Farmers, Hold Your Cotton.
To 4he Edisor of the Dispstcb:

10 the Edlsof OF the Olspstco:
As the low price of cotton is the
great topic of conversation aud
seems to be the most vital question
that is sgitatipg the public 1T this
time, I ask you for email spsce to
give some advire to all those who
have cotton on hand.
There Is orly Two problems OF
vital Importance that faces the cotton
problem At this jaucture. First
Will the farmers and all Who have
cotton in warehouses; be able to hold
sheir cotton until they can obtain 8
fair price for it or not? Second
Can the spinners starve out the
farmers of the South until they can
buv the cotton at their OVID price,
I have been engaged in the cotton
business for more than thirty years
and for the past fif'een years l have
made it special study and I have
found that my Judgment bss been
just about as good as anyone else.
Evidently the price of cotton todsy
is below the cost of production and
when any commodity il the South
sells below the cos5 of production it
i, only question of time the price
will advance. The South today is in
3 better fnancial condition to hold
their cotton for 80 or 80 days than
it has been for 20 years. The
