LREHOUSES FOR SOOTH'S COTTON. inners RcGognizo Growers?By This Fall They Will See That Speculatioii Must Be. Done Away With. Says Smith. "While the conference between : 0 cotton spinners and the cotton ri overs was not all that 1 wished for, was a great beginning and forced ion the Knglish spinners and the ; inners of Kail Itiver the fact that : y must hereafter recognize the ; i tton grower as a factor in their' ' rations instead of the cotton dilator," said Mr. K. 1). Smith, 'i 10 was in the city yesterday. Mr. i nth is just back from Washing- 1 1 where he attended the conferee as a meinber of the executive < inmittcc of the Southern Cotton \ '.oeiation, and he is very enthusi- ? ic over the results and the out- ' ?k for a better understanding, ten the crop of this year is baled, i 1 Itrielly summed up," he con-' -41.. . i : ?1 I ii'>1, ii'iiu ^iiiTiiicr ami grower i rned something.

At present my' iii is toorgani/ea warehouse com- i ny in every State in the South, warehouses to be built by anas- : sment on every cotton.hale. in : so warehouses the farmers could 1 ae their cotton and obtain ad- < iices at the price to be fixed by cotton association, not by the M verpool, New York and New Or- < us cotton exchanges." Mr. : litli said this last very emphatilly. lie has fought persistently < a farmers' control of the farms' product and never loses opp >rnity to bring this out. "Should there be a sale of our irehoused cotton over the price.' ;cd by the association, which may j ppen because of an extraordinary . mand for the staple, we would re to each farmer depositing his tton in the warehouses his prorashare of the advance, first de- i icting what is necessary for the I penses of running the warehouses ! <1 insurance. All of this was j ne over at the meeting although was not enlarged on to any great .tent. We, however, will show e Fall Uiver and English spinner t that we control the market. As r the Southern spinners who at-! nded the convention, all were enusiastic over the schemes advanced us and assured us of their )??>..-4 'i Mipport. "Suppose you build your ware>uses and a small number of farms refuse to deposit their cotton ith you?" he was asked. "Why we will simply buy their tton and prevent them from placg it on the market." replied Mr. nith easily and in the manner of le who had thought all of this out fore. Mr. Smith will attend a meeting the executive committee to be Id in Jackson, Miss., on May 150, which the matter of organizing ate companies to build warenises will bo discussed and some eisivo action taken at once.? ate.
