XIME8-BNTEBPRISE, THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, MAY .'0 1904.
ANEW LEVEL.
The address of President W.C. Heath
of the American Cotton Manufacturers
Association, before the annual conten
tion in Washington, on Wednesday was
Bite of the most thoroughly exhaustive
and reasonable treatises on the groat
cotton problem that have ever been giv
VD nnt.
Mr. Heath is a southern man, from
Monroe North Carolina, and he is in
position to study the problem in all Its
He takes the broad, and
faty position among Jootton
tore tv, that the manufacturer should
be a bull and not a beay that he should
lend his efforts toward the boosting of
tho price of cotton, thereby strengthen
ing the price of cotton goods and the
prosperity of the south.
As a matter of fact, cotton manufac
turers ns a class have been among the
“shorts" for the past two years, and in
as much as tire prtco of their manufac
tured product has by no means kept
pace with the price of ootton tho near
sited ones among them have been driv
en to tile bear instead of the bnll pen.
Mr. Heath hold* that if they had be
come cloth bnlls instead of cotton bears
thoy would have served their purpose
far more effectively.
In endeavoring to lower the price of
tne raw staple by claiming high prices
to.be a result of speculation instead of
decreased supply, they kept down the
price of goods and did nothing toward
holding tho price of cdtton. A combin
ed effort would hero caused the maun,
faotured article to fluctuate exactly as
the raw staple.
Mr. Heath sees a now regime in mat
ters cotton. A return to the old low
price lovel orn nevor be made. While
Speculation was, responsible for a part
of tho recent rise, tills very speculation
was a result of nafurftl conditions indi
cating a short supply in comparison with
the demand, Hvery effort possible has
been made to break down this now and
higher price level. As said a leading
member of the NewYork Cotton Ex
change. "Cotton is standing without
n friend, it would seem. Against it is
the English Government, the combined
mill interests of tho world, manipula
tions of Liverpool and New York, the
banks of Wall streot and every possible
influence that can be brought to bear,
andstill prices remain high." Cotton
Kaa never been so low that persistent
efforts have not been made to make it
lower.
President Heath lays his faith in tiie
continuation oi high prices chiefly in
uwo things, flrst the south's Inability to
largely increase ita output, owing'to la
her conditions; and second, tho deterio
ration of the quality of ootton seed.
He thluks there will bo at least no les-
gsnlng In tlm demand? and possibly sn
inrreuse
It would seem ions that Mr. Heath
has failed to consider in reaching his
conclusion tiie unsettled state of tho
eastern market. China and Japan be
ing decidedly the lnrgest foreign msrj
ket for southern ootton goods, have a
vast influence os^r their prices. If
Russia is liually successful lu the pres
ent war with Japan site will make etory
effort to close lids enormous Ciiinese
. market to us, and the demand bring
thus eurtaileit will work a disiiiiet
feet on tiie price of ootlou.
Without statistics at hand, we are per
suaded that the matter of a deteriora
tion in tiie quality of sped is a bug-a-
.boo. It is utterly iueendstant wit 1
farmer's habits, gro Yh out of long years
of advice, to pan withjlus best tied
and save the inferior to plant.
We too, believe that the price of cot
ton has been established on a now plane
and that there is bnt little chance of S
cent conditions returning, but we are
even mute thoroughly convinced that
that plane will uot be a twenty cent one
or even a sixteen cent one.
This old law supply of and demand Hint
is getting so tired of being bandied about,
will come in and say you can uot sell
ootton at ten cents when yon can raise
it with aproflt at six." The monopoly of
southern land is not sufficiently well es
tablished to let a 300 per cent profit on
ita products .bo long allowed.
One more point at which we wonld
attack Hr. Heath's conclusions, is that
Regarding the futon of aonthern ootton
mills. The gpntlaman feare that there
is already a surplus of ootton mills In
thesonth. He speaks of many of them
belbf already closed and many others
likely to do so vety soon,and attributes
t his to both an overstepping of the need
tor cotton mills and a blind entry into
tiie field by people who are
cd with the business.
In the latter we heartily agree; but so
long as the south raises 80 per cent of
the .world’s ootton and harbors not ex
ceeding ten per oent of tiie world's oot
ton factories. We will not agree that tbs
limit of conservatism baa been reached
in the establishment
factories.
Many of the failures tliat hare so far
come have been duo to incompetence,
and most of the others to the unsettled
and inconsistent state of the ootton mar
ket. In recent years the ootton manu
facturing industry hns run toward the
south by leaps and pounds, and it has
not yet "got ita breath.”
Every new factory that is established
in the south may be one too many for
the world’s supply, bit not the south's.
It is then a question of the survival of
the Attest and we hold that nature has
decreed a “factory on the spot,” other
tilings being equal, to be “fitter” than a
factory hundreds of, miles away.

Quaint, Queer and Curious Salt Lake
r City.
The late CoL John Cockerell in The
Cosmopolitan said "There are three uni*
que cities in America, and one of these
is Salt Lake City.” ’ It is not only Uni
que in its temple, tabernacle and other
Mormon church institutions, but quaint
in appearance, with its wide streets, im
mense blocks and martial rows of shade
trees. It has, perhaps, more attractions
to tbe square yard than any city in the
country, and its climate, while temper,
ate all the year round, is particularly
delightful in summer. Tbe Great Salt
Lake, with Ita magnificent Saltair resort,,
where the water is "deader and denser"
than that in the Dead Sea in Palatine
is an attraction in itself that people
come miles to see. There are many
cool mountain and lake resorts near by,
also numerous very pretty canon and
park drives, and hot sulphur springs.
Fishing and bunting can be bad in every
direction, Tbe trip from Denver to
Salt Lake City and Ogden, via the Den-
a & Rio Grande and the Rio Grande
Western, is one oi unsurpassed pleas
ure. Here nature is found in her stern
est mood and tbe whole line is a suc
cession of rugged canons, waterfalls
and picturesque valleys. No European
trip can compare with H in grandeur pf
scenery. During tbe .entire summer
there will be low excursion rata to Salt
