has n force Of so men at work paving
North Oregon street between the G. H.

TRACTION LINES COMING.

Just how long it will be, cannot be
definitely surmised; but there is every
reason to believe that it is only d qucS-
ton of time and not Il very long time at
that, until the whole Piedmont section
will be scOvered with a network of
traction lines that will connect all the
important towns.
This is the logic of the present oper-
ations of the Southern Power company.
This company is now driving more than
a hundred mills, and furnishing the
power for thousands of smaller enter
prises and that it should take up the
transportation question is so natural
that it is hardly reasonable to look for
anything else.
Mr.. w. S. Lee, first vice presi cent of
the Southern Power company. was in
Yorkvile this week on court business,
and while here, Il representative of The
Enquirer had pleasant talk with him
about things i'm general and this trans
pOrtation proposition, especially. Mr..
Lee was not talking for publication, at
all: but in response to question as to
whether Yorkvillc would probably be
included in the proposed lines, gave out
his general view of the situation about
like this:
"Of course. you can see from the
magnitude of the investments of the
Southern Power company, the company
is looking to the future rather than de-
pending upon the present for its prof
its. The business in sight now is not
nearly sufficient to justify the tremen-
dOuS investment that is being made.
The country must develop and the
Southern Power company recognizes
which it proposes to do. Naturally, the
first traction lines will be between the
larger towns and over the most promiS-
ing routes: but work once started will
continue until all the towns that are
now connected by power lines are con-
nected by trolley lines, and iOrkville
will come in with the rest But Of
course. the power company is not going
to do all this work alone. The general
plan is To make Il partnership of the
enterprise and ask the public to come
i'm with subscriptions of stock. the
power company would not feel war
ranted in undertaking the whole work
alone, but prefers to have the local
public interested in exactly the same
proportion with itself"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1910-04-29

bills of lading will be found to enter
into the local supply situation. TIE
present so-called corner may be said
TO mark a new development In cotton
manipulation. Heretofore the great
spot houses. the McFaddens and 9TH
ers. have usually been sufficiently
strong to bring forward enough cotton
at the last moment to provide deluSe
of deliveries, and thus make an object
for bull operators not to force the situa-
ton to the last extreme. The entrance
of James A. Patten and his large west
ern following into the situation pre-
sents a new factor. as it places. accord
ing to a very general market view, a
combination Of financial strength quite
equal to that of the large spot opera
tors and at the same time a degree or
expertness in manipulation of cotton
supplies quite equal to their own. The
net result of tine speculation is that the
cotton business of the country is at
complete stand, awaiting the result OF
the current contest of manipulation
and money"

CRISIS IN COTTON.
Patten Offered Yesterday to Take All
the Cotton rendered Today.

Patten Offered Yesterday to Take All
the Cotton rendered Today.
New York, April 2S-This is the eve
of the greatest test, perhaps. that bull
operators in cotton have ever faced.
Tomorrow Is the first notice day for
May contracts and it is estimated that
2OO. 900 bales of Gotten, representing a
money value of $14,000,000 are piled up
in New York and vicinity ready for de-
livery to the bull leaders. Most prom
inent among these are James A. Patten
of Chicago, Eugene Scales OF TeXas'
and Messrs. Hayne & Brown OF New
Orleans. whose operations have Deeh
made the subject of Federal inquiry:
Nr Patten is personally on the ground
and in his own words is ready to take
all the cotton rendered me-and pay
for it." >.
With the approach of notice day II
had been expected by many that an
unprotected short interest would be
discovered, thereby causing a sharp ad-
vance But during today's trading
there was nothing to indicate the eX-
istence of any important interest IN
May which was not prepared to deliV-
er cotton some time between now ana
the end of that month.
In consequence the market showed
of the smaller May longs who had been
holding on to their contracts in the
hope of an advance on covering by
speculative shorts and the market dur
ing the day experienced a break as a
result of liquidation
Nav declined to 1440 or $l.75 bale
under the closing figures OF the pre-
vious night and about $3.50 bale be-
low the high level of last Monday.
There was a considerable rally later
however, and after the close 1t was re-
ported that brokers representing Pat
ten had been heavy buyers OF May, July
and October contracts.
There are few in the trade apparent
ly who doubt the ability Of the bulls to
take all cotton rendered them on no.
tices. but 1t is, of course, doubtful if all
the cotton brought here will be deliver
ed at once There are some VINO thlnk
that only sufficient will be rendered to
force the liquidation of any weak long
interest and that the balance will be
carried until near the end of the month.
If the entire amount available is ten
dered, 1t will represent probably the
greatest transaction in spot cotton at
any one time in the history Of the mar
ket.
Patten said this afternoon:
II am ready to take all the cotton
that is rendered me and pay for IT..
What Scales and Brown are going to
do don't know. It's none of my bus
mess. I am here to attend to my own
business. They bought cotton and |
