Just a few days ago, I had the
>pleasure of discussing this situation
with a prominent manufacturer and
banker of Newberry county, who had
lust returned from the East. You
speak of the beansh attitude of the
cotton manufacturer, while this man
ufacturer info1med me that the cot
ton mill officials are as interested IN
the advance of cotton as any other
business men. The cotton mills tc-
day are making goods out Of cotton
that cost them 80 cents a pound and
above. Every bale Of cloth they sell
at the, present time is sold at loss.
and as the Eastern bankers are not
! ir taYor of loaning the South rn man
ufacturer money for speculation, THAI
Is the holding of the goods for future
high prices, every day the mills oper-
ate. they are losing money, provided
they are not fortunate enough to have
enough money to hold their goods for
! higher prices.
It seems that the Eastern bankers
think that every line of business that
was enabled to make vast profits On
account of the way should now liqui-
date and take their losses instead
OF retiring their outputs until prices
advance, thereby creating a depres-
sion in all lines Of business. They
even think the Southern farmer
: should sell his cotton, and take his
losses. because Of the fight made on
price-6xing through the Southern
: representatives in congress, as we'll
as because the Southern farmer had
a chance to sell his cotton above 80
cents. Conditions were not favorable
to the local farmer, as the majority
.of his. crop was not marketable, when
high prices we're obtainable.
Every line of business In the South
is i'm full accord with the holding and
acreage reduction movement, and IS
cooperating with the farmer to. the
fullest extent The fight is practical
" won, and six months from now, the
South will have more money than it
has ever had. The Southern banker
ds really doing more to make the
holding movement success, and de:
SERVES more credit than any other
business, but every business can CO.
operate with the banker in conserv-
ing credit, thereby doing its "bit."
THIS is the substance of the inform
alton gained from one of Newberry
county's leading manufacturers ard
bankers, and 1 feel sure you will be
glad that you were mistaken as 70
the attitude of the cotton manufac-
turer, and will be glad to know that
he is also interested in the advance
and not decline Of the price of cct-
ton.
Yours very truly,

F0RNER JEOPARDY PLEA RESULTS
INN07 GII|LT.YVERD|CT FOR BRACEY

from David McGary by false prctense
Tho Howe Mining company opened oA-
fees in Wheeling in the year 1914 ana
sold considerable stock in this local.
t.. McGary invested approximately
SIS. 900 in tho company. Later. bccoHl-
ing dissatisfied. he demanded that
Bracey buy his stock, claiming that the
latter had uisrcpresenteG tho PROPOSE
ton to him. McGary demanded, how
ever. considerably more for the STOCK
than he had paid for it, which Braccy
refused to pay. McGary then Instituted
criminal proceedings against Bracey.
Bracey was indicted On the cnarGc
Of obtaining money from McGary by
false pretence and convicted. On
habeas corpus proceeding instituted in
= higher court an opinion was secured
reversing the judgment Of the criminal
court, on the ground that three terms
of court had passed without the de-
PENDANT having been brought to trial
and through no fault Of the defendant.
Technically Braccy occupied tbs same
position as one who has been tried by
jury and found not guilty.
\ second indictment was secured
against Braccy by counsel for the state
and he was again arrested, this tims at
, his home in Baltimore. acquisitions
>
West Virginia were secured only alter
hard legal battle and Bracey was
brought back TO Wheeling and required
10 furnish heavy bail.
, The case. after having passed two
terms Of court. was called last Wedncs-
day. Counsel for the defense at that
| timo entered a special plea in support
of Il motion 10 quash. alleging former
jeopardy. That plea wns held to be
good by the court yesterday as the
trial was nearing the end and n YER
dict of not guilty was accordingly oA-
rcctcd.
Tho Bracey case. from beginning TO
end. probably cost the county between
eight and ten thousand dollars. and the
! defendant fully three times that much,
At the first trial Prosecuting attorney
