ASSOCIATION MUST WORK.
President Jordan Declares That Past
High Prices Of Cotton Have Made
Organization Indifferent.

.
In a signed statement issued Satur-
day. President Harvie Jordan, Of the
Southern Cotton association, declares
that activity In its ranks has been al
lowed to slumber, and he urges the
organisation to renew its activity for
a better price for cotton.
i Said Mr.. Jordan:
THE adherents Of the policies and
purposes OF the Southern Cotton asso-
clifton have been somewhat Indifferent
to the cause during the past eighteen
months. Activity in the ranks of the
local county associations have been
allowed to slumber. and the spirit Of
cooperative effort between farmers,
merchants and bankers has not been
% pronounced as the two years pre-
cedins 1907. This apparent indif-
ference Uf the farming and business
interests Of the south, heretofore
mart hing so conspicuously under the
Nag Of the Southern Cotton associa-
ton, has been due almost entirely to
two things. viz: That up to January 1,
1908. the cotton trade Of the world
was never better. and the price of spot
cotton fairly satisfactory to growers,
merchants and bankers. Under these
conditions the people appeared salts
fed and the power and influence of
the association which had been so con-
spicuous In forcing prices for spot cot
ton from six cents to eleven and
twelve Gents was Allowed to remain
largely ih formative. but not very
active stage.
conditions are now rapidly chang
Ing for the worse. and unless the
strong active forces OF the south are
again rehabilitated under the flag Of
the association. the south may face
next December somewhat the same
cha4acter Of troubles which menaced
~ III the winter Of 1904. The cotton
trade In this country IL already seri-
ously affected and cables from my cor

Indicate that II spot cotton continues
to 90 down In price the cotton trade

'pectiative interests operating on the

WHERE PRICES Run HIGH.

The late Henry 0. Havemeyer," said a sugar
jobber of New Orleans, possessed in a marked
degree the kindly virtue of charity.
'On my last visit to New York-it some
months before the panic-I spoke harshly of
a millionaire who had been accused of double
dealing in il banking transaction.
said Mr.. Havemeyer, Let us not condemn
this man unheard. Remember that his guilt
has not yet been proved. nor has he yet told
his own side of the story
Then Mr.. Havemeyer laughed and said that
in the most untoward conditions accused men
were often able to clear themselves. He told
of young girl who a week or so after Christ
mas complained bitterly to her mother:
Mamma l doubt if I shall he happy with
George I fear he is of a deceptive nature.
