Cotton Growers Issue Ad-

An appeal for Cooperation to
Meet the Efforts Of Oatsi
oers to Control the pri-
ceS.

growers neld Ia the city OF COlum-
cla on the 26th day of October,
1904, we, the undersigned, were
appointed committo to prepare
an address to the cotton growers
of South Carolina. We desire to
state most emphaticalIy that this
IL business organization pure
and simple that there is nothing
secret or hidden in reference to
reference to its business; its sole
and single object Is to secure for
cotton grwors such Uniform prie
ces as will properly compensate
them for the labor and capital in
vested. Realizing that cotton
Is the currency Of the south and
that here industrial welfars is de.
pendent upon the price Of 1t, we
therefore invite the aid of every
cotton producer, and all business
and professional men in the state.
we further recognize the fact
that the cotton manufactures are
deslrous of maintaining stable
price for cotton and we believe
that this organization will pro-
mote the interest of the cotton
manufacturers of the south. This
is an t.ge of combination and or.
ganlzatlon. Other agricultural or
CARNATIONS have been able to fix
and maintain d stable price for
the commodities to the mutual
benefit of producer and consum-
er and have successfully elimina
ted the demoralizing influence of
the violent fluctuations conse-
quent upon reckless speculutions
which have proved so disastrous
to the producer. We declare it
to be a necessity for the welfare
OF the cotton growers of the
south to organize for the purpose
of protecting the raw material.
We wish to impress upon the
cotton growers the fact that they
put upon the market within 90
days the bulk of their crop and
desire the commercial world to
take it at it's full value; to take
the risk of storing. the expense
OF insuring, the loss of interest
for nine wonths without compen-
sating the purchaser whereas com
mon sence would teach them that
in order to realize the highest
price they must carry these risks
themselves and place upon the
market their cotton as the trade
requires it, in other words, instead
OF selling their cotton from Sop
tember to December, we protest
that it is common sense and busi-
ness to perfect plan by which
we may sell it from Sept to Sept.
10 this unfortunate custom of
dumping our cotton on the mar
ket in so short time regardless of
demand-or price is Largely due
the unremunerative prices to the
