important to Cotton Growers.

In view of the fact that a very
large majority of the farmers of Har.
deman county are engaged in the
production of cotton, THE BULLETIN
reproduces the following letter of
the Hon. Hector ID. Lane, of Ala
bama, bearing on the subject, to
which we direct attention, especially
of those Immediately interested.
Mr.. Lanes letter contains much of
interest, is sensible and temperate,
and deserves careful consideration :
ATHENS, Ala, Feb. 1.-THE
time has arrived when the farmers
should be giving the prospects of
the coming crops most serious con-
sideratiOn.
That the environments of the cot
ton grower are becoming more mimi
cal to their interests each succeeding
season, is discouragingly apparent;
that the encroachments upon COM
mercial rights are becoming more
piratical in their character, is a fact
that is not only appreciated but con-
demned by all right-minded men
who recognize the right and privilege
of legitimate commercial methods,
and the obtuseness of the Southern
planter in failing to observe, and his
subservience in tamely submitting
to these ills that are being inflicted
upon him by this scourge in the
hands of his reckless class of spec
ulative gamblers, is encouraging
them in their pernicious methods, is
rendering him pitIable in the eyes of
the world and subjecting him to the
obloquy of being both stupidity igno-
rant of his interests and ignomi-
niously servile in his forbearance.
AS is usual at this season, the cot
ton ''Bear" is again in evidence,
hewing down prices to the very low
est notch, using all the sophis-
try that his cunning can devise, and
all the articles that he can so ingen-
iously invent to hammer values down
to less than living prices. They are
thoroughly Indifferent to normal con-
ditions, and reck little to the COM
mon veal. They are sowing the seed
of incipient communism in fields in
which it is unknown and unnatural
growth. They would exult over four
cent cotton, and would contribute
their active aid in pressing it down
to the lowest point regardless of the
sorrow and restitution that would
prevail throughout the South under
such conditions.
AT this time last year they were
anticipating matters by Industrious
ly circulating reports that it was the
intention of the Southern cotton
grower to enormously increase the
acreage which they gleefully stated
would result in the production of
from eleven to twelve million bales.
Like fabrications are again being
circulated by them with the hope of
affecting the future values.
The Southern planter has the pow
er to checkmate these reckless des-
pollers of our prosperity by manly
and intelligent action. The only
