Montgomery, December 9-(Special)-
cotton growers are urged to
hold their cotton and to enter into COM
bination with other cotton growing
states to keep the staple off the market
while it is bringing the low range of
prices now prevailing Colonel Harvey
Jordan of Georgia, president of the
Southern Cotton Growers Protective as
Southern Cotton Growers Protective as
Agriculture Poole to organize the Ala
bama growers and see that the idea of
holding out against the low values is
pushed at least until the meeting of the
Bool Weavil convention in Shreveport
La, December Z, at which time a defin-
lite plan will be adopted to meet the
situation THE only salvation of the
south at this moment" says Mr.. JoI-
dan, lis to stand steaafast together and
to absolutely refuse to market a single
bale at the present prices. Sell no cot
ton voluntarily and permit none to be
sold by coercion or intimidation. VIII
Southern farmers surrender their man
hood to the lash of Wall street specu-
lators?"
Another call comes from Texas in a
teleaRam to the commissioner of agricul-
ture. 1t is signed by E. s. Peters and
N c. Murray, and calls for a meeting of
the cotton growers of Texas, Indian
Territory and Oklahoma, on December
II, and Alabama is asked to take part. 1t
is announced in the telegram that Texas
will hold Its cotton and it Is hoped that
at this meeting a movement will be set
4, 10 On
the market from being put there.
H. M. Burt of Talladega writes Com
missioner Poole that he should urge that
all cotton be held for at least ten cents.
He SAYS the bears are determined to rob
the people of their labor If the people
will only submit to it.
The matter will be taken up and dis
cussed at the meeting of the Montgomery
County Agricultural association next
Saturday, at which local men will no
doubt join In with whatever movement
IA inaugurated to have the staple held
for better prices.
Commissioner of Agriculture Poole was
not in the city and it was not possible
to learn what he intended to do in the
matter of trying to organize the Alaba-
ma growers 1t is known that he Is
great believer in holding the staple. He
said some weeks ago that he believed 1t
would range well above ten cents up to
the first of February and Is still OF that
opinion.
