To Southern Cotton Producers: =
Prompt and definite action on the
part of producers and holders of spot
cotton all over the cotton belt is alb
solutely essential at this time to
break the present powerful "bear"
combinations that are so perfectly
organized to depress prices. The
open season has permitted the farm
ers to gather and gin fully 80 per
cent of the crop by November LIST,
and enough cotton has been rushed
upon the markets to largely meet all
demands of the spectators. While
it is true more of the staple has been
held back this year than ever before,
the daily receipts at interior mar
kets and ports are still too heavy to
force an advance in prices equivalent
to the true value of the staple. The
producers are to be congratulated
for the firm stand they have already
taken to market the crop slowly, and
that fact alone has prevented the
price from falling to eight cents
during the month of October. The
crop is about gathered, debts gener-
ally are paid and it is no longer alb
solutely necessary to sell the balance
of the crop. The ginners report re-
Gently issued from the q. S. Census
Bureau indicated that up to October
18th, only 100000 bales of cotton
had been ginned. This report clearly
indicates that this crop will not ex-
coed 100000 bales, if it reaches
that figure. The spinners can well
afford to pay the producers - cents

short staple cotton made this season

WAR ON BAD FERTILIZERS.
Clemson Trustees Wage it-Five Indict-
ments Found in South Carolina and
Others to Follow.

| OIuSIS CO 3OuOWs
Columbia, S. O., Nov. 15.-At it's
meeting here to-day the board of
trustees of Clemson College took up
the matter of indictments against a
number of fertilizer companies for
violation of the new fertilizer law
as to guaranteed quality. Many of
these goods have been found deficient
and a number of indictments have
been entered in the courts and still
others are to be asked. There were
representatives of nine fertilizer con-
Germs before the board asking that
five suits be dropped because of al
legged defects in the statue, the con-
tention being that the five violations
had, for the most part, been techni-
cal. The board refused to do this,
but it was agreed to continue the
present prosecutions until there is a
report from the committee, which
was appointed from the board to-day,
to ask the next Legislature to furth-
er construe the new law. Additional
indictments are to be entered against
the fertilizer concerns as fast as
practicable. The request of repre-
s%entatives of several companies I'M
der indictment that present prosecu-
lions be mol pressed was refused and
the board also declined to stop the
issuing of other warrants. Addition
al inspectors were authorized to-day
and more chemists were employed to
keep up with samples sent in by the
so that the farmers may
be- able to get what they pay for.
The Clemson trustees have the mat
ter in charge, as the fertilizer tax
goes to that institution.

An Appeal to the Tobacco Growers Of
Granville and Adjoining Counties.

mass meeting of the tobacco farmers
of Granville and other counties at
Oxford on Monday, the 28th of No
vember, 1904, promptly at II o'clock
a. m. S. @. Adams, President of the
Interstate Tobacco Growers Pro-
tective Association, will be present
and address the meeting, relative to
the Importance of the tobacco farm
ers organizing in this Association.
Brother Adams has been to this
county before, and has distinguished
himself a a good speaker, and has
done much good in inducing many of
our best citizens to partially organ
ize clubs with several members.
We earnestly urge the executive
committee in each township as we'll
as every tobacco grower and friend
interested, in this and adjoining
counties to go to Oxford on day
above mentioned and hear Brother
Adams's address. He has no axe to
grind except what is common and ap-
plies to every tobacco grower in the
betterment of his and our condition |
as tobacco growers. We want no
failure for want of a crowd. Let |
everybody come, and let us have a
meeting that will enthuse the farm
ers to immediate action throughout
the State.
This Association demands nothing
but what is right, just and equitable
IN the sight of God and man. God
is on our side for He is always on
the side of Justice and against op-
preston when it strikes the rank and
file and includes the poor farmer who
is simply exchanging dollars at a
loss; costing 10 cents per pound to
raise tobacco, everything included
Warehouse charges, etc.,, delivering
his tobacco to the American Tobacco
Company at about Z cents average

the past 60 days and an unprecedel
ted demand for cotton goods exist
while stocks generally are lower tina
they have been for the past twent
years. The duty of the producers
plain and simple. They have CROWD
ed the markets for the past tw
months, congesting every facility fo
handling cotton and playing into tn
hands of the bear spectators an
spinners. The thing to do now is t.
give the markets and shippers a res
during the next 60 days and ALLOW
present stocks of spot cotton to b,
gotten out of the way. Let the spin
ners who are living from hand tt
mouth run short of cotton and force
them into the markets as active buy
ers. Let the bear spectators begir
to feel the lash of the bull operators
when the latter call for the deliveries
of spot cotton which the former will
be unable to deliver.
Let every holder of cotton abso-
lutely stop selling and sit down at
home and quietly contemplate re-
suits. Let each holder determine to
put no more cotton on the market
until prices advance and never sell a
bale On a depressed market.
Port receipts are already falling
off, due to the resistance offered by
the producers, and if united concert
of action is secured all along the
line the fight will be whipped and
Southern farmers will demonstrate
their ability to become important and
factors in fixing the price
1T which their staple shall be sold.
Let county meetings be held all

for his side of the statement from

of marine. was informed recently that
several ships were chartered at Hull by
the Japanese government to attack the
Russian Baltic squadron and that IL
Swedish vessels had also been charter
ed by japan for the same purpose.
The Japenese minister said that no
ship had been chartered by his govern
ment from Hull, or elsewhere, to d.
stroy the Baltic squadron. The char
teiing and arming of IS ships. Baron
Hayashi said. would be impossible in
these waters. 1t would have been neces

there are not enough Japanese here.
At Hull, the minister. added, there
are two Japanese studying the curing
of fish. Minister Haashi said the whole
story must have been cOncOcted in or

world.
