SAYS COTTON WILL
AGAIN GO TO 10 CTS
Prominent Farm Authority Says
Price Cannot Stay Down.
If Farmers Will Stick Together Cotton
Will Sell For 10 Cents in Few
Months, Says Redding


r. j. Redding, of the Georgia
Experiment Station and who IS
considered good authority on a
wide range of agricultural topics
by the army of people who read
his writings in the Atlanta Gonsti-
tuition, has the following to say IN
regard to the price of cotton;
The cotton growers are face
to face with a problem, that differs
from the boil weevil quest zion in
the fact that it presents tPelf at
once to every farmer W ho has un-
sold cotton on hand. The late
meeting of the southern cotton
growers convention unanimously
recommended that no nicrd cotton
be sold at present price. or at any
price less than 10 cents. AThey in
sist that even If we are making q
Y, 900, 000-bale crop, it apuld be
worth and ought to conlnspd 10
cents a pound. Cotton tFfe ex-
perts, editors of prominel news
papers and others told th Farmers
year ago that the WORT needed
a II, 900, 00O-bale Amenean crop,
and that the manufactd rers would
take every bale of 1 at gYod
prices. Some advised the farm
ers to go in for such crop with
out fear or apprehension. They
did go in, without any particular
purpose to produce $4,000, 600
bale crop, but with the purpose
each to make as many bales as pos
sible. Our prominent men, even
including an ex-presidential candi-
date, now advise the farmers to
hold on to their unsold cotton, in
sisting that if the large remnant
still on hand be withheld from sale
that the market will react and go
back to 10 cents pound in few
months. | have already said that
| believe so, tool the farmers
will stand squarely together like a
stone wall and resist further eff
forts of the bears to keep down
the price. 1t is to be hoped that
they will-this one time more, get
together on the 10 cents a pound
or no sale proposition, as they did
on the bagging trust fight, NO
jute bagging for me, several years
ago. i do not see how any loss
can result from such a position.
Certainly it cannot reduce the
price still lower than now. On
the contrary, the natural and in
evitable tendency will be to elevate
prices. Cotton manufacturers
must have cotton. They made
money on last years prices,
or at least on prices not in excess
of u cents. Cotton spectators
must have cotton to cover con-
tracts. The business of buying
and selling cotton, that occupies
the brains, energy and money OF
so many capitalists, brokers and
spectators, cannot long continue
without some spot cotton. One
half the cotton dealers would as
soon see cotton again at 10 cents
as to continue at Z or s. and lit
tie rather | believe that if the
farmers will stick together to do
their part, their friends, the
bulls will do the rest, .anl, we
will see cotton selling alto cenls
in a few months just as if nothing
had happened to the contrary

GONE TO HIS REWARD
Passed Away at His Home in Lit
tie Rock Tuesday forming.
Was Governor From 1889 to 1898

Ever Elected Governor.

Little Rock. Dec. 20. -Ex Gov
ernor James 2. Eagle, one of the
most distinguished men of the

East Seventh street at 6:35 a.
m. today. Governor Eagle had
been iii three weeks with a COM
plication of ailments. He had been
in decline for several months, but
did not take TO his bed until three
weeks ago.
For several years Governor Ea-
gle has devoted his time to church
work and the supervision of his
plantation. He had recently as
sisted in holding numerous reviv-
al meetings throughout the state,
and his labors had always been at
tended by the most marked sue
cesseS.
Three weeks ago he became i'll,
and he seemed to realize that the
end was coming Last Friday Gov.
Eagle became unconscious, and
since that time had been in a COM
atose condition. He did not APP
pear to be conscious of anything
Transporting about him, and gradu-
ally grew weaker and weaker as
loved ones watched the life-tide
ebb out. Throughout the night
they watched and waited for the
white-robed angels to come for
him, and at 6:35 a. m. the sum-
mons came.
Governor Eagle had no children.
He is survived by one brother,
Col. w. H. Eagle, of Little Rock,
and three sisters, Mrs. Matte
Mrs. Mary j. Jones and
Mrs. Sallie Newer, all of Lonolle.
James p. Eagle was born in
Maury county, Tennessee, August

Kansas by his father, James Eagle,
whaln a lad of 2 years, who settled
in PulasR county, twenty-three
miles northwest IRON nNttle Rock,
engaging in farming.
He was reared on q farm, doing
all sorts of work, and was a p1F ac-
tical farmer.
He enlisted in the Confederate
army in 1861 as private solf iier,
and was in many battles and was
once badly wounded. In 1892 he
was elected to the legislature, be-
ing nominated for that office with
out his knowledge.
In 1874 he took an active}part in
the Brooks Baxter war, the result
of which was to throw off the OPP
pressive reconstruction state gov
eminent, and give back to the peo-
pie state government. He was
one of the three commissioners to
adjust the Baxter claims growing
out of the war.
In 1874 he was a member of the
constitutional convention which
framed the present constitution.
Subsequently he served two
terms in the legislature. For
a while he was speaker of the
house.
In 1888 he was elected governor
of the state, and in 1890 he was re-
elected by graat majority, re-
cording probably the largest vote
ever cast in the state for a COVER
nor.
