KiH6 COTTON WILL REIGN THIS FALL.

PsdIc'l'a Made That staple With Bring Is
Cents and More.
From the present prospects, and
outlook, according to several COT
ton merchants in the city. King
Cotton will regain his throne this
fall. The strongest period in tie
reign of the monarch of the South
was iii the years of 1904 when his
stock went to 16 65 and the year
of 1910 when his grip was the
firmest the world has ever known,
or rather the later day cottc n
world. The price of cotton that
yesi rea :hed the nigh water mark
of 1875 sud stayed up for some
Little time
After the phenomsnal jump in
the price of the 1910 staple, the
farmers of the S nth went cotton.
mad, with the result that nearly
every planter had his entire acre.
sge in cotton. The result was al
me st a disaster to the farmers
last year when the bottom drop.
ped out of the market and the
price went to rook-botton levels.
When the warehouses of the
South were filled with the left
over cotton of the large yield. and
all of the markets were flooded
with the staple, the men of the
cotton belt began to devise means
to keep she farmers from repeat
ing the folly Of last year. John
q. Anderson of Rock Hill thought
out the idea Of forming what la.
ter became known as the "Re ok
Hill plan." The idea was for
every farmer who had been in the
habit of raising any cotton to
make a reduction of 20 per cent
of his entire acreage of the staple.
The plan was taken up by a mum.
Der of States and the idea was
carried out by thousands of far
mers throughout the cotton 1e.
gion.
The aspects for small crop
this year are very good. A num-
ber of Charlotte cotton merchants
we're asked to make some forecast
for the years crop and price.
Without an exception. the buyers
and sellers predicted a crop of
12,OO0.O 600 to 14.OOO,O 600 hales to
be ginned this year In the cotton
belt. When asked to give some
defnate answer a. to why they
figured the crop to be 90 much
smaller than the one last year,
they gave various reasons. One
man stated that the crop would
not reach 100000 bales, and
that a crop of that size meant
that the price would join the up.
ward movement and 60 to Is
cents or over. He stated that
he mad been ssudy ug the oondi-
tions Of the cotton belt and found
them very unfavorsble to ths rails
i1g of a bumper crop this year.
He gave IS his reasons that the
eastern part OF the ,tton belt had
suffered heavily from the rains of
the season past and that the stake
we're ssppy and runted. The crop
of cotton is later than it shon Id
DO and that he is of the opinion
that an early frost may catch the
crop. In the westean section of
the belt, he said there had been a
scarcity of rain and that the crop
was suffering from that reason.
He expressed Q firm belief that
the price would reach Is osnts q
p ,und for spots in the fall, and
that if the conditions got any
worse, the price may reach that
of 1904 when it went to 1865

tubes into empty sheels that were
to be loaded. The supposition OF
factory officials is that at the time
of the accident she had In her arms,
or near her a casing of powder. con-
tanning possibly three pounds OF
black powder. A blue fame and d
report from a tube caused the first
explosion and 1t is presumed the
second and worst explosion occurred
when powder in the casing went off.
Her body was hurled from the pow
der room, In which the explosions
occurred, across the floor of the
main factory building.
Machine Was Smoking.
According to Miss Mary Smith, OF
Watson avenue, one of the en-
ployes in the factory, Miss Kellner
had complained that her powder
dropping machine had been smoking
for two days prior to the accident
The Smith girl declares Miss Kell-
ner called the attention of this to
her foreman and he said powder
could not smoke without exploding,
and claimed it was only dust. 1t APP
pears Miss Ke1lner had always had
more or less fear about working In
the factory because of handling ex-
plosives and 1t Is declared her moth
err had instilled that fear IN her, in
vain attempts to prevent her from
working at the factory. 1t Is stated
Mrs. Kellner had repeatedly warned
her daughter about working there
and on Wednesday morning. tho day
of the accident. had pleaded with
every effort to keep her daughter at
home. The girl had told her she
was making a dollar a day and
wanted to earl the money. Her sud-
den death has caused fear to spread
among most of the other girls at the
cartridge works, but some are at
work there nevertheless.
Negroes Carry Powder.
Two negro men are carrying pow
der tubes from the magazine to the
loading room o the second floor of
the cartridge plant, where the load
ing process Is carried on by girls at
These men are doing the
work usually performed by an auto
matte conveyor, which is not run
ming because of the explosion, ofic-
ials state.
Captain Doe Talks.
Captain Dee, superintendent at
the cartridge plant, said today
Thomas Loughlin and William Reid,
maehinists, who have "a wide
knowledge of cartridge making and
handling explosives, only tried to
do a humane act when they tried to
keep employees on the second floor
Of the factory Immediately follow
the explosion when the employees
became panic stricken and rushed
the building. Captain Doe
says he considers the girls are given
good pay for doing but nine hours
work a day.
Funeral Is Tomorrow.
The funeral of the girl victim of
the explosion will be held tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock In st. Mary's
