee they stated that they
did not regard our plant as of any
utility to the city, except as one to
build on and enlarge; that the only
use was its physical value. Our eX
pert placed this value at $202 10000.
Your expert at $161 100000. We con-
thing for it as a going concern as
recommended by your own expert.
You were not willing to it. We got
together finally on the basis OF s155.
10000, which we had great difficulty
in inducing our stockholders to accept.
l. number contending that it was worth
over S202 100000 as minimum. How
ever, they finally yielded and We
closed with the city at S155, 100000,
less than the amount placed by the
city's own expert on the physical
Talue.
How then can you under the cir
cumstances expect us to modify the
contract already made and reduce the
price to s1400000G?
If the matter can be adjusted 0y
arbitration we will agree TO settle the
controversy that way, referring it to
two disinterested citizens with power
to choose an umpire in case of dis
agreement. This proposition is made
without waving the rights Of either
party, but in a spirit TO bring about
an amicable settlement.

POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT.
EnaIlsh Writer Sees Significance In
Glorficaton Of Robbers.

The idea OF private property has
never been fully accepted by the
masses of the people, and never had
their cordial approval as IN institu-
ton. says a writer in the London
News. The most popular songs and
ballads of our nation in all ages, 1t
may be noted, have been those which
described alphabetically attacks on
private property, from the Robin Hood
cycle to the broadsheets In which
Turpin and Sheppard were made
heroes.
Even nowadays the literature that
really touches the people, the litera-
ture that the educated classes seldom
so much as see exposed for sale, the
literature that is sold in the small
general" shop in the back street, and
costs fewer pennies than the novel we
know costs shillngs, still very largely
deals with the romantic exploits OF
the robber. He Is never villain; he
is noble and generous to fault; but
he Is convinced of the improperly OF
persons having too much money.
