ate with our holding agencies Of
form organizations Of their own,
appoint committees to confer
with like committees from other
bodies and let that general con-
ference be known as q cotton
congress. This would unity every
interest in the South in one har-
monious cooperative plan for
general prosperity Of our own
common country.
Each farmer, each business
man, each professionalism, each
commission house and each bank
could invest ina few bales Of
cotton at the present low price
and put such cotton into bad
cotton account, thus taking itoff
OF the market indefinitely. Such
action would result in advancing
the price Of the remainder of the
crop until itWillsell for more than
the whole crop. With the price
advanced this dead supply of
cotton could be sold for a profit
on the investment. Such results
can be reached by cooperation
and we urge upon every Southern
man who loves his home and his
country to get busy. We believe
that not a bale of this crop should
sell for less than 121a cents.

sincerely appreciates.
The generous words of praise
from the coed people of Rankin

and is an incentive to strive to

Although containing 36 pages,
all home print, it was impossible
to mention every one of our

achieved success in other fields
of endeavor, but her people in
the early days were the right
kind of pioneers, during the
wars were soldiers equal to the
best, since the rebellion have
overcome all obstacles and are on
the high road to permanent pros
perity, and whether in the peace

Holding Cotton.

Many farmers are inclined to
bold their crops ofncotton for a
better price.
The shutting down of the
mills in the Manchester England
district has had it's effect on
prices and will until the strike,
causing the closing of the mills
is settled, and those mills resume
operations.
The stocks cotton on hand, the
probable yield of this years and
the short stocks of manufactured
goods indicate a higher value
later on as inevitable, because
supply and demand will bring
higher prices. The closing of
mills and the presidential election
make it very uncertain as to
when cotton will advance it
may be next spring.
Warehouses for storage and
banks loaning money on cotton
storage warehouse receipts will
enable many a man to hold his
cotton, whether it will be wise to
do SO The News does not venture
an opinion. Merchants and
banks have made advances to
produce the crop in many in
stances and are fairly entitled to
their money when the amount is
due. A large number of farmers
will realize more than ever this
fall that the suicidal policy of
not raising meat and bread at
home to raise cotton with will
ruin them and will get out of the
old rut. The merchant and
banker do not set the price Of
cotton, but in many instances
the supply merchant strains his
credit to furnish 12 cent bacon
and 80 cent corn to enable a
customer to pull Through until
fall, the banker often has to put
up his securities to extend like
accommodations.
To win the fight for higher
prices is to sell enough, or bor-
row enough, to pay up those
debts that are due and hold the
balance.

PRICE or COTTON IS
BoTHERlNG THE UNION
The National Committee Issues
An Address 10 the Farmers
of South.

sent out Dy the cOtJOn cOmmlCCee
of the National Farmers Union,
and will be read with interest
and perhaps with profit by every
farmer in the State:
Is there any good reason why
the cotton producer should sell
his product today for three cents
per pound less than he did three
months ago? We do not think
there is. We are farther removed
from the panic now than we
were then. Business conditions
have improved in all lines. The
demand for cotton goods has in
creased wonderfully during that
period. While cotton is too cheap
to sell, the unusual has happened
in the price of grain and meat.
Corn has maintained it's high
level up to harvest time and is
now selling for $1.O0, and flour
has advanced fifteen cents per
barrel this week. Meat is selling
at midsummer prices. So it is
with almost everything except
cotton. There is no legitimate
cause for this lethargy and con-
sequent loss of many millions to
the South.
/ South Carolina and Georgia
will produce much less cotton
than last year. Alabama, Miss
issippi,, Louisiana and Arkansas
are short, and Oklahoma crops
are late and very much less than
one year ago. Texas alone shows
a small increase, but her gains
cannot make up the loss in other
states.
The visible supply of cotton
was considerably less September
1st, 1908, than it was September
1st, 1907. The invisible supply
and mill stocks are smaller than
for years. The amount of old
cotton still in the hands of the
farmers has been very much ex-
aggerated. There is not enough
in their hands to figure materi-
ally in the worlds supply. The
stocks of goods are depleted all
along the line from the local
merchant to the factory floors.
A small visible supply, a reduced
invisible supply, crop no larger,
or not as large as last year, the
retail merchants shelves bare,
the jobbers shelves bare, the
mill stocks depleted combined
make a good showing for higher
iprices.
To make the situation more
acute we have an increased de-
lmand for all kinds of cotton
| goods.
In our opinion this is the op-
portunity of the South to assert
herself and bring general pros
perity to her citizens. This is a
time when concert action will
count for much. Cotton today
should be selling for 12H cents
if natural conditions had any
thing to do with its price. It is
now selling for less because.
growers are pessimistic about the
price and sell too freely. The
slow marketing of the crop will
certainly advance the price. Fair
values will benefit every interest
in the South as much as it will
the cotton producers themselves.
We feel that every patriotic citi-'
zen should and will cooperate
with us in our effort to market
this crop as the world needs It,
instead Of following that most
senseless policy Of giving the
world 9 twelve months supply
IN three months. The farmers
who are not members Of our Or
ganization, the supply merchants,
the cotton commission merchants,
the country and city banks and
the Professional men should a.
operate with rs but they cannot

Rryan's Manly Letter.

President Roosevelt was very
severe in the remarks he made
to the press scoring Senator
Foraker for being in the pay of
the Standard Oil Co., while a
member of the United States
Senate. He was equally so as to
Governor G. N. Haskell, of Okla
homa, Treasurer of the National
Democratic Campaign Com
!mittee. Governor Haskell says
he is not guilty and the man
making the charge says it was
made on only hearsay evidence.
Mr.. Bryan's open letter to Mr..
Roosevelt that he furnish proof
Of the charges against Governor
Haskell was dignified, frank and
very positive. Evena president
cannot afford to ignore the fact
that the accused man has rights,
and it is up to Mr.. Roosevelt to
do the manly and fair thing. But
can we expect it of one who has
never corrected the slanderous
misstatements he made cf Ex-
President Davis, which even
though he might have written in
ignorance, he has since learned
were untrue and yet he has not
had the true manhood to say SO.

North Yakima, Wash, May 23.-Af-
ter almost continuous illness since the
middle OF January Ralph X. Nichols,
clerk of Yakima county, died here
Wednesday afternoon, aged 65 years.
For two weeks Mr. Nichols condition
had been hopeless ana he had suf-
fered greatly.
His malady was caused, 1t is believ-
ed, by a wound made by a poisoned
arrow received in a fight with some
Indians In Arizona, while a railroad
surveyor. This wound never healed
and was kept open by daily dressings.
Last winter the poison of the wound
got into Nichols system and a gener-
al breakdown followed,
Nichols was educated In Massachu-
sets and went to California in the
early days. BY turns he was surveyor,
sheriff and attorney. He made and
lost three fortunes and leaves suffi-
cient property for the needs of his
sole surviving relative, a niece. In

years ago. Nichols had held several
offices with credit. He was a promi-
nent Mason and recently organized
