J.E.Latham'1 Cotton Letter Special to Journal New York Oct 20-Unfavorable weather and manipulation to establish a better selling basis during the first part of the week caused the highest prices of the season to be reached. Fear ing this wave of advancing prices and enthusiam from eleventh hour bulls, the market in the past .two days haa to contend with money disturbances abroad a panicky stock market at home, and fears of further serious troubles, polit ical and financial that at the moment alarms England, France and Russia. If these troubles can be successfully avoid ed I rather think well of buying on de clines because the movement has not assumed proportions sufficient to relieve the anxiety of these who are needy for cotton to fill engagements, and people whojhave heretofore entertained bum per crops views are inclined to modify them, another thing when prices drop below 10 cento a pound in the interior farmers say not sell freely, . we expect to see a very tight money market for several weeks possibly for several months. Crops About Bellair . :'.,',;, ,v .I... Oct 22. This is the eighth day of consecutive rainain our section, cotton picking and general crop housing suspended. The housing of the crop however, is quite a brief item about here if we have a few nice days. One farmer haa just housed the corn on 11 acres, which has usually yielded 60 barrels, this year the total is a little less than 80 barrels. We don't know whether this is a general average or not hope not however, for when a few are short and some have a surplus, it iaessy to meet thedefi- ciency.;.': -"'; v1--.- '";-;! - The potato crop seems- quite short, and in some places very few peas. Few farmers however have fair crops of peas, many were late and killed by the early frost before maturing. ' Sickness in our vicinity has abated some, but this warm, wet weather is favorable for germinating disease, as well as oata. Some of us sowed oats hat week and before we could get the ground properly harrowed, the oats were coming up. . . y L. R Parker Thinks Mill Men Muk TU( LISTING UNO POLITICS RAIN DWGES COTTON.

Too much rain and a Mistake by Allowing Cotton to be Sent Out of the State. E. L. Danxhtridge Re-elected President of the State Fair Association. (Special Correspondence) Ralegh, Oct 19 A charter in granted the Roper Logging & Timber Company, headquarters at New Bern, capital stock $50,000, the John L. Roper Lum ber Company being the principal stock- holders. It is authorized to build log ging railways and to cross the' Trent river near Pollocksville, if the" govern ment consents. Another charter is to Wilson & Co., of Greensboro, to make hogsheads, hoops, etc. $10,000, G. C. Wilson and others stockholders, and a third is to the Mountain Home Compa. ny, inc. to build a club house at Hdge- mon, Caldwell county, capital stock $25,000, North Carolina and South Car olina men being the stockholders. Today was the last day of the fair, and the attendance was very good. In point of agricultural exhibits and live stocks it is the best fair ever held State Treasurer Lacy said today: ' am sure I tell the truth when I Sny it is the best State fair I ever saw." Wake county took the prize for county exhib its. Moat of the exhibit was the work of one man, William Robbins of Ral eigh. It was pronounced by judges the best exhibit ever made by any county in North Carolina. Among the visitors to Democratic headquarters today was Capt, J, P. Al lison, of Concord. Speaking of the de velopment of his county, he id that while it had hot as many cotton mills as Gastgn, nor was building as many new ones, yet he believed the number of spindles in the mills which are being built will be as large as that in Gaston, that is somewhere about 100,000, two of the new mills is to have 50,000 of the number. Speaking of the labor ques tion in his section, .Capt Allison said that the scarcity and unreliability of labor was great and that this is the case all over the State without an excep tion, so far as he knows. No work in the cotton fields has been possible all this week. Secretary T. B. Parker of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Association said that com plaints were coming in about the qual ity of cotton. . Several cotton mill presidents tell me that it is going to be hard to get the high quality of cotton which they desire. - He fears that the mill men are making a great mistake bv lettintr the cotton which has been picked leave the State in large quanti ties, as he understands sharp buyers are picking it up for export One mill president tells me that he finds even now that he cannot get the grade he needs, except at a premium. Secre tary Parker says that most of the mill men are srouur along from hand to mouth, waiting for prices to get lower. He says they will wait in vain. Nordica, the great singer, who sang here Inst evening gave the second and final concert this evening, leaving to night for New York and thence sailing for Europe, having cancelled all her American engagements. She was an honored guest at the State Fair Mar shal's Ball at the Capital Club tonight, this being the crowning social event of the Fair, at which the marshals pre sented their sashes to the ladies of their choice. The re-election of E. L. Daughtridge as president of the State Fair gives a great deal of satisfaction. His county Edsrecombe. makes a fine exhibit He is one of the best farmers in the State and successful along all lines- It ia the general comment that the fair this year was the cleanest ever known, A minister said be had never seen any so clear of gambling and in decent shows, nothing being done either of these lines. Some fairs have been horrible as to the shows. ; The conduct of the fair shows what can be Idone along this line and the example will be followed,. Tneie will be a move ment for an exposition of 2 weeks next year, with very large prizea for county exhibits and the fair authorities will be urged to build a new main building. which ia greatly needed, as part of the old buildings are going, to wreck. $100,000, D.

The cost greater than expected, as part of the dam must be rebuilt It was not prop erly built The dam is 1,200 ft long and 9 ft high. It is said by some of the farmers that the carnage done by the rain which began last Monday and which yet con tinues, will nearly equal that by the frost. A letter from Texas says that all the cotton there can be picked it looks lik e a 6, 000,000 bale crop. Pick ers are being paid 75 cents to $1.00 a day, and board, and in 30 days it is ex pected the prices will go to f 1.50 in west Texas.

Among offenders against the revenue laws, tried and convicted at Statesville last week, was a prominent citizen, a member of the county Republican Executive Commit tee, charged with almost openly run ning a blockade distillery, and the tes timony showed that it waa in full blast while Federal court waa in session in Statesville last April. The defendant was ably and ardently defended by Judge Furches and Hon. Romulus Z. Linny, md as ably prosecuted by Dis trict Attorney Holton and Asst. Dist Atty Coble, and was convicted. Neith er the political prominence of the de fendant nor the legal abilities of his attorneys could save him from Judge Boyd's oft repeated notice that here after men convicted of blockading were going to be sent to the penitentiary, and the man was sentenced to a term in the Federal prison at Atlanta. The regular two week term of Guil ford Superior Court, for the trial of civ il cases only, began this morning, with Judge Fred Moore of Asheville, presid ing. Judge Moore held the last term of court here, it being hia first, and evefybody was highly pleased with the manner in which he dispatched busi ness, and held the scales of justice. While on the subject of republican ideas professions and practices of civic virtue, as compared with democratic, it may not be amiss to mention a flag rant derilection. There are in this city three democratic and two republican political papers. The Patriot, tht Rec ord, the Telegram, the Tar Heel and the Industrial News. On the tax lists, democratic papers have given in their property for taxation. Neither one of the republican papers, The Tar Heel or the Industrial News, although they boast of their splendid plants, have lis ted a dollar, and will necessarily have to be made to pay taxes.as delinquents. A gentleman this morning said he rec koned the Industrial News felt like it was a foreign coproration, Butler real ly livine in Washington, and was not liable for North Carolina taxes, while the Tar Heel ibeing owned by Black burn, who had no residence anywhere. felt like it was not domiciled anywhere. Be that as it may, neither one of these corporations are . listed for , taxes Guilford. At the last term of the Fed eral Court the republican Candidate for Clerk of the Court, couldn't serve as grand juror because he had not paid his taxes for 1906, and the republican can didate for sheriff was disqualified . for the same reason, only the latter, who ia wealthy owed for two years and srave a check for over three hundred dollars, past due taxes, in order serve even on the petit jury. These things seem strange of Guilford County Republicans, who pride themselves as being superior to those anywhere else in North Carolina.
