What Japan is really capable of

thority affirmed recently that it
was physically impossible for ia
pan to put in the felt more than

Speech Of Hon. Harvie Jordan at
Greeuvilie, Monday,
(Grecnville News.

Applause and cheering greeted
the appearance OF President Jor-
dan, whom Mr.. Tindal declared
had saved the farmers from s
cent cotton.
MIR. Jordan disclaimed all credit
personally for having accomplish
ed anything through the cotton
movement. What had been done,
he said, was all due to those far
mers who, with brave, stout
hearts had stood by the principles
Of the association promulgated at
the New Orleans convention in
January.
The speaker plunged immed-
lately into his address. He de-
clard that the problem had moth
ing whatever TO do with the cult.
vation Of cotton, but it was the
marketing Of the staple that con-
cerned the South. That was the
great problem, and as yet it had
not approached solution. The
farmer and the Southern business
man, for that matter, knew prac-
tically nothing Of the consump-
ton Of his raw material. He was
ignorant Of the cost Of manufac
turing it into domcstics and before
he had been we'll informed as to
all these things he would be rob-
bed by the financial interests Of
the world. "You must know
where your cotton goes" said Mr.
Jordan, land that is one thing
the association proposes to do. |
will delay any nun to say,that cot
ton is not today worth intrinsical-
ly 10 cents pound"
Continuing the Speaker referred
to the absolute monopoly the
South exercises by nature in the
cotton world. Then the differ
ence between the price paid for
raw material and that demanded
for the manufactured article was
criticised by Mr. Jordan.
"Therc is something radically
wrong when cotton for which the
farmer receives ten cents can be
manufactured and sold back t,
him in the shape Of handkerchiefs
at ten cents each Think Of it?
