We trust Senator Hoke Smith will take a
sedative. The Farmers Union of his State has
resolved to hold cotton for IL cents. This may
be conspiracy in restraint of trade but we do
not attempt to pass that; the significant thing
about it is the confidence of the Georgia planters
in their ability to market their cotton at good
price. They arc not afraid of being ruined by
interference with cotton exports Representative
Howard says that the banks have no ground for
attrbuting present prices of cotton to the British
