farmers and Planters Masters Of
Situation.

TO close observer OF the business
world of the present day, the trend Of
! affairs seems to be towards corporation,
combination, aud concentration, render
ing it possible for organized capital to
eli inmate ruinous competition and to
control at will tho price OF commodities
80 that at least fair profit may be &C.
curel to the producer.
If the cotton crop OF the South could
be concentrated In the hands of a few
men Of rare Judgment and experience to
disposed OF to the best advantage for
the benefit of all; bat while always will
ing to trade at a fair price, they would
never be forced to sell to meet pressing
needs, in the hap-bazard manner In
which IL has been and Is still being
marketed In the interior, the farmers
and planters interest would be greatly
promoted.
AS every undertaking has to have q
beginning, we offer as a suggestion that
as the area In which staple cotton can
be successfully grown is circnmscribed
and the quantity produced is limited, it
is possible II properly managed, it might
be controlled and price regulated by
holders.
The shortage OF high grade staples
last season, necessarily means an extra
ordinary demand during early part Of
present season for that kind OF cotton,
which will mean excessive premiums
until the pressing needs Of the spinners
are supplied and consequent reaction
when it is over.
1t Is right here that our weakness
lies and which can be overcome only by
proper organization.
The writer has no panacea TO offer for
boil wecvil Or any other evil that may
inflict the cotton plant, but he has a
plan by which IL adopted the very best
result can be obtained for staple cotton.
And IL 1t works successfully it might be
extended to all kinds of cotton.
To anyone who may be interested, an
inquiry at this Office will put them In
communication with the author Of this
plan.

agreed on this hour, and had
agreed to name definite hour so

The vote was on the motion to

this very clearly in his speech
tonight. He made bright and
