SUMTER. s. O.. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 1906.
COTTON FIXED AT TEN CENTS.
Growers Recommended Not to Sell
Under That Figure.

Hot Springs, Ark, Sept. THE
executive committee Of the Southern
Cotton Association late this afternoon
recommended to its members and cot
ton growers Of the South that no cot
ton be sold during the present season
at less than 10 cents per pound. In a
resolution adopted by the committee
it is stated that the crop is in a state
of deterioration, and for that reason
no estimate Of the crop was made.
The resolution states, however, that
the committee is satisfied that the
crop willsn not be as large as the cur
rent estimate. The placing Of the
minimum price at ten cents was in
the nature of a victory for the con-
servative element of the association.
The resolution adopted by the COM
nittee which was in the shape Of an
address to the public as follows:
''Inasmuch as we, the cotton grow
ers of the South, know that there has
been a great deterioration in the cot
ton crop since August Is, and,
"Whereas the consensus Of opinion
of the members OF this committee is
that the deterioration is still going on
we deem it unwise to make an esti-
mate Of the crop at this time. We are
satisfied that the crop viii not be as
large as the current estimate.
eve, therefore, suggest, and urge
upon all our members and producers
throughout the South not to sell their
cotton at a figure less than the cost
of production.
"We call upon all Southern inter
ests to aid in maintaining for all time
this price as q minimum. We urge the
necessity of marketing the crop slow
ly and only on an advancing market,
and withdraw all cotton from the
market at every decline.
The committee took up the charges
against Secretary Richard Cheatham,
of dealing in futures while an officer
of the Association. After a spirited
debate, in which J. A. Brown, of
North Carolina, led the opposition,
the committee decided TO go into ex-
ecutive session to consider the char
ges. Mr.. Brown then left the room
in which the committee were meeting
and announced that he had refused
to sit in executive session on the mat
ter.
Mr.. Brown has maintained through
out the sessions that they should be
open and not executive.

| the trusts and combines. Neverthe-
less, under this statute the presiden,
proceeded, and has already established
the fact that this law is sufficient to
protect the individual rights of the
citizen against the remorseless en-
croachments of these powerful COM
binations. The statute against the
Northern Securities combine the pa
per trust, the Otis elevator trust. the
salt trust. the beef trust, the South
ern railway combine, and numerous
other combinations, has resulted in
bringing these organizations to rec
ognition of the law of the land. and
has established again. beyond ques-
ton. that this is a government of the
people. by the people and for the peo-
pie. and that there sail be no power
under the flag superior to the demands
and obligations found upon the statute
books.
But this particular work of the re-
publican party, through it's president.
has not alone been its distinguishing
feature. The public life of Theodore
Roosevelt has been a marvellous one
crowded with stirring incidents ana
thrilling achievements. Fate and gen.
ius have combined to make his career

their power and dignity. have yielded
to his plans. The dead letter of the
statute has felt the vitalizing touch of
his restless and searching energy. But.
when all the fruits of his matchless
endeavors have been gathered. none
will be richer in benefit to the Ameri-
can people than his persistent and un-
compromising fight for cleaner poll
tics. He has gone over the heads of
the bosses and appealed to the great
heart of the people. and they have
stood by him. They will tell you in
