Tho ?vintlons That Should Exht Be tween Farmers, Doukers mid Mills, as Sfp.ted by Hr. ii. lt. M&UtdV The address delivered by Mr, B. P. ?/uuldin at the meeting of tho County Cotton Association ou salesday was much ap j) reclined by those who beard it. At tbo request of J. C. Stribling, of Pendleton, Mr. Mauldin bas in corporated some of tho main points and facts made lu bis address in a letter, and Mr. Btribling has sent rae letter to The Intelligencer for pub lication. In sending the letter to The Intelli gencer, Mr. btribling says: "Every farmer in the county shonld read this The data given is very significant, and shows that the products of tho cotton mills compare favorably with the cot* ton products of the farms. We are also pleased to note the stand taken by the bankers at New Orleans in b .-half of the cotton farmers. Farmers sbonid be very thankful to the bankers fur their material aid in general, as well as for their prompt action at New Orleans." Mr. Maulditi's letter is os follows: J. C. Stribling, Esq. Pendleton, S. C. Dear Sir: 1 have your favor of even dato and take pleasure in complying with your request as far as 1 can. 1 stated in my speech ou Monday, that when the National Bank of Anderson was established about thirty-two years ago, it was the only bank in a territory now embraced by the counties of Anderson, Pie kens, Oconce, Abbe ville and Gleenwood; that the capital of thia bank was only $50,000, and that our deposits never exceeded $300,000; that in this same territory there are wo*/ thirty -seven banky, with a capi tal and surplus of 832"7?,000 and de posits of ?3,000,000 or more. 1 further stated that white tba people were'be ing educated to use the banks, a great many were still holding aloof with their deposits; and that in my opinion if all the money thus held out of cir culation, could be gotten into the banks, tho banks of Anderson County would not need to go away to borrow money to carry the business of the county, even afc such a time aa this ,when they jure perhaps car ry ingr over 10,000 bales of .cotton for the farmers alone. ? \ My data as to cotton, which X stated was the basia of our prosperity, was : that.the county produced approximate ly00,000 bales i.f conon, which ot $60 a bal? was 98,100,000;. that the- cotton mills of the county used approximately 110,000 bales, thus bringing into the coan ty 00,000 -raero County produced; that the gross income from manufacturing this cotton was oboe*l-$40 a bale, making a total of $4,400,000, which added to the $8,000, 000 brought in by the raw cotton pro duced in the county made a total of over $7.000,000 as nu annual revenue ?rom cotton alone. I made the state ment and now reiterate it, that every ?lass in the county is interested in high price cotton and the banks especially, as. they make - their largest 'earnings wheo money is abundant and the wheels, bf business: are moving smoothly.' ?' further stated that even 'the cotton mills would net; object to high ps iee cotSoo, if it was a steady they really sauted in ray judgment, waa some'preventive..?* >?M&? ??.oations in tho pnce of cotton brought about /mainly . by the ; manipulation^ jr|f :'sj?^ts^ I regret that I cannot give you data 8k - to what the! fanners ? are depositing banko. feat it is a gratify lng fact that they" are learning to uta the banks more abd more, and the r?itt?t itf the banks are getting stronger, rates of in terest ave getti Og do wa and thc 'avail* able resources of the country for ma? tc rial and educational development ; are steadily increasing, -xi . .; 1 dl&ndtrefer in -myspeech to tba New Orleans conveniences I did not understand that i wa? expec^^^ so, and did not want to trespass on tba time or Other speakers, who i uoder ?U>odil?oa^ bo?y ol^en, : who eppsrehtly ; were more unites and moro 4a earnest in ^fcplabat?d pnrp>sw abd the rank ?^^?^^te Iwcrevftiri mers. ?We bad : quite a number of bankers present and they bad a meet ouf'snpport9^ tK??f?m?rViSe hales and part of your pfl?e?palt?ol - Where ia. the business man ?t wonld grow Hve Imje? of Cotton:*?* ?9fm&beti b?could got tho'same$'200 for four bales ai the same cost of pro ducwortf. - - ^f? ^ ii t^ir o tx ^ ?iio -eors tro i "There Now, We. Told You so." We have contended all along that the guano combine knew moro about what the organized farmers would call for in tho way of fertilizers than tho organized farmer did about it. These fertiliser nien seem to have known about n year back just about how much fertilizer tho farmers were likely to take thia season, nud tho combiuo agreed to make all that was needed and no more, and these fellows have agreed upon a profitable price for their products, and, us they are well organized, they'"expect to place their goods upon tho market at their own Brices-uot yours. They have their usin?es in their own hands by tho power of a close organization. Farmers, can't we profit by taking a few lessons from those shrowd busi ness men and apply it to our business, and not produce more cotton this sea son than consumers need) Farmers, wo aro un against a great big business proposition that is world wide, because the whole world use our cotton, therefore, we may expect the whole world to strive to get our cotton just as cheap as possible, and if we do not organize to protect our interest wo need not expect others to do it for us!
