have a new issue. 1 am only COM
mon hardwareman, and it makes me
grunt to make both ends meet in a
business way now.
II am As years old. but I have
lots of fight in me yet, and il the
time comes that they need the old
bucks, you will find this old boy as
eager to do his bit as it is possible
for anyone to be. l appreciate your
letter and the spirit in which it was
written, and l want to say to You
that in this old United States there
are a lot of fighters left behind. and
we will see to it that they do dig up
the money for you fellows just as
fast. and a little faster, than you
need it. l don't know that l can
say any more at this time to make
my case any stronger. You spread
the news to the boys that Iowa is
going to be with you to the finish,
and I know that the other states will
do equally as well. With best wishes
and God bless you"

'7o THE GROWERS or SEA ISLAND
COTTON

At this time the condition Of the Sea
Island Cotton industry is decidedly
pessimistic. This condition is from
two main courses:
On the ground of the importation
of Egyptian cotton
This imported Egyptian cotton
has made a surplus Of cur nome
grown product. which IS held by the
farmers, ginners, merchants and brok-
ers. and has prevented their market
/ ing it, The Egyptian cotton is now
about consumed by the mills and the
surplus on hand VIII be taken over
by them before the first Of the year,
when the new crop will become avail
able
The price of Sea Island cotton can
be held up and an optimistic condi-
ton can SO maintained if our farmers
viii hold back the ginning of their
cotton till after October Isl, and then
restrict their selling oonly portion
Of their crop az time.
South Carolina, georgia and Florida
grown Sea Island cotton is worth 81
a pound II can be made 70 bring
that price by all working together.
The market quotation shows around
/ 70 cents per pound win no demand
for the cotton. The farmers would be
losers at this price when we consider
the high price Of labor the boil wee
the nigh price Of labor, The boil weevI
and other things with which they have
tocontend.
Fan to work n cooperation now and
the price VIII slump. The farmers.
ginners. merchants and bankers will
so bankrupt There is nothing to
gain by harriedly putting on the mar
bet your Sea Island cotton. The seed
may lose some weight. but if the
cotton IS well stored before ginning
the lint is very much improved The
loss Of weight in seed VIII be more
than overcome n favor of better
prices for better Int.
This appeal IS made to all concern
ed in the Sea Island cotton industry
with cue purpose only in Jew Keep
