GRIFFI& GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 14. 1909.
GRIFFIN IS A BETTER COTTON MARKET
THIS SEASON THAN EVER BEFORE
Many Regular Buyers Here Besides the Mills—Price Goes
Up to 13 3-8 Cents Yesterday.
Co’ton brought 13 3-8 cents in the
Griffin market yesterday, and every
body was happy except those- who
had sold their crop in advance at 10
cents. z
There is a reason for this, liesides
the general advance In the price every
where.
Griffin has this season a large num
ber of regular buyers, besides the
numerous mills that must have cot
ton if they propose to run—and most
ot them have to, no matter what their
head men may sav. •
This market opened lower than
some of the surrounding small places,
as it usually does, but it must Have
cotton and now that the season is
fully open it is paying the highest
market price for it every day and
taking every bale that is offered.
J. D. Williams is buyer for all the
mills, Rushton, Kincaid and Griffin,
except the Beyd-Mangham and
Spalding, who buy their own cotton
at their offices.
H. B. Neal, of McDonough, is a
buyer in this market.
H. H. Bass is a large buyer on his
own account.
F.'M. Kidcaid is in the market.
Mr. Steele is in the market for J.
B. Holtz, cotton broker of Macon.
Wyatt Baird, of Barnesville, has
been in the market off and on.
Altogether, the market is well sup
ported and no complaints of lack of
buyers has even been whispered here
since the first boll opened.
Another factor that has helped to
bring cotton here this season, and
will continue to do so, is the creation
of the good roads leading into here
from different t ections, enabling the
farmers to bring in two bales where
they brought in one before.
The bugaboo that is now placed in
the face of the farmer is the threat of
the mWe to curtail production unless
the price goes down. But the farmer
didn’t force the price up this time,
and is he expected-to help force it
down ? We have already printed the
expose of President Barrett, of the
Farmers Union, on this phase of the
question, and submit herewith the
views of others upon it.
The Movement to Curtail Manufac
tore.
1 The Columbus Ledger, published
iu one of the greatest cotton manu
facturing centers in the South, closes
an editorial on this subject as follows:
“The movement to curtail—rather
the scheme to bring down the price of
cotton and force up the price of cotton
I goods—had its origin in the New
| England Slates, and it. appears that
the cotton manufacturers of Europe
-—■ .. <7. ■■
are in sympathy with it. On Friday
the American.Manufacturers’ Asso
ciation at Charlotte, N. C., appointed
a committee to formulate a curtail
ment agreement which every cotton
mill in the South will be asked to
sign. The plan is to run the mills
less than the normal number of hours
for the remainder ot this year, and if
the situation doesn’t Improve to con
tinue in effect the plan for a part of
next year, if not the entire year.
“Should a scarcity of cotton goods
be brought about the market would
doubtless advance. In the opinion of
the Ixxlger, the price of cotton will
not decline. There in a short crop.
That Ls admitted. There isn’t enough
cotton in sight to satisfy the world’s
demand. While that condition lasts
the price of cotton will remain high.
“It appears to us that the cotton,
mill men shouldn’t feel so badly over!
the situation. They cannot expect toj
have such prosperity as they have
been having all the time. Con urns
ers are under the impression that
there has already been a very marked!
i rise in the prices of most kinds of eotf
ton goods. They are being toitl whed
they are asked higlwr prices son
sheetings, muslins ami other cotton
fabrics that the cause is the highs
s price of cotton. Are not the milU
getting any benefit of these highe
■ prices which consumers are asked t
f pay? If they are not they shouk
» -inquire the reason. Somebody i
getting the benefit of the highe
> prices of cotton goods.
1 “It Will be a pretty hard matter t<
1. get all the mills to join the move
;,menttocut down the output. Un
e less the great majority give it the!
approval it will, of course, be a fail
ure. The cotton prodo ers have n<
reason to be worried by it. The prlct
of cotton isn’t going U decline until
there is another big, pup in sight.”
What a South Carolha Paper Says.
Referring to a repeat that Southern
cotton mdls wilt el or down becanst
the price of cotton i too high th(
Columbia State, punished in a bij
factory center, says: I
“We presume that the reference if
to the tact that the ou hern cotton
mills have declared that they wilt
probably hive to else down. But
they are going to do • down, not b«
cause of the high pri ■ of cotton—at
least so we have bee told by a ootfr
ton hull official—bu because there
will simply not t>e ei >ugh cotton this
year to keep the mil running. This,
it will be seen, is at attitude likely
not to depress the <x on market, but
actually to stimulat it and make the
prices higher than ey are.”
If people with syn toms of kidney
or bladder trouble c Id realize their
danger they would i bout loss of time
commence taking Fc p’s Kidney Rem
edy. This great ren ly stops the pain
and the irreglarities itrengthens and
builds up these orga and there is no
danger of Bright's lisease or other
serious disorder. 1> lot disregard the
early symptoms. 1». J. Brooks.

: THEATRICAL.
“Haman Hearts.**
8o strong an Impression did “Hu
man HearG” make upon a prominent
clergyman tn New York that he wrote
to the gentleman Impersonating Tom
Ijogan vigorously endorsing the play
and Informing him of his intention of
trotting all the orphans of a local
asylum out to see it at his own ex
pense. And he did it.
“You cannot conceive,” said Man
ages Nanltevllte, “of the appreciation
of those youngsters at the change of
sermon thus afforded them, unless
you had listened to that gallery the
day they attended. With the ‘gods
present,’ ’’ he continued, “as often as
I have myself enjoyed sitting through
it, it was as enjoyable as a box of
monkeys sprinkled over with tears.
Quite often since have city schools,
whose principal were aware of the
great merit in the play, been given
half s holiday that the youngsters
might enjoy a matinee.”
