on information which may nave been
furnished for the express purpose of
reating an erroneous impression as
to the amount of cotton held by mills.
Statistics are dangerous cnings to
play with, and statements based on
statistics without furnishing the pub
&c the opportunity of analyzing these
statements may be deadly dangerous
> r:iblic welfare.
IF the information was furnished
oy the Federal Reserve Board agents
in New England, it is entirely con-
ceivable that these agents, Influenced
by the constant efforts OF many New
England mills to break down the
price of cotton, might have oeen bias
ed by that feeling and without ade-
?uate investigation as to how "many'
mil: we're supplied with cotton.
If this information was furnish
ed by the mills direct, we insist that
the Federal Reserve Board had no
right to publish such statement
without specifically announcing that
the statements were based on infor-
nation furnished by New England
corporations and the number definite
ly specified which claimed to have an
ample supply of cotton for the bal
ance of the year.
Mr.. Harding's telegram has not
thrown any light whatever upon the
situation. It only serves the more
strongly to emphasize the seriousness
of the blunder which was made by
the Federal Reserve BoarG when it
pu: forth the statement Of many
New England mills reporting supplies
of raw cotton sufficient to last until
next year" without any facts on
which the public could judge as to
the correctness of these reports. If
this is a fair sample of the value of
the reports issued by the Federal Re-
serve Board, then the sooner its re-
ports are discontinued or put on a
sounder basis the better for the
country

in order to allow women to vote IN
the general election in November
according to an opinion of Attorney
General Wolfe rendered yesterday
response to an inquiry from Cover
nor Cooper. "The amendment (An-
thony) will be adequate in iteslf to
confer the right without the necessi-
ty of an enabling act" says the at
torney general in his opinion.
"The amendment when ratified
and duly so declared by the proper
authorities will have the effect of
simply eliminating from section g.,
article 2 of the South Carolina con-
stitution the word male and so en-
larging the right of suffrage under
our constitutional and statutory
law as to include all citizen possess
ing the requisite qualifications, ire
spective of sex" the opinion con-
t:nues.
What action will be taken with
regard to the primaries to be held
this month is still problematical.
1t has been held by some that it
will be necessary to call a Demo-
cratic convention in order to open
the books of enrolment, thus per-
mitting women to vote in the pri-
maries. Others take the view, that
the time for closing the Democratic
club rolls has already arrived and
passed. The question of whether or
not an amendment to the election
laws of this state would be neces-
sary in case another state ratified
the Anthony amendment was raised
some time ago by Thomas P. Goth
ran, chairman of the state Demo-
cratic convention in a Letter to Gov
ernor Cooper.
Mr.. Wolfe's opinion directed to
Governor Cooper is as follows:
"Der Sir:
Replying to your inquiry rela-
tive to the necessity for calling
special session of the general as
sembly for the purpose of obviating
any danger of the invalidity of our
election laws, or hazard : to our
electoral vote in the event of rati-
fication of the 10th amendment to
the federal constitution. l advise
that under the authority of Neal
VS.. Delaware, 103 u. S., 3s9; Ex
Parte Yarbrough ITO U. S., 651;
and Quinn and Beal VS.. United
States, 23s U. S., 347, the proposed
amendment, when ratified and duly
so declared by the proper authority
will have had the effect of simply
eliminating from section 8, article
2 of the South Carolina constitution
and statutory law as to include all
itizens possessing the requisite
qualifications, irrespective of sex.
Under the above cited authorities
the amendment will be adequate in
itself to oonfer the right without
the necessity of an enabling act.
Proper provision of course must
be afforded for registration. This
can be done by such means as ap-
pears most eXpedient in the cir
cumstances."

COTTON AND COTTON FABRICS

The following from the weekly
review of the New York Times will
be of interest:
Aside from the fluctuations in
the quotations of cotton shown daily
in the reports of the exchanges, and
based on reports of weather condi-
tions in one section or another,
there is one outstanding fact which
initiates against any permanent in
crease in price. This is the practical
certainty of fairly large. crop,
combined with a carry-over suffl-
cient to more than provide for the
worlds probable needs for the year
to come. Loud outcries followed the
statement of Secretary Hester, of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
that the carry-over was 100000
bales, and a lot of efforts have
been made to try to whittle this
down. But 70 one contends that
there will be less than 100000
bales, and this, with the probability
of about 100000 bales Of the
new crop, will give more than ample
supplies for all heads. This is es-
pecially true since the indications of
a lessened demand from abroad
The seriousness of the situation
from the standpoint of those who
are trying to keep up price levels is
apparent from a hurry call for a.
sent out to members Of the
Southern Cotton Association to
take steps to conserve their inter,
ests. Curtatlment cf output by the
mills is not helping matters any,
ard spinners are determined to get
their raw material at as low prize
as possible in order to meet the pub
lie demand for cheaper cotton
goods. During the last week the
goods market has been comparative
ly stagnant. Most of the offers
which have been made for goods in
the gray have beer below the cost
Ct production. The mills are showing
disposition to let 60 fabrics on the
basis of about 80 cents a pound, ss
against the S1.30 or so which they
were demanding ninety days ago.
Bleached and printed fabrics share
this kind of weakness, and most
goods are unstable in any but small
lots. Despite curtailments at the
mills there does not seem to be any
lack of spot goods to be had, nor is
there any great sticking as to price
j. customer with cash comes
along. Knit goods and hosiery man.
ufacturers are still marking time,
very much undecided as to how and
when to proceed.
