Satin charmeuse is particularly
liked for the dark petticoats. This
material can be purchased at a mod
crate price, which fact is one reason
for its great popularity. In some Of
the novelty petticoats made of this
material, slashes appear at one or both
sides. This is an attractive feature
when a very narrow width is used.
Soft taffetas are used a great deal
in the cheaper grade of petticoats.
When the entire petticoat is not made
Of this material, the tops are of jersy
silk or wool. They usually show a
deep ACCORDION section fiounce of mes
saline with a fiat silk dust ruffle.
One should always make an effort
to buy a petticoat that corresponds
exactly with ones waist and skirt
length measurements. To put a tuck
in silk skirt is to take a great risk,
for the stitching often cuts the silk
and soon renders the skirt WORTHLESS.

If it it not possible to get the cor
rect size, it will pay to remove the
superfiuous length by cutting off ma
terial at the top, and by taking deep
seams. This may mean a little
more time. but it will also mean
money in the pocket.
There is a great tendency for the
wearing of bright-colored petticoats.
This does not mean that those of dark
tones for tailored wear are to be
pushed aside. One must remember
that there are various types Of women
those who quickly accept the novel
ties in fashion, those who quietly ac-
cept the medium models and those

affecting a business custom OF so
long standing as the specializing
in cotton, should have more than
an experimental motive. There
are many things which will
stand experimenting with, but
when it comes to a business mat
ter affecting a large section OF
the country, and there IS no
assurance of a betterment OF
conditions, we think the part OF
wisdom would lay in caution.
Those who have been in the
cotton business, and have the
interests of the growers 1T heart,
are not enthusiastic cTet the
threats of legislative interfer-
ence with the cotton dealing
methods so long in vogue, they
think the business should regu-
late itself, and not have it
menaced by the lawmaking pow
ers; they contend that once the
cotton business becomes subject
to legislation, it will not be long
before it will be merged into
politics and become the football
of politicians. thereby making
the cotton business uncertain,
and sensitive every election year,
and too, there will be no way
of calculating with any degree of
sureness what the price will be;
under present methods, with the
Department of Agriculture keep

THE MILL MERGER.

The cotton mill merger re-
Gently affected is regarded by
many as menacing to the inter
ests of the growers of the pro-
duct these mills will manufac-
ture, and, that it is an open de-
fance of the trust laws. If the
great Standard Oil and the meat
packing concerns which the gov
ernment has been investigating
were in violation of the laws,
then we do not see how cotton
mills that have gone into the
merger occupy any different po-
sition. There is a reason for
this merger based upon saving
money, both,in operation, and to
make greater di-idends for the
owners, butif this amalgamation
also means to procure the raw
material to manufacture at less
cost, then the growers of cotton
will be the losers, and they should
demand government protection.
The governor in message to the
legislature when this merger
scheme Was first reported. urged
an investigation: but the:mllE in.
terests succeeded in not having
anything done, now however,
there is no longer any secret Of
the purpose to amalgamate, and
if the South Carolina legislature
does not have it looked into, SER
ious consequences may result.
A monopoly of South Carolina
interests, if it reduces the price
of the commodity of the farmers.
is as serious to the masses as a
monopoly created by the laws of
New Jersey, and if the merging
of these many cotton mills is not
for the purpose of aiding in max
ing larger profits for the owners,
then we cannot see the object.
Mergers, combinations and
trusts are one and the same
thing. if they are in restraint of
trade, they should be looked af-
ter by the government as a pro-
lection to labor aud to the grow
erS Of cotton.

The COTTON FUTURE AGITATION.

Congressman Lever proposes
to make a fight against cotton
future gambling, is anannounce-
ment from Washington. There
are several bills on this subject
for congressional consideration,
but the South Carolina congress
man has an independent one
which he will press. When con-
gress had under consideration
legislation to regulate the deal
ing in cotton futures, it had the
effect of making the market
skittish, to the extent that prices
were unstable, now that the crop
has been harvested, the masses
will have a better opportunity of
studying the provisions OF the
several bills, and especially, the
one which will be proposed by
Mr.. Lever. It is our opinion
that no bill congress can enact
into law affecting the specula
tion in cotton, can be productive
of good to the grower of the
staple, but it may have the ef'
feet of placing the making OF
prices in the power of the for
eign markets. We hope the
Farmers Union, and the other
agricultural organizations in the
cotton growing States, will take
this matter up for investigation:
send a delegation on to Wash
ington to ascertain just what,
those who are after the cotton
exchanges, seek tou 60, and to
find out whether or not the effect
will be to the interest of the
grower.
We know from Mr.. Levers
record in congress he has un-
ceasingly labored for the agrl-
cultural masses, and, it is be-
cause of his zeal, he occupies
his present high position of
chairman of the agricultural
committee. one of the most i'm
portant in congress, at the same
time, this matter of legislation

TIE PEOPLE, NOT TIE Law AT FAULT.

Under the head 'sTo solve big
question" in Mondays State
there is a letter from L. D.
Childs, Chester S. G. which takes
the editor to task for his ccn-
ments on tho action of the
Princeton seniors excluding in
toxicants from their annual class
dinners, and while Mr. Childs
reasons well the position be takes
against that taken by The States
editor, like most theorists he
reaches conclusions without
examining into the facts. He is
a Prohlbitionist looking for law
to carry ont his theory. He says.
ssLet us get behind our legisla-
tors-not to drive, no, by no
means that. out to support and
encourage in an honest effort to
put a plain, common sense.
workable liquor law in our stat
utes. At present, any vicious
.."blind tiger with the price of
an attorneys fee can make faces
at the court; any idler unwilling
to work for a living can secure
himself a charter, set up "a
s'club'' and laugh at the leglsla
ture.'
Mr.. Childs should not have
said this, because it is not true
so far as the law is concerned,
and if conditions are as he de-
scribes, it is not the fault Of the
law, but the fault of the citizens
in the communities where such
practices are carried on, posi-
bly,, with the sanction of many
who are advocating prohibition.
We have now and have had for
sometime a ''plain, common
sense, workable law in our stat
: utes" with easy machinery for,
its operation: and yet, such men
as Mr.. Childs call for more law.
What is the use to enact laws if
the people protesting interest
will not act upon them9 What
is more plain, common sense and
workable than the statutes de-
claring, "All places where per.

WE SHALL SEE.

The currency bill after a long
siege of tinkering and debate,
has at last become the law OF
the land, but whether the calam.
ity howlers will be able to say
later on Il told you so" remains
to be seen. We doubt very
much if the average reader un-
derstands the N easure. we are
certain we do not, but hav.
ing faith in the wisdom and sin
cerity of those who are in gov
ernment control, we must think
the reforms proposed by this
piece Of legislation will result
in preventing panics in the
future, and bring about a safer
feeling among those who have
money to invest. The changes
may remove many serious handi
caps which have been steadily
increasing under the methods
heretofore, and while the gen
eral public will not be able tc
distinguish the difference, those
who make finance a study, ano
furnish the necessary money tc
do business, may be able tc
cheaper the cost Of money and
encourage renewed activity in
building and developing enter
prises that furnish employment
for the many.
