Pric* of Cotton i Ex-Govenor Manning of South Caroline is in Paris to look after coton demand and cotton prices. Advising J. R. Wannamaker, in t harge of the South Carolinu cam- 1 mign for cotton acreage reduction 1 lovernor Mtfnning says that c Surope lacks money and credit vith which to huy cotton, and that i f a big acreage is plunted, and big t rops ruised, the farmers can expect ? o more than 8 and 10 cents next fall nd winter. ' < Governor Manning is a very conervative gentleman, very well in- v armed, very reliable in all his state- '' tents. He has made this statement * t Iter a careful study of the European tuition, and surely the people ould be warntd by his advice. No man is more interested in the " rosperity of the farmers of the n outh than ex-Governor Manning* ^ ml when he puts out such storm sig- |( als us these, it were high time that ur people sought safety in the har- s [<r of 'more food crops and less cot- "l >n- P 'I he farmers of the South have the tuation actually in their hands. ^ hey can be prosperous next year by v roducting foodstuffs and such lings as the world must have, or j icy can be pauperized by planting c big crop of cotton and being forced j( > sell it at a runious price. There is not a farmer in the South' (| at knows that 10 to 12-cent cotton ( leans loss to them if not ruin and f( lything under 10 cents means a ,| ry bad condition for them. The esent price of labor, and evcrythir.j s nit the farmer must buy, makes it ^ possible for farmers to raise cotton ; such prices as they once sold it for ^ id to. fail to produce food crops, f spending on flour, for instance, j ado from wheat at $2.25 per bushel id corn meal from corn at over a illar a bushel, and meat from hogs from $15 to. $TH per hundred jv >unds means a condition in the >uth that would bring distress and ,u unt on every hand. Heed the storm signal of ex-Gover- -p >r Manning, and other reliable lead- (>| s of the South. Plant more corn ^ ore potatoes, more of everything at supplies food, and less of c<>t- ... n. A short crop means a longer icc* . a< Peace will probably be signed in a | pt \v weeks. A condition of peace j(| ill probably prevail by next autumn ; (j( hen that occurs, and the world's ^ arkets are opened to cotton, the de- | and will undoubtfully be increased',, iove what it is at present, but if the 1 t| pply is also increased, it will ex- ' ^ ed the demand, and put the price _| wn to a ruinous figure. ,j Foodstuffs are high, and indicu>ns are that they will be higher rath (| than lower.

J "Whereas, This movement is likemo an elTort to secure from the burIon and toil of labor the women and hildren of the South who for .more h.tn half a century have at the ex- 1 onse of education and culture been be victims of cotton and, "Whereas, It appears to those men iterested and connected with this j movement that some of our farmers nd business men have failed and re used to take the stand with their fenfarmers and J "Whereas, It appears that a clasif.cation of those objetors is to be s follows, namely, ' "First, Those wb > have heretofore lanted about 12 acres to the horse f cotton and consider themselves ninin mc scope of this reduction rithout any further reduction; I "Second, Those who, through the lilure of previous movements deline to enter this from lack of faith l its success, T "Third, Those who trust that the ispensation of Providence will send torms to destroy the crop of their L'llow farmers, thereby enhancing T ie value of their own; "Kou ifh, Those who, from purely i?lfish motives, refuse to enter into lis movement and reduce acreage T nd for their own train maintain their resent acreage with an increase of rtili/er or increase of acreage, havitr full faith in the success of the iovemenf and believing that their ' eighbors having reduced their acrei*e the price of cotton will be greatr enhanced and that they will doub benefit from the increase of acre- ' re at the expense of their neighbors. "Now, "therefore, Be it Resolved, hat we call upon our people in this 'ucial period of their history to have ' lat faith in each other and in the >untry that will so materially aid in iaking the movement a success that lose farmers who refuse to reduce :reage cannot be benefitted for raising, but will realize that this is a ^ usiness proposition and that in orer for cotton to maintain a substan- ^ al price or advance the supply must at exceed the demand and to the xtent that it is less than demand to lat extent will we obtain a profitable l4 rice and this can only be brought bout by a production of less cotton inn heretofore produced. "Third, That we remind the proviential farmer that the rain falls Iik?? on the just anil the unjust; that ie dispensations of Providence do ot know geographical divisions, secons and that we must be the vicms of a double calamity and that e fully endeavor to get the people i realize that the South must have rosperity or adversity as a whole and ot as a State; "Fourth; That wo condemn in the rongest terms possible as a slack- 4 r with all the meaning that the term irries in times of war and in times f peace that farmer or business man ho willfully, refuses to reduce his rreage and fertilizer thereby hoping ? prosper and enhance his own ealth at the expense and as beneriary of the sacrifices and unusual atriotism of his fellow men and that e call upon our citizens throughout le State to create that decree of ublic sentiment which will visit upon le head of such an offender the reatest degree of contempt and comlunity ostracism which is and ought > be bestowed upon those who have roven themselves unworthy of the spect of their fcllowman."
