FARMERS CAN FIX THE PRICE.
By Building Cotton Mills They Would Be in Position to
Dictate Price of the Staple.

I'll the farmers of the south only re-
allied it they it in their power to
practically dictate the price of cotton
torevermore," said prominent mill
agent to me yesterday in discussing
the cotton mill industry in Georgia.
Smaller acreage is all right and hold
ing the cotton is all right, but building
mills is worth more than all else.
"And yet the people who raise the
cotton are last to take any interest in
mill building; they do not seem to
know that the local cotton mill has
been their salvation the past two sea-
sons, or since the local mill began to
cut any figure in the southern market
And yet, were it not for the number of
small mills scattered all around
through the south the farmer would be
getting five or ten dollars bale less
for his cotton.
"Tll tell you what | know. Cotton is
quoted today in the towns of Georgia
at 81 and 8! cents But you can't buy
pound of it for less than 10 cents; pro-
vided, of course, the farmer is not too
anxious to SELL The man who is not
obliged to sell and who knows the true
situation with the mills is going to get
10 cents or more for his cotton if he
hasn't already done so, as in the case
of a warehouseman | met a few days
ago. 1t was in one of the small towns
of the state.
This warehouseman had 275 bales
of cotton that lie had bought up at
and cents ami less. He was deter
mined to get 10 for it, and he was able
to carry it indefinitely. There is a
pretty important mill in the same town
two of them in fact. The other day
an export buyer, who had heard OF
| this big lot of cotton, came into the
town and made an offer for it. The
manager of one OF the local mills heard
the exporter was there and he casually
dropped in on the warehouseman to
ask what he would take for that cotton.
| He was told 10 cents was the least and
that it would stay there and rot before
it sold for less. The mill man got to
thinking about the export buyer, and
the warehouseman encouraged the
idea that the exporter was anxious to
take the lot.
'The local man began to figure that
if he went elsewhere to buy he would
have to pay the expenses of buyer
back and forth, pay freight and dray-
age on the cotton, all of which would
foot up at least two dollars or two and
half bale; so, while 10 cents was
above the market, it would be better
on the whole to buy the lot right at
the door of his mill. There's the case
in nutshell.
"And the same thing is happening
every day right here in Georgia. Ev-
cry one knows that where there are
local mills that can consume as much
as third or half of the towns re-
ceipts the market is always sitter: IN
fact it is an easy matter for the farmer
to get from a quarter to half cent
more.
"And nobody knows it better than
the export buyer. They always &c

A Desirable Disease.

The Rev. Mir. Bliss of New York
SAYS that millionaires are merely symp-
toms of disease, and that they are pos
sessed of wealth because they cannot
help it. This country is full of people
who would be more than pleased to
contract the disease; they would do al
most anything to have the millionaire
bacillus introduced into their veins.

looking for towns where there are no
cotton mills. And they will frankly
tell you that the reason is the local
mills force them to pay more for the
staple. Right here let me tell you
what know about one town that has
three mills.
These mills use up about 1900
bales of cotton annually, or within
1000 bales of the annual receipts of
the town. received message from
that town today saying the market was
81 but that they couldn't buy pound
for less than 10 cents, and had even
been willing topay that rather than get
same thing throughout the season. 1t
would be safe to say that these three
mills have kept the price of cotton up
fully quarter if not a half cent a
pound throughout the season. In fact
the record will show this to be true as
compared with neighboring markets
where there are no mills. Every bale
of cotton sold in that town this season
has brought, therefore, two dollars a
bale more than it would have brought
but for the presence of those mills.
"You can figure the result for yolr-
self. Twice eighteen is thirty-six, or
$4,000 year increase in the cash
value of the cotton sold in that town
this year. This extra money went
into the pockets of the farmers. And
what did they do with it Well,
bought new clothes, new wagons, new
buggies, new harness or piano or
something (all of which went into the
pockets of the northern manufacture
ers) but none of it was invested in new
cotton mills.
"Think of what it would mean if just
this extra profit alone had been put
into new mill Not only would the
investment pay anywhere from 20 to 40
per cent. in dividends, but hundred
per cent. in its influence upon the mar
ket each season.
II say the farmers do not realize
this, else they would get together in
every county in Georgia and build a
new mill every few years, until every
bale of cotton raised in this state could
be consumed right where it is raised.
Yet they continue to depend upon town
men or northern capitalists to do the
very thing they ought to do them
selves.
81 know what I'm talking about
when say cotton mill is a good in
vestment. The one | represent paid
80 per cent. in dividends last year be-
sides putting 10 per cent. to the sur
plus funds out of which fund new
mill has been built and the capacity
of the concern doubled within ten
years.
1T would pay the farmers in every
county in Georgia to get together
along this line; call meetings, invite To-
C II merchants and bankers to join with
them and 90 to work to build a local
cotton mill. Where they have one
they should build another. They can
not do more for themselves than by
organizing movements of this sort. -
