JOHNSON IS URGI
WAR DN SPECULATION
President M. L. Johnson, of the
Georgia division. Southern Cotton Aa-
<.elation, Tuesday gave out a state-
-. inent to the farmers and other bust-
ness men of Georgia, In which he urges
them to stand togsther In lighting the
•i speculative manipulations of the mar-
' km, and to put themselves In a posi
tion where they will be able to hold
cotton In the fall for remunerative
prices.
~ President Johnson says:
r 1 a "One of the main purposes of tho
Riuthem Cotton Association, express
ed In Its constitution. Is to put an end
-t.. the manipulation of the cotton
market by speculators, whose control

t educers 1 failure to secure reuiunrratlvn
price for hi* product. I want to appeal
t„ and arouse the members of the as-
e .ri itlon and others In Georgia In op
position to this evil of speculation. The
county dlvslons can take a hand In

knocking out the bucket shop* and
the other mediums of speculation In
tids state. Efforts have been made to
•• ore the psseage of n law to put

t hat these efforts are successful.
There should be such a law in Georgia,
on l tha members of this association

n,nt end If they will but exert them-
o. iiea. Everybody knows th»t the stn-
t,-ileal position of cotton wnn never
