Macon, Special.-Harvie Jordan. of
Monticello, Ca. president OF the
Southern Cotton Growers Protective
Association. mas issued an address to
the cotton producers Of the South in
which he says, among other things:
"The producers are to be congratll-
lated for the firm stand they have al
rca:'y taken to market the crop SLOW
~, and that fact alone has prevented
the price from falling to cents dur
ing the month of October. The crop is
about gathered, debts generally are
paid and it is no longer absolutely
necessary 10 sell-the balance OF the
crop. The ginners' report recently is
sued from the United States census
bureau indicated that up to October
18th only 6,400,0G0 bales of cotton had
been ginned. This report clearly indi-
Gates that this crop will not exceed
II 100000 bales, if it reaches that fig-
ure. The spinners can we'll afford to pay
I the producers Il cents per pound for
every bale of American short staple
cotton made this season and do profl-
table business for the stockholders.
The price OF yarns has advanced .
cents per pound within the past 50
days and an unprecedented demand
for cotton goods exists, while stocks
are generally lower than they have
been for the past 20 years. The duty
Of the producers is plain and simple.
They have crowded the markets for
the past two months, congesting every
facility for handling cotton and play
ing into the hands Of the bear specula-
tors and spinners. The thing to do
now is to give the markets and ship
rers rest during the next 60 days and
allow present stocks of spot cotton to
be gotten, out of the way. Let the
spinners who are living from hand to
mouth run short of cotton and force
them into the markets as active buy
ers. Let the bear spectators begin
To feel the lash of the bull operators
when the latter call for the deliveries
CT spot cotton which the former Will
be unable to deliver.
Let every holder of cotton stop SELL
ing cotton and contemplate results.
Let each holder determine to put no
more cotton on the market until prices
advance and never sell bale on de-
pressed market.
LET county meetings be held all over
the belt, and strong and active steps
be taken to defend this most valuable
agricultural product from, the rapa-
cious greed of the selfish spectators.
Let every man who still holds a bale
af cotton in his possession join in
these county or. local meetings, anu
agitatc the Importance OF this step
among his neighbors. to the end that
success in the near future will be as
surel. We have held our OWE well 80
far, but We can do much better and
easily advance the price from to 3
cents by persistently refusing to sell
aud tightening up present receipts
