The American Cotton Associa- tion advises me that the bankers and merchants throughout Ala bama are helping in the holding movement except in few cases where they are absolutely not able to do so.
 The world is naked and needs more than we have grown, but cannot pay for it all at once. The cotton farmer is not a profiteer. He has never received more than 45 cents for his cotton and you can weigh shirts, handkerchiefs, bed sheets and dress goods, and you will find that he pays from three to ten dollars a pound for his cotton when he buys it back.
 There is the strongest holding movement on in the South in it's history. The farmers are simply lighting for their rights. and if they win and sell their cotton for 40 cents as against 20. they will save one billion two hundred mil lion dollars :; if they sell at 20 cents the bear spectators will take all the profit.
 To the business men and farm CTS of Alabama Which side are you on
 Senator Conner, who has loaned two hundred thousand dollars to farmers with which to hold their cotton. says: Tell the farmers to hold their cotton till the cows come home" Are there not hun dreds of other patriotic citizens throughout the South who will also lend the cotton farmer money so he can receive at least the cost of production for his cotton

What Do You Want?

To a correspondent of the New York Times1an Irish leader said:
 "Irishmen don't know what they want and won't be happy till they get it." It strikes us that a good many of our country men are in just that attitude of mind and would do well to find out just what it is they want. whether 1t is lawful and profit able for others as we'll as for themselves and how they are go- ing to go after it.

Give Before it is Too Late

Arkansas Democrats have done better in the matter of raising money in this national campaign than in any other, but they have not dcne nearly enough. AS yet their contributions total less than $20, 900, and staring them in tbe face is the fact that a few Repub. licans in this State raised $30, 900 for the Republican national cam- paign fund. Arkansas Democrats must produce a sum larger than this before the 2nd of November.
 The great trouble is that too many men and women fail to give unless a per sonal appeal is made to them. They should not wait for this appeal. They should give because money is needed for Democratic success. The Dem- ocratic standard bearer has made a wonderful fight It is necessary that other Democratic speakers be put into the field to help, and these speakers cannot be put into the field unless money is secured.
 Those who have not given yet should give immedia ely. The

 George White, Esq.,,

 New York City, N. Y.
 Dear Sir Please accept the en- closed small contribution to the fund for dissemination of truth about the League of Nations. It is literally a widows mite," but it comes from mother who sent four greatly need- ed sons to the World War. Two of those sons, with almost unlimited possibilities for future usefulness, were killed; a third was i'll in hospi. tals in France for five months, due to gassing in action. and is still clas- sified as unfit, and fourth risked his precious young life in the air. When an honest and concerted effort is being made by the nations of the earth to save, if possible, the future mothers and sons from these sacri- fees, it is hard to realize there are those who oppose such an effort. 1 feel sure that among those who paid for the war there can be but one opinion, and that is to try the League of Nations, even if it is not perfect. It is the best that has been proposed, and. all objections being weighed, is manifestly the most feasible. Please God it will not fail.
 Very truly yours.

 was selling for 40 cents; today
 only 20 cents is offered. The
 South will produce 12 million
 bales. which, if sold at 40 cents,
 will bring two billion four hun.
 dred million dollars: if sold at 2(
 cents will bring one billion two
 hundred million. A loss of one
 billion two hundred million in
 four months will bankrupt our
 section. Our lands and all other
 property will depreciate in value;
 our bankers. merchants. clerks,
 laborers Organized or morgan.
 ized). travelling salesmen, hotels,
 doctors. factories, schools, towns,
 churches, cities, and railroads
 will suffer. and above all our farm
 population will become disgusted and thousands will leave the farm
 never to return.
 This Department sent out ques
 tionnaires on the cost of produc. ing this cotton crop, and the aver. age cost was above 34 cents per
 pound based on a yield of 375 lbs. of seed per acre. Into this cost was figured rent of land. prepa- ration of land, fertilization, plan t. ing, barring off, chopping, hoe ing, fighting weevils, cultivation, picking. hauling to gin and mar ket, ginning. biacksmithing, etc. Thus. the balance, or 56 per cent. was an actual outlay of money out of the farmers pocket or bank accounts. Fifty-six per cent of 34 cents is 19 cents. about the present selling price, which leaves nothing to the millions who pro- duced it. So the spectators, bear gamblers and peanut poll ticians are asking us to feed and clothe ourselves and work eight months for nothing. A run has been made on our property. When a run is started on a bank the bank can appeal to the State Banking Department, which will take over the bank and give it time to make arrangements to meet the emergency.
 What would the bankers, mer- chants, manufacturers, coal ope- rators, railroads. newspapers, and all other lines of business do if their assets had been cut in half by spectators or manipulators in four months time They would either break or close up shop. Likewise the farmer must close up shop or break. We do not want to break; so the only thing to do is to close up shop. Do not sell a bale for sixty days. The mills only have a sixty days SUD- ply of cotton on hand. and if we hold till that is gone there will be the widest scramble for cotton the world has ever seen. If it is in the farmers hands the farmer will get his price. If it is in the speculators' hands the speculator will fix the price. The mills are down because the farm- CT who sells is helping the bear gambler ruin the market. The mills will not buy on a declining but will buy on a rising
