Some excellent advice is given
the farmers of the south in the ad-
dress recently issued by Hon.
Harvie Jordan, of Monticello, Ca,
president of the Southern Cotton
Growers Protective Association.
Among other things he says:
"The producers are to be con-
graduated on the firm stand they
have already taken to market the
crop slowly, and this fact alone has
prevented the price from falling
to eight cents during the month Of
October. The crop is about gather
ed, debts generally are paid and it
is no longer absolutely necessary
to sell the remainder of the crop.
The ginners' report recently issued
from the United States census
bureau indicated that up to October
IS only 6, 400, 900 bales had been
ginned. This report clearly in
dicated that this crop will not ex-
ceed II, ,ooo, 900 bales if it reaches
that figure.
"The spinners can we'll afford
to pay the producers twelve cents
a pound for every bale of American
short staple cotton made this season
and do a profitable business for the
stockholders. The price of yarns
has advanced three cents per pound
within the last sixty days and an
unprecedented demand for cotton
goods exist while stocks generally
are lower than they have been for
the past twenty years.
"The duty of the producers is
plain and simple. They have
crowded the markets for the past
two months oongesting every
facility for handling cotton and
playing into the hands of the bear
spectators. The thing to do now
is to is give the market and
the shippers rest during the next
sixty days and allow present stock
of cotton to be gotten out of the
way. Let the spinners, who are
living from hand to mouth, run
short of cotton and force them into
the markets as active buyers. Let
the spectators begin to feel the
lash of the bull operators when the
latter call for the deliveries of spot
cotton which the former will be un-
able to deliver.
"Let every holder of cotton abb
solutely stop selling and sit down
at home and quietly contemplate
results. Let each holder put no
more cotton on the market until
prices advance and never sell a
bale on depressed market.
"Let county meetings be held
all over the belt and strong and
active steps be taken to defend this
most valuable agricultural product
from the greed of the selfish spece-
lator. Let every man who still
holds a bale of cotton in his posses
sion join in these county and local
meetings and agitats the i'm
portance of this step among his
neighbors to the end that success
in the near future will be assured.
We have held our own we'll so far,
but we can do much better and
easily advance the price from two
to three cents by persistently re-
fusing to sell and tightening up
present receipts. We fixed our
minimum at ten cents for this sea-
son and maintained the price with
in half cent of that figure through
October, the heaviest month. Now
let ..the price be fixed at twelve
cents for the remainder of the crop
and the world will accept 1t at that
price which will mean an addition
al gain of nearly $780, 900.
"a determined stand will bring
victory"

Republican are sat forth in the resig- nation. MT. Miller recalls that a year ago he was prcStrated while sitting with. the board and was compelled to suddenly leave for the coast at a time when his official dtias were the most onerous and they had to be performed by his colleagues. The session of the board as board of equalization is re- quired by law to be continuous for twenty days, dating from today. MT. Miller has been assured by his phy- sician that his service would be attend ed by great risk; that it would be even dangerous fer him to remain in the valley. These reasons are also put in- to the form of a card to the taXpay- CTS in explanation of his retirement from the office to which they elected him, when his tern is only half com pleted.
 To his friends who demurred against his resignation, urging h.m to go to the coast if necessary and remain there until cooler weather and then return to his duties, MT. Miller re- piled that he did rot want 70 be con- sidered cold weather supervisor.
 With his family. and accompanied by Hi. Eldred and family, MT. Miller left last night for the seashore.
 A petition was put in circulation yes terday for the appointment of John P Orme to succeed tD the vacancy. The law requires that such a petition must bear the names of at least thirty taxpayers. Before noon it contained the names of most of the business men of the city. some of the heaviest tax payers of the county. All the banks of the city are represented on it. It will be offered to the board today, and it is likely that the appointment will be made at once.
