The cotton mills of the South have
had. until two years ago, a long period
of prosperity. They are getting on
very we'll now, as q rule, and 1t IS
regrettable that they have seen tit to
take steps to depress h price OF
raw cotton by curtailment or possibly
shutting down. The stone is not aimed
at the farmer, perhaps, but il will hit
him nevertheless. he mills should
remember hat this is but one year
Of high cotton resulting from q short
crop n hat many years OF lower
prices have preceded. They should
not begrudge the tiller Of the soil one
