Mollwai rj COTTON ASSOCIATION. An Open Letter to mo rroniueui the Abbeville A*MOClation. Published by request I. A. Kell President. FARMERS SELLING TOO FAST. The principal depressing factor ,f the cotton market at this time in t ; too sapid selling of the staple by f e mers and merchants. All kinds 8 misleading and exaggerated J*epo ; regarding the congestion of cotton e compresses and interior points are I I ing wired ail over Europe and tl i country for the purpose of depressi 1 prices. It cannot be denied that t t movement of the crop to market di . ing the pa-U 30 days has been on t ' extensive a scale to maintaiu a stal market at profitable and satisfacto prices to the growers. Big crop ideas have been explod g by indisputable facts. This crop w not be large enough to supply t t enormous demands of the cotton tra 1 during the next twelve months. T P prices of cotton goods in all lines a : weekly advancing. It is due entire f to the existence of a "bearish" spec lative marfcet, strengthened by tbe t r rapid seiling af spot cotton, which forcing down prices below a fair pr< itable basis. This unwarranted at illegitimate violation of the true la\ of supply and demand will contin | until spot holders strengthen (heir p r sition by a slower movement of tl ' staple to market. ! There iB but one course to pursue this time to bring about normal co ditions. - Store every bale of cotlc ' under good and safe protection, whit can be possibly held, ^itbrr on tl farm or in local warehouses. High prices are sure to be realized if tl crop is marketed intelligently. Tl present price of cotton is too low. E . ery farmer in the South should resi to the la?t ditch the present effort hammer down the market for pure! speculative purposes. Every bank and merchant in the South should e: ert their utmost to assist the farmt in fighting the "bearish" cotton trad Leading farmers, merchants at bankers in all of the different cotto growing counties throughout tbe co ton belt should call the people togethi in public meetings at once in the respective communities and inaugi rate an effective campaign for tyin up the crop until prices are once moi placed on a satisfactory basis. A< promptly and effectively. It is tt wisest and safest step to take at th time. Stop the rapid movement < spot cotton and the speculative el ment will be powerless to depress tt maiket. Yours truly, Harvie Jordan, Pres. 8. C. A. The regular annual reorgauizatio of the Southern Cotton Associatic and election of officers for the ye< 1007 will take place in the near futur Meetings will be called in all the civ sub-divisions, counties or parishes an States of the cotton belt. Tbe count meetings are hereby called for the se< ond Saturday in December in all ti cotton growing counties at their r spective county seats for the purpoi of electing officers for the ensuing yei and to select from one to three repr nentaiives to attend the State divisio meetings to be held at all the Sta capitals on the first Wednesday i January, 1907. At the State divisio meetings the State officers must t elected and also the members of tt new national executive committe The meeting of the national execute committee will be held at Birmini ham, Ala., January 15-16, 1907, i which time the officers of the nation association will be elected and the pc icies of the association outlined f< the year 1907. The annual conve tion of the Southern Cotton Associ tion will be held at Birmingham, Al Jan. 17-19 which will be attended I delegates from all over the Sout Said delegates to be chosen by the v rious counties without restriction number.

General convention, Thursday, F day and Saturday, Jan. 17 18, 19,19( PROMPT ATTENTION DESIRED. To maintain the power and efficie cy of the Southern Cotton Associate ! i* is imperative that these meetings , fully attended by the people and tl best men that can be selected as office to the various positions to be fille Indifference of inaction will serious cripple the efficiency of the assoc; ' tion. The association is in need funds to properly carry on its wo and it Is earnestly hoped that at i the county meetings the annual du will he promptly paid up. TheSout ern Cotton Association has saved m - lions of dollars to the South in t i past two years of its existence and should receive the loyal and patriol support of all the people in the Sout In the meantime stand pat for bigt prices and sell the balance of the cr as slowly as possible. Continuo f storms, frosts and freezes has cut t . crop down to a supply inadequate r meet the demands of the cotton tra 9 for 1907 and present prices are too lo , Let us have a great rally of the peoj i at these meetings and with renew j hope and courage, deeply thanking e Almighty Providence for the blessin 7 which the South has enjoyed for t 3 past two years, cement our hearts a j thoughts into a closer bondage of ui ty for the material and moral upbui ing of our dearly beloved country, i daily and weekly papers earnestly quested to publish.
