The south and It's Cotton.
A special dispatch from Memphis to

A special dlSpatcn IrOIh Me''Pn's w
the Boston Transcript says the record
breaking cotton crop of this year has
resulted in the suggestion Of numerous
plans for holding of cotton in the
South for higher prices. The most
unique is that suggested by prominent
merchants and planters at Courtlano'
Ala. This is to bura at least 1.Ooe,ooo
bales of the present crop. thus remov-
ing II from the worlds supply. They
hold that il this were cone at least III
cents Der pound could be secured for
the remainder. Their plan suggests
that every planter in the South make
=. nro rata contribution to this million
h.,ss and that the destruction be done
urder the supervision of the various
cotton exchanges of the :;outh. The
Transcript says that these gentlemen
nle,iee themselves to contribute their
nro rata share, and they are known to
he men of sincerity" This may all be
true. but nothing can come of such
nroposition. II is altogether impracti-
cal to get many thousands of planters
In all parts Of the South to enter such
an agreement and to carry it out.
Moreover, such w;intOn destruction OF
one of the necessities Of life would be
a crime against the country and
agains, humanity. and the government
would be amply justified in interfering
IL there was any prospect of such a
preposterous plan being carried out.
Another plan is that suggested by
the Southern Cotton Growers PrOtec-
tive Association and other kindred or
1anizations. This calls for mass meet
ings in every county in the cotton belt.
TO be held simultaneously this month.
for the purpose of tying up a certain
portion of the crop and preventing il
from being marketed during the cur
rent year. Leading merchants of New
Orleans recently suggested a plan Ut
this kind. and these associations were
quick to take it up. with the result that
official calls have already been issued
This plan is less radical than the
first but is scarcely less Impractical
Similar schemes have been proposed in
the past looking to the holding back OF
Iart Of 4 large cotton crop with the
idea Of planting smaller crop the
following year. but they have always
failed Every man makes an effort to
sell his cotton on the theory that his
neighbor is going to hold his back
Some planters would be financially
able to hold over every bale they raise
but the great majority of them need
all the money they can get from their
cotton crop and need it as soon rs they
can get it.
