Cotton Market Very Low.
Editor Pre«8 and Standard: I am
certainly dtwnfounded at the cotton
market the last thirty days. In the
face of the feet that the acreage is
only a little above what it was last
yerr thus producing a 15,00fy$00
bale crop. We see the price way
down below the cost of producing a
crop such as the present year has
been. There is something rotten
about this aomewhere. As we are
not going W have a 15,0(Mf,000 bale
crop or anything of the kind. I take
several papers, all which pay much
attention to cotton and I have eeen
five or six had reports where I have
seen one good one. These reports
cover the entire cotton belt. So
where are all these bumper crop re
ports coming from to send the 'price
to the gutter before the cotton is
gathered., Lam persuaded to believe
the big weed cotton coiners this year
has misled the reporting world. This
of course, is caused by over supply of
rain which has fallen incessantly
since July 3 for this season. There
has been little plowing done since
Juna. Every cotton larmer knows it
is impossible to hold the August and
September fruit on cotton without
July plowing. To my certain
knowledge this has been the condi
tion over a large territory and from
South Carolina, North Carolina Geor
and Mississippi, come the report of
rain just as it has been here.
Grass and weeds have as
r
naural consequence took posses
sion of a vast area in cotton. It
was in 1903 this big weed fooled the
people and had them thinking a
mighty crop was being made, and the
following winter cotton went to 17cts.
Only a day or so ago I read a report
from a New York paper stating that
as an economic certainty, cotton
was seeing the 9c level, which would
at that price net, a handsome profit to
the growers, etc. These bucket shop
experts who write such letters have
never raised cotton and don’t have
much idea what it costs at 10 cents.
We of oonrse do get a reasonable
profit, but we don’t get what we
should have at any price. It now
comes time for the farmer to step
right np and defend his own interest
and pot a stop to cotton going on the
market at less than 10 cents. For
jndging by the way it is selling now
we cannot make it at a profit Barely
the farmers and teukers of the Soath
can carry one-half of the cotton crop,
and if they will only do so we will get
a living price for it, and if they don’t
we will get 8 or even lees.
I have observed closely and 1 can’t
to aave am see any justification in
ootson being as low it is. Where is
oar Boathern Cotton Awooiatkn?
God knows if they ever expect to be
of any benefit to the over-abused cot
ton planter, now is the time to lend
a helping hand. We shonld have
every state, county, township organ
ised and simply keep enough cotton
Off the market to save the people
from another destruction period of
low cotton. & Whore is our warehouse?
What has the chairman done? We
should have had it wmpleted by the
first of Sept to help to protect our
cotton from a declining market.
I notice, Mr Editor, since I wrote
my article that the association has
fixed the minimum price at 10c. Si
lets stand pat for it and give all our
support to the association.

A Friend
Result of the Second Primary Election
There have been some interesting
developidem* sin e th“ recent primary
election. The second race for ouuty
f
commissioner was between Ulmer,
Dopron, Blocker and Crosby—two to be
elected. The vote as it stood was very
close, Dopson receiving 1*70, Urosbv
y-t'J, Blocker 1»48, and Ulmer i»45 Neces
sary to electieu 953. Therefore Dopson
was elected. A third race being neces
sary between Crosby and Blocker.
*
This result was obtained by the re
fusal of the executive committee to
count the Young’s Island vote which
gave Ulmer and Dop>ou each 6b vote?,
and nothing for the other cindidaier.
This vote was thrown out because the
poll list did uot accompany the boxes
when sent in after the primary. This
the executive committee held Was suffi
cient violation of the rule to cause
them to refuse to couut the vote.
Ulmer thou appealed from the de-
ciaiou of the county execativ© commit
tee ou the grounds that the faiinre to
send the poll list was only a technical
violation of the statute, and for th£
further reason that Crosby and Blocker
had filed bat cue expense account for
the second primary. Subsequent to this
appeal six members of the county ex
ecutive committee tilsd a written re
quest with the county chairmin, M. P.
Howell, Jr, askifeg him to call another
meeting of the executive committee to
take the matter up agniu. This he has
done. The meeting will be held Thurs
day. It is not knowu what the outcome
of this meeting will be.
Latera—A telegram has just been re
ceived by County Chairman Howell
from the State executive committee,
declaring Ulmer elected, ordering him
to connt the Yoang's Island vote, and
to throw out the vote for Crosby and
Blocker because they had not filed two
expense accounts.
