THE NEWS, CAUTEUSVH.ee, GEORGIA. DEC. S 190-4,
As to Cotton.
Cotton King Brown, of New
Orleans, urges the farmers to hold
their cotton for a higher price.
He has issued the following
statement:
“To the Planters, Merchants and
Bankers of the South: Cotton has
declined to a point below the cos 1
of production. Are you going to
sell at present prices, or hold until
you can get the market value for
;be balance of your holding? The
decline is unwarranted. To be
conservative, I will say that the
balance ff iis crop should bring
at least to cents at the ports, and,
jacctr.ffing to my judgment, the
! onh v, :\ t< obtain an advance is
; for tlie p.a iter to keen his cotton
on his plantation until the actual
demand i-> sufficient to enable
to pay the proper value for
the stuff. The merchants who
are carrying cotton should not force
what they have on the but
stand firm and demand higher
prices, or not sell.
‘ The banks all over the south
should stand by the merchants
and planters and not force them to
sell their cotton at present prices,
which they all know is below the
cost of production. These prices
mean ruin to the south. It affects
every branch of trade and the only
thing to do is for every man that
is interested in any manner, shape
or form to stand together, with
cotton at 7 i* 2 cents at the ports,
cotton plantations are worth todav
just about half what they were at
this time last year. Now, every
man that is interested in the south,
regardless of the character of his
business, should be interested in
keeping up the price of cotton.
Cotton is one of the few things
that the world must have, and the
south has a monopoly on the terri
tory where it can be grown, yet
they won’t take advantage of the
situation.
“There are sc* many things that
can be raised in the south profit
ably, why not turn your attention
to other things and raise less cot
ton? we have been told that we
need a twelve million bales crop
this year, and, now that you have
raised one close to that figure, they
say you must sell it at a give-away
price.
“Stand together, both merchants,
farmers and bankers, and you will
come out All right, but if you throw
j your holdings on the market you
may rest assured that the spinner
will buy it just as low as he possi
bly can, and I don’t blame bim
for doing so. It isn’t the spinners
of the world at this time who are
forcing the market down. It is
the bear speculators. Spinners in
every country of the world, with a
few exceptions, are doing the best
business in the history of the trade.
They can afford to pay from 9 to
in cents per pound and make a
good profit at the present prices
goods are briuging. The con.
suming world is in a position finan
cially to pay higher prices today
than they have been for a great
many years. A 15,000,000 bale
crop is worth io cents, and that
ought to be a low price for a
great many years to come, and it
Tests with the producer to say
whether or not he will raise more
thau the requirements of the world
and become a pauper, or whether
he will raise a moderate crop
another season and grow rich.
"But the present moment is tffe
most important one. Hold firm
stand together and don’t give your
cotton away at present prices.”
It will be noted from this issue
ot the News that all the candi
dates now in the race for aldermen
of the city of CartersviHe are run
ning subject to the white primary
which occurs on next Wednesday,
Dec. 14th. The harmony and
unity of sentiment thus mani
ested is matter for congratulation
and augurs well for the luture of
CartersviHe.
Congress will meet on Monday
and, after a few short months’
work, many familiar faces will dis
appear from Peruna -ads and
other places, says the Rome Trib
une.
A POLITICAL TRAGEDY.
Scene —Any old place.
Time —A few years ago.
Lnter Uncle Reuben Jones from down oti the farm.
Present —Col. Gasbag Johnson.
Col. Gasbag—Hello, Uncle Reuben! are you going to vote for
Cleveland, today?
Uncle R. —Cleveland be blankety blanked! I say vote for Cleve
land. Aint that ole hog dun put the price of cotton down to five cents?
No, sir ee. I’ll not vote for any old lobster that puts the price of cotton
down to five cents —not on your life!
NEXT CHAPTER.
Scene —Somewhere else.
Time—Not long ago.
Enter Uncle Reuben.
Already there, Col. Gasbag.
Col. Gas —Say, l_ ncle Reuben, shorely you are going to vote for
Parker today.
Uncle R.—Not on your tinplate. Aint we got the best govern
ment on the face of the yearth? Aint Mr, Roosevelt done made our
cotton worth ten and fifteen cents a pound? Aint every body got jest
plenty of money, and some to spare? No, sur, Kunnel, vou shorely
don’t take me fer a plum lunvtick, I reckon. Last year Mister Roose
velt made our cotton fetch 17 cents, and if he had got a fair shake at
them speckilaters what has been a robbin’ of us he would er made it
fetch a dollar a pound, and he will do that yit if we give him a chance.
I am fer Roosevelt, and I am goin’ to put in one big hot vote fer him
today. After he is elected this time I look fer prices jest to simply
paralyze the democrats. Cotton may go up to three or four dollars a
pound right off next day.
ANOTHER CHAPTER.
Scene —Same. #
Time—Right away.
Drive up Uncle Reuben.
Sitting there Col. Gas.
Uncle R.—Hello, Kunnel, aint you demmykrats a feelin’ putty
blue? Got plum snowed under. Well, times air shore goin’ to be
good now. 1 have fetched over my cotton today to sell it. I reckon
the price is clean out of sight by now.
Col. Gas —I reckon not.
Uncle R. —Say, Mr. Cotton Buyer, are you gicin’ 15 cents today?
Cotton Buyer—Nope. %
Uncle R. —You .aint? Why, aint Roosevelt elected?
Cotton Buyer—Yep.
Uncle R.— Well, what’s cotton wmh, then?
Cotton Buyer—Eight cents.
n Uncle R. —I’ll be blankety blovved if I’ll take it. You fellers air
jest tryin’ to rob the farmers. I’ll jest haul mine back home and wait
till Mr. Roosevelt sends out his government report, and then I’ll bet
she goes a jumpin’ sky high. Git up, thar, mule: I’ll jest drive on
back home and wait fer that report what Mr. Roosevelt is fixin’ to send
out. •
LAST CHAPTER.
Every thing ditto.
Uncle R.—Aint that government report out yit?
Cotton Buyer—Yep.
Uncle R.—All right. What she wuth now?
Cotton Buyer—Seven cents.
L ncle R. —The you say!

For Thin
Babies
Fat is of great account
to a baby; that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby is scrawny, Scott’s
Emulsion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as fat what it does
not need immediately for
bone and muscle. Fat
babies are happy ; they do
not crj T ANARUS; they are rich ;
their fat is laid up for
time of need. They are
happy because they are
comfortable. The fat sur
rounds their little nerves
and cushions them. When
they are scrawny those
nerves are hurt at every
ungentle touch. They
delight in Scott’s Emul
sion. It is as sweet as
wholesome to them.
Send for free sample.
tße sure that this picture in
the form of a label is on the
wrapper of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy.

NO POISON IN CHAMBERLAIN’S
COUGH REMEDY.
From Napier New Zealand, Herald:
Two yearsagothe Pharmacy Board
of New South Wales, Australia, had
an analysis made of all the cough
medicines that were sold in that mar
ket. Out of tne entire list they found
only one that|t hey declared was entire
ly tree from all poisons. This except
ion was Chamberlains Cough Reme
dy, made by the Cham her lan Medicine
Company, l)es Moines, lowa, U. S. A.
The absence of all narcotics makes
this remedy the safest and best
that can be had; and it is with a feeling
of security that any mother can
give it to her little ones. Chaberlain’s
Cough Remedy is especially recoin
mended by its makers for coughs,
colds, croup and whooping cough.
This remedy is for sale by Greene
Drug Cos. and W. F. Word.
