The Net Results of Conference in
?Washington Appear to Be a Better
Understanding and the Opening of
a Way to Eliminate the Cotton Fu?
ture Gamblers-Farmrs Must, How?
ever, Have Warehouses,
j Washington, May 1.-Cotton grow?
ers of the South met with cotton spin?
ners of the North, in Washington to?
day, and the Southerners indulged in
some plain talk directed especially to?
ward the mill men of New England,
with -scathing denunciation of New
York "cotton gamblers" thrown in.
It was the first occasion upon which
spinners and growers have met in
joint convention. All the great grow?
ers and spinners* association of the
United States were represented at the
meeting, and there was a fair sprink
lig of English and European manu?
facturers among the delegates.
The planters threw down the
gauntlet to the manufacturers. They
declared that they would "lock up the
crop in Southern warehouses with
Southern keys,, financed by Southern
money, and hold the crop" until the
manufacturers came ic them, rather
than put up any fonder with the de?
mands of spinners as dictated by "half
a dozen gamblers and speculators in
New York"
The meeting was held at the New
Willard Hotel, ostensibly with the
friendly object of effecting a joint or?
ganization of growers and spinners, to
the end that mutual needs may be dis?
cussed from time to time as occasion
may arise. The growers promptly
took the floor and kept it during the
greater part of the day. It proved to
be the liveliest convention that has
been held in Washington for a long
time.
J. C. McColl, of the New England
Spinners' Association, was elected
president of the new association, and
Harvey Jordan president of the South?
ern Cotton Association, was elected
first vice president.
Congressman Ellerbe, of South
Carolina, spoke first for the growers.
He said that from the nature of the
industry, it was not easy to improve
the methods of culture. This was due
largely to the fact that it is a hard
crop to handle with machinery.
Congressman Livingston said: "If
the planters live a fewr years and God
gives them a little sense, they will hold
up the crop and make the spinners
come to them instead of having a few
Northern speculators come into South?
ern fields, and buy a few hundred
thousand bales of dogtail cotton,
which spinners will not want, and hold
it as threat over the spot market to
break the price when?ver they chose
for speculative purposes. Treat us
fairly, and we will treat you fairly, but
we want the fair profit that is coming
to the grocer of one of the world's
most important crops."
Nearly one hundred cotton men,
representative of spinners and grow?
ers, were present, and the conference
will be -continued tomorrow, when
manufacturers will probably have
more to say.-News and Courier.
Washington, May 2.-After de?
nouncing the government crop reports
and more particularly the reports of
the department of agriculture, and
passing a resolution advocating that
the statistical cotton year should run
from August 1 to August 1, instead of
from September 1 to September 1, the
International Cotton conference ad?
journed today to reassemble next year
should it be deemed advisable by the
various organizations to do so. It was
found that the delegates were not
clothed with sufficient authority to ef?
fect a permanent organization.
When the subject of governmental
crop reports came up. President Mac
Coll spoke in commendation of the
census bureau work, but felt that some
radical changes in the methods of the
agricultural department should be
made. President Harvie Jordan of
the Southern Cotton association also
commended some features o: the gov?
ernment reports, but numerous othir
delegates strongly condemned them.
D. A. Tompkins of North Carolina
characterized them as "a complicated
system of guessing" while another
Southern grower denounced them as
"a speculative football."
Various remedies were suggested,
but as no delegates seemed able to
agree on a satisfactory plan the whole
subject was laid on the table.
President MacColl expressed the j
hope that henceforth there will a clos- |
er bond of union "between the North
and 'he South and between America '
and Europe in all thru pertains to cot?
ton growing and manufacturing."
Another topic of discussion was the
marketing of the produce which em- ,
braced the questions warehous?
ing, stability of price and relations be- [
tween growlers and manufacturers.
A. E. Calvin, president of the Farm?
ers" Educational and Co-operative
inion, declared that it long had been
che dream <>L" the cot ton grower to
ibolisb all intermediate agents who
evy toll unnecessarily on the pro luci
.n its journey from the field to the
The grower, he said, is the constant
nd persistent foe of all forms and
j methods of cotton gambling. Violent
j fluctuations of the market, he con
; leaded, are quite as disturbing and un
? profitable to the grower as to the
spinner. He voiced what he said was
the unanimous sentiment of the South?
ern growers to join in a ay movement
which promises to eliminate the gam?
bler from the cotton market, to reduce
? the marketing expenses, to expedite
! the delivery of cotton to the spinner,
and to give reasonable stability to the
j market price. He declared that the
South was so completely able to sup?
ply the world with cotton that with a
proper understanding with the man?
ufacturers there would be no necessity
for conducting experiments in Africa
and elsewhere. Direct relations be?
tween the growers and manufacturers
was strongly urged.
President McColl declared that the
prosperity of the grower was a mat?
ter of interest to the manufacturer
who would like to be able to eliminate
the speculative element. H2 inquired,
however, if the plan of constructing
warehouses and giving contracts would
do anything toward eliminating spec?
ulation and also if, after storing the
cotton in the warehouses, the product
for any reason went up, w;ould the
growers be willing to deliver it at the
regulation price they had fixexd.
Several growers insisted that they
would live up to their contracts, and
Mr. MacColl said he had no doubt of
that, but wanted to know what would
be done after the contracts expired.
He thought, though, that as in all
probabaility the period of the con?
tracts wrould be about a year it would
be sufficient to kill speculation in the
meantime.
The Mills' Proposition.
In the discussion which followed the
proposition was laid down by the spin?
ners and manufacturers that if the
farmers and business interests of the
South will build warehouses, store cot?
ton, finance it and put the product in
charge of expert cotton men to handle
it and practically be the medium of
bu zing and selling between the manu?
facturer and producer, they will do
business on that basis.
Mr. Jordan called upon his asso?
ciates to get at the proposition on a
business basis. He said they had now
squarely before them the attitude of
the spinners and manufacturers, and
he advised the growers to go ahead
and build warehouses, store their cot?
ton and get rid of the cotton damage
and then to finance that cotton and
sell it as the world needs it for con?
sumption.
He maintained that there was but
one way to get the co-operation of the
spinners on the proposition. The spin?
ners were not going to commit them?
selves to it or break up their present
system of buying cotton unless the
farmers and business interests of the
South provide better facilities for
handling and marketing the crop up?
on a business basis. When that is
done they would, he said, have direct
trade with the spinner.
Important Report.
The report of the committee on
baling, ginning and handling of
American cotton was received and
adopted unanimously. The report rec?
ommended the following:
1. That all bales be made standard
dimensions.
2. That light weight new burlaps be
used for bagging; or, if conditions jus?
tify, that cotton canvas be used.
3. That 10 ties be used on all bales,
with the Egyptian style of buckles
preferred.
4. That all cotton should be bought
and sold net weight.
5. That a committee be appointed
whose duty it shall be to have cot?
ton baled as above, and to submit the
same for practical test to consumers.
Barren of Results.
Washington, May 3.-Without
adopting a single resolution or outlin?
ing any course of action or any policy
the conference of cotton growers and
manufacturers became a thi<ng of the
past last night. Today many of the
delegates are sight-seeing. The at?
tempt vas made during the conference
to secure the passage of a resolution
urging the government to do away
.with the crop condition report of the
agricultural department. This was
finally laid on the table.
The growers wanted a permanent !
organization between themselves and j
the spinners that their scheme for
celling direct to the manufacturers
might be advanced, but this was op?
posed by the manufacturers. A diplo?
matic committee brought in a report
which was adopted, that declared
that the delegates from the various
associations represented had not been
empowered to enter into a perpetua!
organization.
The manufacturers were not enthu?
siastic about the plan of the growers
to build warehouses to store and grade
cotton and sell direct t-> manufactur?
ers rims avoiding speculation and mid
diene n. The spinners, particularly the
English, thought it was a good scheme
bu: intimated to tho Southerners tint
their plan to store cotton here and
control prices would require M larger
amount of capital than they could at
present command. Put according t ?
President MacCall. cf the Xew Eng- :
land Spinners' Association, the con- J
terence was a success. The latter said !
le- lid not expect ?he two interests. I
that have not cnnv t .gether ia a hun- j
dred years to agree, on all things at '
the first meeting. He told the con?
ference before adjourning that the in?
formal interviews were almost as ben?
eficial as the conference. The manu?
facturers better understand conditions
in the South and he believed that th*
farmers arc now bette* aware of what
the manufacturers want and when
they want it.
THE SHERMAN BREAK.
President Roosevelt's Prompt Action
in Recalling Military Escort Gives
General Satisfaction.
Washington, May 2.-General satis?
faction is expressed by Southern sena?
tors and representatives over the
prompt action of President Roosevelt
in countermanding Gen. Duvall's or?
der providing a cavalry escort for Rev.
Father Sherman.
The president's order was commu?
nicated last night to Gen. Duvall at
Atlanta and was at once transmitted
by him to Lieut. Campbell, command?
ing the detachment, accompanying
Father Sherman. The message prob?
ably reached Lieut Campbell at Resa?
ca, Ga., and it is presumed that by
this time the soldiers are returning to
the Post. If Father Sherman wishes
to continue his journey he will have
to make it alone.
A Woman's Prophesy.
? Mme. de Thebes, who predicted the
Palis charity bazaar fire and Presi?
dent Carnot's assassination, has fixed
np a bunch of trouble for 1906. Ma?
dame, pleasantly, even gaily, states
that 1906 will be a wild year, full of
strange, extravagant, incomprehensi?
ble and astonishing madnesses. She
predicts that Germany will be threat?
ened with general smash early in the
year, that South America is to be
torn with upheavals, that an uncon?
querable epidemic is to sweep this
country ; that Belgium will ? play a
curious part in the transformation of
Europe; that the attention of the
world will be centered on Tnikey land
in the near East; and that there will
be serious losses ic the art world.
How refreshing it would be if some
of these people who read the future
like an open book would see something
pleasant sometimes and tell about it.
