BOOST THE
MARKET.

| What is Greenvile. as CITY. 90
ing to do this fall to make it the big
gest cotton market in the Delta
The time IS now ripe for action. De
lay III this matter will be hazardous.
In but few short weeks cotton will
be moving and unless something is
done now to get larger cotton re-
ceipts this year the opportunity will
be lost, and the city will again rank
second or third with her sister cities
OF the Delta
Greenville has every advantage
that Greenwood, Yazoo City and
Clarksdale have, and on some points
even has the advantage of these
places. We have Business League
that should take the matter up and
act In conjunction with the Cotton
Exchange, whose members make it
the largest exchange in the Delta.
We have one of the largest com
presses IN the State, managed by the
Gulf Compress Company, who have
the reputation of doing everything
within their power TO get cotton We
have oil mills with every facility for
handing all the seed that can be pur-
chased for this market. We have
railroad and river transportation ia
c1lIties and new territory has been
added to the city's market by the
opening of the Delta Southern branch
from Percy to Richey
Everybody knows that cotton
makes or unmakes the prosperity OF
tins country The crop this wear
gives fulfllment of great promise.
Under these conditions why do no,
our cotton men, business men and
merchants get together and by CON
certed action go after more cotton.
and not only go after it. but get it,
There are almost Thousand and
one ways to start an active cam
palgn for cotton. A prize could be
offered Tor the first rs bales received.
and make the prize a sufficient in
ducement to the planter to get his
cotton here first. This will bring
the cotton IN with rush at the start.
Our cotton men should contribute
the fund for this prize. Our mer-
chants should get together and offer
goods as prizes for these first &c
bales OF cotton. Let each merchant
OTTER one article, either i'll groceries,
hardware, clothing, dry goods, in
tact, In every line There IS not a
merchant in the city but who can
contribute one article. Even the
scrIption free to the winning planter.
and The Times will willingly give a
years subscription.
Another thing, the Business League
should advertise this market extern
sively There is nothing so success
tul as advertising and publicity. and
now IS the time to starte the cam
paIgn tor more cotton. If there are
any set rules among our cotton men
that exclude cotton from this market,
or any barricade whatever, put every
one aside and let cotton come in.
Get to work, gentlemen.

Last week The Times contained a
little card stating that the only cheap
thing in GreenvIlle was printing.
While we had no desire to pass any
criticism on any merchant or his
wares, yet since then we have had
several complaints on that score.
There is no question IN our mind but
that the merchants Of Greenville do
business along legitimate lines and
that their prices are consistent with
the quality you purchase. and that IN
most cases their prices are cosmopol-

right last week. viz: Cheap means

The Times stands at all times for
the future of Greenville and will, as
it has IN the past, use strenuous ct
forts to improve it. We are glad to
note that many OF the citizens ap-
preciate our efforts to improve their
