AMERICUs HAS PULLBACKs, TOO

Every community has a class of citi-
zens that retard rather than advance
the interests of their town. Americas
also has them in the quiet though
strong infuenc that has ever defeated
the building of cotton factory here.
Our sister city, Albany, has them, and
Editor Mcintosh, of the Albany Herald,
characterizes them as ''pullbacks." He
thus pays his respects to the Albany
"puIlback" and the Times Recorder
thinks the criticism applies with equal
force 30 the Americas ''pullback. Says
the Herald.
''Every community numbers among
its citizens men OF the 'pull back" per
suasion. They are never in the front
rank of any enterprise, but mingle with
the taiI-enders. And instead of push
ing from the rear for the purpose of
helping those up in front who are pull
ing with might and main, these con-
trary individuals doggedly rear back on
their launches and throw cold water
on every movement not calculated to
bring them direct pecuniary gain.
ssSuch citizens are detriment to the
growth and up building community.
They not only do nothing themselves
to strengthen the march of community
progress, but are a perpetual dis
couragement/ to others who are
naturally inclined to be enterprising
and progressive. Whenever invited to
take hand in any movement calculat-
ed 10 advance the material welfare of
their town, they first weigh care
fully the necessary outlay of cash or
trouble as against the probable direct
personal benefit to be derived, and I'M
less the prospect is a remarkably
promising one from a selfish stand
point, they snap their purses together
and retire to the rear of the column,
there to grumbe, belittle those more
enterprising and resume the pulling
UHch Iractlcos
Albany has her share of pull-backs,
but, happily, their name Is not legion.
Most of our people are genuinely enter
prising, and know the value of united
community effort. They do not meas
IRE everything by the standard of self
ishness and self-interest, and our city
keeps moving forward in spite of the
maIcontents and grumblers. We have
great community enterprise on hand
at the present time, and the way our
people of all classes and conditions are
rallying to It's support assures its full
success. Let US make 1t such triumph
that the pull backs will be ashamed to
show their face"

The farmers of this section of the
cotton belt have had the most ia
vorable weather for picking cotton
this fall, and have availed themselves
of the advantages thus afforded. While
the crop Is smaller than usual, the
sample has, for the most part, been
very fine, which has added material Y
to the price received for 1t.

HOLDING BACK COTTON.

A number of the members of the New
York Cotton Exchange were interview
ed, day or two ago, respecting the
Cotton Growers Protective Association.
Most of those who consented to talk on
the subject expressed the opinion that
the association would come to nothing,
They said that an effort had been made
number of times within the last
twenty years to form combinations
of cotton growers for the purpose OF
holding back cotton and thus controlI-
ing the price of it, and that practically
nothing had bee accomplished.
According to their view there are too
many cotton growers and too many in
terests concerned IN the cotton crop
to permit of the success of any effort to
control the price of cotton by holding
it in warehouses or by any other means.
In the first place it would be impossi-
bic to get a majority of the cotton
growers into the combination, and in
the second place it would be difficult
matter to get those who entered the
combination to hold cotton when they
thought the time had come to sell it.
When the price was low many would
sell thinking the price would go lower,
and when it was high many would re-
fuse to sell-hoping the price would go
still higher.
Some members of the exchange, how
ever, expressed the opinion that the as
ISOLATION was a good thing for the cot
ton farmers and that in the course of
time there would be warehouses all
over the cotton section, in which cot
ton would be stored and negotiable
certificates issued on 1t, just as there
are warehouses in the West now for
the storage of wheat on which ware
house certificates are issued. They ex-
pressed the belief that it would be pos
sible for the cotton growers to control
the price of cotton to a certain extent.
Nothing, they said, could be inferred
from what the asso citation has done
and is doing this year, because condi.
tons in the cotton world this season
are abnormal. The cotton growers get
a great deal more for their cotton thar
they expected to get when they
planted, and there is no reason why
they should hold back cotton. If
however, the crop was large and the
price low, cotton growers would be
anxious to encourage the holding back
of cotton. so that by the iudiciouE
marketing of it-that is, distributing
the sale of it throughout the entire
season. better price would be OBJ
tanned.
The Cotton Growers Protective As
ISOLATION is not likely to get fair tria
until season of low priced cotto1
comes. From present indications sucl
season need not be expected for a
least two years. The present crop is ad
mitted to be a small one, and tn,
world could and would take big croI
next season at a price that would b
very remunerative to the growers
