COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1919
SENATOR HOKE SMITH
WIHS COTTON FIGHT

PRICE OF STAPLE WOULD
ADVANCE TO 40 OR 45 CENTS
A POUND.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 1.—Now

led by Senator Smith of Georgia,
and now that the farmers of the
cotton states are thoroughly

the money making crops.
With the aid of their other
brothers these boys expect
holding organizing themselves in a
movement to secure
a fair price for their staple,
al1 indications point to a steady
™ 1 substantial rise m the mar
ket u>r several months to come.
It has been predicted with
confidence by men who are in
position to speak authoritatively,
having full knowledge of the
world situation with reference to
the cotton situation, that the
price will go to 40 or 45 cents by
the first of next July. If the
upgrade movement appears to be
slow for some weeks yet, it is not
because the world’s requirements
have been supplied, for such can
not possibly be the case for sev
eral years. It will simply mean
that the textile industries of
Europe necessarily require some
lon . - T R will mean that , , j. the re
lease ^ of ship tonnage for the
movement of cotton is not yet
Senator Hoke Smith’s sueeess
f n i fio-ht to have all restrictions
on the export of cotton entirely

new and changed atti
tude. The spinner who now
needs cotton and seeks to buy
it, whether he be an American
spinner or an European spinner,

other words, the south s cotton
crop now walks into a wide-open
world market and commands its
own price.

around the world in a wave let

Europe are hungry—not the
Germans alone, but all European
peoples. Bolshevikirm already is
