"It is. amusing to observe how folks will put forward any sort of an ex cuse if it is in aocord with their 'de sires and furnishes a cloak for their uhortcomlngs," remarked County Sup erintendent R . J. Cochran to an Observer man yesterday. "If they see a thing in tha newspaper and can say 'I saw it in print' that is seemingly sufficient Justification for almost anything. An illustration came under my eyes a few days ago. Some time since, The Observer published the appropria tions of the county board to the sev eral school districts. A typographic al error gave one school about $50 more than It should have had. Short ly after the board adjourned I sent out official statements giving the cor rect amount available for each school. Well, what do you suppose I received in the mall a few days ago. 1 got a communication from the committee of the school district to which The Observer had given $00 more than it should have had, stating that the teachers ' were expecting the full amount as per the newspaper and were planning to teach It out. My official notice was not to be accepted in the face of what was 'Keen in print,' " A MEMORIAL WINDOW. One to be Placed In the Prltchard Memorial Iinpflnt Church In Honor of the Late Rev. Dr. T. 11.

Lending Manufacturer Advises Mills Not to I'uy Drafts on Cotton Until lilll of Lading I Received Showing car Numbers and Initials. , . Complaint la made that between the compresses and the railroads tha cotton manufacturers of the piedmont region suffer a serious imposition in tha way cotton which Is purchased In the Went is shipped East ' The following is a circular letter lately sent out by a cotton mill man which explains the situation and In which a remedy is proposed: "I re cently made a trip down id Vlcksborg, Miss., to Jeacn something of cotton conditions, system of shipping, com pressing, etc., and to say that I was astonished at the methods employed and how tha mills of this section are being Imposed upon, would express it mildly.' -,. .: '-',.-.. , "You are no doubt annoyed by de lays, split-shipments, and wonder why, after getting a bill of lading for say 50 or 100 bales you flo not get ail of the cotton at one time, or wny It should take three months to get a shipment from Vlcksburg after the bill of lading haa been Issued by me railroad company. Tha trouble 1 just this ,vlz.: Tour bill of lading la not evidence that the railroad com pany has ever received the cotton; but Is issued Nupon a 'certificate lav- sued by the compress people that they have this cotton in their compress, and the cotton maylle in the com press for weeks after the bill of lad- inr has been issued and you nave Dald rour draft As an example theciover uouon Manufacturing Company buys 100 bales of cotton from A. & Co., Vicks burr. Miss. The said A. & Co. order the compress people to ship 100 bales of cotton, marked "Dodge" to Clover Cotton Manufacturing Company. Up on this order the compress people is sue a 'certificate stating that A. & Co. have 100 bales of cotton In their com Dress to.be shipped to Clover t-ot ton Manufacturing company, ana up on th s "ceruncate" me raiiruau company issue their Din or lauiiig. A. A Co. take this bill of lading wun draft attached to the bank and get their money: then A. A Co.'s respon ihiittv enajies and we have to wait natlontlv for 20 to 90 days oeiore we nt our cotton and lose tne interest for this time. The reason why our shipments come split Is this, vz.: The particular lot bought may De m af ferent compartments and on one day the compress people may find one 18t, compress and ship out; later on they will come to another lot wnicn mey do likewise and by the time we get our 100 bales we have had a dozen or more small lots. The mills of this section are losing thousands of dollars every year in the way of Interest by allowing such a method to prevail, and if we get to gether we can correct It, by simpiy refusing to pay a cotton aran uniess the bill of lading shows car number and initial. Look up your onm m adlno- and vou won't find one-tenth of them originating in Vlcksburg that have car initials or numbers insertea. "Every cotton merchant with whom I talked said the system was an outrage and a great Imposition on the mills, but they were powerless In the matter, as It was an arrangement between the compress and tho rail road companies. "If you are having trouble as out lined In this letter I shall be glad to hear from you. and let us get to gether and break up this unjust sya tcm ourselves or refer the case to tho Inter-State commerce commission."
