JOS. T. JOHNSON
ON COTTON INDUSTRY
Points (Mit the Reason of Poor Condi
tion el' Cotton Industry In tlie South.
Washington, Aug. 23.?Joseph Trav
is Johnson represents the Fourth
South Carolina district In the lower
house of congress. Ife has heen in j
harness since the Fifty-seventh con
gress and he has learned a great deal
since he eaine here. He is now a
ineinebr of the committee on appro
priat ions.
If there Is one thing that the South
Carolina representative knows more
about than anything else, it Is the
question of cotton production and its
manufaucture, From the Piedmont
district of South Carolina where the
fleecy staple is not only grown lux
uriantly, luit where the smoke from
a hundred mills may be easily seen,
he is thoroughly familiar with all
that pertains to the welfare of the
giower and the manufacturer.
Must Break Away.
In a few words. Mr. Johnson be
lieves that the cotton people will
never secure entire Independence un
til they break away from the strong
grasp of the trusts which now hold
them.
"What our people need." Mr. John
son said today, "is not a change in
the present tariff laws or. in fact, a
change In laws of any kind; but a
more businesslike insigln into the
whole question. There are a few sim
ple propositions which strongly ap
peal to me. Take, for instance, the
building of cotton mills in the South.
What do we find? The New England
machinery makers subscribe for a
certain proportion of the capital stock
of the mills. Then what? They do not
pay money. They put in their ma
chinery at a big profit, take so many
shares in payment therefor, and then,
because (hey have already made a tre
mendous profit on their machinery
they are able to unload their stock at
less than par. Any one with a thim
bleful of sense can sei what the effect
of this is to the owners of the stock
who have paid real money lor it. That
is one thing. Now. what el so? Un
doubtedly tin- manufacturers of cotton
goods in the South are losing thous
ands of dollors every year because they
will submit to blindly follow the old
plan of selling their product through
the middlemen In the largo cities of
the Fast. What is the effect of this?
I Simply this: The maker of the goods
pays enormous amounts In tho form of
commissions to the concern In Boston
or New York for selling his goods,
while he has absolutely no idea where
his products go. Is this good busi
ness? is it good business policy for
any man. whether he Is a farmer, mer
chant, manufacturer, or one engaged
in any other line of business, to have
only one customer? That is exactly
the situation which confronts our cot
ton manufacturers today.
Cut Out Middleman.
"Such men as Parker. Smyth.
August W. Smith, and other well
known in the cotton trade of South
Carolina, would undoubtedly largely
increase both their sales and profits
if they would ngree to cut out the
Kastern middleman and find custom
ers among the people who actually
use the goods. 1 know it to be a
fact today that many large concern
have no idea where the stuff they
buy and sell conies from. Now. if
one of these gentlemen would simply
lind out win. their customers are anil
go to them and show what they
make, what an enormous amount of
money would be snVed. There are
concerns in the East which today nro
not manufacturing goods but buying
those made in the South and Illilshl
them at their plant becnuse they can
buy our products cllOftpcr than f!
can manufacture thorn, And y 1
Southern mills tire pot prosporoti . !
there not a lesson in this Wo do liol

CONDITION OF CHOPS.
Mr. Jarcd D. Sullivan has sent in
to this office a letter appertaining to
the condition of the crops in this sec
tion. Mr. Sullivan finds that the pros
pects a' o very discouraging, both as to
cotton and to corn. The following is
Mr. Sullivan's letter:
As there have been so many repents
of bumper cotton crops, even to the
first report said to have been gotten
out by the Washington otllce without
the knowledge of Secretary Wilson, j
I think it only right to now give a
statement of the tacts regarding the
crop condition as seen by mo and from
information gathered from others.
The best yield of coin will not ex
ceed three fifths, the balance not more
than one third and the cotton crop. 1
couldn't s?J for certain, will not be
as many bales as last year. For the
last week there has been a wonderful
deterorntion, on account of the drougth
The oldest cotton has about quit
blooming and is turning yellow. The
younger cotton has commenced to put
its young fruit In the middle. I can't
see any signs for a bumper crop, I
look for li\ing for another year to be
very high The fact is I have seen
very little normal crops this year. This
has been the dryest year that I have
ever seen. All observing people can
hear me out in that statement.
Hut let us think. Wlyit have we
been getting out of our gardens and
what poor prospects we have for fall
gardens. The agricultural papers are
telling us of the advance of two and
three cents a pound on beef on account
of the dry weather In the South This
shows, in itself, that the season has
been exceptionally dry and that oth
ers besides the cotton growers are he
ilig affected
We can see on tho countenances of
men n depression and gloom on ac
count of the crops they know they j
will harvest. We ought to bo careful
and not put our cotton on the market
too fast.
