BIC COTTON MILLS
MAY SHUT DOWN

Charlotte, N. c.. October "A critical
situation and one of rare occurrence con-
fronts southern cotton mills because of
the high price of raw cotton and unless
there is decided drop in the price of
the staple in less than two weeks, accord
ing to ex-President S. B. Tanner of the
American Cotton Manufacturers associa-
ton southern mills will be forced to
shut down.
1T is very easy question TO answer"
said Mr.. Tanner, "as to what the mills,
both cloth aud yarn, will do in the event
of 1S-cent cotton continuing as at pres
emit
1T will mean that there will be no
money in textile products, and the mills,
after using up what small stocks of cot
ton they have on haT d, will have to shut
downfall is if cloth and yarn, especi-
ally the former, do not take a decided
jump upwards, bigger jump than cotton
manufacturers would expect under the
circumstances"
1t was further declared that the mills
are buying practically no raw cotton at
prevailing figures-13 cents-nor will they
lay in stocks at that figure, for the
quotations on cotton goods and cotton
yarns are far too low to leave any profit
to the manufacturer today. In other
words the mill that makes cloth out of
13-cent cotton and sells its product at
prevailing prices will lose its profit and d
great deal more, in fact the proposition
is impractical and will not be experiment.
ed In by any of the manufacturers
Many Of the mills have some little cot
ton on hand which they stored when cot
ton was bringing 10 and Il cents, but
these stocks are short and will shortly be
exhausted.
President Parker of the American Cot
ton Manufacturers association has called
a meeting of the board of governors for
Friday, October 8. in Charlotte to con-
s'5er the question of curtailment of pro-

COUNTRY EDITORS DAY.
Many Varied Calls on His Time, but
He Meets Them All.
(Washington Post.l

The duties of the editor of live coun-
try weekly, with a circulation Of 5000
and a working force of fifteen or eight
cen, are as the sand swept by the tides.
There is no end to EN-.
At 100 a, m. Saturday morning such
an editor was seated on his high stool
at the long desk in the front part of his
print shop slicing open his mail He
checked off the renewals on the mailing
list to his right, handed the foreman
the complaints from patent medicine
adYerUsers and their changes, and with
pen and ink attended to the letters that
required answers. Then he rolled up
$50 papers in single wraps, marked each
one sample copy with a rubber stamp
and addressed them to possible sub
scribers and advertisers.
Between g and 9 he refereed a cOntro-
versy between his foreman and one OF

TO decipher ten pages of badly written
penmanship by "Old Subscriber" and

BALLOON TRIP
INDUCES SLEEP
Former Salt Lake Resident
Takes Nap High in the
Clouds.

Many of the local people who have
had dealings on the Salt Lake stock
and mining exchange during the last
two years read with interest the news
paper accounts Friday morning of the
interesting balloon trip enjoyed Thurs
day by p. Chester Thompson. a former
Salt Laker. in company with Charles
J. Glidden, Boston balloon pilot,
when they assembled above the clouds
TO a height of 400 feet. Mr.. Thomp-
son, according TO his pilot, was affected
to such an extent by the altitude that
he fell asleep and slept for an hour.
Mr.. Thompson was mentioned in the
dispatches as an engineer Of Salt Lake,
but was not so known here. He came
to this city from New York about two
years ago as a promoter, and was as
sociated for a time in business with
Richard J. Evans on the mining ex-
change, and later figured as represent
ative of Samuel Newhouse. He re-
NAMED here only a few months, re-
turning to New York last year, and has
since been in that city and in Boston.

busy. Couldn't you come round Mon
day?"
I will not be in town Monday. I live
IN Iowa, and I'm here visiting my
nephew, Tom Jones. Mr.. Jones takes
your paper"
"oh. he does? Well, go ahead and
read it."
The editor settled YEARLY back in a
chair, and the collector left, saying she
would return in the afternoon for the
bills. TIE poet got out IN the middle Of
the big room and read it in a tragic
voice. The printers, thinking # a free
entertainment, quit work and gathered
around There were ten pages Of the
poem. and it took an hour 70 get rid Of
the poet.
Then the editor began again on his
bills, finished them, and, the collector
having gone, he started to go out with
them himself, when aaother caller was
ushered in. He had a frOwn on his face
and the editor saw trouble in his SUD
pressed manner. He wanted to know if
the paper meant to ridicule him and his
family about a cat and a parrot story
it had printed in that issue. He said
the parrot was worth $3.50, and that he
could not see anything to joke about
when the cat killed it.
The editor manfulIy assumed all blame
for the story, which had been written
by a reporter, insisted that no harm
had been intended, and that he would
be more careful in the future. When the
visitor left the frown was gone and the
editor had another dollar for renewal
Directly after dinner the editor was
summoned to a private meeting Of the
coUnty's lawyers and a few citizens to
consider a threatened move by certain
persons who held a large number Of
bonds against the county. and with
whom the county had been litigating for
thirty years. It was a serious and i'm
portant meeting, and lasted until late in
the afternoon.
When the editor got back to his Of
flee he found the collector had been
there, waited an hour. and left in dis
gust. Then he took the bills and went
out to collect from the merchants dur
ing the rush hour Of the busiest day in
the week.
He hated to do it, but he knew at .
o'clock the bread line would form by
that long desk. and that the ghost had
to dance whether it felt in a frOiicky
mood or not As the clock was striking
the hour the editor, bit tired, but with
light of victory in his eye, was on hand
with the goods.
When the last toiler had passed by the
long desk the telephone rang. 1t was
call from the superintendent OF the At
lanta public school, twelve miles back
in the country. The superintendent said
there was TO be a GeclamatOry contest
at his school that evening, and that the
board had decided TO have the editor act
as judge. He knew the editor would be
delighted with the honor. and they
would look for him at 1880 sharp. AS
the D2DaT has q large subgcrinffOn list
at Atlanta. the editor had to go and
umpire the proceedings, which lasted
until nearly midnight.
Next morning at $3.50 sharp the editor
was on hand at the Presbyterian Sun
day school, where he taught a class, and
not long thereafter smiled indulgently
as the late arrivals excused their tardi-
ness on the grounds OF multitudinous
duties

AERoPLANEs WILL WORK WITH

Samuel H. ellison OF this city. who is
perfecting his plans for the manufac-
ture OF an aerOmotor and aerOplane,
which he recently has had patented, and
with which he hopes to accomplish much
good for the country, in commercial
way, expects TO complete his trial en-

CINE, which has been in course OF con-
strUCtlOn several months. at the foundry
Of Silver Brothers iron works, is of 30

an engine of lU9-horsepOwer with a sheel
Of steel, about three-siXteenths OF an inch
in thickness, backed up with aluminium,
TO make the engine as light as possible.
This engine would have a diameter Of
thirty inches and it is said that it would
weigh scarcely more than $50 or ~
pounds.
The aeromotor, for which Mr.. ellison
already has obtained a patent, consists
OF an engine, mounted on wheels, which
enable IT 70 run along the ground to get

The aeromotor, in the general plan Of
MI ellison, would correspond to the 10
connective OF a train or the tugboat of a
barge, and would be found OF use in
attaining a high velocity through the
air, being used TO haul one or more aero
planes. The aerOplane, as shown in the
picture made from the model built by

Independently Of the aerOmotOr, although
the idea would be, in commercial use,

place of the engine, as shown in the pic

TO maintain its own equilibrium in the
air automatically, unlike the Wright
brothers airship, the course of which is
regulated by levers, worked by an opera
tor.
As shown in the picture, the two ends
of the wing are operated by a piniOn in
the center attached TO wheel which in
turn operates on a rachel. Should either
end of the aerOplane dip, when in the

thus present an obstruction to the air,
