Sully, sticks to tils text with bulldog tenacity, like the "bull- he la. Price, low Price. htghT price, any price. but never ona price, with kittenish frtsklness, jump up and down. Wonderful to relate each one mar shals a formidable army of statistics proving his particular contention What, faith shall we place in the puerile efforts of the Department ot Agriculture,, or the petty work of the Cen us Department when we have such data as' that furnished by these ex perfeneed nd' JnfaUlbie gueaaera for our iguidanoe? Truly' none, if (he gov ernttienv ahau happen 'to varyt in its esthpates, from those, provided for out undoing by the eratWhile pravlnctil cotton peddler, and 'the once almoai annihilated autocrat f the New York cotton exchange, Both talk with assurance that reek Of i Infallibility, yet u. brief retrospect will destroy the standing of each ol them as "know-alls." . -.price went broke, and subsequently paid up like a man. Thus early this ae &oii hu haa been twice a beur and on a bull. Sully was conducting a campaign of education, but the otliei day and pleading with the bleating lambs to give him $7T0.000 to help tht poor rellow 'educate mem 10 tun, their cash hlsward, yet with red lettei circulars, fireworks and bluff the Idol could not squeeze the three quurtei mill from his dear friends, the farmers. He, too, reached the haven of unrest in the bankruptcy courts, where lie tht i emalns of others Just as foolish. He has not cleaned' his slate yet. Sully was shouting buy! buy!! buy!!! when cotton was above 10 '.' tenia, and JO days after that we heard of his being In St. Louis, where he was reported to have said that he wuh out of the cotton market forever. Hut to the "farmers' friend," a lit tit promise like that don't count. How tun a deposed yet Impeccable and sure oracle surrender the sweets of notoriety without at least one determined at tempt to regain his throne and sceptre V So with the friend of the poor, down trodden and , oppressed manufacturer, Price, the evanescent depressor ol values, broken on the wheel once, he recuperates. The two furbish up theii armor, and prepare lor battle. ICneased cap-a-pie with figures; with Ktatistics for a lance, and guises foi a Bhleid and buckler, they prepare to war on the farmer und on the spinner. But yesterday Price guessed 16.000,000 bales, Sully opines that less than W, 000,000 wll be about right to bank on. GREAT ARE STATISTICS. Let us see. Generally speaking, lurgre jcreage Is the most necessary requisite for a big crop. This Beason 32,000,000 acres are said to be planted. Then ul the highest net yield per acre for the past 17 years we can expeci h.ms, bales. Where des wice s n,uvu,wn. come from? At the lowest acre yield for 17 vears we can look for some 10,- 368,000 bales. Where does Sully get his less than 10,000,000? On the other hand a vlehl eaual to the average for 17 years will give us 12,344,000 bales, us look at the matter from an angle. The average yield per acre for i years has been Just about 193 pounds, and In 1894-95 the yield was also 193 pounds. The condition on September 1st In thut yaar was 85.9 against 84.1 this year. Then we may predict a crop of over 12,250,000 bales this season? Bui what do percerttages of condition amount to anyway? In 1901 the Sep tember condition was 71.4 and the yield was 188 pounds. In 1902 September con dition was 64.0 and yield was still 188 pounds. Then come two years almost exactly alike, 1888 September condi tion 68.5 yield 210 pounds, 1900 Septem ber condition 68.2 yield 211 pounds. Great are statistics. Revised estimates of acreage in past years show shortage in first estimates ranging irom wvt io 20 per cent., therefore we ought really tb have not 82,000,000 but 35,000,000 oi 39,000,000 acres under cotton. "You pays your money and you takes your choice."' Then the posibllities Indicate thaUjva .v.av ovnert n rrnn of either 12.WtWCI bales. i! j,, i It - all depends upon ment you look through telescope; Sully a mldraaci TKara Ira IVl hlr Conditio sldered. Rust, rain, heat, cdltd, hfekjof labor, boll worms, boll weevils, and all the evil family of parasites, early frosts, and a lot of other causes of deteriora tion, these are all good friends of Sully. Next comes big acreage, high percent age of condition, absolutely perfect weather, a late and open winter, Italian emigration, picking eotton by moon light, Paris green, London purple and the splendid "spinning qualities" of this crop, which will make ten mUUon "bear" bales go as far as twelve mil lion bales of Sully's kind of cotton. All these are-trusted alliea of Price In bam- boozing the other side. We hope tnis cairn, earnest aim serious research into conditions Is not misrepresenting our good friend, Mr. Theodora H. Price. At this writing his latest circular haa not come to hand, ih.fAra one cannot say on which side r.t th foni-o he will be this morning. Mr. Sully Is carrying out nis bi, nom promises, -trying to nejp m ' It Is nil very Interesting to the spin nor unit likewise amusing. in this time of tribulation, standing trembling before the mighty and most fierce king of the herd, tne piaini oi io m.nHfociurftr rises Diteously to his overlord.

In other words Recorder 1 Shannonhouse was not there. He Is taking a vacation and 'Squire Hilton presided In his ab sence, as he will do for the next week or more.

Abundant success attended the first millinery opening at the Llttle-LoiiR Company's Tryon street store yester day. In spite of the warmth of the weather a gol many customers wen on hand at the exhibition of the fall fashions In hats', conducted under the supervision of Miss Gibson, head of tht department. The exhibition will be continued through to-day and to-morrow. Yesterday the crowd was large and appreciative, and patrons spoke particularly about the workmanship and quality of goods, which were at surprisingly reasonable prices. The hewest colors were shown terra cottn, green (both emerald and olive), china blue, burnt orange and the brown shad illKS. Miss Gibson was asked to describe the prevailing tendencies in hats. She smil ed frankly. "I really don't think could make a mere man understand she said. "I'll tell you the crowning beauty of a hat is in Its curves, and you can't describe them, can you?" There was also a Arte display of dress fabrics. All In all, the exhibition at the first millinery sales was very creditable and satisfying to everyone concerned. A I'lenHliiK Innovation.
