i > HOLD COTTON SAYS JORDAN. W\ ^jSlj^dont of Southern Cotton Assofj c^at^on Urges Fanners to II Willi Stand Firm. S f^ryesident Harvie Jordan, of the K rn 'Cotton Association, lias isRW'sued an address to the farmers of )/ ' tho south to hold firm and keep their Br cotton until the price reaches the [ level it should attain. Farmers arc j K also urged to hold mass meetings in I their counties and decide upon Cottle centrated effort. The letter is as follows: "Headquarters Southern Cotton Association, Atlanta, Ga., November Hf 27, 1907.?In the face of tho present monetary stringency and tho strennous efforts of bearish manipulation to 'depress prices for spot cotton, the |Hk. cotton growers all over the south are standing firm, in their heroic purpose | to maintain tho market and prevent the anticipated panic of rush sale.?, so confidently hoped for from certain speculative sources. The records show that the crop has moved freely, until quite recently, and the year's obligations, due 'by the fari mors, largely liquidated. Every banker, merchant and business intcr est in tho: south should now give every possible aid to tho growers in the / present holding movement, until the price of spot cotton reaches the high level it should attain, and force the payment of its full intrinsic value. '"Tho recent, census ginncrs' report does not indicates a crop in excess of 11,000,000 bales, due to the very short yield in the southwest. 4 ''Production tin foreign countries is reported at least 2,000,000 bales ^ short as compared with last year. Exports of American cotton exeecd| ed 0.000,000 bales in the last twelve months, and I lie demand continues K. unabated. j "Tho money stringency is fast be/ ing relieved and the business will ./ soon assume its normal level. Sell (no cotton that can be financed, or held, at present prices. The future strength of the. cotton growing in|[ terests of Ihe south depends upon j| winning the victory in the present $ striuwrle. Let every man in tlie south f do his full duty and the reward will be sure and swift in the realization of higher prices. > "Farmers, merchants, bankers and * ,' business interests generally favorable to the holding movement should hold \^i mass meetings at once in their resyt' . pective counties or parishes and determine upon a concentrated effort and an effective cooperation. Yours truly, "JTarv:- Jordan, 41 President Southern 'Cotton Association." THE STRONG HAND IN CU^A. / The Most Intelligent People in tho Island Distrust the Native Gov} i eminent. ,jj Chicago Evening Post. pV* When at the fall of the Pahna Government, in Cuba the United States was compelled to intervene, the taking of a census was recognized not only as a desirable or even necessary measure precedent to the establishment of political order, but also as a convenient and plausible excuse for postponing the withdrawal of our control. ^ This latter aspect of the matter 1 need not be. bliivked, because it does \ not imply any wish or intent to keep ' that control longer than is nbsolutci ly necessary to the restoration or rv rather the establishment of political \v peace and social order on grounds V v \ reasonably promising permanence. '''ie census, however, is now comIe, and there is a demand among an leaders of the aggressive type a settling of the day for mnniciV"d national elections based on results. nhappily, if surface indications ' be credited and some well-inned opinion relied upon, condis are still far from promising, chief disturbing element is still nit. That is, the so-called Liberal y is still divided by t!ie rival aniens of Clonic/, who was the Libcandidaiie against Pal ma and is r popular with the masses, and Alfredo /ayas. president of the y. The potentialities of disorin (his rivalry seem about as it. as ever. lien there is an Independent parrt hose leader is Gen. Mario Mcn, and which is blessed?or curs witli several aspirants to be ident of tho Republic. lie fourth party is the Moderate 'aVna party, which up>to this time offered no candidate and, reputing the more conservative and onsible of the Cubans, probably rrs American occupation for an finite period to the hazards of popular government in the present stage of political intelligence. Indeed, Mr. Pahna, according to Collier's Weekly, has recently permitted the publication of a lot-tor in wliicli he discusses the circumstances leading to the American intervention, ami does not hesitate to say of his party that "the final aim of our noble and patriotic aspirations was not independence, but a stable ijovor.vmonit, capable of protecting the lives and properties and of guaranteeing the i*ights of all inhabitants of Ouba, natives and foreigners alike, and capable also to prevent liberty being polluted by anarchial armed disturbances." lie feels that their action has boon justified by "the sudden re-establisbmcivt of peace through the moral and material influence of the Americans," a'.vd , ddclares that it is "a hundred times better for our beloved Cuba to be in a dependent political v situation in which liberty is prevailing than a republic independent of a sovereign, bnl discredited and ruined by blasting periodical civ-il 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 experiment in Cuba and desires the aid of a strong hand in the maintenance of orderly progress toward civilized independence. The situation is painful indeed to all Americans who realize the responsibilities and dangers of our Cuban relations. Retreat from them is impossible on bo4h political and ethical ground's. All we can hope for now is that the fears of Palmn are cither disingenuous or exaggerated, and that the situation will clarify sooner than seems likely. Remarkable Rescue. That Jruth is stranger than fiction, has once move been demonstrated in Ihe little town of Fedora, Tenn.. the residence of C. V. Pepper. lie writes: "I was in- bed, entirely disabled with hemorrihages of the 1 units and throat. Doctors tailed to help me, ami all hope had fled when 1 began taking Dr. King's New Discovery. Then instant relief came. The coughing soon ceased; the bice-ling diminished rapidly, and in three weeks 1 was able to go to work." (iuaranteed for coughs and colds 50c. and $1.00 at W. E.
