Because it is bound to sell at much, higher figures!' Because, the man -who makes the cotton should help to make the price! Because, trade is broad and strong, and record-breaking as to textiles! Because, the mills are making mon ey on basis, of it cents and 12 cenlts for cotton!I Because, the world needs every bale, and will take 'it greedily at pi cents if we holdLfor this, figure! KBecause, we are nio longer slaves to the north, but a free people, with our banks ful-1 of money, and the mer cnants and bankers ac our backs! Because, we live in a record-break ing age, and the present cotton crop, hlich has matured and opened un usually, will be found to be very s.ho.rt, when the world-wide and un precedented demand for cotton goods is considered! Because, the farmer needs the mnon ey, and deserves it more than the speculator! Because, money don't buy as much now as formerly! Because, everything the farmer 'buys has gone up in price, why not cotton? Because, the Southern Cotton asso ciation has fixed the price for good cotton at 11 cents, and th-is ass.ocia tion'is fighting our battle, and has put millions of dollars in rhe pockets of southern people! Because, we should be true to south -ern manhood and the southland! Because, if we show phe white feather and sell, we will fed1 like kick Sing ourselves out of sighit, when cot ton.is selling at 11 cents to 12 1-2 cen.ts per pound. Stand pat 'for 11 cents! - 3. E.

A Note Of Warning. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 25, I905.-Farm ers and merchants of the south are warned against cotton buyers who are now busy at many interior points try ing to induce spot holders to sell their cotton at marke[ prices and agreeing to pay any additional advance that may accrue within the next 6o or go days. If you deliver up your cotton on that basis and the buyers get enough of the staple in their hands to fill their orders, there is but little chance for the market to advance. The way to force an advance quickly is to refuse to part with the cotton tntil satisfactory prices are offered. No middling cotton should be sold at interior points for less tian eleven cents per pound. The crop is short and all who hold will be rewarded as they should ibe. Again, don't lend your cotton to lo cal mills on the promise of settlement at any time within the next few months. With the staple in the hands of the spinners prices can never ad vance. Again, notify warehousemen to whom you ship your cotton for stor age that under no circumstances must your cotton be loaned or sold to ex porters or buyers on any sort of trade r contract until you are-ready to sell it. All kinds of tricks'and devices are being resorced to now by buyers and spinners to indtTce farmers to part with their cotton. Every man who is led into any of those trades is unwit tingly playing into the hands of the buyers-and against his own interest and that of his neighbors. Hold your cotton like grim death. ie up the spot market and stand firm for higher prices and the victory will oon be yours and the continued pros erity of the South assured.
