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.
