Recent invcstigati >n of tho sup3r

is $38,200 has been borrowed
without warrant of law, and there
is no record of tlio borrowing in

ind nothing to ahow what became
of the money. The comptroller ,

probably he an investigation by at

and submit bis conclusions as to

The Palmers Won't Hold end
Won't Cut, i'hinirs Mr Lovermg.
Mr. Editor:?Pleasq, publish
the following extracts from a
speech delivered in tho House of
Representatives on January 16th
by the Hoc William C. Lororing,
a congressman from Massachusetts
who is a great cotton manufacture
er. Let tho farmers read it and
soe what some of the spinners aro
xpoctiog tbcm to do?then let
thorn proceed to show Mr T.nr?r_
tug and all who think like him
whether or not they will hold
their cot loo and cut the acreage:
"The spinner? of the world have
already takon eight-tenths of their
year's consumption of American
cotton, and it will require hardly
two and a half million bales more
to carry them to the next crop.
They will take their time and
pick this up at their leisure, know
ing that after they have taken all
they need there will bo as much
more left to he carried over.
"Some of tho planters, in the
first flush of disappointment ai
not receiving a high price for their
cotton, may withhold it, but as
suiq as tho sun sets it is going to
be for sale.
"If they can not got 8 cents
they will take less. If they can
not get 7 cents they will take less.
If thsy can not get G cents they
will take less.
"The spinner realizes this, and
knows perfectly well it would bo
better for him to let the shrinkage
and all carrying over charges be
borne by the plantor.
"Cotton is not low today. It is
only relatively low as compared
with last year. [He WOUld
think it was low if he had
made it atul had it to sell
"Wo hear a great deal said
about concerted movement to carry
cottoa in the south. Of courso,
farmers have a right to hold back
their cotton. They have a right
to cut down their acreage next
season, but wo may rest assured
they will do neither of these two
ihings to any gieat extent.
"As to cutting down the acreage,
that generally means that the
oiher fellow Is going to cut down
his acreage and 1 am not going to
cat down mine, or, if I am under
any pressure induced to cut down
a iu\y h'jkjh. it. means ma; l snail
use every possiblo means to cultivate
and raise tho largest crop on
the smallest acreage,
"I am credibly iuformed that it
is possible to raise a bale to an
acre, and in some cases 2 bales to
the acre. So I do not look for
much reduction in the crop anoth*
er year, excepting it may come
from the vicissitudes of the weath
er. It ceitainly will not come
through efforts of individual
planters. W. C. C.
