greatly strengthened by the high
prices realized for cotton during the
past three or four years, and that the
hasty marketing of the major part of
the cotton crop is no longer rendered
imperative by the financial necessities
Of the growers the trade was in
clined to take rather seriously the
widespread reports of a holding
movement. 1t was felt by large
number of members of the trade that
such a campaign might easily result
in substantial relief from the press
ure of Southern selling in the futures
and spot markets, and that an up
ward movement of prices was ac-
cordingly in order. The markets res
pended to this and on Wednesday and
Thursday prices rose rather easily on
the Exchange until maximum. gain
of not far from three cents per pound
had been achieved. It was quickly
observed, however, that the quota
tions of the Southern spot markets
were failing to show anything like
the same resiliency. In other words,
it became apparent that, whatever the
ultimate effects of the farmers hold
ing movement may be, the supply of
cotton which still can be bought free
ly and at very moderate relative
price continues to be amply sufficient
to meet the now severely curtailed
demand from the worlds spinners
and merchants. So long as this is the
case, it is difficult to find any real
warrant for an advance in prices in
the cotton markets. conclusion
which was quickly arrived at by a
sufficient number of members of the
cotton trade to undo most of this
weeks's rise."- ."-Progressive Farmer.

This resolution was adopted.
R. M. Mixson then offered the res
olution asking the governor to issue
a proclamation urging ginneries to
cease operation until conditions i'm
prove. When this resolution was put
to a vote many voted against it,
though it was carried according to
the presiding officer.
B. B. Sellers of Marion and others
said the legislature would meet in
January and that there was posi-
hility that that legislature might un-
do what the special legislature does.
He thought that conditions would
right themselves and that farmers
will reduce acreage without compul-
sion.
The motion, however, to adopt the
resolution was. passed.

fore the executive committee forNcon-
sideration, R. C. Hamer said yester-

THE SOUTHERN FARMER >i|'
CAN MAKE THE COTTON
PRICE WHAT HE WANTS 1T

Southern selling is the hammer
that is driving down cotton prices.
So long as sufficient cotton can be
bought at present prices to meet the
demands there is no chance for prices
to advance. Just how easily the
farmers of the South can force prices
up is illustrated by Arthur Richmond
Marsh in a recent report of the ac-
tivities of the New York Cotton EX-
change, who says:
Gas it is the general impression
that the economic position of the
Southern farming class has been

to Governor Cooper and ask him to
call a meeting of the legislature to
take action postponing until next
July the payment of part Of taxes.
The resolution also provided that
legislation be enacted to put into
force legal machinery to assure the
reduction of cotton acreage one
third, this act to be passed under
the general welfare clause and the
farmer to make legal returns show
ing the acreage planted this year and
the acreage to be planted in 1921
He also spoke of the closing of
gins in certain states and referred to
the organization of the export cor
poration and urged that it be sup
ported.
Senator Smith Speaks.
Senator E. D. Smith was the next
speaker and during the course of his
address said that next December he
intends to do his utmost to have the
word "may" changed to "shall' in the
act defining the duties of the federal
reserve board with regard to lending
money on farm products.
Senator Smith also made strong
plea for support of the export cor
poration.
Governor Cooper was then intro
duced and presented to l.. B. Altman
of Greenwood the trophy cup offer
ed by the cotton association to the
county making the best showing in

AN AMAZING SITUATION
OF WORLD IMPORTANCE

! Bulletin No. 2, issued September
27 by the First Federal Foreign Bank
ing Association, chartered under the
Edge Law" and which is controlled
by the leading banking institutions
of New York, states that the League
of Nations is carrying on a world
campaign "fop drastic credit restric-
tion through existing central banking
institutions" 1t also says that meas
ures have been taken in the United
states "to restrict the granting of
credit and put up the cost of borrow
ing" and that "our restriction of
credit shows far-reaching influences,
bringing about reduced production
and liquidation of commodities.
= In publishing the amazing fact that
the League of Nations is carrying on
a world campaign for "drastic restric.
ton of credits in this issue, we are
also able in lengthy reply to Gov,
ernor Seay Of the Federal Reserve
Sank of Richmond to disprove over
whelmingly by his own reports his
claim that the Federal Reserve Board
has not carried on campaign Of
credit restriction throughout this
country. With every fact against him
we are amazed at Governor Seay's
temerity in attempting to bolster up
a bad cause.
To the work of the Administration
and the Federal Reserve Board to
deflate credit drastically and to break
down prices, as shown in the reply to
Governor Seay, we now have the as.
tonishing revelation that the League
of Nations is carrying on similar
worldwide campaign. That one fact
alone should forever damn the Lea
que of Nations, because it is an indi-
cation of it's limitless possibilities for
evil and for interfering with the in
ternal affairs of this country. The
League of Nations has already for
months had in Washington a repre-
sentative of it's Labor Bureau report
ing on labor conditions in America.
One year ago there was abounding
prosperity throughout this country.
Every factory was crowded to its ut
most capacity, with ready demand
fer its output. Laboring men of all
kinds were better employed than ever
before, and no man had to walk the
streets hunting in vain for a job.
Farmers were for the first time in the
history of their foundation-industry
reaping fair measure of profit for
the work which they do in sustaining
civilization. Today factories are clos
ing throughout the country. Tens of
thousands of laborers are being dis
charged, and within the last three
months the value of farm products
has been reduced to the extent of
about $500, 100000 to $8,O0O,OOO,-
600, binging poverty to millions of
farmers in every part of the land.
Through the worldwide restriction
of credit prices Of farm products
have reached such low point that
if they can be held down to present
figures Europe will be able to save
at least 100000, 900 to $2,OOO,OOO-
900 year in its importation of.Amer-
lean foodstuffs and cotton. In addi-
ton to this loss to America we will BE-
forced to pay off debts made with
high prices with low-priced commodi-

A Whole Town Moves.

Once it was considered quite feat to
move good-sized building from one part
of city to another. However, the little
town of Ochiltree, down in Texas, has
beaten the record on moving.
Ochiltree had built itself into a com
munity of three hundred inhabitants. Lo-
Gated in the "Panhandle' and on the
prairie. its location was selected in the
expectation that fortunes would be made
in real estate when a projected railroad
was built. The railroad went around, not
through. Ochiltree. Real estate booms
went glimmering.
Yet Ochiltree. like the gentleman from
Texas who made that section famous in
the halls of Congress, did not halt or even
hesitate in working out its career. Gather.
ing all the tractors within reach, the peo-
pie of Ochltree hitched their town to
them-barns, stores, residences, grist mill
corner groceries and everything nova
ble--and laying a course due south soon
arrived at the railroad and the rival town
favored by the railroad.
Thus does the Texas mountain 20 to

Is This To lie the Issue!

The party that scores at the polls
this year will be that party which is
big enough TO rise above nationalism,
sectionalism and fanaticism.

possibility. the editor of the Wheeling
Rogistor makes a strong bid for the dis
tinction of being the Democratic party's
DR.. Samuel Dickinson Burchard. He
makes no attempt at ALTERATION of the
"thrce Rs" type Of his distinguished pred.
ecessor. il Is true. but his toying with
''isms" is just as unfortunate as was that
OF lhe man famous for the part he played
~ bringing about the defeat Of James g,
Blaine in 1854.
Is the party Of his affiliation contem.

platform in which is incorporated the
idea of the editor Of the Register that
there is something greater for the Ameri
can people than nationalsm-and that
nationalism is to be classed with sectional.
