Harvio Jordan says "Spinners" and "speculators" aro making a desperate fight. In a statement, given ont Satur day, President Harvio Jordan, of tho Soutboi n Cotton association, culls attention to tho combine ot speculators, spinners and others tnat hns boon formed against the farmers of tho south to dopresa tho price of cotton. Ho pays that despite this de cline of tho n\w product tho fin ished fabrics still hold n high price. Commenting on this Pros ido nt Jordan says: "Novor in the history of cottou production have organized forces combined to break tho efforts of tho south to maintain tho price of her great staple, as has been the onso during tho past three months. The spinning world now admits that tho south has at hiBt wakened to a realization ol tho immense monopoly which is within her grasp. To defeat tho will of the people, divert their attention from tho truo situation and to continuo to harass and sub ject thom to the dominating in fluences of foreign control is the true secret of tho present tremen dous fight that is being so persis tently m ado agaiust tho price o? the staple. Spinners, cotton buy ers, bearish speculator, somo wholesale jobbers in cotton goods and other interests have organ ized largely under tho leadership of Theodore Price, of New York, and osBOciutcs to depress tho price of spot cotton without injury to the prion of oof ton rm^Ac AH oing cad. ulOnwi . . ii msUMicp ha , ? e ? wu U ~i u -^tttififffifoft Nt--;.r .. * > . . ' "Tlx- coi ,ri .. ^v..o U..I1IAUU worm seems to bo combined to depress and to shacklo in tho bondage of slavery and serfdom. Tho man who boldly stands out for tho cot ton growers becomes at once tho genoral target for abuse and ad verso criticism from the world of centralized capital and industrial activity. The man who would try to depress tho price of any farm product below its true val ue, especially cotton, which is so largely exported, cannot claim to bo a patriotic American, but is simply an individual playing for a selfish gain at tho expenso of the wealth producers of tho coun try. Spot cotton is today thc cheapest American commodity on the market and tho entire south should stand loyally together as ono man to defend this staple from the ravishing raids of out wit; rs and foreigners. "Tho balance of the unsold por tion of tho present short crop, which will not exceed 1,250,000 bales, is worth at the lowest esti ". jmato 15c per pound on its intrin sic merits. Such a price for tho balance would not average tho vriiolo crop at a prico exceeding ll 3-4 cents to tho farmers; andi have repeatedly challenged the spinners to show by facts and figures Oh the cost of manufacture and selling price of tho finished fabric wherein their investments would bo injured. By their silence thoy admit my contention to be correct and every spot holder in tho south should stand firm for 15 cents and force a square doal." State Fair Ono Week. At a meeting of tho State Agri cultural Society last week in Col umbia it was decided to open the next State Fair on Monday and run tho full week. Tho Fair will begin October 22(1 this year. Now let the Railroads do tho right thing and give tho public a low rate. A Valuablo Salvo.

Ho deolares thero is no oauso for unoasinoss or alarm, for tho price of cotton is bound to roaot. Ilia address is good roudieg : Tu tho Fur mo nt, Hankers and M or phants of Goorgia-Tho cotton markot .just now prosonts tho most unusual aspect For somo limo thoro ha? boon an utmost daily dcolino. Who and wbat aro oaus ing it? Tboro is no doubt in my mind that Thoodoro Piioo and other Wars, baokod by tho combined capital of foroixn and New England spinnors aro doing tbo "bearing," and will continuo to do it KO long as it in within thoir powor. "It is said tho south bogan to buy fu turo cootraot8 hoi ow, about and abovo tho tho presont markot, Thier objoot then is to skako those people out aud Gil their 1 pookot8 with tho other fellow's money Price, of courso. would liko to \nako baok that $40,000,000 ho is Biiid io have lost last Henson, "It tho scoond plaeo thoy aro trying to acaro as many of tho spot holders as they can and mako them turn loose in ardor lo supply tho spinners with spot colton. Tliis, of courso, is tho spinnors who uro backing tho boars iu their efforts to forco down tho markot. This declino in tho niarkqt is oxtrouioly peculiar, especially in view of tho fact that tho statistical position of cotton hus not changed lt in ns strong today as it was when, porno months MUCO, Prioo mudo bis colobratod bullish statement that IO, 500,000 bales was worth 15 cents, and 11.000.000 bales and a fraotion was worth 12 1*2 cents. It is a faot known lo us all that tho present crop will not roacfi 10.500,000 bales of 500 pounds. lt is further true thot moro than ono-half of this crop bas been bought and bas goHO, and is goinx to tho animier for eveu less than ll cents average price. "Is it not further true that ibo foreign and No? England spinner hud rather soe tbo Sotbcrn Colton Association fail in its offortstbau to bavo almost anything oise happen which bo could imagine ? Did ibis spinner co oporato with you for 1 lot. colton ; bas bo over oo-oporaicd with you for fair and living prices? No, and bo never will. Ho will fight you to thc bitter end, for lie wants your cotton nt us small a prico as bo can make you take, Combining with Prico and bis associates ho will boar your product and force you, if ho can, to take starvation prices lor it Tho report bas como to mc that somo holders of spot ootton arc getting norvous oven frightened- Who and what aro they afraid of?
