President Hiss Complains of
Cotton Manipulators.
HE OFFERS A REMEDY
Seventh Annual Session ofthe Southern
Cotlon Spinners' AssociitUor* at
Charlotte?Other Addresses
of Importance.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
CHARLOTTE?, N. C. May 14.-Ono of
tho Important features of to-day's ses?
sion of the Southern Cotton Spinners'
Association was the statement made by
President Hiss that ho favored Curtail?
ment In order to cope with tbo profes?
sional manipulators of the cotton market.
Mr. Hiss stated th-t his Idea wns fur
the mills to run one week and stop the
noxt. In other words, tho mills would
run only half time during the flighty con?
dition of th? markot. It Is a well known
fact thnt cotton manufacturers cannot
pay those prices for cotton and continue
to sell yarns, or. In fact, any of their
products, at the prevailing prices. This
condition of affairs, Mr. Hiss said, is
squarely up to the cotton spinners and It
Is a condition that must be met. Mr.
JIlss said in part:
"During tho past two years manufac?
turers using American-grown cotton
have failed to secure a proper margin of
profit and it has beon during these ?_Bt
two years that cotlon "manipulators"
have held their greatest, sway. It Is
estimated that between 80,000,000 and 10n,
0,10,000 bales of cotton are bought ant
sold annually In this country while wo
actually produce an average of but
JO.000.000 bales annually. Is It not prob?
able that those manipulators have an un?
favorable bearing on profits of tho man?
ufacturers in this country using Amerl
o.in-gro>vn cotton?
"Except in a few special fabrics the
prlco the manipulators have lined for
cotton to-dny is out of all proportion to
the price the manufacturer can realize
for his product. Is thero not a remedy
for this situation? If the cotton mlnu
facturor could arrange to buy his year's
Fupply of raw stock by making his pur
oha.??" during the period covered from
September 1st to December 1st of each
yenr (as Is largely the case with our for?
eign competitor), there would be but
Blight opportunity for the manipulator
to Juggle a profit out "f lb? few hun?
dred thousand balee not taken - up by
these purchases/'
Another Important suggestion made by,
Mr. Hiss was that the association change
Its name from the Southern Cotton Spin?
ners' Association to tho American Cot?
ton Manufacturers' Association. It Is
generally believed that this change will
be mnde at the present meeting.
The seventh nnnunl session of tho con?
vention was called to order at 10:30
o'clock: this morning by President Hiss.
Prayer was offered by Dr. Dctwller, of
the Methodist Church, after which C. B.
Bryant, secretary and treasurer of the
association presente?l the body with a
gnvol made of wood from the first cot?
ton mill, built in 1812, In Georgm. The
address of welcome was delivered by
T. C. Guthrlo of the Charlotte bar nnd
the response was by W. C. Heath, one
of thn board of governors of the asso?
ciation. These were followed by the an?
nual address by President Hiss. A paper
read by General Vf. F. Draper, on "De?
velopment of Rapidly Running or Yield?
ing Bearing Spindles," was liberally ap?
plauded. Hon. Edward Atkinson was
tho next speaker. His subject was "Mu?
tual Fire Protection."
The convention adjourned for the day
at 5 o'clock this afternoon.

dents of the North Carolina College of
Agriculture and Meohanlo Arts have pub?
lished a beautiful volume as an annual,
called the "Agromeck." It ls one of th*
handsomest college publications ever seen
in this State, Tho fun and humor are
sprightly and free from coarseness. The
caricatures designed by Cadet J. A. Park,
of the Sophomore Class, would do crodlt
to a professional artist.
The book contains photographs of every
member of the faculty and ot every stu?
dent In college and of overy college build?
ing. It nlso contains the photographs of
eight Raleigh belles who have honored
tho battalion by serving as sponsors for
tho various companies. Miss Mary Hay

talion.
The clnss prophecy ls written In Imita?
tion of Poe's Raven. This and tho Agri?

well for the talent of the young men
