Especial Cor. Manufa cturers' Record.)
New York, Sept. 8.
1T is up to the cotton growers to
obtain Is cents or above for this years
crop" is the way w. P. Brown sizes
up the cotton situation.
Mr. Brown and Frank b Hayne
who have worked successfully together
in a great many bull campaigns, are
up from New Orleans for an extended
stay, and are watching the cotton
market with keen interest. They have
been recently quoted as saying that
this years cotton crop could hardly
go much above 100000 bales, and
that the minimum price to the
planter should be 5 cents per pound.
There never has been a time when
the cotton planter had the situation so
completely in his own hands, said
Mr.. Brown to me today. 'All the farm-
ers' unions resolutions legislative en-
actments against cotton exchanges and
heated oratory Of the agitators is
merely wind as compared with the
resent legitimate position Of cotton. II
the planters show the slightest appre-
citation of their opportunities they
will hold their cotton instead Of rush
ing it on the market and breaking
the price, and if they will hold and
only market gradually to meet the
legitimate demand they will be able
to command 15 cents a pound mini
mum, if not considerably more. BY jul
dicious marketing the present crop,
short as it undoubtedly is, will bring
more money to the South than any
previous crop.
Just think what it would mean to
the South if this crop could be mar
keted at a minimum Of Is cents, in
stead Of Il cents, present price! It
would mean at least s165, 900, 900
more to the cotton growers, and it
would help every line of business.
Bankers, merchants and every busi-
ness man ought to do all in their
power to help the farmer obtain the
highest price, as it would mean pros
porous times to everybody in the
South. and would really benefit the
entire United States. as the bulk Of
our cotton and a large percentage OF
the manufactured goods are sold to
foreign countries.

FOR FIFTEEN CENT COTTON
Mr.. W. P Browns View of the Outlook for the
Growers

''The bears say, No doubt the price
of cotton will go up, but it is too
early in the season to have an advance
as the planter must sell at least half
Of his crop before any bull movement
can be started In my opinion, as a
Southern man and thus Interested in
the welfare Of the South, this is pre-
cisely the time to take advantage Of
the shortage in the crop, SO that the
producer can get the benefit of the
higher prices to which he is SO justly
entitled
''As to the spinner, Of course, he is
complaining, as usual; but I think
careful investigation will show that
the spinner has in the past made a
great deal more money manufacturing
cotton goods than the planter has in
growing the cotton. and | think it is
about time that the producers should
have one little inning.
THE spinner should and will adjust
the prices of his goods to conform to
the prices Of the raw material. Tho
world must have cotton goods, regard
less Of the price, Is there is nothing
that has ever been discovered in the
civilized world that cloth can be man.
ufactured from as cheaply as cotton,
and, in my judgment, as soon as the
spinners begin to fully realize that this
crop is about 100000 bales short of
the actual requirements they Will lose
no time in securing as much Of their
supplies as possible.
.sFifteen cents is not high for cotton
as compared with the prices that
other commodities are bringing. When
the farmer marks the price of his
cotton UP to 15 cents let the spinner
mark his goods UP accordingly, and
the consuming world will come for
ward and buy the goods and will not
ut
will be insignificant to the individual.
1--WE will certainly have in this
country for the next year or two at
least the most prosperous times that
we have ever experienced Trade is
also improving all over the balance OF
the world, and with these prosperous
times if the cotton could be had I be-
lieve the world would easily consume
100000 bales this year"

by any Volusa county firm-about
three pages of THE News.
Mr. V. w. Gould, when he sold the
Putnam Inn about three years ago,
opened real estate business. At that
time no one on this side Of the county
was pushing the real estate business.
Several people and firms were in the
business, selling to those who came here
and made inquiries. No one was at
that time making any effort to induce
people to come to this section of Volusia
county, Immediately on embarking
in the business, Mr. Gould began to send
out literature, pamphlets, booklets,
maps, etc. He succeeded in interesting
people in Florida to his efforts is
due in a great measure the remarkable
prosperity that has come to this section
of Nolusia county.

Company has grown with the prosperity
of the county, until, today. four active,
