Under the circumstances 1t Is well
worth repeating.
In every part OF the city ground is
except Friday, for new houses OF one
kind and another. A venerable super
stitution, as absurd as 1t Is aged. Is
the only reason that the spade and
pick-ax are not allowed to break up
the earth for foundations on Fridays.
Messrs. c. W. and j. Lee Davis seem
determined to keep their promise ia
furnish Richmond with new rentable
house each week this year. About two
weeks ago they bought more land a,
the corner of Park Avenue and Syca-
more Street, and are proceeding at once
to haul up the material with which to
erect eight more homes for the new
population OF Richmnd or for the Older
part of it, II they want to buy or rent
Several other wise men are doing
the same kind OF business. ana their
efforts are not confined to any particu-
lar part of the city, but they are gen
eral. However, the fact remains that
Lee District and the far West End are
still leading in the building line.
Manchester and the Suburbs.
The suburbs and Manchester are vie.
ing with Richmond in keeping UP the
building boom. A prominent real es-
tate agent OF the regions to the south
OF the James says that Manchester Is
no way tagging behind in the matter
of laying brick and mailing on shingles
Business houses and residences of all
kinds are being erected. and the old
town Is making desperate efforts to be
able to house all the people who come
within It's borders.
Ground was broken in Barton
Heights for two more houses the past
week. and that runs the list OF homes
in the course Of construction up to an
even dozen.
In Brookland Park Mr.. Harry Hick-
erson, Mr.. Tascott and Mr.. T. ]. Traylor
broke ground the past week tori new
homes. 1t Is reported around Brook
land that a gentleman VINO recently
bought much ground there will within
the next two weeks start seven or eight
new houses on their way to completion
in time for fall occupancy.
At the present time fourteen new
residences are under construction. and
the new Richmond Hall Of the SEM.
nary Will be started within a few
days All OF those building are OF ex-
cellent design, and are destined to be
very handsome homes.

certain stage in its development. and

adjacent to the seminary will soon be

HOLD COTTON FOR MINIMUM.
If There Ever was a Time to Hold

Is 1t because trade conditions are

not have made this advance. 10 not
let little advance in price influence
you to sell. Hold on till the mini
mum is reached. Remember that the
cotton broker has sold your cotton
to the mills Now make him pay the
minimum before he gets it to deliver
to the manufacturers. They are call
ing on him for the cotton, and that
is why the price has advanced.
Now, boys, freeze to it and the
price will get right. The spot cotton
is in your hands and it Is yours. The
other fellow Is beginning to want it
badly now. Remember that 4,5O0,-
900 bales short means something,
and the shortage Is all in your favor.
We all know that crop conditions are
bad, not only east Of the Mississippi,
but west also.
The cotton crop Is at leas. three
weeks late, with bad stands, and the
cold weather has caused much re-
planting. Every day will have to be
an ideal one from now until the crop
is made for us to duplicate the 1907
crop.

tiCn is Is per ce:. better this year

bales more Of American cotton thar

short, and they have been getting
most Of that cotton.
High grade cotton is scarce, no
enough to fill orders that have beer
contracted for. Holding off the mar
ket has been the cause Of the rise.

An Old Lithograph Stone.

(Anderson Cor. Augusta Chronicle.
In pile of rocks and stones
hauled to Wes Market street for a
culvert over Whitner creek, was to-
day found a piece Of the old litho-
graphic stone which was used in the
Confederate printing Office when the
treasury was moved to Anderson
from Columbia. 1t was on May /
1866, that Browns raiders, Yankee
detachment on its way to Georgia,
to capture President Davis, passed
through Anderson, and while here
visited the treasury and destroyed
the presses, stamps and everything
else they could get their hands on.
The Autograph stones were broken
and the pieces scattered. The piece
found to-day will be put away in a
safe place. The treasury, before es-
tablished at Columbia, was at Rich
mond. 1t was moved here from CO.
lumbia to get it out of the way of
Gen. Sherman.

TmLMAN ON CLEVELAND.
Declares That His Opinion Has I'M
dergone No Change.
washington Cor, The state.)


Senator Tillman declares that It
was not his intention to say anything
further on the subject of politics, but
being, as he said, so widely misquoted
on the subject of Grover Cleveland,
he broke over to-day and expressed
himself freely. you may set all
minds at rest. as to my opinion Of
Cleveland by saying that it has not
changed one iota since my first speech
in the Senate denouncing him.
would rather the Democratic party
would now be defeated than to be
victorious with Cleveland or any man
like him at it's head, and 1 am quite
sure that, no matter what the condi-
tion Of his health, should he be nom
mated, he would be beaten worse
than Parker was.
l am at loss to understand how
man usually so accurate as is Mr..
Kohn, should have so misquoted me.
So far as I now recall never men,
toned Cleveland to him the other
day. l certainly did not say that uR-
der any circumstances I would favor
his nomination or the nomination Of
any man like him. What l did say
was that Wall street would welcome
one of the old plutocrats as the DEM
ocratic nominee, preferring to sup
port such so-called Democrat in
preference to Taft, who will be the
Republican nominee, or Bryan. who
will be the Democratic nominee, and
that If the Democratic party could
unite upon one of these Eastern plu-
tocrats, which 1t will, Of curse, not
do, then Taft would be easily de-
feated
II am, of course, for Bryan as the
nominee at Denver, and T am satis-
fed that South Carolina's delegates
will be for Bryan, but l am opposed
to instructing them because our con-
vention is not going to send men to
Denver who can be bamboozled or
bought, and instructions are unnec-
essary.
A>o", haNthS uecu SOduGu lllO
this thing, 1 am going to tell you
what l think about this tempest in a
teapot about instructing the delega-
ton. Gonzales wants to make 1t ap-
pear that he is the biggest Bryan
man in the State, so that If Bryan is
elected the editor of The State can
control the South Carolina patron
age. The trouble with Hemphill Is
that he has never been able to see
anything in Cleveland but demigod
and he opposed Bryan in 1896, and
he is Of the kind who never changes
his mind. Hemphill was in the wrong
then, and to support Bryan now
might appear as an admission that
he was wrong. That's the whole
cause OF the mighty racket over In.
structions.'

The Question of Hats.

The size, the style and incidently,
the cost Of women's hats, says writ
er in the "Berliner Umschau," have
taken up so much Of the time Of the
people who make hats a study that
4hey have not had a moment to de-
vote to the head covering OF the
sterner sex. Considered from the
hygenic point Of view, little fault can
he found with the hats of our sisters,
although some of them, when viewed
through the glass of reason, are un-
thinkable. But mems hats are faulty
from the physicians point Of view,
and a wider knowledge Of the defects
of the modern hat would add to the
already large army Of bareheaded
men. In order to demonstrate which
hats should be avoided a perfectly
healthy man was placed where the
rays Of the sun could strike him d.
rectly. He wore while taking the
sun bath various kinds OF hats for q
period Of fifteen minutes each. Every
hat contained in the crown a thermo-
gneter, and these recorded as follows:
rIhc one in the Panama hat, TT de-
1grees; the straw "sailor," 81; the
silk hat, So; the felt hat, 90, and
the black felf and yachting cap, 90
and 100 degrees, respectively.
