HOLD COTTON SAYS JORDAN. President of Southern Cotton Asso ciation Urges Farmers to Stand Firm. President Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association, has is sued an address to the farmers of the south to hold firm and keep their cotton until the price reaches the level it should attain. Farmers are aho urged to hold mass meetings in their counties and decide upon con centrated effort. The letter is as follows: "Headquarters Southern Cotton Association, Atlanta. Ga.. November 27, 1907.-In the face of the present monetary stringency and the stren uous efforts of bearish manipulation to depress prices for spot cotton, the cotton growers all over the south are standing firm, in their heroic purpose to maintain the market and prevent the anticipated panic of rush sales, so confidently hoped for from certain speculative sources. The records show that the crop has moved free ly, until quite recently, and the year's obligations, due by the far mers, largely liquidated. Every banker, merchant and business inter .est in the- south should now give ev ery possible aid to the growers in the present lolding movement, until the price of spot cotton reaches the high level it should attain, and force the payment of its full intrinsic value. "The recent census ginners' re port does not indicates a crop in ex cess of 11,000,000 bales, due to the very short yield in the southwest. "Production in for.eign countries is reported at least 2,000,000 bales short as compared with last year. Exports of American cotton exceed ed 9,000,000 bales in the last twelve months, and the demand continues unalbated. "The money stringency is fast be ing relieved and the business will soon assume its normal level. Se1l no cotton that can be financed, or held. at present prices. The future strength of the cotton groming in terests of the south depends upon winning the victory in the present struggle. Let every man in the south do liis fii iauty and the reward will be sure - ,wift in the realization of higher prices. "Farmers, merchants, bankers and business interests generally favorable to the holding movement should hold mass meetings at once in their res ptive counties or parishes and de termnine upon a concentrated effort and an effective cooperation. Yours truly, "Har> Jordan, "President Southern ~Cotton Asso ciation.'' THE STRONG HAND IN CUSA. The Most Intelligent People in the Island Distrust the Native Gov erna,ent. Chicago Evening Post. When at the fall of the Palma Government in Cuba the United States was compelled to intervene, the taking of a census was recognized not only as a desirable or even neces sary measure precedent to the estab lishment of political order. but also as a convenient and plausible excuse for post.ponin'g the withdrawal of our control. This latter aspect of the matter' need not be bliniked, because it does not imply any wish or intent to keep that control longer than is absolute ly necessary to the restoration or rather the establishment of political peace and social order on grounds reasona'bly promising permanence. ~The census, howvever, is now com te, and there is a demand .among ~an leaders of the aggressive type fort a settling of the day for munici al and national elections based on its results. Unhappily, if surface indications may be credited and some well-in formed opinion relied upon, condi tions are still far from promising. The chief disturbing element is still potent. That is. the so-called Liberal party is still divided by the rival am bitions of (Gomez, who was the Lib eral candidaite against Palma and is very popular with the masses, and of Alfredo Zayas. president of the party. The potentialities of disor der in thi rivalry seem about as great as ever. Then there is an Independenit par y, whose leader is Gen. Mario Men cal. and which is blessed-or curs -with several aspirants to be esient of the Republic. The fourth party is the Moderate Pa'ma party, which up -to this time soffered no candidate and, rep eting the more conservative and ensible of the Cubans. probably ers American occupation for an fin jerio to the azardls of popular government in the present stage of political intelligence. Indeed, Mr. Palma, according to Collier's Weekly, has recently per mitted the publication of a letter in which he discusses the circumstances leading to the American in.terven tioa, and does not hesitate to say of his party thai. "the final aim of our noble and patriotic aspirations was not independence, but a stable government, capable of protesting the lives and properties and of guar anteeing the rights of all inhabitants of Cuba, natives and foreigners alike, and capable also to preven+t. li berty being polluted by anarchial armed disturbances.'' He feels that their action has been justified by "the sudden re-establishment of peace through the moral and material influence of the Americans," and deselares that it is "a hundred times better for our beloved Cuba to be in a dependent political situation in which liberty is prevailing than a re public independent of a sovereign, but "discredited and ruined by blast ing periodical civil strifes." It is evident from this very frank statement that what is probably on the whole the most intelligent class of the Cuban people is thoroughly distrustful of the Republican experi menit in Cuba and desires the aid of a strong hand in the maintenance of orderly progress toward civilized in dependence. The situation is painful indeed to all Americans who realize the re sponsibilities and dangers of our Cu ban relations. Retreat from them is impossible on both political and ethi cal groundds. All we. can hope for now is that the fears of Palma are either disingenuous or exaggerated, and that the situation will clarify sooner than seems likely. Remarkable Rescue. That (ruth is stranger than fic tion, has once more beei demon strated in the little town of Fedora, Tenn.. the residence of C. V. Pep per. He writes: "I was in- bed, e.tirely disabled with hemorrihages of the lungs and throat. Daetors fail ed to help me, and all hope had fled when I began taking Dr. King's New Discovery. Then instant relief came. The coughing soon ceased; the bleediing diminished rapidly, and in three weeks I was able to go to work.'' Guaranteed for coughs and colds 50c. and $1.00 at W. E.
