Alfred Aldrich returned last week from a“ flying visit to Dallas, Texas, where he went to attend a meeting of the directors of the South ern States Cotton Corporation, in which he is interested. The object of the Corporation is to bring about a fixed price of fifteen cents a pound for lint cotton. The Colonel thoroughly en joyed his visit end was greatly impress ed by the progressiveness of Dallas, which is growing by leaps and bounds. While there he was invited by a real estate man to take a ride over the city in his automobile. Col. Aldrich was also taken into the country near Dallas, and it was while the party was riding through the rich prairie lands that the following conversation took place: r "This land," remarked the real estate dealer, "will be easily a good invest ment at 1200 per acre for farming and to live on in five years, for beginning with the next crop the fanners of Texas will receive the fixed price of fifteen cents for their cotton and two cents a pound for their cotton seed, which will represent a clear profit of over fifty dollars per acre. Land that will net over fifty dollars per acre is cheap at two hundred, is it not?" Continuing, he said: "There is only one investment that a man can make of money that will pay better than to put it in prairie land and that »s to put it in the capital stock of the Southern States Cotton Corporation, which in less than five years will rate about like Standard Oil” "I own some of that stock and it pleases me to hear you speak that way" replied Col. Aldnch “1 believe the Southern States Cotton Corporation will achieve a grand success if it can secure the necessary capital to finance the cotton that will be offered for mar keting, but it will require so much money tod > it that.although the method may be correct, it may fail fur want of capita! to operate it The gentleman replied What Texas tan i>> with its cotton crop, producing as it does nearly one third of the tota crop an> other cotton state ought to tw able to do with its crop, and Texas fifiaru ers will take and c*rr\ e\erv dul.ar senp issued b> the Southern Stales C otton C of jxoratjufi next season *s the) did last s,a»on Thtrt) fi\e of the hank* of Text* last season handled the v rip of the Corporation and there is not a banker who handled it but will tell you that it is dollar for dollar as good as a greenback from any national bank, and that he will handle it again the coming season if presented at his bank "The Southern States Cotton Corpora tion has contracted for over a million bales of Texas and Oklahoma cotton at fifteen cents a pound and wrill contract for two million bales more at the same price, and as it contracts for the cotton it places it with the mills for future de livery It is a purely busineaa trans action all round Hankers so under stand it from their experience with the Corporation, which they regard just the same as they do a property man aged life or fire insurance company , and deal with it accordingly "There has been »o much specula tion that anybody buying cotton to hold is considered a speculator by people who do not comprehend his method, but the Corporation is no more a specu lation than a mill manager is who buys cotton at a price in Septewaber to spin in January or March, if, when he •tores that cotton in a warehouse, he has made a contract to place kua manu factured stuff somewhere at a price will yield him a profit-*’ Wa Need.
