Ilia Opinion < f Farmers Wbo
Would Bum Tbuif Cotton.
__
The Atlanta Journal prints the
following opinion from Senatoi
Tillman uu the burning of cotton
by Southern farmers:
Tho news from the South that
there is serious tul'i among the
cotton planters of burniug a part
of the lu>t crop, is startling. In
answer lo your icuer, asaing me
comment on tho situnliuii, 1 will
bay that I see no necessity to burn,
and 1 will brFlly give my reasons.
Tho law ot supply and demand
is not fit wo; k now in regard to
this tjiftj ie. During tho last twelve
months tliero hub be-on tho most
startling rise i 11 tho pries of cotton,
fullowod by tho iiiutt unoxumplcd
full in the history of tlio
commndily. From IT \ cents in
February to ?' ? in December,
breaks tho record in tho cotton
market.
Speculation 1- at tho bottom of
tho fall, ju-t as i' was behind tho
phenomenal 'in ).
There was no good reason for
cotton going to 17^ cents, and
t lioro in lw. .nil nl r* i w i von ami m m- I
U1V.1V n U'M-'iiiii ; ^ uv? I V. ov/11 Iiv ??
for cotton to ho selling ut
cents. TIi it tiioru is a largo
crop, probably the largest in the
history 'ft- c staple, is no longer
disputed, but tho world needs
every bale of it.
A s:; <i t while Rgo the papers '
were tilled with dark forebodings
of roe disasters threatened to com
liictcc and the nianufacturiug in?
dustries lroin tho shortage of
cotti-o. Too English, Gorman and
French spinners wore looking
about turou:,uout the colonial possession
of tho - j countries for suitublc
land to grow cotton to sup?
ply the (shortage in tho American
crop.
Now tho price of American cot*
ton has run below tho cost of production
and many silly people in
tho South are talking about burning
it. The world needs all of
the cotton th?t has been grown
this year, una needs it at a fuir
price to the producer?say SA

gin of profit.
A 10,000,000 bulo crop, such
as wo grow lust year, ought to
bring ut loast 12 cents and most
of that crop sold for that or
above. Twelve million or 12,500,000,
which 1 consider to be
the maximum \ ield this soason,
ought not to sell below S cents.
fccnsiblo farmers in tho South
are holding th- ir cotton. It costs
too much to burn it.
There is no guarantee that there
will be a large crop in 1905, and
the cotton world was nover so bare
..e .i.. :? t
Liniuu in us manjiy us iv nuo
tho first of last September.
1 predict that cotton will go
back to cents inside of ninety
days, and there will be a million
bales that will not come to the
market even at that price.
There is absolutely no neod fo
panic anywhere, and none but
idiots will burn cotton.
The Southern planters are in a
better condition financially than
they have ever been within my
recollection. We have had a good
price for cotton tho Inst two crops.
Most men aie out of debt and
have money in tho bank.
At least half of the cotton which
has not yet gone to the market is
held by men who are absolutely
independent and noed not sell at
^ ill if lliey do not wish to do ho.
Deduct, then, 1,500,000 or
00,000 bales fjoni the la*t crop
; be carried over unless the price
* lits and it will bo seen that the
.. r-*c)ly and demand" will
..co-loTce botween now and
next summer. The cotton will not
*o into night at tho price, and I
:?vnv of no means to make them
oil who do not want to and who
ttivi not obii^eil to. J1
will say in conclusion thut
thero will bi very liltlo burned,
and unltss th*- price rises between ^
now und April, there. will be a
largo falling oil in the acreage of ri
the uext c op. 1
Thero is nothing to bo alarmed (
about, und tho country will jog 1
along in tho ordinary way aftor 8
ho present flurry passes off. c

Arrests Will Startle Public. c

Arrcits that will startle the ^
public may follow tho Rndolph a
Rahcns caso. Rabens, it will be 1
remembered was a Charleston 1
grocer who was charged with 1
complicity in robbing two postofficcs
in this Slate. He is now
out on bond. Two postoftice inspectors
have arrested his brother,
Clui*topher Rubens, in Charleston
on a similar charge, and he
will be brought hero for trial.
Tho postoffico inspectors, while an
close-mouthed as usual, sniils
meaningly, and it is thought that (
there are others wanted. The s
Kfthonsos went to Charleston from |
Walhallu. United States Attorney <
John G. Capers will not divulgo i
the names of those against whom i
warrants have been issued. It is <
thought that this is going to the ;
bottom of tho posloflico robberies
that have occurred in the last few 1
years.?The State, 15th.
