Can command a fair Price for Their cotton and (jet It. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association, held at Asheville, N. C., where representatives from each cotton producing state and territory were present, a report on the condition of the cotton crop was carefully compiled from returns of more than 15,000 correspondents, showing a condition ot 73 per cent as compared with a condition of K4 .1 per cent for a corresponding period 1 of 1904. An estimate of the crop *vt?. i j ? ? - 1 iui vi i in ncuouii uasuu oil reports I from the same correspondents indi-1 cated a yield of 9,588,333 bales of cotton. Taking this information as a guide in connection with the present enormous demand for spot cotton I by the spinners of the world, the ' present high prices of cotton goods, and the heavy cost to the produc- ( crs for cultivating and harvesting this crop, the committee agreed that ; eleven cents as a minimum price, J basis middling at all interior points, would be a reasonable and conserva- 1 tive price to be asked by the pro- 1 duccrs this season for their staple. ; It has been generally reported, and ' not publicly denied, that spinners can pay twelve cents per pound for middling cotton at the present time and still make good profits in the manufacture of the raw material 1 into the finished fabric. Peace has been recently declared between Russia and Japan. The whole civilized world is in a most prosperous condition and the spindles in all the cotton mills of Europe and America arc running night and day to supply the tremendous demands for cotton goods. CONSUMPTION UN PRECEDKNTEI). The enormous crop of American cotton reaching the unprecedented figures of nearly 14,000,000 bales has been easily absorbed by the spinners at an average price of nine cents per pound. Of this crop there was only a small reserve stock of little more than a million bales to be carried into the season of 1905-6 on the first day of Scpi.mbar ir no more man ten i?u=> lion bales of cotton are harvested s_! this season to be added to the small j reserve stock carried over from the Invnn lOHI IV, Ill- it.. 1-1 viu|i i?/v/1, buu uiuisui liiu wuriu, at the present rate of consumption, 1" will face a famine in raw cotton before another crop can be planted, cultivated and placed upon the mart ket. d Will the farmers take advantage of the splendid position they occupy, and like men assert their I rights to demand a fair price for ?r : this crop at the hands of the buyers? c* j Will not the merchants and local y , hankers throughout the south line le ' up solidly in unbroken ranks with r- the farmers against the combinations that are so actively at work to Qm depress prices and defeat the will of j the people? y MUST I?C OUR DUTY, .Every man in the South, no matd ter what his avocation, is expected IC to do his duty during the coifiing I- months and to throw his full moral and financial ability in the great fight that we have engaged in. The J "bear" speculators of Wall street " and London are using every device known to human ingenuity to depress prices. The international cotl ton spinners of Great Britain have )f combined to crush the present efforts n of the farmers to maintain fair prices, and exporters arc doing all j in their power to hammer down the r* market. The solution of the prob- , >c lem is easy and simple. The ability c of the farmers to win this fight is lH unquestioned. Stand together like i brothers, battling for the protection of your firesides and your homes, 'c your wives, children and your couny try. Stop selling cotton at present 11 prices. Call upon your merchants c and bankers to aid you in the heroic y struggle that lies ahead. Store your cotton in the seed wherever possible ,f and do not have it ginned until d later in the season. Storo Che lint a cotton under good sheds to keep it n dry on the farm or place it in wArc ,1 houses, whore the receipts are needed as collateral to borrw money to . t meet maturing obligations. All other lines of business borrow money, ;c why not the farmers, when by so 0 doing they can hold their cotton 10 off the market and materially advance its price? Pay no attention r" to the "bearish" literature being j printed and circulated broadcast ie throughout the South. This is done ic with but one object and that to dis d cpurage and induce you to sell your ic cotton at prices below its value. As d producers you know that the crop n is short and that unless you get ;e good prices, at least eleven cents per pound, there will be but little or no .

In Abbeville, cotton is being he all right. The prevalent price 0 1-2 cents. There is a gain of nearly 2,0 bales in the cotton receipts Laurens. T^ist year 540 bales we stored in warehouses at this tim und' this year at the same tin there are stored 1217 bales. There has been a great increa in Greenville, but the farmers a holding on still. mere is an increase of over 1( bales in Anderson. Down in Clarendon have a pret good crop and the farmers are st holding. 1 In Lee county very little of tl crop is lieing held for higher price I n Chesterfield where the farnie ire holding there is a gain of nea iy 2,000 bales. In Union there has lieen consl erablc gain in bales for the tot crop. The people are holding w< and very little is going on the nia ket. The Spartanburg farmers a holding well. The Barnwell farmers are ma ing" no attempt to hold, for they a satisfied with 10 cents and ha been selling at that figure. There has been a gain of 6' liales in Bamberg and the furim arc keeping their crop over. The reports would show til though there are some who are ai have been selling still the majori tends to hold until the minimu has lieen reached. profit in this crop. Hold your cotton and check \ the present, heavy receipts and d niand not less than eleven cents f every pound of middling cotton y< have to offer.

To the Farmers and Mcrcliai and Bankers of South Carolina: view of the present decline in t price of cotton I consider it my du to make an appeal to the farmc to hold their cotton off the markt 1 ask that the merchants and ban crs assist them in doing this. T1 merchants, by not pressing ther and bankers by lending them si ficient money on their cotton enable them to meet the obligatio that cannot be deferred. The price fixed by the cxecuti committee at Asheville at 11 con may seem to some rather high, b when the New Orleans conventic fixed cotton at 10 cents the difTe ence between the current price i that time and 10 cents was ve much greater than the current pri now and 11 cents. You will rec?f that cotton, when the New Orlcai convention assembled, way und geven, alx>ut six and a half. I standing together, by unity of a tion, by a little sacrifice and patric ism, the Southern Cotton Associ tion forced the consumer to pay the pnxlucer more than 10 cent Have you thought what that difTe ence in price meant to the indi\ dual and the south?
