' 4' " * * > A . / The Cotton Situation. Slowly but surely tbe whole cotton rorld Is oomtog to reoognlzs the immense significance of organizUion mong the farmers of the Southern j tates, says a writer from New Or aans In the Charleston Post. The writer goes on to say that there have isen many organizations of farmers n days gone by but not until the 1 resent vear was such a movement vor attempted along practical lines, >enee, not until 1905 were practical esults evor attained. The organizilon referred to Is the Southern Cot ,on Association, Viewed from old standpoints, the ? ltuatiun today is remaikible In many ^ vays, principally b ctuse the speouator has been very largely eliminated is the dominating price m king fac c or This has hi en brought about olely through the logical etieot of the i ntelligent marketing of the ere p by ihe farmers themselvis, the couse I lent pressure on the spinners, and c lie natural fear that in future raw i lotton supplies will not be so easily j ibtain.-ibie as in the clays when the ( 'armor'-* liot thought was the dlspo t dtlon of liis crop to the tirst comer ( who had the cash to buy It with. This is all just as it should be and . wl l Inevitably work wonders in the rebuilding of tlie cotton growing States, provided the farmers do not jet side- tracked or over do the thing, j There is now uo reason to fear the j levelopment of other cotton growing ie:ds in other parts of the world, but ihou d the healthy growth of the t worlds spinning and weaving Industry ( re cbecKed by the American farmer ihe development work of the Hritlsb ( Jottou Growing Association will re- r seive an immense impetus. The practical ccurHe for the South 8 beyond a doubt, the raising of ample xitton each year, the marketing of ihat cotton slowly and to the best lOHslble advantage, the diversification of crops, the raisin# of all farm upplles possible, and the avoiding ot ill such schemes as proposed by Mr. Sully for the cornering of tlie cotton narket and the gambling in cotton 'utures. In spite of the fact that hedge soling usually depresses the pr.csof the ipeculative market in the fall of tlie rear, the intelligent marketing of ipot cotten this season has exerted luch a powerful influence on the trade generally that both spots aid hptlons save advanced nearly two cents a pound. As to the future of the staple, cautious operators as a rule now agree that with the worlds trade in manufactured goods at high water mark no very serious inroads in the price ire likely before new crop considerations next spring begin to atfect the views of operators and spinners and not then unless new crop prospects ire all bright. Meanwhile there is an excellent prospect of shortage in the better grades of cotten, and a tendency imnrir unnfmnn fn l- 1 - *m> < \yti ^ O^V/UUUUU UU HUiU M1J11 I for wider differences, or to hold such , cotten out in small lots as an Induce , mentto buyers of the low grades.

'resident Fmith 8ays the Prospect Everywhere is Pncouragii g. rhe lleport of Crop Condition* lusued by the ,Southern Cotton Annotation <h Very C noourafctnK' The Columbia State says Mr. E. D ?mith, field agent of the Southeri Jotton Association was in Columbia ast week and was elated over thi iottOD conditions, Hesair1: "1 am just back from a tour of thi West where I have been in the in erest of the Southern Cotton asso lialion, to n.eit the executive comDtttee of the T :xas division. In At auta I was joined by President Jor Ian and ?e together went, via Vicks )urg and Snroveport. This carrier is througn Mississippi, L lutslaoa aDd i part of T? xas. Throughout M ssis ;lppi the co<ton crop Is certainly a< hort or snorter than has been reportd. The frost and worms, so far as uuro v uiuu wenr, nave complete y destroyed all prospect of anything Ike a crop from the late cotton or toy :rop of the old cotton. "From Vlckaburg to Shreveport, yet ween whicn two points is the delta >f the Mississippi and Ked rivem and inquestionably the finest cotton lands f the world, there will not be caadt uore than 45 to 50 per cent, of last ears yield. Near Monroe, La., where s the very cream of the delta, thcrt s practically no cotton at all. Thousands of acres have been abandoned md tin usands have been only partiilly tended, with a net result that .tie Loulsiaua crop Is practically a allure. ''At Sheveport, where wo missed mnnectlun and had to lie over lor six lours, we had au opportunity of In ,erviewlng cotton men and business nen and they confirmed the impresilon that we had received from our iwn observation. From Sheveport to Dallas we went through a portion of Aie best cotton lands of Texas and .he same conditon obtained through>ut this portion of the State. At Dallas the State fair was In progress ind representatives of evey connty In &he State, also the members of the sxecutive committee, were present. "The facts, as stated by these dif ferent parties, are to the t if act that in the eastern, central and northern portions of Texas the crop was from JO to 36 per cent, short of last year. Ln western Texas, where the boll weevil Is most numerous, his ravages nave uui oeen so great this year as a oonsequence the western Texas crop Is as good or better than last year's, but it must be understood that this means a restricted area and the promotion per acre does not exceed more than one half crop this yeer as compared with the same territory without the weevil. 1 think it would be a conservative estimate to place the shortage in Texas alone at 1.200,000 bales. From TiXia we returned via Texarkana and Memphis. ''This took us through the entire State of Arkansas where we had ample opportunity of seeing the crop in that State and practically the same per cent, of shortage was evident. The frost In Arkansas seems to have been more destructive than in any other State wi*h the exception of [lorthern Georgia. "From my observation of the crop In every State, for I have visited all ave Florida, the estimate hsued by die Southern Cotton association naking the crop for this year 9,444,* )00 bales as ginned (which does not nolude of course, lluters) is a conservative one. "Certainly we have succeeded at ast in convincing the world of the ihortness of this crop, hence the price lxed at Asheville has been reacued. [ do not feel that 1 have the right to advise the farmers to hold beyond >his price, but it is my opinion that ve will see much higher prices in the mmedlate future and even thnmyh 11 ,ents has been reached, it will not be vlsdom on the part of the farmers to uhu the coiiiiou to market, for the eason that it might have a tendency o depress prices temporarily. 1 think hat those who will hold the.r coton and market it slowly from cow in will be amply rewarded as those , vho have loyally stood for the 11 ents minimum. "I congratulate the State and the outh on its winning another victory. ( iurely by this time every one will ( ecognize the woik accomplished by . he cotton association and will be billing to give it their support. It is iseless to attempt any argument to in ve Live part we have played in , Qaiafcalrdng the pricof cotton. We iave gained every point we set out to aiu and have accomplished our oh* ( jet, which is to prove to the world hat. we can and will control southern ' cup in the Interest of the southern ( otton growers. On account of large eceipts from weak holders throwing 1 heir cotton ou the market, brcauso of < he pressure of debt, the bears were ble through t heir great leader to de- 1 rcss the price of cotton during the < oonths of September and October, nd even to frighten some whose faith ras not as strong as it should be, but ,ow that the position is securely in < ur hands, 1 think simple Justice de- 1 aautz that wo hold the balhi.oo of ? ur crop until those who took ad vanage of the weakness of our position I n October and September shall be i aacie to pay back all that thry gained iy this advantage, as well as a good rotH on the annoyance they caused ; 8.

A Common Honao lluling* The president has a way of doing things that must be calculated to well nigh take away the breath of the red stickler at Washington. Recent ly he authorized an amendment to the civil service rules providing that here after a cabinet otticer shall have power summarily to remove, without a hearing, any civil service employe In his department who has been gull by of misconduct, or who is inettlclent In the performance of his duties. Heretofore unworthy employes have oeen known to take advantage of their civil service status to bold their iob, and have defied their superiors.
