Cotton Acreage 1898
In an important letter, under date of
January It/th, Latham, Alexander & <x>.,
probably the most honest and reliable cot
ton experts in this country, take occasion
to give the farmers of the South some
sound advice.
The purpose of the letter 13 to warn
Southern plairtera against overproduction,
and an argument is presented that cannot
fail to impress every intelligent person,
in handling this subject in its broadest
phase, and, at ‘the same time, in the most
practical way, Latham, Alexander & Co.
say:
“it seems to us that the most vitally
inHM>rtant lesson for the South to learn is
that over-production of cotton Is seriously
harmful to the material prosperity of that
section.
"Whatever share the merchants and
planters of the South are to have in the
revival of business and general prosperity
of the country, now apparently well start
ed, will depend upon the profit that is
•niaxle in the production of cotton, a crop
worth $300,000,000.
“The total crop of 1896-96 was 7,157,346
Kales, and it was sold al the average price
of 8.09 cents per ix>und, or $40.82 per bale
acording to the record of exports and the
official (figures of the Bureau of Statistics
at Washington. The planters that year
made largo food crops, and when the
planting season the next year began, they
were fortified with every requisite to pro
duce cotton cheaply.
“Last year the total crop was 8,757,964
hales, and the average price was 7.42 cents
per pound, or $37.40 per bale, the crop
yielding, perhaps, a larger net profit than
for many years, because planters had few
supplies to buy.
"The success resulting from the con
servative policy which was pursued these
two years did not induce planters to ad
here to that line of action; on the con
trary, they increased their purchases of
fertilizers this year, and many of them
drifted back almost to the all-cotton prin
ciple, and planted the largest cottou acre
age ever known, hoping that the world
■would pay remunerative prices for the
staple, no matter how large the supply.
The disastrous result of over-planting
this year is already clearly shown by com
parison with last year, when the acreage
devoted to cotton was decidedly less.
Last year the amount of cotton marketed
to January Ist was 6,398.192 bales, the
average price realized was 7.53 cents per
pound, $37.97 per bale, or $242,939,350.
This year 7,260,033 bales were marketed
to January Ist. the average price realized
was 6.05 cents per pound, $30.49 per bale,
or $221,358,406.
“The planters shipped to market 861,841
bales of cotton more by January Ist this
year than last, and received for them
$21,580,944 less money. In other words,
owing to the lower price, induced by over
production, the people of the South have
lost on cotton shipped to market by Jan
uary Ist this year, the total value of 861,-
841 boles, namely, $32,724,102, and $21.-
580.944 besides, making a grand total of
$54,305,046.
"To further illustrate the ruinous effect
of over-planting, we make the following
•summary of crops and prices:
1893- crop 7.549.817 bales, average
price 7.69. proceeds $292,932,899.
1894- crop 9,901,251 boles, average price
5.79. proceeds $258.918,504.
1895- crop 7,157,346 bales, average
price 8.09, proceeds $292,234,437.
1896- crop 8,757.964 bales, average
price 7.42, proceeds $327,547,854.
“It will be seen that in 1893-94 a crop
of 7,549,617 bales sold for $4,014,395 more
than the large crop of 9,901,251 bales the
■next, year: in ’895-96 a crop of only 7.157,-
346 bales brought $3,315,933 more than the
9,901,251 crop, and that the crop of 8,787,-
954 bales last year brought $38,629,350
more than was received for 9,901,251 bales
marketed in 1594-95.
"Such Incontestable facts show what
enormous losses the South has sustained
by over-production, a.nd are sufficient to
cause a radical change in planting opera
tions.
“It is conceded on every hand that the
price thus far received for this year's
crop has yielded no profit to the planter,
nnd even though more than two-thirds of
the crop has been sold to this date, prices
ar? even yet below the cost of production.
“On account of the large crop and low
prices resulting therefrom, it is of vital
importance, not only to the South, but the
whole country, that the cotton acreage for
next year be materially reduced, in order
to advance the price of the greatest staple
product of the United States to a paying
basis.
"If the planters of the South suffer loss,
the people of the whole country must share
in it. The South cannot stand another
cotton crop of same dimensions as this
year’s, without bringing about disaster
and bankruptcy to planters and handlers
of cotton, and relative harm to the general
mercantile interest of that section. The
price of cotton is more readily influenced
by the inexorable law of supply and de
mand than any other article of commerce,
for no commodity is so sensitive to fluc
tuations, and when a superabundance is
hanging over the market, cotton trade in
ali its branches is adversely affected.
"Cotton raising in 'this country is vir
tually a monopoly—two-thirds of the en
tire production each year is readily taken
by buyers in foreign countries, and the
planters in the South are justly entitled
to a fair remuneration for their labor. An
over-supply is the only reason why they
have to sell 6.000.000 to 7.000.000 bales of
cotton to foreign spinners, without profit.
"The cotton crop can and should be
made the most profitable in this country.
It is wholly the planter’s fault that such
is not the case, as the figures in this letter
charly show.
“The cotton interest of every' kind,
everywhere, would prefer an advancing
market to a declining one, good prices to
poor ones, because trade in all of its ram
ifications is quickened thereby. Even the
consumers of cotton goods 3re so slightly
affected by nut advance of even two or
three cents per pound in the raw material
that they are not unwilling that the plant
er be well paid for his labor. But. if the
planting interests of the South continue
to increase cotton acreage year after year,
continual loss is inevitable.
“The mere fact that a large crop has
been planted affects the price adversely
at once, and continues to affect it until
the crop has been marketed, and if the
planters of the South would determine to
largely reduce the acreage, a favorable in
fluence upon prices and the cotton trade
of the world would at once become appa
rent. By the systematic and co-operative
action between the merchants and plant
ers the cotton crop must be kept within
reasonable trade demands or else destroy
the most valuable source of profit to the
mercantile and agricultural interest of the
South. For the good of all concerned, it
would be infinitely better any year to make
a million bales less cotton than half a
million bales more than necessary.
"The metertai welfare of the South is
more dependent upon her cotton crop than
upon all other sources of income com
bined, and it is entirely with thfe planters
and cotton commission merchants to de
termine whether the value of this crop
shall from year to year be a source of an
nually increasing profit or a source of dis
appointment and loss.”
What is Macon Going to Do?
An article elsewhere in today’s News
calls the attention of the people of Macon
to a matter vitally affeceting the City
(Hospital—an institution in whose welfare
we are all concerned.
The article shows that the hospital is
in danger of losing the proposed annex,
all though the lukewarmness of Macon’s
citizens. As is well known, Mr. T. B.
Gresham, of Baltimore, has offered to
build, as a memorial to his father, an an
nex to cost from $7,900 to SIO,OOO. He
places only one condition on this very mu
nificent gift, and this, it seems to us. Is
a very reasonable one.
The present hospital building. It ap
pears, is now mortgaged for the sum of
$3,500, and, as a sensible business man,
Mr. Gresham does not care to spend from
$7,000 to SIO,OOO more on the property un
til it has been freed from debt. He sim
ply asks that the mortgage on the present
hospital building be removed, and when
this is done he will more than double the
value of the property, and make of the in
stitution such a hospital as Macon would
be proud of, by the girt which he has so
generously offered.
He natuarlly feels that if the people of
Macon properly appreciate this institution,
they would not be slow to comply with
these terms. But he has been disappoint
ed in Chis. Although considerable time
has elapsed since Mr. Gresham’s offer was
made, only one donation has been offered
for the.purpose of 'paying off the $3,500
mortgage. This donation comes from Mr.
J. Dannenberg, one of Macon’s wealthiest
and most public spirited citizens. Mr.
Danneberg, upon hearing of Mr. Gresham’s
proposition, promptly offered SSOO to the
hospital directors.
No one else seems to have caught the
inspiration, however, and Mr. Dannenberg
stands 'alone as the only citizen of Macon
whois generous and public spirited enough
to give up any considerable sum of money
for such a commendable purpose. 'Al
though there arc citizens of Macon, some
of them officers of the Hospital Associa
tion, who arc as well able as Mr. Dannen
berg to make such a generous donation,
not one of them has 'as yet opened bls
heart to such an extent.
The people of Macon, as a whole, have
given most liberally to the hospital and
have well patronized every undertaking
for the benefit of that institution, so that
the man of average means cannot be ex
pected to do much more in this direction.
There seems but one way to raise that
$3,500 mortgage, and that is for some of
Macon’s wealthiest men to do as Mr. Da.n
nenberg has done. We can name a half
dozen men who could assist Mr. Dannen
berg to cancel this mortgage before night,
and never miss what it will cost them to
do it. 'lt does seem that ordinary patriot
ism and town pride would prompt some
of 'them to do the right thing just at this
vital juncture.
The Woman’s Paper._
Says the Chattanooga News:
"The afternoon paper is the chief wo
man’s paper; it Is the women chiefly who
read advertisements; therefore the after
noon paper is the best medium for adver
tisers. The more up to date 'the town,
the better 1s this fact appreciated, and
the phenomenal growth of the afternoon
papers in the great cities of the country
proves this fact. As our own merchants
catch on to the ways of the metropolitan
business men, they advertise more and
more in The News.”
As in Chattanooga and elsewhere —
where the merchants arc keeping pace
with the times —so it is in Slacon.
The News is the woman’s paper in Ma
con. They look for it, they read it, they
patronize the merchants who advertise in
it. They take an interest in it. because
it makes a specialty of news that is in
teresting to women. And because, too, it.
reaches them at an hour when they have
time for reading; not when 'they ate so
busy with household cares or with the
business of shopping or calling that they
can only scan it hurriedly. They read it
carefully, and the result is seen in the
responses which all intelligent advertisers
receive from the ads. which they plant in
The News.
To the friendly interest of the women
of Macon, The News attributes the greater
measure of its success.
We commend the following from the
Washington Post to those hair-brained
egotists who vainly imagine that because
the Democratic party refuses to accept
their doctrines it is doomed to destruction.
Says the Post:
"There is no imminent probability of
the demise of either of the two old parties.
If the Democratic party had been destined
to an early dissolution, it would have gone
hence long ago. The Republicans used to
call their victories “'Democratic funerals,”
but the “unterri'fied,” inspite of the fights
of its factions in 1860, and Its long series
of defeats following that disastrous year,
never lost its courage or lets its hope grow
dim. Even when the only man it had
elected to the presidency since 1856 man
aged to get up another factional fight and
led off many of the old leaders and their
followers, the party possessed such vital
ity that it polled the largest vote in its
history.”
The following from the Monroe Adver
tiser, Mr. Berner’s home paper, looks sus
picious. The Advertiser, in reproducing
an editorial endorsing Mr. Berner for the
governorship says: "While the state
press, in voicing the sentiment of the peo
ple of Georgia, is calling for a strong m.*n
for governor the following clipping from
Meldrim Guidon and reproduced by the
Atlanta Journal will be of interest to
thousands of Georgia Democrats who have
heard Mr. Berner defending principles of
pure Democracy, and who have watched
the career of this champion of the people
in the House of Representatives and in
the Senate of Georgia. He has the sup
port of no ring in Georgia but when it
comes to the people. Bob Berner’s courage
and fidelity finds ample recognition.”
The Telfair Enterprise says: “Hon. O.
B. Stevens should be the next commis
sioner of agriculture. He is honest, fear
less and magnanimous and withal compe
tent. The Democracy of the state owe
him much for his manly retibement from
the congressional race in the Second con
gressional district several years ago. The
Enterprise remembers his magnanimous
course in this particular instance. We
are for Hon. O. B. Stevens, without solici
tation from him or his friends. Sense of
justice to a manly man prompts us to
make this announcement. We say this
without casting any disparagement on the
present incumbent who Has. no doubt,
faithfully discharged the duties of his
office.”
The demonstration in Paris, and ail
France, indeed, over the Dreyfus case
grows more intense, and is marked by mob
violence in many places directed against
the Jews. The London Spectator says this
affair Is “the most important question be
fore Europe today,” by reason of the con
sequences of a possible revelation of the
base treachery of certain chiefs of the
army who made a scapegoat of Dreyfus
to save themselves. It is quite evident
that there can be no peace until the public
Is allowed to see on what evidence Drey
fus was convicted. There may be a revo
lution over It before the end.
Nat Goodwin’s wife gets a divorce and
$75 a week alimony. And Mr. Goodwin
gets—Miss Maxine Elliott, notes the At
lanta Journal. But ho can probably af
ford it, as Maxine will earn her own liv
ing. and. perhaps, help him support his
other wife.
Four thousand and three hundred di
vorce suits were brought in. Michigan last
year. It Is evident that the people of
Michigan have practically repealed one of
God’s laws.
Speaker Reed U fighting the river and
harbor bill for this year. He thinks Uncle
Sam should not engage to pay out $48,000,-
000 usxil he is certain of having the cash.
Is this one of the Speaker’s little pleasant
ries at the expense of the Dingley bill?
In India there are 80.000 widows under
the age of nine years. India seems to be
getting a surplus of widows since the
abolishment of her ancient custom.
Mr. Candler will announce his candidacy
tomorrow. Isn’t he a little late with it?
The Atlanta Constitution has scored a
dear "scoop” on him.
The supreme court of Massachusetts Is
wrestling with the question as to what
constitues a Democrat. At last this vexed
question is to be settled.
Prize fighting, of course, is indefensible,
but pugilism woudn't be so bad if it could
be devocalized, thinks the Chicago Times-
Herald.
The people must crush the trusts or the
trusts will crush the people, is the way
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch puts it.
It will take a man like Your Uncle Lon
to 'extract the bumptiousness out of the
Hon. Tom Felder, of Fulton.
It now apears that Hon. Buck Hinrich
sen wasn’t even offered autonomy, notes
the Chicago Times-Hera Id.
The Dublin Dispatch is first to climb
into the DuPignon baud wagon. But
there’s room for a few more.
What’s getting the matter with Czar
Reed? He failed to choke off a red-hot

of 'the term, but an invasion of the sea, the
results of earthquakes and new land for
mations. These new land formations not
only caused a flood, but by the change of

removed the tropics into polar regions and
marked the earth with the evidences of

Style and Fit
is a man's first
consideration when he is about to buy a
suit. Price is the next. We have studied
both very close, and we are prepared to
make you a first-class stylish suit for
$22.50. You couldn’t do better with a
clothier. _ s .
DRESS LOOSELY.
Short breathers are short livers. They
rob their bodies of vitality by taking too
short breaths, and thus not thoroughly pu
rifying the blood, which is the life of the
i body.
Fresh air is the life of the blod. Blood
is only liquid flesh. One who does not
breathe deeply of fresh air must die soon
er, other things being equal, than one who
does.
Dress loosely, move quickly, breathe
deeply and do moderate running and jump
j ing rope exercise every day, and live and
sleep in well ventilated rooms.
The simplest and best indoor and out
door breathing exercise to increase the
depth and slowness of each inspiration is
this: Take a dozen deep slow breat-hs a
dozen times a day. Morning and night
practice this exercise while lying on the
back with the knees bent.
Be sure to breathe softly and slowly.
Syphon the air in until all parts of the
lungs are brimful—lower, middle and up
per. If you do not dress loosely you can
not breathe deeply.
