The Missouri Sena' or Delivers Ills Ad . dress on "Plctureio,ue Public Men" to the Students of the State Uni versityTar Heel- Congressmen Compllnrsnted. Special to Tlie Observer. Chapel Hill, Oct. 21. Congressman Champ Clark, of Missouri, delivered the first lecture in the star course se ries heje Saturday night. He chose as his subject "Picturesque Public Men," and he drew his examples al most entirely from picturesque Con gressmen. These he treated with no regard to prty, but with regard to tht?lr intellect and power of repartee. Reed and Blatne, of Maine, and Allen, of Mississippi, . were the principal characters of whom he spoke. He gave repartees and epigrams made by these men which he said did more to give them a national reputation than their many years of raithful and con sistent work. At the conclusion of his lecture he said he proposed to make a five-minutes' speech, and this tie did, express ing the belief that Bryan and Roose velt would be the presidential nomi nees In 1908. After that, he thought, it would be the time for the Sou Hi to assert Itself and nominate a South ern man for the presidency, declaring that he) believed this would unite the Democratic party aa hardly anything else could do. In speaking of the North Carolina Congressmen, he declared that in his opinion our State had a better aver age delegation in Congress than any other State. Despite the fact that Mr. Clark's voice was extremely hoarse, he de lighted his audience .and made a good impression on the students. PROTESTED HIS INNOCENCE, George Peters Is Hanged For Killing Rev.

Hlllsvlllo, Va., attracted an immense throng of the morbidly curious. A large num ber of North Carolina people crossed the line In order to see 'the execu tion, or to be as near as.' possible when the murderer went to his doom. Peters, as has been stated before, was respited for thirty days by the Gov ernor of Virginia an many people thought the Governor would Interfere again, but not so, and Georgs Peters went to face his Maker Friday. Up to the last he said that he did not kill the preajher, Rev. Joseph Eas ter, but gave those who .talked with him in Jail to understand that he knew who did' the killing. However this all may bo, Petory ha paid the penalty for his crime, and the law has, been vindicated. lie did not claim at the lost that he was prepared to die. - Saturday, was one of .the busiest days this city has experienced In a 'long time.

The cotton mills of the piedmont are very much alive to the question of getting more help In the mills, especially with the advent of autumn, when cotton manufacturing usually picks up considerably. "At Spartanburg the other day, said an observant traveling man, "I saw a large crowd about a coach full of white labor that had just come from the mountains of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee to work in the mills. There were par ents and children; old folks and young ones, all apparently glad to get away from the mountains before the usually hard winter begins, making their way to various towns, mostly along the Southern Railway, to get . coveted Jobs in the mills in the . coming winter months." While the cotton mills in "and about Columbia are fairly well supplied with help, there is plenty of room in. the mills fop- good laborers, and the man ufacturers are, as a rule, glad to se cure the native white mountaineer, who makes about as good a hand to operate mill machinery as can be got ten anywhere in this country. , - .-..."".-.i- . GENERAL. COTTON SITUATION. Growers, Yarn-Makers and Weavers AH Resolutely Fighting Downward Tendency In Prices of Their Pro. ducts. . Wall Street Journal. December cotton at New York on TuPBdav elOPfid nf 11 oonti a .TWiiini compared with 11.02 a year ago. Then me maraei was race to race with an acknowledged crop of 13,500,000 bales, While a'smaller nne hv a mtlllnn halo.1 Is generally expected this year. Why is cotton not nigiier? ' In the first place the market, both from the'Hunnlv slrln nnri tho A cum a Tin side, as well as from the speculative standpoint, is now quite differently constituted. The holding capacity of the producer is this season much more fully developed, whether regarded financially or commercially. The pro ducer has more money with which to hold his crop, is In better standing with banks to borrow on account of his holdings, and Is commsrclallyl. bet ter Informed an tn th winilSH trolling the market. Nevertheless, tnestrinsrencv of th mnnev mnriipf against the aurce nf nnv no-o-rou. slve holding policy, whether supported by spinners or not Furthermore, the cron has still possibilities in It of considerable increase if weather fa- vors it. From tho, milling standpoint both the yarn-makers ahd thn weavers hava cares of their own. The factory pro duct market is srraduallv sett line in spite of all that can be done to tho contrary. Aitnougn the mills are se cure for the time being, as shown In an analysis nf tho iraAn in nnnthor column, they are not likely to add any suengin to xne prices or cotton fibre at tne present stage of a falHng mar ket. The commission hnnsoa whirk have the most direct relation to mills ontne one hand and to the distribut ing trade on the other, are doing their best to keen the market fmm hra,v. ing under pressure of reduction or cancellation of orders. The only other factor of primary importance is the sneeuJatfvn of raw cotton. Just now this Is not so immediately concerned with the textile eiae or tne market, although remotelv it must m&tertniiv innntm,. mill policy. For the present, and for two weeks more at least, frost rec ords will be the main influence affect intr fibre nrlces. If thl M9nn'i M-nn should reach last year's proportions, prices must go lower Still. Taken as a whole the cotton trade, from the grower to the wearer, Is apparently preparing itself for lower prices. The decline Is heaviest at the end of the market nearest the cotton grower and highest, at the retail end, with the balance of power in the hands of the mills. WHY COTTON GOODS WERE CUT. Marshall Field & Co.'s Manager Makes Explanation Unable to Un. derstand Commotion Aroused by Firm's Action Prices Were Inflat cd. He gays, and Reduction Was Necessary Other Views, Chicago Dispatch to New York Journal of Commerce. E. A. Shedd, general manager of Marshall Field & Co.. said that he was unable tj understand tho com motion that had been aroused by the action of his firm in reducing the price of cottons. He had no desire to start a furore, and was surprised that so much mad been made of it, He said; "The postal card sent out by us really tells the whole story, it emphasizes the superiority of the Chicago market, and of our house tn particular. We believe that certain staples have been unduly advanced In price beyond their value. Our action is no Indication that we are pessimis tic as to the future, and we believe that the first six months of 1908 will realize a large volume of business in the country contributary to our mar ket." Mr. Shedd seemed amused at ' the suggestion that the financial situa tion, or a desire to' realize cash tn stead of paying has discount rate Jiad ahything to do with the action or nis nrm. He explained that Mar shall Field St Co., always paid cash for merchandise and no question of discount entered Into the matter, If he feared business depression he said that he-certainly would not say. so, but In fact that had nothing to do with his action, which was based up on the belief that the prices of cotton goodse had been Inflated and that a reduction was necessary L. B. Grlyt manager of the domes tic goods department of Carson, Plrie, Scott & Co., said: "We have met the prices made by Marshall Field & Co, as a matter of course. We always compete in prices anywhere with fig. ures made by a reputable concern able to deliver the goods. ' Practical ly all the leading Chicago, houses will meet the new prices, and expect' to hold their trade and take care of their customers as usual. A few firms may pretend to meet these , prices who will not be able to deliver the good and who are making a bluff, but that situation will soon clear Itself, I un derstand some of the New York houses have refused to meet the re duction, and I believe tbey are mak ing a great mistake." Mr. Gray was inclined to believe that a 'desire to boom Chicago as a central market had much to do with the action of Marshall Field St Co He recalled the campaign that had been made' by the Chicago' Commer cial Association to Increase Chicago trade throughout the country, and be UeveQ that a desire to emphasize this and show that Chicago could - make the prices for the entire United States was largely responsible for the action. This idea was confirmed by Mr Shedd, who said that he acted not for nis firm ione, put for Chicago as a central market, and believed that the action rvotnr nav a material - effect. is' 1 j ia a Lj.niiici-v.ijl vi . the country, , , Mr. Gray was inclined to believe that the reduction was a mistake, as there was no need for it. The mar ket had been sold for the balance of the year, and no one could : foretell what the price for next year would be. The supply of domestics has fiot been equal to the demand even at former1 prices, and it is practically impossible to get goods from the mills for prompt delivery and - has been for some time. He decried the idea that desire to realize cash and avoid paying high discount rates, had anything to do with the transaction since there Is no change in the usual terms of doing business. Other Chicago merchants evinced some feeling at the action of Mar shall Field & Co. and held that no such move would ever have ; been made while Mr. Field was alive. They raid that he Was satisfied with a reas onable profit,,; but always, wanted a profit on his rtansacttons, while the new,i prices were below the cost of the goods to the wholesalers. It was In timated that the - new . management wanted. to. make a sensation and call attention to the new blood and new methods In control and seized upon this opportunity as the most conspic uous way of getting the change bo fore - the business world. NEW STATUS OF COTTONS. Selling Aeents For "Woolen and Wor sted Mills Report Larger Spring Reorders rFcw Jobbers Are Able to Handle Additional Business on Knit f Goods.' New York Commercial, 18th. In accordance with the new condl1 tions that are being: faced in the cot ton goods market sellers are gradual ly establishing a new status for cot tons of all 'descriptions on forward contract. In some Instances the buy ers for large Interests have been able to get lower prices quoted them on goods for delivery this side of Janu ary. This, however, is a rare excep tion In the markets The sold-up con dition of coarse, as well as fine yarn cottons for the coming three to four months is a thing that has not been experienced in this trade for many years. Lines are taken care of for the balance of this year, and It only re mains for the mills to make good on delivery. It is stated in the agencies and commission houses that cancella tions are threatened on goods that are past due, and that there is a pos sibility of further cancellations in the event of the mills not living up to their contracts. .What will be the re sult of goods being turned back on the sellers is an open question, but the majority of men in the trade are positive they would be able to resell the goods at prices that would save the mills from any loss. The saving circumstance In this market is the short supply of goods of all classes to meet an unsatisfied demand for spots and goods for near-by delivery. The aggregate stock of colored and bleached cottons is estimated to be Car lower than that carried in any recent October. Selling agents for woolen and worsted mills report a stronger business on their medium weight lines for spring delivery. The clothiers who were careful purchasers on Initial orders are now filling out their stocks and are not deterred from free buying by the fact that prices are being rigidly maintained on the fancy woolens and fancy worsteds by most of the large factors. In the jobbing market It Is stated that a much larger business on knit goods for fall and winter consumption could be put through If ths mills could make delivery. As it is the majority of Jobbers are declining further busi ness on hosiery and underwear, as they have their present supply under order and cannot count on more goods for the heavy weight season. Textile School for New York State. American Wool and Cotton Reporter. The advantages of technical schools are nowhere more fully recognized than In the textile industry, and there are few manufacturing sections tn this Industry which are not supplied with textile schools of the highest order. The men graduating from these Institutions as a class are sought by mill managers, and tho Increased value of th' technical school Is readily admitted. The only large ami hlgnly Important textile manufacturing State without its completely equlprt;lI fx tilo school Is New York, and the in terest in the project of establishing sucn a scnoai, inaugurated by us I some time ago, seems to be growing, and from all Indications some defi nite action will be taken by educa tors and textile manufacturers at no distant date.
