The above editorial is all right,
except the statement that the gentle

because an "ergagemcnt" for him to
make "a speech" was not made by
Congressman Aiken. He never COM
planned at all, and our usually fair
and clever cotemporary does this gen.
llcman an injustice by the statement.
The gentleman simply reported that
Congressman Aiken said committees

thing. Congressman Aiken was the
gentleman who complained night

man Aiken would do all he could to
get the building for Ncwbcrry and
that if ne GOT it he wanted all the
credit for it. We are clad ii has been

AN APPEAL TO SOUTHERNERs.
Owners Urged to Hold COttOn-Ask-
cd TO Work Together.

New Orleans, Nov. 13.-With q
stirring appeal to every interest in
the South-agricultural financial
and commercial-to cooperate in
holding cotton for higher prices, the
joint conference committee of the Ma
tional Farmers Union and financial
interests Of New Orleans adjourned
tonight.
The appeal is addressed to the peo-
pie OF the cotton belt, and is as fol-
lows:
1--WE, the joint committee Of the
National Farmers Union and of the
financial and commercial interests of
New Orleans, realizing that conf
dence in cotton market conditions
has been impaired and the apprehen-
sion thereby engendered has caused
more rapid marketing Of cotton than
has ever been known, and believing
that the holding of cotton at the
present time will permit the healthy
assimilation Of temporary Superabun-
dance and restore normal conditions
under which remunerative prices may
be obtained, hereby earnestly appeal
to every farmer, merchant and bank
er and other holders and owners of
cotton, to hold back, so far as they
can, their present holdings and not
sell unless absolutely compelled to
do so until the price has reached
a substantially increased figure.
I'VE especially request all the mer-
chants and bankers Of the cotton belt
to extend the obligations of the cot
ton grower, when called upon to do
so, for reasonable period, and to do
all other things in their power to aid
and encourage such growers and
holders Of cotton, believing, as we
do, that all the business conditions
of the world, and especially Of the
cotton world, steadily point toward
better prices than now obtained. We
believe that such concerted and de-
tcrmined action will logically and in
all probability increase the present
inadequate price paid for cotton
Committees were named to inves'-
tigate the public warehouse pan,
which calls for quasi-public CON E
mission, appointed by the State of
Louisiana, to control the operation of
a large warehouse, to be built on the
river front at New Orleans. The pro-
posed warehouse is designed to hold
from 100000 to 100000 bales Of
cotton.
