WEEKLY COTTON LETTER.
(Confidential.)
Cotton In Home last Saturday was
11 3-4 centjS, in Cedartown 11 3-8.
Same date In Liverpool cotton went
up 30 points (American money.) New
York raised only 10 points, Cedar
town none at all.
What did you do with It,Mr. Spec
ulator? ' Friction on the wires wore
It out.” Well, well, did you ever hear
the like? But then any excuse Is bet
ter than none at all, and this one is
as good as many others given by you
speculators for the low price of cot
ton.
Say, Mr. Speculator, couldn’t you
have the wires greased real good so
the price wouldn’t wear out ^o before
it gets to Cedartown? ’cause if you
don’t, like it’s going now, soon there
wont be any price at all.
N. B. Please attend to this at once
>r it is a matter of bread, meat and
othes to folks in this country.
So you are going to see that the
armors’ Union Warehouse don’t
lake any dividends, are you? 1

I see it all now plain as day.
You can insist that Walter SchMcs-

tinder present conditions, other
members of the cotton ring won’t buy
cotton hero except from you direct or
indirect. You have our cotton mills
under contract to buy their cotton
from you.
So! You have the power to set
as low a limit as you please to our
local buyers. Beyond this limit they
cannot hid,without loss, because they
are compelled to sell to you.
Then If the Union Warehouse still
gets nearly all the cotton, you can
claim that you must help your ware
house, go on the streets,offer a little
more than the limit you allow other
buyers, provided it is carried to your
warehouse.
There now, the hale is safely lan
ded in your own warehouse, your own
scales, your own weigher, It can he
weighed rising beam or any other
Mr. Speculator, you have lived a-
mong us for many years, you havo
piled up a lot of money, profits on
labor. Do you think it 1h fair
or right to use this money to heat
down the price of our stuff, and cut
us out of many thousands more than
you make for yourself. ✓
If you think this, you are wrong
and you will regret it some day, pos
sibly when It Is too late.
Why not take the other side of the
question and help us to get. a good
price for our cotton, and be a blessing
rather than a curse to our people.
You could do this and make a leg
itimate profit. All the past would be
forgotten and forgiven, men, women
and children would rise up and call
you blessed.
This would he worth far more to
you than a few more thousand tainted
dollnrs when you come to die.

Dancing Birds.
One of the many strange sights on |

ty of waltzing ostriches. Their queer
unties have been duhcril)eif thus:
“When there are a numt>er of them
they will start oil’ in the morning and
after running u few hundred yards will
stop and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied or
perhaps break a leg. The mules pose
also before fighting and to make their
court. They kneel ou their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other,
while the neck is stretched on a level
with the hack and the head strikes the
sides, uow on the right, now ou the
left, while the feathers are bristling.
The birds npi>ear at this time so ab
sorbed In their occupation as to forget
all thnt Is going on around them and
can he approached and caught. The
inale alone utters a cry, which sounds
much like an effort to speak with the
mouth shut tight.”
