OKI HE SITUATION STUDY ijt Receipts for the Staple Are as Good as Money to the Owner and That the Price Can Be Controlled by the Producers. By Remsen Crawford. New York.

September 14. Special. Join E. Searles. the millionaire who Is interested In the mineral and agricultural developments of the south.

is interested ntae movement of the cotton planters of hit section to establish the local warehouse system and hold their product until tlIQ' can control the market. lie told ne today that he would be represented at the convention of the allied cotton In tenets of the south. to be held in Atlanta October 25th. He Is president' of the American Cotton Company. and Is the head of the company that is now putting in the- round bale system of packing cotton.

He thinks the Atlanta. convention is on the right line. When asked what there was in the WlClfeIDent of southern. farmers to hold their cotton until the price went up. Mr.

Searles said There is a reat deal in it this time. Heretofore such schemes on the part of lh cotton growers have tailed for sever- Mi. food reasons and the planter has ever' yet found himself In position to om144 the price of his product. He hat been forced to sell his cotton ad tdoaas he could ret it out of the ld in order to raise money for his creditors. This necessarily meant a sacrifice.

Often- time the cotton was hurled into the market all in a neat heap and within the three months of the autumn the market was choked. prices went down because the legitimate rule of supply and demand hid been set aside. The railways handled with difficulty the great bulk of traffic within so short a period Insurance was high' warehouses could not hold the crop everything conspired to the cotton growers' disadvantage. The Sound Bale a Helping Factor. Changes have come about.

New processes of packing the cotton into round bates. smaller in size and much more easily handled than the. old-fashioned Square bales have done much to make the local warehouse scheme feasible. In- roraoee on the cotton has been reduced tt by this round bale system and the capac- A by of Warehouse greatly increased. Capital Is now ready to build these warehouses at places where the cotton protection Is considerable and when they are built the planter may bring tls cotton there.

take a certificate on its de- flv ry and negotiate that certificate whenever he pleases for it will be as good as money anywhere. The farmer rosy borrow 80 pr cent of the value of his cotton at the market price. It he sees fit or ell it outright to the warehouse on the Such is the scheme that is being ar- raaZed to give the farmer a better showing In the market for his crop. It wilt. I assume.

be discussed at the Atlanta convention which I consider will be one the roost Important meetings the cotton rowers have held In the south for many a day. Mr. Searles. when asked it ho would attend the convention of the cotton plant- replied that it was quit probable that American Cotton Company or a corn- Pany affiliating with it. would be represented In Atlanta.

Ready To Enter the Field. We are ready to enter Into the local warehouse scheme with the farmers. resumed Mr. Searles and I am firmly convinced that it will In time completely revolutionize the method of marketing ivtt011' When the factories need cotton warehouses will send it forth and Price will undoubtedly thus be raised. 1 was talking the other day with one Jj the leading cotton exporters of New Orleans and he told me that when the scheme gets fairly in working order would derive great benefit from it.

Jfccausa he would not be forced to send US cotton off to Europe in great quantities and all at one period of the year. will hereafter only send the product Jbroad when the demand for it becomes 4 een. The railroads will be benefited the warehouse system. because they Mil not be taxed beyond their capacity to handle the crop In' the rush season. It Is called.

In tact. everybody who anything to do with the handling i the cotton crop will find advantage in i local warehouse scheme. Chief of all. farmer. Mr.

Searles said that he had investi- i Ud the conditions in the south recently with reference to the inauguration of this system of marketing cotton and oand everything In readiness for the Plan. The obstacle in the way that came to notice said he. is that In several Ut the laws are so shaped as Trot to give t111IIc1ent protection to the warehouse. but believe all these will be smoothed down time by the legislatures of the. va- es I Atlanta con- will take.

S. C. September 14. Spec ial. A challenge was cabled to Count Esterhuy this morning which may not result In a meeting on the field of honor.

but It the laws of the state are enforced the challenger will be brought before a Jury on a charge which It convicted. will send him to prison. and at any rate he can never hold public office of any character whatever within this state. Mr. P.

A. Ayer. who was a. sergeant In th First South Carolina volunteers. has been.

like the rest of the people. deeply Interested. in the result of tho Dreyfus trial. and when the verdict was announced he became fighting mad. As every one around here Is of the same way of thinking as MmseJf Count terhazy caught his Attention his anger.

Yesterday the following challenge was prepared and this morning ca bled to the rnFch count at his present residence In London. Anderson S. C. September H. Sir Believing you to be answerable for the misery and.

humiliation of Captain Dreyfus of the French army. and he. Captain Dreyfus. not being able to call on you personally for satisfaction I. as an American free born.

loving liberty. do volunteer in my own right. to meet you on the' field of honor. in behalf of Captain DrfOrtus. at any time and place agreeable to you.

Respectfully. PAUL E. AYER. In South Carolina it is unlawful to send a. challenge or carry a challenge for II.

friend II It is to fight a duel. The gulr prescribed oath for all persons to take on going into office. contains do clause that they have not fought a I sent or carried a challenge since 1881. the year in which the dueling law was passed. as the result of the Shan non fight.

Even if a man should not be convicted by a Jury of violating this law he Is disfranchised by sending a challenge. DROUGHT CONTINUES IN TEXAS Want of Rain Causes Streams To Fall Rapidly. Austin. Tex li. While there have been rains In some portions of the state during the past few days.

the drought continues undisturbed in the greater portion of the state. Conditions are dally' growing worse In this city. at Waco and Fort Worth. The river has fallen sa rapidly within the past few days that all the city electric and waterworks plants were compelled to shut down. finally today.

and there seems little chance for them to re- sume operations soon again. Reports from Fort Worth and Waco are that the situation is alarming. Report from the country west of here are that there is no water obtainable for roUes around. and that cattle and other live stock are dying by the hundreds for want of water. Ranges that have been well watered since man knewthis country are dried up now.

In June much of this section was under water from excessive rains. Now the parched ground la cracking. and water is a scarce article. SOLDIERS SENTENCED TO DIE. Americans In the Philippines To Be Executed Pue1cIy Manila.

Reply of Interest. to England. TLonltn September. 14. A forecast of the first draft of the Transvaal's reply to the ast tn flrltlh secretary of state for the colonies Mr.

Chamber- lain. now under discussion by the volkitaad has been received by Mr. Chamberlain. but 14 nature is not yet known. At the colonial office a reporter of tin Associated Prose was Informed that nothing will be given out for- the pru- ent.

It was regarded as significant however that the nature of the Boer reply was communicated to the commander Field Marshal Lord Wolsely who immediately summoned General Sir George Stewart White V. C. former quartermaster general the- prospective commander of the British forces in Natal. The tension now existing here and at. the Cape may be temporarily settled at any moment by tlw publication of Pres- ident Krugers reply.

On the other hand. It may be several days before the Ion eral public learns what answer the Transvaal has made. President Kruger has answered defiantly it dOJd not necessarily mean the breaking or of negotiations. Ths British would. prob- ably reply with an unmistakable ulU- matum.

It Is scarcely to England's advantage to bring about hostilities until the reinforcements are nearer the scene of action than they are at present. Whatever the pature of President Krugers reply it it probable that several more stages of. diplomatic processes will be gone through. with before there is definite war or. peace.

unless of course President Kruger should take the inlU- alive and raid Natal. It Is the- possibility of this move that makes definite news or the reply so eager. and anxiously waited. The consul general of the South Atrl- can republic. Mr.

Montague White said to a reporter of the Associated Press to day I have good authority for believing that the Transvaal reply win unsatisfactory to the British govern' ment. The Morning Post in the second edi. tlun prints a special despatch from Pietermarltzburg capital of Natal saying the reply la truculent loquacious and blasphemous. The Manchester Guardians correspondent at Cape Town. telegraphs that the outlook is of the gloomiest character.

The Cape Town papers themselves take a snore hopeful view of the situation basing their belief on the probable ac cetance by President Kruger of the franchise measures suggested in Mr. Chamberlains latestdespatch But even they admit. it is impossible to learn or foreshadow President Krugers attitude toward suzerainty of Great Britain which after all. Is still the main issue. While thestattof the foreign will Continued on Second Pp ONE MAN WS A STAGE.
