President A. J. McKinnon, of the
N. c. Division Of the Southern Cot
ton Association, has written the fol-
lowing timely LETTER to Merchants
Associations, Commercial Clubs and
Chambers of Commerce:
Maxton, N. c., April II, 1908.
Dear Sir: desire to call your at
tention to and ask your cooperation,
and through you the cooperation of
your members, and through your
members the cooperation of their
customers in an attempt to increase
the food crop in the State this year,
and in this way guard against a
threatened danger Of more cotton
than the world will take care of at
paying prices. You, your members
and their customers know that our
general prosperity largely depends on
the price of the cotton crop. You
also know that trade conditions in
cotton goods are greatly depressed
and indications are that consumption
vii! be comparatively small for some
time to come. Therefore a large
cotton crop would mean low prices.
You know further that we are going
to need food crops, whether cotton
brings much Or little.
The price Of grain has been mads
and is now high. Then, in the in.
terest Of the. prosperity of our OWE
State won't you use your valuable
influence as above suggested in
trying to increase the acreage in
food crops this year? If you will
interest your members and each
member will interest bis Gus
toners, there is no telling the gooc
that may be accomplished in 1905
along this line.
Yours very truly,

Kf. Dunn al Williamson.
(r!ews and Observer.)

Williamson. N. c., April 16.-Al-
bion Dunn, ESQ, Of Scotland Neck,
came yesterday to make speech on
prohibition. A large crowd, taxing
The capacity Of the court house, greet
ed the speaker in the evening. Bur
Yas 4. Critcher introduced Err Drnn,
ia a few appropriately formed eX-
pr>*sions. saying it gave him pleas
ure TO introduce to a Williamson
audience a man, first Of all. who
stood for the great issue OF prohibl-
ton which is the burning question
before the people OF North Carolina:
second, having known Mr.. Dunn
when a student at Wake Forest Col
lege he knew him to be a speaker Of
eloquence and force, having seen
him leader in his classes, and rep
resentative Of the college in the de-
bates between Trinity and Wake
Forest for several years.
Mr.. Dunn delivered a speech for
prohibition which was typical Of his
strong young manhood. His method
Of presentation was principally argu-
mentative, and his reasoning was
forceful and logical. He showed the
various ways wherein prohibition
was practical; that it does prohibit
the Incorporate use Of intoxlcants,
it does not hurt business, it does ele-
vate citizenship, and does not increase
taxes. He closed his discourse with
an appeal to the voters Of Martin
county, presenting to them for what
prohibition stood, and asking them
to cast their votes on the right on
1.-THE twenty-sixth of May.
The prohibition movement in Mar
tin county is coming to the front,
growing daily. Such speakers as
Governor Glenn, the late DR.. Mo-
ment, Lieutenant-G Winston,
J. A. Oates and Albion Dunn are
sufficiently strong to change the SEN
timent against prohibition in any
community, and it is believed that
the appearance in our midst of the
above named gentlemen means a
change of opinion of the voters OF
Martin county, and that their infiu.
ence will be felt on the day Of cleo
ton,

Memphis, Tenn, April Is, 'Q3.
To the Cotton Planters of the
South.
Cotton to-day reached the
lowest point since Jan /. 1908,
except from November to Hay
of the big crop year Of 1G045,
when it sold two cents perpound
lower than this. What has
caused this decline OF three
cents PEI pound in spite OF the
fact that the cotton crop OF the
world is about 1900, 900 short
Of last years crop? The only
answer that can find is Lack
OF Confidence" The Retailer
is not buying except as he needs
the goods, the Johber is doing
the Same, consequently the
mills have no orders ahead,
while last year, and fo, sevnral
years past, they have had
orders booked from three to six
AiOutHS III ADVANCE.
What causes this lack of con-
fidence? They are afraid We
will raise q bumper crop Of cot
ton this year. Why are they
afraid OF a large crop? They
look at the past. In 1903 we
had a short crop and good
prices, which was followed by
a large acreage and good sea-
sons and bumper crop. The
next year, 1866, we had a
short crop and good prices,
which was again followed by
q large acreage and a bumper
crop. Had it not been for the
September storm in the Mississ-
lppi Valley and the exceptional
ly good trade the market would
probably have gone to eight
cents or under for that crop.
We got a good average price
for the good grades in the crop,
and a large acreage was SET
aside for cotton last season
but owing to the weather dur
ing planting time the acreage
was cut some and crop poor in
Texas and Louisiana enabled
Us to get good price for the
most Of this crop. A month
ago every indication was tina
we would have a large acreage
this season, and the people die
not care to place heavy orders
for cotton goods, knowing tha-
with large acreage and fail
season we would produce more
cotton than the world needed
and the price of cotton goods
would decline. They are goot
business men, and you can
fool them.
How can we restore conf
dence? In place of planting
the same acreage as last sea
son in cotton plant Is per cent
less. If the weather condition
should be unfavorable for til,
growing crop and it should turf
ont million bales less it woult
sell for fifteen cents and brini
& total Of nearly $500, 900, OOC
and add to this the value Of til
feed crops that can be grow
On the acreage intended for cot
ton and it will give us anothe
S5O,OOO,O0O.
1t is not too late yet to plan
Corn, Alfalfa, Sorghum, Cane
Millett Or Cow Peas for hay
Or it will pay you to let tn
land lie idle for d season rath
er than plant it in cotton at
loss. In 1905 by reducing tn
acreage Is per cent. the pric
advanced five cents per pound
and we can do it again. [ wi
be glad to hear from ever
Farmer who reads this and il
dorses it.
Do you want to return to tn
old days of five cent cotton?
not, join this movement an
We will make the South NOR
prosperous than ever.
