Does he mean that the Presiden tial

The city Of Charleston hopes to
have the pleasure OF entertaining,
during the week embracing from the
25th to the 30th of this month. Wis
ttOrs from every quarter Of South
Carolina. Always a charming place
to visit, Charleston presents at this
season of the year hundreds Of at
fractions for everybody, and eSpe-
cially will tn ) be true during that
period between the 25th and Goth of
this month. If you are contemplate
ing visit to Charleston in the near

Festival Week. 1t will give you an
opportunity to sec Charleston at her
best.
With three great coal-carrying
and adequate facilities for handling

the future has never been so bright
for Charleston as at present, and
CharlcStOnianS are convinced that
these matters are Of deep interest to
the people Of all South Carolina and
that they will directly affect the wei
fare Of the entire State.
1t is desired, therefore, to bring

lima into the closest possible touch
and sympathy, and 1t is for this rea-
son that the present festival is being
S;ven, with leading business men

trained. and in which one of the fin
est orchcstras of the country will
make its initial appearance in the
South.
Charleston hopes to have the plea

self most brilliantly to new comers
and old friends alike.

WALHALIiA, s.. O.:
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Is, 1000.
NO CHANGE OF SCHEDULE.

II Is a source Of qualification that
the Blue Ridge Railway officials
have abandoned the proposed change
in schedule on that road. The Sched-
ule outlined would have proved in
convenient to the public and of lit
seems to be but one rcmc ly for the
bad railroad service from the upper
part of the State to Columbia and
Charleston. and that Is the addition
the line of the Columbia and Green
Vile division of the Southern. The
railroad officials, however, claim that
this IS not practicable now on ac-
count OF insufficient business to JUS
tify ii. Until such an addition can
he made on the main line il seems
useless to try to remedy the matter.
1t IS neither just nor reasonable to
inconvenience everybody along the
line of the Blue Ridge in order to
conform to the schedules OF that road
to those OF the Columbia and Grcrn-
willie division OF the Southern.
1t is announced by the Blue Ridge
officials that no change OF schedule
will be made at present, and this de-
cision IS appreciated By the people
along the line, who want the best
possible service and connections for
the lower part of the State, but to
whom the local service is of vastly
more Importance and practical value.
The present schedule is one OF the
best we have ever had, and with the
third train on the Columbia and
GrcCnVillc division restored would
furnish ideal service. 1t is likely
that, with business conditions assum-
ing normal proportions again, the
Southern can in the near future be
prevailed upon to restore the third
train service.

NO LARGE HOLD-OvER COTTON
Reports of Large Reserve Stocks are

Atlanta, Oct. 9.-Henry S. Reed,

sued a statement about the alleged
large stocks of that commodity car
ried over and now heid in reserve.
He says:
Statements have been made rela-

carried over, etc. But the carry
over, as shown by the following fig
ures for September 1, 1908, and
September /, 1909, was but normal
"Spinners' stocks in Great Britain
on September !, 1909, were $4,000
bales, as against 277,OOO bales on
September /, year, or an actual
shortage Of 1000 bales this year, as
compared with last.
"SpinnerS' stocks on the continent
Of Europe, September /, 1909, aggre-
gated 100000 bales, against l.
$4,000 on September 1 a year ago.
This Is an actual increase Of 1877
600 bales, making the increase in
foreign stocks, September 1, 1909,
over September /, 1908, $4,000
bales, or enough to run the conti-
mental mills three days, or enough
to run the English mills five days
The English mills used 10000 bales
per week during August, 1909, and
10000 bales during August, 1908.
The continental mills used 10000
bales per week during August, 1909,
and 1908. The total weekly con-
sumption abroad during August
1909, was 10000 bales, against

AS TO THE PRICE or COTTON.

There are two great factors wag-
ing merry war in the South o-day
the Southern cotton manufacturers
and the Southern cotton grower.
The former is going to get the raw
material at ,he lowest possible price
and the latter is going to get the
highest possible price for his staple
and his labor.
Both are right.
The manufacturers say they must
curtail production or close down their
mills unless the price OF cotton is
lowered. We believe they are hon
est in their assertions, under existing
conditions. But present conditions
are not going to prevail much longer
1t IS fact that cotton goods have
not risen in price in proportion to
the price Of the raw material, but
this by no means indicates that the
price OF the raw material is too high
business has been Stagnant for cigh-
teen months and more, and during
that time the mills have worked full
time and stacked the manufactured
article in their warehouses. 1t may
take short curtailing Of production
10 bring about readjuStmcnt OF the
price Of the finished goods in fair
proportion to that OF the raw mate
rial, but it will not be for long Bust
ness conditions are improving gradu-
al Ia
mcnt of cloth from warehouses will
become brisk, and within the next
six months the mills OF the South are
going to find themselves Straining
thcir every nerve to meet the de
mands Of home consumption and
foreign trade.
We do not believe that the propo-
sition OF the mills to curtail produc-
tion or close for a period is bluff. :"
IF present conditions were to con-
tinuc indefinitely it would be a ne
c"ssity. The mills arc not, as a rule.
making money, and many are actu-
ally operating at n loss. But we
have faith in the future, and the sit
uatiOn is bound to brighten mate
rally.
But the fact we want TO emphasize
is this: A reduction in the price Of
raw material now would not mate
rally affect the mills. If cotton were
thrown on the market now in bulk
and the price forced down, materially,
90 per cent Of IL would be grabbed up
by spectators, and the 10 per cent
the mills might secure would not run
them ten weeks. Spectators do not
buy cotton for fun, and the mills
would fare worse at their hands than
at the hands Of the producer. A

THE NEW RAILWAY SCHEDULES.
They Will Not Affect Trains on Blue
Ridge Railway.
Anderson Mail, 11th.o

Capt. j. r. Anderson. Superin tend
ent Of the Blue Ridge Railroad, said
to-day that when the new schedules
on the C. & G.. road go into effect
the Blue Ridge Railroad will not be
affected save in the breaking OF the
connection with the early morning
train for Columbia.
People west of Anderson will have
but one train day to Columbia.
When the people along the Blue
Ridge road heard of the PROPOSED d
change on the c. e G. road they be-
gan to enter protests. They feared
that if the Blue Ridge road under.
took to make connection with the
early train from Columbia at Belton
it would mean that they would have
to leave home before daylight to get
to Anderson, and they did not lik e
the idea of any such arrangement as
that.
They filed so many protests will
Capt. Anderson that he has needed
their wishes, and the schedule Of tn g
Blue Ridge trains will not be affect
cd. He is, OF course, bound to look
after the interests and wishes Of the
patrons of his road.
1t is not believed, though, that The
new schedule on the C. & G. road
will be in effect very long. 1t is
parties concerned, in the opinion of
many people who have been studyin,,
it during the past few days.
The new schedule will go into eff
feet next Sunday, 1t Is thought.
