Hon. E. J. Justice. Justly ranked among the straightforward and clean lawyers of North Carolina, one not to be accused-of peculation, but who has been slandered and abused "with out cause by the industrious enemies of the interests of the State in he railroad litigation, makes the matter of his expense account of 1250 so clear and clean that even his most muer political enemies. If they have ny true lntincts. should take off th,eir hats to him and say "Mr. Justice, jrwe have been in error, we see our mis take, and we apologize." il But will they do It, or will tHey continue their unjust villiflcatlon and abase? Ij Mr. Justice, as one of the counsel for the State in the railroad rate litigation, retained by Governor Glepn, In company with ex-Governor C. B. Aycock. to defend the interests ijof North Carolina when Judge Pritjjh- ard had enjoined the Attorney Gen eral of the State, the Corporation Com mission and the counsel it had Re tained, thus tying their hands so that In defending; the State and protecting Its interest s Governor Glenn had to do under his oath, and because he; is a manly rnan,' incurred expenses for a number of trips to Raleigh, to Win ston,, to New York and to Washing ton, spending nearly a week at some of these places, and rendered a $111 of 125 for expenses In the rate case. By an error, which Is regretted by the Raleigh correspondent who sent It out, and who has written a correction fj to his papers, the amount of $250 dravn by Mr. Justice for expenses was stated to be for one week In Washington, when In reality it was for many places .and many weeks, as Mr. Justice makes plain; and as was known by Governor Glenn when he allowed the expense account. '- - - I Mr. Justice "ha sent to the Auditor of State an Itemized bill of his ex penses, lowing that ne?e are flOijln excess of the $256 received. In view of this the Doodlers News of Greens boro, which has been outrageous in Its comments upon what Is shown jj to have been an error by its own corre spondent is due him an apology, as Is due also ftpm $h "m tooV of the railroad- organs which In their desper ate attempts-ie aid the Southern Rail way's subsidising methods, enter Into a chorus of barks against Mr. Justice and howl mightily over matters con cerning the falsity of which they could rr if V "'V.

That he had already spent of his own money 1207 and. therefore only $43 was on account of expenses yet to be Incurred, and an amount more than enough to make up the full $250 was Incurred on his next trip to Washing ton which he made on September 5th, and gives the following Itemized state ment of the expense account: July isRailroad trip to Ral eigh ' and expenses while there at the time the case of State vs. Green was tried . . $ Trip to- Raleigh and expenses while there in conference with Governor Trip to Winston and expenses while there to confer with Judge Moore and Solicitor Graves July 24 Expense of trip to Raleigh to confer with Gov ernor and Mr. Sanford ....

The point that makes Mr. Birth's career of special Interest to North Car olinians is the fact that In the early 40's he was employed at Raleigh as the superintendent of stone and mar ble structure on our State House. Lat er he Was engaa m nunciug iui railroads in North Carolina. He evidently drank deeply of the well In Canltol Square. Every one who drinks that water wishes to re turn to Raleigh and It adds to length of days. ' X)UlTVIUTK "DRUNKS." A. J. Buston, of Liverpool, ths well known crop expert has made public his estimate. His report follows: "In estimating this crop at 12,000, 000 maximum. I feel very confident that I am on the high side, but wish to be very conservative. There are abundant signs of a crop disaster in Texas as my dally notes show. Octo ber 15, cattle turned into many fields, farmers plowing up cotton fields, something I have never seen before at this season of the year. October 16, crop very poor, picking nearly completed, gins in many places not running and will only run one day a week. Boll weevil has done enor mous damake. Louisiana, Texas, Ar kansas yield of oil smallest on record since 189&-1900. ; "The crop which was a month later tharn last year, is now ahead of last season, being forced to maturity by the extreme hot weather in August without moisture, causing the bolls to contain very much less lint than in ordinar years. "On my return yesterday through the Atlantic States. I noted that the frost had killed a vast quantity of fields. " - "Georgia Crop looking very well, fields well cultivated, and much cot ton open Bolls are not, however, as large as usual. Little or no to crop and total absence of blooms. Grade good and the State -should make considerable increase over last Rea son. "Alabaman-Plant very much small er than last "year, and the stands very irregular. The average number of bolls to the stalk are also much less than previous seasons. It appears that, owing to bad weather in the spring, the farmers were unable to -lean and work the fields and much replanting was done. This was fol lowed bv very hot weather In August. which forced the plant to maturity and produced smaller bolls which con tained only a small amount of lint. No blooms. "Arkansas The crop has suffered very considerably by the bad start, the plant being small and stands poor. Coupled with this, the high temper atures of August and the plant hav ing no tap root, caused it to shed bad ly. Bolls small and the staple very mixed. "Tennessee Reports from the state lead me to believe it will make an average yield., "Indian Territory The crop here Is a good one, and while It ls claimed by many that the crop is much worse than last year, I confess I failed to see it, and believe It will make as much cotton as last year. "Oklahoma The plant in some sec tions is small, but well fruited, and while not equal to last year, with the Increased acreage, should give us a yield equal to last season. "Texas The crop throughout the state is poor. In some districts a t-tal failure. Plants look green and healthy, but contain very few bolls. The only reason I can give for this is that, owing to the cold spring, the seed did not germinate, and the fields had to be replanted three or four times. In July it looked as If the i-crop was recovering, and going to make an average crop, but the ex ceedingly high temperatures in August, accompanied with very dry weather, forced the plant to matur ity, and did not give the bolls time to fully mature and produce the average amount of Unt. The lateness of the crop in north Texas, where it was fully expected in August they would make a good crop, laid It open to the ravages of the boll weevil, which has caused such disaster that; had I not seen it, I would not have believed it "Louisiana The plant green with good stalk and to a casual observer would look like a good yield, but on careful examination I found the plants contained very few boils, mostly on th bottom of the plant, the middle crop being taken by the boll weevil, a most extraordinary contrast to last year, when the fields were white with cotton. On cutting open a large num ber of bolls, I found they were punc tured by the weevil, and the lint was destroyed. This state will make the shortest crop In years. "Mississippi The crop very spotted, ! some good fields, but some very poor. I Plant smaller than previous seasons and bolls small. Much cotton open, having been forced to maturity by heat and long spell of dry weather. "North Carolina The crop on the light lands fairly good, plant small and moderately well fruited. On the heavy lands crop is worse than last year, bolls small and not containing so much lint. Picking being pushed forward. Frost would do little or no damage, as no top crop and no blooms. Should make as much cotton as last year, owing to the increase in acre age Grade good. "South Carolina The crop looked well. A large amount of cotton open !n the fields, and with favorable pick ing weather should make an Increase of $200,000 bales over last year. Bolls were of medium slse, but no prospects of a top crop. Frost would do little damage except to a' few lute fields. No blooms." i probable change In crop Ideas. It now seems probable that the yield this rear will not reach the requirements of the spinner." The receipts at the porta are running light, just about two-thirds of last year's receipts.! And yet. owing to the speculative manipulation of cotton futures, aided by the gambler's panics in New York and by those farmers who foolishly sold cotton ahead, cot ton is lower than It has been for more than a year. The i Secretary of the Treasury s&w fit to deposit $30,000,000 of the public funds in one day in New York to relieve the money market from a gambler's panic In stocks. When Representative Burleson, of Texas, tried to have $10,000,000 of the public funds deposited 'in the South ern national banks to aid the fanners In their struggle to keep from sacri ficing their cotton he. met with a re buff. Already we are told that "the trade is looking for a further decline upon the idea that the depression in financial circles will compel the hold ers of cottoa In the South to press their cotton on the market for sale." Heretofore, we have been told that there was plenty of money, but the 'collats were scarce. Now we have gold dust security in the shape of cot ton warehouse certificates, and the cry is 'tight money.' or 'no money.' It is a very serious situation, it calls for cool heads and clear thinking and plain speaking and vigorous action. Let bankers and business men do their utmost to relieve the situation. Let the Southern press; speak out on this vital question. Let our Senators and Representatives in ; Congress bring to the attention of the nation this lack of money to do the legitimate business of the country and bring about the need ed relief. Representative Burleson truly saj-s: "If the cotton producer is forced to sell his. cotton because the banks will no longer lend him money, and for the purpose of bringing for eign money into the country for the relief of the stock market, it will mean that the crop will be sold for about $160,000,000 below what it should bring, and that the advantage of this forced sale will accrue to the foreign purchaser, and that much money which should come to this country go ing into the pockets of the farmer will be held abroad.' Mr. Editor, the chances are 99 in a 100 in favor of the farmers winning this fight if they can borrow a reasonable amount of money on cotton warehouse receipts. If this cannot be done, then something 13 radically wrong." Prescription Comnoundin! Is the most Important work we ' CK We take a great deal of pains to do it right.

BRING US THE NEXT Omi Cuiii-Crowei Brig Co. :: T H n RE X A L L G TORE :: The Southerner never takes any stock In the opinions expressed by Theodore Price on cotton, believing that they are uttered for a selfish pur pose. Being a "bear" he has given out figures to show a large crop. He pre dicts that the cotton crop will be 18, 600,000 bales. C. H. Jenkins, of Brownwood, Texas, In the Houston Post, says the farmers can win the fight If theystand firm and hold their cotton until the December ginners re port is made public: Tarboro South 3Ianufactured Cotton. It is not at all strange that . the present financial situation is making itself felt to a certain extent in the cotton goods market. Indeed. It would be surprising if such were not the case. The general feeling, however.: is one of optimism and the larger fac tors hold firmly to the opinion that there is no cause for actual alarm. It is admitted on all sides that the mar ket has been in general dull, and be yond a doubt the present stringency of money has considerable to do with it. In spite of this, not a little encour agement is to be gained from the fact that prices are holding firm in some sections, even if buying is inactive. That means that the moral tone of. the market is practically just as good as ever, and that is saying a good deal under losses promise to be taken without any serious disturbance to the general market, and both spinners and dealers will even up the year In pretty goo a shape. There is no doubt but what there Is a big demand for every pound of this year's cotton crop, and that at a gooa price. Knowing this, does It not seem the part of folly to sell at the ab normally low rate prevailing Just now which rate was fixed by a few rimo lers who don't know a cotton stalk from a Jimson weed? Every farmer should hold if he must make a sacri fice to do so. This is the hardest test that Is likely to come, and the action of the grower-, now means everything. Charlotte News. Yield 11,000,000 Bales. "The report came from abroad that Mr. Buston's estimate of the crop would be in the neighborhood of 11,- 000,000 in fact. It Is the rule now. rather than the exception, these re duced crop estimates. We still adhere to our opinion so often expressed that this eyar s yield will be under 11,000,- 000 bales. The India crop, according to our East India advices. Is 1,100,000 bales short and that of Russia 200,000 bales shcrt. Where the mills are to get the cotton to keep their spindles busy we fall to see. "The contention is, high money rates will prevent an advance In prices; look at December contracts 40 points premium over forward deliveries when money was loaning at 100 per cent, then at March contracts at the dis count, at which time money will likely rule around 2 1-2 to X per cent., then figure the possibilities for prices with spinners as well 'as bears and inves tors falling over eacn other to buy cotton." Carpenter, Baggot & Co. Buston says 12.000.000 maximum and Cowan sayS 12,000.000 minimum, so it seems to be only a difference be tween maximum and minimum. of Memphis, Charles C.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed; to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary dis orders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will be comforting words to hundreds of Raleigh readers. Miss Sallie A. Clements. Vicksburg, Warren county, N. C. writes; "t had such terrible pains through my shoul ders, back and loins that I oould not sleep at night and could not He on my right side at all. I was unable to wortc.

Buffalo, agents for the United j name- Doan's and gentlemen of the New York Cotton Exchange?' Ot last the latent manhood of the South has been aroused, and now there are two powerful, organiza tions fighting in behalf of the farmers the Southern Cotton Association and the Farmers' Union. These 'organiza tions have fixed upon 16c. as a fair and reasonable price for cotton. I maintain that the price is fair and reasonable, and that the farmers will win out if they can get the proper financial backing. The power and In herent strength of the cotton growers was fully demonstrated in the memor able campaign of 190S. and they are much stronger and better organized today, j The New York Journal of Commerce, October 19. 19$ 7, says: "The cotton goods market has been advancing in price for over wo years, and the tremendous pressure for sup plies during 1905 and 1906 and well Into this year, has carried the general level of prices up to a point not reach ed In 45 years." Messrs. ; Hubbard Bros. & Co. in their circular letter Oc tober 22. 1907, says: "Spinners, while aware of the holding movement, are annoyed over the continued light re ceipts in the Southwest; in fact, the accounts from the Texas crop grow worse daily. Mr. Ellison's estimate of the consumption of cotton for 1907-08 is 12,500,000 bales, which we believe to be small in view of the poor re ports coming from the India cotton crop. Thus we have light receipts and by the end of the week the smallest visible supply of American gotton for the last five years, together with, an Increased demand from spinners and ton, New York and Philadelphia, which are not alone responsible for the presj ent disordered state of the market, but which will be a menace for the future until they are all cleaned up. When the new crop cotton Is In free usfti there will be three distinct grades of the same count of yarn, and at least two prices. First, we will have the old crop yarns, which, on account of, the poor quality of the cotton, will be! in the weakest demand by weavers,! but which will be pushed forward by holders on account of the loss that lies in them on account of their purchase at high prices. Then there will be the yarns made up of part old cotton which is in spinners' hands and part new cotton, and these yarns will be a little better than the stocks made up from the old crop cotton. Finally there will be the new crop yarns and this latter class will be what all the weavers and knitters will be looking for, and they will be worth a cent or two a pound more than any other grade offered. There can be no question of the ne cessity for a readjustment of the cot ton yarn market, and the necessary beginning is at the raw material end, where false values have been main tained for two months or more. This readjustment would have followed in the course of events without any re markable disturbance, but for the speculative yarns on hand, bought at fancy prices. Tbese stocks forced a change wrong end to, and brought about a price cutting that has removed all uniformity in price, and trading is now carried on without regard for a price scale, the only thought of the seller being to rid himself of his load. In normal times this state of affairs would be of short duration, as the bargains offered are unusually attrac tive, and ownership of the stocks would have been promptly changed If general manufacturing conditions had oeen brighter As it is. the regular purchasers are themselves sellers as the fear of the need of ready money has driven most of the courage out of them. With all the troubles and imaginary dangers, the cotton manufacturing in dustry is strong and sound as could be desired. With all the accumula tions at trading centres, there has not yet been a whisper of any holder of importance being forced to sell on account of a call of loans or a failure to secure reasonable amounts of ready money to : carry on business, so that -i t We Cm Fif Th ff U7J7 In the Famous n fir mm 7T m m "CORRECT CLOTHES to GENTLEMEN" Peculiarities of also and shape need not debar any man from th satisfactloa of styliah. perfect-fitting ekithes, , all rrdy-to-put-on."
