We understand that the action of the

to extending the park fence through the
square and thereby cutting off the possi-
bility of using the public reservation as
wagon yard, is being severely criticised.

Spinners are beginning to figure on the
present action of the planters, and will
soon force the hands of the buyers for
deliveries of the raw material. A gem
eral tie-up cannot last long without fore
ing prices upward. The crop in many
States is almost gathered. 1t is all open.
Many gins are shutting down or running
on half time. Why should the pro-
ducers allow a few spectators who are
bearing the market to frighten them into
submission?
Victory is already in sight. The
Farmers Union and all other farmers
organizations are agreed OF the IL cen Is
minimum. Stand firm yet awhile longer,
aud you will get it. Pay no attention to
the big crop estimates. Pay no atten-
tion to any advice to sell. Store your
cotton and keep it dry. If you need
money, your local banks will advance
you eight cents pound on your cotton.
Stand firm and don't give an inch until
the fight is won.
Yours truly,

APPEAL. FROM HARvIE JORDAN.
Makes Call on Farmers Not to Give an Inch
Until Fight Has Been Won.

Atlanta, October 2L.-A considerable
part of the new crop found its way into
the markets SO long as prices remained
above 10 cents, but since the drop below
10 cents per pound, nearly three weeks
ago, the producers throughout the entire
cotton belt have called halt and we
now find the spot situation absolutely
tied up. The port receipts have been
heavy during that time, but this has
fkteen due to the hurrying forward OF
shipments that were purchased prior to
the recent depression. Very little cot
ton is now being offered for sale any
where, and what is being sold is cotton
that is largely in the hands of negro
tenants who pay but little attention to
the price or the course of the market.
Merchants, bankers, guano dealers and
others have Joined with the planters in
resisting market which at the present
time is too low and which has been de-
pressed by manipulation in speculation.
There can be but one method for adj
vancing the spot market, and that is for
>the producers to stand firm and refuse
Vto part with their cotton until prices do
reach satisfactory figures. The Southern
Cotton Association, through its general
executive committee, in session at Ashe-
vile, N. c., September 6. after full and
thorough investigation of the situation
from every standpoint, decided that III
cents per pound was a reasonable mini
mum price for this crop.
This price can be secured by the
farmers if they will stand firmly for it.
The market for the next two months will
be regulated according to the extent of
the cotton that is rushed upon the buyers
/ by the producers. 1t is now being urged
from many sections that the people who
are able to do so get together in each
&county and raise funds sufficient to buy
l{in all the cotton that is forced to sale
land store it for higher prices. This is
Ilalready being done in some counties, and
If it should become general it would
prove an important factor in advancing
the prices.
We face another crisis, and the farmers
must meet the emergency that confronts
Them. Dry goods are advancing in price,
ewhile the price of the raw material is
Mailing. Mills have sold ahead from six
to ten months, and they have no surplus
Ito fall back on, and must have the staple.
The raw cotton is in the hands of the
producers, and all they have to do to ad-
vance prices is to sit steady in the boat
for short time.
Exporters are already getting uneasy.

extradition of Ben Bennett, who is an
escape from Hampton county and a
prisoner of note. Bennett was sent to
prison for life in 1895 for the murder of
John Lightsey. Governor Ellerbe was
asked to pardon the convict and Cover
nor McSweeney was sent nine petitions.
Burrell Thomas, also a convict, testified
that he and not Bennett had struck the
fatal blow. A letter from Bennett to
Governor McSweeney under date of Oc-
tober 6. 1901, said if pardoned he would
take his family from the State never to re-
turn if this was desired and an agreement
was made. The public is familiar with his
course since he was pardoned Ho will
now have to serve five years for killing
his wife at Hampton, and then go back
on his first sentence.
