Smith. |The State, February 25.J The affairs of the cotton farmers of the South aro in a oritical condition just now.. E. D. Smith, President of tho South Carolina Cotton Association, said yesterday that if tho next sixty days can be tided over the fight will be won. The farmers are organized and will stick. Tho thing now necessary is for the mer chants to stand by the farmers. This is not a movement of the farmers alone, he says, but of the whole South ern people. It will bring into the South millions of dollars which will be dis tributed and will benefit all the people. Therefore it is to the into.est of tho Southern mei chant to advance to tho farmer, ovon if the latter has not sold his last year's orop and is holding for an advance. To forco this cotton on the market would bo suicidal to the interests of the people of the South. He there fore begs the merchants to make al vanees from their stores to tho farmers who are still holding ootton. The mer chant may secure indemnity by having tho ootton insured and placed in a ware house in such a way that he will get out of it all that tho farmer owes him when tho cotton is eventually put up for sale. Another matter to which Mr. Smith called attention yesterday is the misun derstanding which prevails In regard to the reduction in tho use of fertilizers. He declared that it would bo an unusual mode of procedure to agree arbitrarily to reduce tho amount of fertilizer used and then to ask tho fertilizer people for a contribution with which to cripple their own interests temporarily. The spirit of that clause in tho constitution is that the amount of fertilizers to bo usad in the production of ootton wit) bi the same per acre as it was last year, and a reduction of 25 per cont in the acreage of cotton would thus moan u reduction of 25 per cent in the amount of fertilizer used to prod nee cotton. It is against tho policy of tho associa tion to uso ou 75 per cent of ground the same amount of fortilizor as was dis tributed over IOU nor cont of ground last year, for this would mean in tho cud no reduction in tho yield of cottou. Rut with the 25 per cont of land not used for tho cultivation of cotton, tho farmer might raise corn, wheat, forage grasses and other diversified p o lucts which would require even more fertilization than cotto- "Move tho smoke-houses from St. I is to South Carolina," is Mr. Smith's n ...tim. Uso tho forago plants to fatten hogs and cattlo and raise poul try and eggs, dust yesterday ho saw a farmor in his section, who is holding 50 hales of cotton, di ive up to tho railroad station and buy corn from tho store keeper nt 80 conto a bushol. That is what is the matter with the South to day, he said. The farmers do not raise their own provisions and with cotton which thoy sell for 0 conts try to buy corn-which they could raise for half what they pay for it-and fatton hogs for which they pay 10 cents a pound in the form of bacon. Mr. Smith's Address. 'rho following address was issued yes terday by President Smith of tho South Carolina Cotton Association: To tho Poople of tho State who aro In terested in the Southern Cotton Associa tion: In viow of the nu mei ons inquiries that have come to mo by those who aro holding spot cot t on as to what method thoy can secure a loan on their cotton to moot their pressing necessities, I call on the sovoral county organizations to ap point a committee consisting of their chairman and threo other mombors to BOO their local bankers at once and ar range plans by which those needing the money can seouro a loan on their cotton. It is Heedless for 11)0 to emphasize thc lirgetlt 1 ni poi 1.1 nee of this step. The three cardinal principles in our tight are as follows: Tho reduction of acreage, 1 ed m t nm of fertilizer and holding spot cotton. Already tho price of ootton lias advanced $7.50 por hale si nco the New Orleans convention. Had it not boen for this organization and the hope thai it inspiren, cotton would have flooded the market nt tho disastrously low prices prov diing a mouth ago and tho South would have lost hotween $50,000,000 and $100.000,000. If tho local banks and tho farmers, who are able to and tho mord?ante in their local organizations, will pool theil interests and stand together at this acut? crisis, the fight is won. I am in a posi tion to know, but cannot givo the namec of tho parties furnishing me the informa tion; that tho world is needing ootton moro than we are needing to sell; thal Liverpool has not roooivod ono-fifth ot the ootton that has boon exported. Eighty per ceut of that oxported in Janu ary anti. Fobrtiary has gone to Russia very little to Manchester. Tho stocks in all foreign centres are short, in all foreign and domestio mills they are short, and it is only a question of holding together tc seoure a good prlos for our ootton. 1 would like to state further that If nc li Isiide Ole I^VK PARTNEKSIl OVERCOATS-MACKINTOSHES.
