THE 1soe-o7 COTTON CROP.
(Atlanta Georgian.)

The American cotton crop for the
season Of 1906-07, as compared with
all previous crops, is bumper yield,
and yet it is not of sufficient size to be
burdensome. From the first bale mar
keted to the present time, it has NOV
ed from the plaptations to the mills
at pace that has surprised the trade,
and in greater quantities than the rail-
roads in the belt have been able to
move it in manner satisfactory to
purchasers
Despite this heavy movement, here
tofore an influence making for a very
low average price, the raw material
at no time during the present season
has shown decided weakness. All ef-
forts to break prices to level below
the views Of the producer have failed,
due entirely to keen competition for
an estimated bumper crop, indicating
that consumption is keeping pace
with the increase in production,
though prices are yet below the basis
on which spinners are under contract
for goods extending we'll into the COM
ing year. A decrease in the move
ment, however, would soon remedy
this, and for the remnant Of the pres
ent crop much better prices could be
obtained.
In the Lancashire district new mills
for the manufacture of cotton cloths
are springing up. Nearly twenty new
mills have been begun the present
year. During the past seven years
more than a hundred have been es-
tablished near Manchester. These
new factories, together with a large
number of extensions and additions
to existing mills, when fully complet-
ed, will have increased the manufac-
turing capacity of this district by TO-
00v,O00 spindles.
New mills have been built and addi-
tions have been made to the old mills
in the north and the south.
The increase in spindleage in the
Lancashire district is attributed to
the estimates of a record American
crop this year. The year 1905, the
previous record breaking crop, wit
messed the greatest boom to British
spinning in recent years, forty large
factories having been added in that
year, against only two mills in 1902

Important Information.

Since the election Of officers in De-
cember l have failed to get the name
and address Of all local and county
presidents.
This is causing lots of union men
to miss important information.
Organizers and lecturers should i'm
press the necessity of the locals send
ing in the names and addresses of
their presidents.
Remember that you lose by neglect
ing this. r. F. DUCKWORTH,

The next regular state meeting of
the Georgia division of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America, which was set at the last
regular meeting to be held In Atlanta
about the last of July or the first of
August, will be held in July.
The state executive committee has
permanently agreed on July "a, 25

1t was the expressed wish of the
brethren in discussing the question of
changing the time for. holding our
state meeting, to have it after the
crops were laid by and before gather

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

"Mr. Bryan thinks that the important
thing in selecting a candidate is what a
man stands fol-" says the Milwaukee
Sentinel. "How about a man who stands
for free siver and government owner
ship2" These objections to Mr.. Bryan
may not be so hard to dispose Of as they
superiicially seem. The number prom
inent republicans, dead and alive, who
have been silver men, makes long roll.
John Sherman was q silver man, and the
author Of the silver purchase act. One
Of the most rugged performances Of
William Mckinley was to stand guard
over an Ohio repGblican convention to
keep it from discrediting silver. Judge
Stanley Matthews made speech In the
senate advocating the payment OF United
States bonds in silver dollars the same
silver dollars we have today. The whole
republican party would be for tbe free
coinage Of silver now had it not been for
the discovery and development Of gold
mines. Mr.. Bryan is not free silver
man now. He has said as much himself.
AS to government ownership, he really
seems to be no more radical than Pres
ident Roosevelt's recent speech at the
jamestown exposition. Cincinnati En-
quirer.
