AlPBAXi TO FA HM EUS TO HOIJD tton-JO. D. Smith, President of Stat? Cotton Association Sick. Columbia, Nov. 20.-In the ab sence of E. D. Smith, of tho Cotton Association who hu? been ill at a hospital In Florence for six week? and who it IB feared will never be a well man again, Secretary F. H. Web ton, of the South Carolina Cotton Association, Nationnl Committeeman W. W. Hay and Treasurer F. H. Hyatt, of the State organization, to day gave out a joint statement on the present cotton situation, setting forth among other things that the weak cotton and weak-kneed men having been disposed of there ls eve ry n ason to believe that with the re sumption of normal financial condi tions /the price will rapidly rise and ArVgTiiBg the farmers to hold for the mlnliftium price of 15 cent?, fixed by both ?the cotton associations. The Ktateilit nt follows: To Itb.e People of South Carolina: On acYcount of tho fact that E. D. Smith! president of the South Caro lina dilvlsion of the Southern Cotton Association, has been desperately ill in the] hospital at Florence for six weeks,Ino address has gone forth on behalf pf the association on the sub ject of jj he sit nui ion of cotton. At tme meeting of the executive com mit nee of both the Southern Cot ton Association and the Farmer*' Union, itho minimum "price of lo centsvwd* fixed and published broad cast throughout the South. At that time lt was estimated that the . cot ton crop would reach twelve mil lion bales; ?Ince that tithe nothing has cocurred'to chango the estimate; but both from Individual sources and from the government, it seems that this estimate of twelve million lisles was extromely liberal-every indi cation points to ii crop of about elev en and om; half million bales. We have kept' a close watch dur ing the financial panic of any disas ter that would materially curtail the consumption of cotton; lt can be ?aid that there [has taknn place nothing ^lnce September 1, which would les son thc deashnd for cotton. We have passed through a very stringent mo ney markot! which, of course, affect ed the prices of everything in Amer ica. But wa believe that conditions are rapidly assuming their normal proportion^-New York having re sumed its shipment of currency throughput the country. We firmly believe that those who have had confidence In their fellow nfian and financial ability to with hold their cotton from the market will yet receive the minimum price ftjced by the association. In every community there are farmers who have disposed of their cotton, and whoso disposition I? to Inugh at the fellow who has held; but the old proverb of "?le who laughs gest laughs last" will again be exempli fied. Now, that the weak cotton and weak-kneed mei\ have been disposed of, we confidently expect, under the resumption of normal financial con ditions, that the (price of cotton will rapidly advance; ?for ?i. ?lauds to rea " ^.^VfiTWi,,!, cotton still took place at tho hoists, under nor fatlier, J.
