SAVE YOUR

President of Cotton Growers Urges
u Cents as Price Off Re
nainder of Crop.

Macon, Ga, Nov. I7.-Hon. Harvie
Jordan, of Monticello, Ga, President
OF the Southern Cotton Growers Pro-
tective Association, has isseued an ad-
dress to the cotton-producers OF the
South, in which he says, among other
things:
"The producers are to be congratu-
lated for the firm stand they have al
ready taken, and that fact alone has
prevented the price from falling to
8 cents during the month of October.
The crop is about gathered, debts
generally are paid and it is no longer
absolutely necessary to sci the bal
ance of the crop The ginners re-
port recently issued from the United
States census bureau indicated that
up to October IS only 6,4oo,ooo bales
of cotton had been ginned. This
report clearly indicates that this crop
viii not exceed 100000 bales, if 1T
reaches that figure. The spinners can
we'll afford to pay the producers II
cents per pound for every bale OF
American short staple cotton made
this season and do a profitable bust
/ ness for the stockholders. The price
of warns has advanced cents per
pound within the last sixty days, and
an unprecedented demand for cotton
goods exists, while stocks generally
are lower than they have been tor
the last twenty years. The duty OF
the producers is plaina nd simple,
They have crowded the markets for
the last two months, congesting
every facility for handling cotton
and playing into the hands OF the
bear SPECTATORS and spinners. The
thing to do now is to give the mar
kets and shippers a rest during the
next sixty days, and allow present
stocks of spot cotton to be gotten
out of the way. Let the shippers who
are living from hand to mouth run
the markets as active buyers Let
the bear 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 I'm
able to deliver.
LET every holder of cotton abso
; lutely stop selling and sit down a
home and quietly contemplate re
: suits. Let each holder put no NOR
! cotton on the market until price
: advance, and never sell a bale on
) depressed market.
: "Let country meetings be held a

: steps be taken to defend this mos

Let every man who still holds a ba
of cotton in his possession join

THE MOOD OF DAWN.

Why ist that when l wake and see the dawn,
Pencil my shutter-chinks with staring white
At there shoots CLEAN Of living light
Across the dull pool whence my thoughts drawn
AS if a trout brook from the purple height
OF tamarack hills, down with silver leaps
Quickened and churned to foam the sluggard deeps
That never shook their mrrored stars all night?
Day broadens and the mud of commonplace
Thickens my pool l shrink again
Of the hard wrench of change the tosome chase
little longer grasp the old the tame;
Only in that fresh dawn-mood could | dare
The stark white perils of dash for Fame

How little New York Democrats under
stand the spirit of the age. Parker is said
TO be worth $4,000. Billy Hearst has mill

New York Democrats seem to forget
that Kansas Democrats-some of them
have favorite New York son, and his
name isn't Parker
1t is generally conceded that, if nomi-
mated. Hearst could get a part OF the
Democratic labor vote. Ii is also more
generally conceded that Hearst won't be
nominated.

A NEW VIEW OF THE MERGER.

The Bankers Magazine discussing the merger decls.
brings the idea that trusts have been built
up railroad competition and that general application
of the merger principle would deprive them of their chief
advantage smaller corporations and individuals
The point is that the corporations get lower rates
transportation spite of all laws against discrmna-

The theory argument that if the competing roads
permitted pool merge, so that business or
earnings would be divided would have any motive

be easier maintain equal for all shippers and
small firms corporations and individuals would have
fair chance 10 compete with the trusts
