.14,OOO,OOO Bale Crop

It was the consensus of those present at the meeting Saturday that the present cotton crop of the United States would not exceed 14,000,000 bales, if it reached that amount, despite the prediction and estimate of over 15.OO0,0O0 bales. The Ma tional Ginners' report estimates that the crop will be over 15,0G0,e00 bales and that the consumption will amount to only 13,- O00,000 bales. It was the consensus of opinion at the meeting Saturday that the consumption of the world wouid reach 22,O00,000 bales and admitting that the crop would reach 15, GOO, 900 bales or more, there would not be enough to satisfy the consumption even then.

FARMERS MEETING
 IN MONTGOMERY Belief Crop Would Not Ex-
 ceed 14,OOO,0OO Bales AN ADDRESS IS READ
Announcement Made That the First National Bank Made Offer to Finance Crop = Five Per
 Cent Interest Required

Montgomery, November 4.-(Special.) At a meeting of the farmers of Mont gomery county, held in this city, an nouncement was made by Captain Reu- ben F. Kolb, state commissioner or agriculture. that the First National bank of Birmingham has made an offer to finance the entire cotton crop or Alabama, provided the cotton receipts can be so issued as to make them nego- liable. Five per cent interest was the exaction required. the commissioner said.
 Captain Kolb scored the census bu- reau and the United States department of agriculture and stated that the cen sus reports on ginning and acreage and estimates of the cotton crop of the south were mere guess work He de- clared that at one time at his request he had received copies of the United States field agents reports made to the agricultural department at Wash ington but that lately, these reports had not been coming and that he un- derstood that the authorities had or dered. the field agents to discontinue the practice. In other words. Captain Kolb intimated that the United States agricultural department will not co-op- crate with the state departments of agriculture in the south.

Colquitt's Campaign

Governor Colquitt has very strenuous, campaign on his hands just now. He is being opposed for reelection to second term by w. F. Ramsey, associate Jus tice of the supreme court. MT. Ramsey is. said to be popular with the farmers ana he has been counting on receiving the bulk of their support in his present con- test for governor. It Is conceded that should the New Orleans conference cause a material increase in the price of cot ton or should prices increase, irrespec- tive of what effect that conference might have on them, Governor Colquitt would be given large credit for the result by the farmers, and it is natural to sup. pose that his political star would ascend to that degree.
 The agitation looking to the general holding of cotton by the producer h1s met with a generally favorable response. This is attested by the filling up of cotton warehouses that have been empty for. several years; also by the heavy falling off in the cotton tonnage of rail- roads during the last week or 10 days. There seems to be no doubt at this time that there is great force to the cotton holding movement. There is no way of ga Lging or even approximating the total number of bales now being held for higher prices. The cessation of market Ing the product, however. is having a serious effect upon business all over the ss tate. For the most part farmers paid off their more pressing obligations from the. sale of their early crop and are now prepared for holding the balance. It is not expecvted that there will be any general turning loose of the product un- til prices improve or until it has been carried for a reasonable length of time waiting a possible betterment of prices.

 FARMERS MEET Bessemer Cotton Market Is
 Very Active THE VETERANS MEET Pay Delegates Expenses to Reunion. Smithson Is Acquitted-General and Personal News of
 Bessemer
THE VETERANS MEET

Bessemer. November 4.-(SpeciaL)-- At the meeting of the truck growers held yesterday afternoon at the Board of Trade rooms the first question con sidered was the present condition of the sweet potato market in this yicin- ity. The discussion of the subject ce- veloped the fact that about three weeks ago the Birmingham market, having practically no sweet potatoes, ordered them in car load lots from points abroad. This was followed by hard freeze, causing the Jefferson county growers to dig their potatoes and haul them to Birmingham.
 The inevitable was a glut of the BIT mingham market and prices dropped below 50 cents a bushel. Arrangements were made with T. M. McNeil, Besse- mer's cotton buyer, to handle the sweet potato crop and from now on to slip them in car load lots to points thaS pay a higher price than Birming gham. Yesterday special instructions were mailed to all the growers regarding the proper and best way to store and hold the potatoes until spring.

1t is to be hoped that our Chief
Executive, who has so publicly stated
his position relative to and friend
shin for the citizens of the United

the expression of a true feeling as

Sincerity of purpose demands sin

us we are a good people. We know
