JUST HOW DEWEY WON.
Daniel DobIe Explains the v~ermonter's
Tricks to His Ross County Neighbors.

Tricks To HIS hOss sounty NeignDors.
When the news of Dewey's victory
reached Pe~nnyroyal, in Ross county,
Ohio. and that was not many days ago,
Il caused no excitement and there was
no celebration of any kind. but on Sat-
urday night John Bridges store was
crowded with men who wanted to hear
a description of the battle by Daniel
Doble and an explanation of some
things hat were not understood.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-02-03

Mr. c. H Mccall of Buena Vista, Ga,
in a letter in the Constitution, says that he
has been trying for some time to solve the
question as to how the cotton acreage can
be reduced. He has finally come to the
conclusion that the farmers will not plant
much less cotton unless they are forced to
do so by means other than those which
are natural. The following plan. he says,
has occurred to him: Let all bankers in
the cotton belt meet and agree not to bor-
row a dollar In New York or elsewhere, and
to loan only what money they have of
their own. The farmers, therefore, will not
be able to get money with which to plant a
large acreage, and the local merchants
cannot get money to furnish the farmers
with sufficient supplies to so extensively
into cotton raising.
This plan appears to be all right, but
wouldn't it be just as easy to call meet
ings of cotton growers and get them TO
agree to reduce their cotton acreage?
What reason is there for supposing that
the bankers would make the proposed
agreement? Is there any? 1t would be just
as impossible to get the bankers to agree
not to loan money 10 cotton farmers and
country merchants as 1t would to get cot
ton farmers to agree to cut down the cot
ton acreage. Besides, the amount of
money which New York furnishes to make
the cotton crop is very small. That crop
is now made practically without the as
sistance of New York money. The cot
ton growers and country merchants are
able with what assistance Southern banks
give them, to make the cotton crop.
The Buena Vista mans plan is like the
plans of great many other men for keep
ing the cotton crop within profitable linn
its-it is worthless. 1t is regrettable, of
course, that he has given so much of his
valuable time to the task of perfecting it.
but he has the consolation of knowing that
many others have wasted valuable time in
trying to find way to bring about "a re-
duction of the cotton acreage. There is
only one thing that will force a reduction
in the acreage. namely, the low price of
cotton for few years.
