TO MEET IN ASHEVILLE.
Southern Cotton Association Will Fix
Price OF Cotton.

President Harvie Jordan OF the
Southern Cotton Association, has is
sued a call to the various State sub
associations OF meet in Asheville Sep
TENDER 6, the object of the convention
being to fix the price of the staple.
President Jordan says in his ctrcu-
cal calling the meeting:
THE present plan of the foreign
spinners, it now appears is to crush
the Southern Cotton Association and
it's efforts at the opening of the fall
season and force the farmers to sacri-
flee their cotton on a depressed mar
ket brought about by combination and
concert of action among the spinners
and bear" spectators. Every imag-
Unable device known to human inge-
nuity will be brought to bear to de-
press prices during the next four
months.
1.-THE Southern Cotton Association
will meet at Asheville, n. c., Septem-
Der 9Th, and at that time will fix q
minimum price on the present crop
which will be fair and just to both the
producers and SpinnerS based upon
a carefully prepared report on the con-
dition of the crop up to August 18th,
and the estimated percentage of yield,
as compared with 1904. When this
minimum price for spot cotton is fixed
by the representatives. of the different
States on September 9Th at ASheville,
every producer of cotton in the South
will be called upon to stand by the
action of the association and force the
consuming world to pay "a fair price
for the staple. There will be no sur
plus of raw cotton from the crop of
1904. What is left over unconsumed
on September 1st will be only small
reserve stock. The mills are now COLI
Stunning 100000 bales per week and
the demand for cotton goods is enor-
nous at high prices. The farmers are
in good financial shape to protect their
staple, and if money is needed South
ern bankers are amply able and quite
willing to finance the situation.
THE producers have just won not
able victory in the face of the largest
crop ever produced in this country ana
by concert of action forced prices up
from cents in January to 10 cents on
July Sd, encountering each day the
most intense opposition.
1.-THE present crop indicates short
yield compared with 1904, while the
consumption of cotton will go forward
undated for the next eighteen months.
Present prices for spot cotton are no,
high. They represent only small
profit to the producers.
eff the fight must come it will be
forced by the spinners and Will be met
by determined and effective opposition
on the part of the producers. The crop
of 1905 must not be sacrificed Let
every man measure up to the highest
standard of Southern manhood and do
his full duty. The mills have got to
have our cotton, and if they want to
stop buying at present prices we can
stop selling and see whose corn Grip
and smokehouses will last the longest,
