Brabham, of Olar, Bamberg couuty, one of the best known cottou planters in South Carolina: The newspapers sud, in fact, men of every profession, aro standing open-eyed, wondering why the receipts of fertilizers are so heavy. They say that this fertili zer is hoing s.toicd away in warehouses, and so on. Now, don't bo deceived. Facts r.rc stubborn things; tho truth hurts; but this heavy shipment of ferli lizers means an inoreased acroage of cot ton over last yoar! I am not posing as a prophot, but under favorable conditions this year's cotton crop is going to break all records, hocause tho farmors cu every hand aro making greater efforts to make cotton than ever before. This sounds strange, indeed, but timo will toll. There have been more mules and horses purchased by tho cotton farmers this season than over known. This work stock was not bought for making corn, hay aud othor provision crops; far from it. They were bought for making cotton, and the cotton will bo made, provided we have the sunshine and showers'. There never was a time when labor was scarcer than now, which alono shows that everybody is putting iu a large cot ton crop. The farmors aro told that the demand for cotton is unpreoodented, that the aoreage would bo out 25 per cent, fertili zers proportionately, and that the cotton association would force cotton to 10 couts by Juno. That was enough. Every farmer is inoroasing bis acreago and phosphates, while ho hopos that the othor farmers, ono and all, will stand by the association aud reduce the aoroago. The South will plant :15,000,000 acres in cottou this yoar, and under normal conditions will moko 14,000,000 or 14,500, 000 bales. The above sounds liko a circular lotter of Thoodore Price, ono of the bear leaders of Now York. I am no specula tor, only a plain, blunt farmer, not afraid to toll the truth at any time or under any conditions. I only hope I nm mistakou, but when ono sees a thing, ho simply sees it in spite of himself. And I seo greater ef forts for a monster cotton crop than over before. Nothing hut the Almighty can keep cotton above 5 conts by October 1, 1005. I am very much afraid that tho Southern Cotton Association will ulti mately do moro harm than good. True, it has raised tho price of cotton, but go ing np just at planting time was moro than tho roassoB of tho farmors could boar. Fivo-cont cotton at this season would do moro to rorluce tho acroage than any pledge, be it over so binding, tbnt has been or may bo signed by the farmers. Moro than this, the cottou as sociation has a small onrollmeut of fnrmors. Going over tho list wo lind moro politicians, bankers, editors, doc tors, laborers and others not engaged in cotton culture than farmers, proportion ately. There aro many farmers in this organization who aro porfeotly honest in their convictions, and will abido by the ordor, but thero are 10 or 20 outsiders to 'one in the association who will so in? crease their acreage as to overlap the re duction made by tho association's mem bers. AB above predicted, I look for a mon ster crop. Everything points that way, and unless some widespread disaster be falls tho orop now boing planted cotton will roach rock-bottom next fall. I was tho first man, either in thin country or Ku rope, who predioted tho rise in cot ton some years ago, and published it in the Charleston Nows and Courier. That was no divination, but a caroful Btudy of the situation at that timo. So is this prodiction a caroful study of tho truo situation as it now stands. So far as I can soe, only tho interposition of the Great Ruler eau avert a panic among cotton planters uoxt winter. Cotton farmers all over the South aro financially ablo to plant cotton, and make it if possible Tho gamo is on, uohro, possibly doodle-uchre. Last Hope Vanished. When leading physicians said that W.
