TIE COTTON STRIKE.

Already there seems to be con-
Sriracy to take in the short cotton
crop at beggarly prices. 1t is alleged
that it cannot he bought by foreign
spinnerS because they have no means
Of paying for it.
The union and the strike seem about
the only instruments that Impress the
opposition in these excited times: SO
the Southern senator's at Washington
are sending out messages to their
states urging that the cotton growers
hold the present crop until times
change. and prepare to 90 on Il strike
next year. Senator HOke Smith. of
Georgia. says that the South made Il
mistake by growing Il cotton crop this
year.
1t seems to the Southern leaders. in
short. that the South will have to org;l-
nize in all lines of production and
purchase before il square deal can he
had.
