There was a big fire on thc
?water Iront at Wilmington Satur
day. Tho losses wore estimated
at $100,000. Tho Germania hall
?nd a number of surrouadiug buil
dings were destroyed. It is not
known exactly bow tho fire star
ted. A nunibor ot people were
thrown out of employment by the
loss of tho iactorios.
Fight Against Farmers By Combine.
Harvio Jordan says "Spinners"
and "speculators" aro making
a desperate fight.
In a statement, given ont Satur
day, President Harvio Jordan, of
tho Soutboi n Cotton association,
culls attention to tho combine ot
speculators, spinners and others
tnat hns boon formed against the
farmers of tho south to dopresa
tho price of cotton.
Ho pays that despite this de
cline of tho n\w product tho fin
ished fabrics still hold n high
price. Commenting on this Pros
ido nt Jordan says:
"Novor in the history of cottou
production have organized forces
combined to break tho efforts of
tho south to maintain tho price
of her great staple, as has been
the onso during tho past three
months. The spinning world
now admits that tho south has at
hiBt wakened to a realization ol
tho immense monopoly which is
within her grasp. To defeat tho
will of the people, divert their
attention from tho truo situation
and to continuo to harass and sub
ject thom to the dominating in
fluences of foreign control is the
true secret of tho present tremen
dous fight that is being so persis
tently m ado agaiust tho price o?
the staple. Spinners, cotton buy
ers, bearish speculator, somo
wholesale jobbers in cotton goods
and other interests have organ
ized largely under tho leadership
of Theodore Price, of New York,
and osBOciutcs to depress tho price
of spot cotton without injury to
the prion of oof ton rm^Ac AH

' "Tlx- coi ,ri
.. ^v..o U..I1IAUU worm
seems to bo combined to depress
and to shacklo in tho bondage of
slavery and serfdom. Tho man
who boldly stands out for tho cot
ton growers becomes at once tho
genoral target for abuse and ad
verso criticism from the world of
centralized capital and industrial
activity. The man who would
try to depress tho price of any
farm product below its true val
ue, especially cotton, which is so
largely exported, cannot claim to
bo a patriotic American, but is
simply an individual playing for
a selfish gain at tho expenso of
the wealth producers of tho coun
try. Spot cotton is today thc
cheapest American commodity on
the market and tho entire south
should stand loyally together as
ono man to defend this staple
from the ravishing raids of out
wit; rs and foreigners.
"Tho balance of the unsold por
tion of tho present short crop,
which will not exceed 1,250,000
bales, is worth at the lowest esti
". jmato 15c per pound on its intrin
sic merits. Such a price for tho
balance would not average tho
vriiolo crop at a prico exceeding
ll 3-4 cents to tho farmers; andi
have repeatedly challenged the
spinners to show by facts and
figures Oh the cost of manufacture
and selling price of tho finished
fabric wherein their investments
would bo injured. By their silence
thoy admit my contention to be
correct and every spot holder in
tho south should stand firm for
15 cents and force a square doal."
State Fair Ono Week.
At a meeting of tho State Agri
cultural Society last week in Col
umbia it was decided to open the
next State Fair on Monday and
run tho full week. Tho Fair will
begin October 22(1 this year. Now
let the Railroads do tho right
thing and give tho public a low
rate.
A Valuablo Salvo.
Wo have used this for 18 years
with tho best results, and havo
clued old sores with it when they
were thought to bo incurable.
Take equal parts, beeswax, resin,
mutton tallow, and sweet oil.
Molt together and when cool add
1 tablespoonful strong camphor.
Spread on muslin cloth and apply.

''Spinners and Price
Are Bearing the Market*
lu a stirring address President M. h.
Johnson, of tho (J corgis division, South
cm Cotton Association, ar^os tho farmers
to uland Iii tn and hold thoir cotton. Ho
deolares thero is no oauso for unoasinoss
or alarm, for tho price of cotton is bound
to roaot. Ilia address is good roudieg :
Tu tho Fur mo nt, Hankers and M or
phants of Goorgia-Tho cotton markot
.just now prosonts tho most unusual aspect
For somo limo thoro ha? boon an utmost
daily dcolino. Who and wbat aro oaus
ing it? Tboro is no doubt in my mind
that Thoodoro Piioo and other Wars,
baokod by tho combined capital of foroixn
and New England spinnors aro doing tbo
"bearing," and will continuo to do it KO
long as it in within thoir powor.
"It is said tho south bogan to buy fu
turo cootraot8 hoi ow, about and abovo tho
tho presont markot, Thier objoot then
is to skako those people out aud Gil their 1
pookot8 with tho other fellow's money
Price, of courso. would liko to \nako baok
that $40,000,000 ho is Biiid io have lost
last Henson,
"It tho scoond plaeo thoy aro trying to
acaro as many of tho spot holders as they
can and mako them turn loose in ardor lo
supply tho spinners with spot colton.
Tliis, of courso, is tho spinnors who uro
backing tho boars iu their efforts to forco
down tho markot.
This declino in tho niarkqt is oxtrouioly
peculiar, especially in view of tho fact
that tho statistical position of cotton hus
not changed lt in ns strong today as it
was when, porno months MUCO, Prioo mudo
bis colobratod bullish statement that IO,
500,000 bales was worth 15 cents, and
11.000.000 bales and a fraotion was worth
12 1*2 cents.
It is a faot known lo us all that tho
present crop will not roacfi 10.500,000
bales of 500 pounds. lt is further true
thot moro than ono-half of this crop bas
been bought and bas goHO, and is goinx
to tho animier for eveu less than ll cents
average price.
"Is it not further true that ibo foreign
and No? England spinner hud rather soe
tbo Sotbcrn Colton Association fail in its
offortstbau to bavo almost anything oise
happen which bo could imagine ? Did
ibis spinner co oporato with you for 1 lot.
colton ; bas bo over oo-oporaicd with you
for fair and living prices? No, and bo
never will. Ho will fight you to thc
bitter end, for lie wants your cotton nt us
small a prico as bo can make you take,
Combining with Prico and bis associates
ho will boar your product and force you,
if ho can, to take starvation prices lor it
Tho report bas como to mc that somo
holders of spot ootton arc getting norvous
oven frightened- Who and what aro they
afraid of? Whoso cotton is it ? Does it
bclone toJPrico, that you have to sell it
ut his bidding? Surely ibero is not a mau
in thc South today, banker, inorcbant ol
in auy other lino who would sell or Ibice
any oilier man to sell bis cotton under
exisiiug circumstances" Surely every
drop ol" coutborn blood will revolt nt the
thought of obedience to tho lash of Tbo
odorc Prico, and if ho bas not boon with
us beforo suroly every man will now join
?(ho Sou.horn cotton association in its
batttla for our rights.
No matter bow muob you may have
disagreed with tho 15o proposition wbich
was fixed by (bo g^roat convention at Now
Orlcaus, and ratified and confirmed by

and Kingdoms pass away, but I
will praise Him and tell to the

He that dwellcth in thc secret
place of the Most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty.
Tlie Lord is my refuge, in Him
alone T trust.
I was converted to Christ in
1875, and was sanctified in 1800,
and I have not found any fault yet
in traveling on this way. Christ's
way is the straight way and 1 am
going on. I mean to hold out and
by faith to reach the Heavenly
City and sec the Savior that I ara
working for now. Yes, I will wear
thc crown some day.
I have been a soldier about ?30
years, and I mean to fight until the
war is ended. J have no fear, for
Christ is the Captain and has never
lost a battle. I wish every sinner
would nome to him and be saved,
for there is room for every one that
will come and enlist in this chris

Condition Powders
Makes poor horses and mules fat without bloating. It
does this by first thoroughly cleansing: the system bf
all impurities, allowing perfect assimilation of food,
thereby creating solid muscle and fat.
Horses and mules improve in appetite and spirits
after thc first few doses, the hair sheds, and the new
coat is always sleek and glossy.
Aslicraft's Condition Powders are packed in doses,
without "filler," and good for horses and mules only.
It is a most powerful tonic and appetizer, being the
formulas of a practical veterinarian of over a quarter of a century's
experience. It is easily the foremost remedy in its class on tho
American market to-day. Price 25 cents package.
