Buv From the Man With the Best
SELL YOUR COTTON.
THERE
is NO ADVANTAGE
HOLDING IT.
IN
SO SAYS CAPT. J. H. RUCKER.
The conditions of the Cotton' Market
outlined by an Able Finlander—
The General Condition of
.the Country.
Tbe condition of affairs in the South
, n i the entire Union just now as to the
muuO uiariut io aiaaotiug wore atten-
tij.i tiiau anything else.
Cotion is at the low figures; money
is extremely tight; and men are dis
using in every community the best
n , e tiimls of tiding over their affairs in
this tiiiancial crisis.
Tti.‘absorbing topic of conversation
in thu .South at this time is the condi
tion of the money market and the price
of the fleecy staple. With cotton at a
good figure, the South can very easily
stand a financial stringency, but when
her staple crop comes down to seven
ivnts, the great pressure mast be
felt. and under such
conditions the business interests of this
section, stretched to their utmost ten
cion, must eventually break in many
places.
Last year about this time advice was
being L'iven by the Alliance leaders to
bold cotton for better prices. What i»
the advice given this year by those
whose opinions have weight iu such a
matter?
CAPT. J. H. KUCKF.lt*8 OPINION.
Capt. J. H. Rucker, one of the most
distinguished citizens of Athens, is re
garded as splendid authority in finan-
cia. matters, and his large expe
rience in the handling of cotto 1 ,
renders him pre-eminently fitted to
give an opinion on the question touch
ing the sale of the fleecy staple.
Capt. Rucker* was seen yesterday by
a Ban.nkk reporter and queite a lenghty
conversation was held upon this subject,
in which many valuable opinions were
given by Cap! Rucker.
“The extremely low price at which
cottou is quoted today causes all south
enters to s*u themselves to thinking on
this question,’’said Capt. Rucker.‘*Cot-.
ton is going at. a lower price this season:
than it has since the war. It is lower
than it has been in fifty years, and only
twice in sixty years buve the prices
dropped below those now quoted
This fact plainly convinces any rea
soluble man that something is wrong
in tbe matter, aud that it needs a rem
edy.”
THE CAUSE GIVEN.
►
"What is the cause? It can be an*
sveied very briefly The immediate
cause of low prices results from tbre»
thiui-:
l>t —The last year’s crop was a very
large one. It was at least 9,000,000
bales, and was unprecedented. The far
tners umlor advice held their cotton,
ami as a matter of faui lost a great deal
of money on it. Tbi
year they have been com
pelled to market the crop very early it
order to meet their obligations. The
prices have been lowered in that re
spect.
dud.—The crop this year has been
marketed at an ext.omely rapid rate.
Las year’s crop held back and this sea
son’ crop rushed forward, brings the
bulk ol the two crops together on tbe
market aud the result is seen in tbe
enormous amount of cotton now held
at American ports. A great many say
the crop is short this year, but the best
indications point to at least an 8,000,000
bale crop. There have already been
uiarketedo.OOO.OOO bales in three months
aud it stands to reason that in tbe next
nine months there will be3,000,000bales
added to the receipts for the season.
3rd.—The most potent reason for low
prices is the fact that tbe nation is now
passing through a terrible financial cri
sis. Taken all in all, the South has
never seen a worse year in regard to
money matters since the war. The re
sult ol this stringency is to force the
■uruier to sell bis cotton and to cause
tbe merchant to have much less money
to pay him tor it.”
These three reasons show clearly why
cotton is so low in price, and the far
mer is left to determine what he will do
w ith big cotton that is remaining upon
the farm.
SELL YOUK COTTON NOW.
"The truth of the matter is” said
Capt, Rucker, “that the ootton crop of
this section is short. It is evidenced
not only by our receipts being so low
but by the general tightness of the
money market here. Athens- will get
barely more than half her receipts of
last year, mostly on account of short
crops and to a targe degree from rail
road freight discriminations.
“Should the farmer sell bis cotton
now or hold it?” was asked by the re
porter.
‘Sell it by all moans,” was the reply
“I speak as il I was in the farmer’s
place and seeking the best
w ay out of the
difficulty. The prluc of cotton may go
still lower than at|pr^en’, although 1
btlieve it has reached its depth. If the
Cr , P should go to nine millions, prices
would go below sis cent*. While l do
hot believe the prioes will 'fit much
tower, if any, still at the same time I
do not believe there will be any appre
ciable rise; at lea-1 not enoucb to 'var
iant the farmer in holding his cotton,
if he holds it until May or June it .will
cost him at least one cent per ponrd,
*nd I do not believe tbe prices will go
U P that amount during this season
*he farmer has absolutely nothing to
8*in by holding his cotton.
On thg other hand it would be much _
for him to sell it now for wbat i l
only one thing that is absolutely nec
essary, and upon that proposition al
most every one will agree when they
look into the true state of affairs with
out passion or prejudice. The Cotton
Chop Must Be Reduced. There is no
donbt but that the people
are suffering from a lack
of money, hut be money plentiful or
scarce, the cotton yield must be re
duced. I know it is a hard thing to do,
and the farmers are increasing their
acreage every year. But under the

Be it resolved, that as a convention of
newspaper men, thoroughly familiar
with tbe various methods of advertis
ing, we heartily endorse this plan ai<
calculated to be of immense benefit tb
the State, and we commend it to the
people as such.
A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions of thanks to the city of Ma
con and the railroads for hospitality
and cour.'csies. and the Convention ad
journed a' five o’cl< ok.

with the issne on which the next pres
idential battle must be fought if the
Democrats are to win it, and order
congressional precedence Mr.
ought, in tho final vote in cancns,
the victor.
If we were required to express our
opinion, we should say that it must
come to this at last. But Mr. Mills has
in Mr. Crisp no mean competitor. Mr.
Crisp is the younger of the two, of con
ceded ability, of amiable character, ahd
if elected wid make a good speaker.
The effort at tempted in some quarters
to revive the old line of high tariff has
conspicuously failed of materialization,
ntvi never had anything buck of it.
From the first we refused to take stock
in it.
Mr. Cri*p is at least as sonnd a tariff
reformer as Mr. Gorman, and Mr. Gor
man appeared in the last Democratic
convention as the personal representa
tive of Mr. Cleveland. Mr. McMilliu
of Tennessee makes an excellent third
in the race for speaker. If it should
happen that neither Mr. Mi ls or Mr.
Crisp can secure a.majority in the can
cns, we should think Mx. McMilliu
would come next offering an admirable
compromise. He'is the youngest of the
candidates.
His ability, address and general fit
ness are unquestioned. Mr. Springer is
war horse, bnt there seems to prevail
rule of justice sending this one post of
national importance open to southern
Democrats to the south, and both Mr.
