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."

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.

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
