Saturday, November 3, 190 PRESIDENT SMITHS ADVICE THE FARMERS. President Smith, ot the St Cotton Growers' Association, published in Wednesday's is of The News, save out a stj ment this week in which he peals to tlie tarmers not to e ntice their cotton by selling present prices, lie construes Jast ginuers' report as a bull oue. lie says it shows that crop is undoubtedly short, t in his opinion it the farmers \ hut hold their cotton they \ certainly realize 12^ cents ; pound for it. Upon Uie=e poi Mr. Smith says: "The next giuners' report a'ii confident, will show that i Contention tli t the crop is sin is true. Last week and the w< before the mills and the cot I buyers gave 11 cents readily cotton. If they could afford buy it then at that figure, it worth that much now, for t reason that they had plu< their contracts months ahe and could afford to give 11 ce and show a handsome profit. "There is no reason why y< the farmers of the South, shot sacrifice what cot<on you do a them, because somebody prcdi e?i mere ? a? a much larger er< In mand from them that th shall g:ve for what you do s hem from now on, what tl have been paving lor it for t last two or three weeks at lea Cotton is worth today on t markets, in view of the pr and the scarcity of goods, 12 1 cenls a pound If the farm will just absolutely refuse to s it for less, this price ran be i tained tor the balance of t crop. tk()f course everything depej upon the unanimity with wh they hold cotton. As Mr. Smith says, all depei e~on the farmers themselves. HEARST HIT ON ALL SIDES, H MAV U/IN Hearst, in his candidacy Governor of New York, is c tainly receiving no encoura ment or moral support at I hands of the democratic lead of the South. On ?he contrai they denounce him and 1 methods at every opportunity. In a speech at Brownwood, T< as, one day this week, Sena Bailey fired the following broi _ side at New York's democratic ys. standard bearer : "They say I ought nol to talk about hun because be is the Democratic nominee. If he had live! ys j up to that doctrine he would have the right to invoke it. lie i? op po.-ing the Democratic caud da'e iy? for Qoveruor in California and has put up independent candior? dates lor the Assembly in New ?

Mr. Hearst offered fifty thousand dollars reward for the arrest and conviction of persons guilty of election frauds. The publication this alteruoon of a cablegram from Richard Croker to Senator McCarron j. reading, "Congratulations to you on manly stand taken whether you win or lose,'1 has caused excitement in democratic headquarters in Brooklyn.
