In the Journal a quote misrepresented R A Morrow by implying he favored new gins within city limits. He supported retaining the Main Street gin while allowing other gins elsewhere in town and opposed alderman interference as long as other gins could operate or be built within corporate limits.

Fairy Talk About Profits From The Charlotte Observer
The article revisits D A Tompkins calculations on the cost of cotton production, noting that costs vary by season and that even under good conditions a farmer’s profit margins are narrow. It contrasts New York Journal of Commerce estimates of 150 percent profit with high labor, seed, fertilizer, and equipment costs, arguing the Southern farmer’s net is much smaller and often below 25 percent. It criticizes calls for excess profits taxes and stresses that cotton at 25–26 cents reduces profit margins, warning against inflated profit claims and noting cross-regional competition with Western crops.
