So Says President Johnson of Cot
ton Today.
Atlanta, Os., Dec. 3.—(Special.)
—That the actual value of cotton to
day Is 12 1-2 cents Is .the firm be
lief of President M. L. Johnson, of
the Georgia division. Southern Cot
ton Association, who says in bis
statement to the producers this
week:
“The bear raid on cotton Is ap
parently breaking and from now on
I believe we may confidently expect
better prices.
"The. actual value of cotton today
Is 12 1-2 cents and In my opinion It
is more. It cost us 10 cents to make
the cotton. To sell It at actual cost
of production meant debt, ruinous
t debt, In the preparation for making
next year’s crop.
"It appears from the Information
received' at this offlee that we have
not bad that cooperation from those
'who have control of our money,
which we had the right to expect
The producer Is being called on to
pay his debts, and there is a con
tinued and persistent effort to have
the crop sold and marketed at" once,
While on the other hand the buyer
has ho trouble in getting all.the
money he needs.
C. H. Gotcttmicnt Looks For Loca
tion for Experiment Plant.
Thomasvllle has an opportunity to
obtain another government station
as important and as useful as the
weather bureau. This 1^ an exper
imental station, for lngestlgatlon of
the making of wood turpentine.
The information comes In'a let
ter from H. C.<McFadden, general
passenger agent of the Atlanta, Bir
mingham and Atlantic railway. Mr.
MoFadden states that it- Is the in
tention. of the government to estab
lish such a plant,.and further that
a'representative of the Forestry De
partment, Mr. W. C. Greer, had call :
ed upon him relative to Its location
at some point on the lines of his
road. Mr. McFadden told him that
four points were available, Thomas
vllle, Moultrie, Fitzgerald and Doug
as.
, Agent David Porter has sent the
names of a number of Thomosville's
aggressive citizens to Mr. McFad
den, who will turn them over to Mr.
Greer In order that the government
representative may take up the mat
ter wit hthem through correspon
dence.
This would seem to be a case for
Immediate action and the Board of
Trade will take the matter up at
once. All citizens who are inter
ested should show their Interest by
communicating with Secretary Coop
er, or President Neel of the Board of
Trade. , The bther towns mentioned
are all wide awake places and It any
thing Is to be done by Tbomasville
it jnust be done at once.
The advantages of the experimen
tal station to the town are manifest,
and on the other band Thomasvllle,
In the heart of the turpentine belt,
Is the logical place for the station
to be established. The opportunity
and the place have met. If the cit
izens will show the proper Interest
In the matter the plant will come
here. t
