URGES HOLDING OF COTTON.
AN Appeal TO Farmers, Merchants
and Bankers.

The following has bee issued from
the state Office of the Southern Cot
ton Association:
To the Farmers, Merchants and
Bankers of South Carolina: In view
OF the fact that cotton-upon witch
the. prosperity of the State Is de-
pendent-has fallen from 13 cents at
the opening to- about 10 cents, and
It's tendency seems still downward, l
deem 1t my duty as secretary of the
Southern Cotton Association, South
Carolina division, to make this ap-
peal on behalf Of the business inter-
ests of South Carolina.
The loss to the State on account of
this depreciation in cotton can hardly
be realized; a loss of SIS to the bale,
or In case the State Of South Carolina
makes 100000 bales Of cotton
100000, far more than the as
sessed value of the property of most
any county in the State.
The decline in the price Of cotton
can be partially explained by the ex-
traordinarily tight money market,
which has been prevalent in certain
sections Of the United States for seve-
raj months. But an examination Of
the stock market will convince you
that the depreciation in cotton, which
than that Of any stocks whose values
are largely speculative.
This downward tendency of cotton
can be checked In only one way, and
that Is to withdraw the cotton from
the market. To continue to offer it
for sale under these circumstances is
but to assist those who are hammer
ing the price Of cotton down. A
Southern man who will sell his cot
ton under these circumstances, ex-
cept under the most pressing neces-
sity, Is nothing more or less than a
traitor to his country; his position Is
that Of the contemplate East Indian
who allied himself with the English
to shoot down his own people and as
sist in conquering his own country.
For the producers to have a voice
In fixing the price of his product is a
proposition so fair, so just and so
equitable that no right thinking per-
farmers desire or hope for. We are
passing through a crisis in the his
tory Of the South. If it's prosperity
is to continue the price Of cotton
must be kept up. In this fight we
cannot. like the stock gamblers of
Wall street, expect aid from the trca-
sury Of the United States, but we
must make this fight upon our own
resources. In fact, 1t Is the policy of
those high In the financial world to
depress the price Of cotton in order
that the foreign consumer may bling
his money and purchase the cotton
In the South and relieve the financial
situation in Wall street.
They tell us that the farmers of
Texas are demoralized. have be-
fore me dispatch from the Farmers
Association In Texas to the effect that
they are not selling cotton, but ex-
pect to hold 1t to the last ditch.
You cannot help the situation by
selling your cotton; the only thing
you can do Is to withdraw every bale
of cotton from the market until It's
downward course Is checked. The
mills actually need every bale you
produce, and If you are loyal to your
self and to the best interests of the
South you will hold your cotton and
receive better prices.
