WAR ON SPECULATION Fr. Mdent M. L. Johnson, of the Georgia division. Southern Cotton Ai re elation, Tuesday gave out a state ment to tho farmers and other busl- 'V nt-aa men of Georgia, In which he urges . them to stand together In fighting the 1 speculative manipulations of the mar ket, and to put themselves In a posi tion where they will be uble to hold cotton In the fall for remuneratlva prh-oe. H President Johnson says: • One of tho main purposes of tho Southern Colton Association, express ed In Its constitution. Is to put an end ■>t.> the manipulation of the cotton ■MM by speculators, whose control ,-of t to market has resulted In the pro- ■tlurers* failure to secure remunerative < price for hia product. I want to appeal tn and arouse the members of the as- a.u'Ution and others In Georgia in op- position to this evil of speculation. The county dlvatona can take a hand In this matter and can do much toward 1 knocking out ths bucket shops and ii., other mediums of speculation In this state. Efforts have been madu to secure the passage of a law to put ' an end to this open speculation In Georgia, but we want to see to It that then efforts are successful. Th, re should be such a law In Georgia, amt the members of this association can do much toward bringing about that end If they will but exert them- e*o*a. Everybody knows that the sta tist!, position of cotton was never stronger than It la today, and the re- cent market, therefore, Is tho re- auii of manipulation and speculation Tin- mills are sold way ahead, and Ih.te Is a steady demand not only for Hi. raw malarial, but for the finished pi oduqt of all kinds. Yet the market ha- declined solely because of the sp— a stive manipulation. Let's get tn noli, ind Mot it out, for It means the pt . i i er's salvation.

There le every Indication of this, the seml-centennlsl commencement, being the largest und most successful In the history of Newberry college. Ing fall la the time tq force up cotton to a llxed minimum price, because then the consumers of the raw material wilt be shortest of supplies. Now Is the time for you to put yourself In a position where you will not be forced to sell your cotton at the prices of fered for the new crop, unless those prices are remunerative or are the prices llxed by the association. I have called attention to the Importance of, this principle before, and I trust ihe producers have been proceeding on this line. Keep It up; make yourself In dependent, and you will be In a posi tion not only to demand, but to get for your product a |>rice that will pt for your labor and your Investment. "M. L.
