During the-past year this well

has been competing with all
HANDLED 1 dealers in the country for "the
lurge crosstic busiucss to (!ubt,

Record for Last Month
SEVEN VESSELS LOADED, CARRYING
A TOTAL OF 188,000 CROS3TIK4—
MANY IMPROVEMENTS HAVE
BEEN MADE AT THEIR WHARVES
From The Brunswick Daily News.
In these times when the indus
trial advancement of the south
is attracting the attention of the
nation it is pleasing to note the
fact that we have here in Bruns
wick one of t he largest enter-
prtses, and one that is day by
day adding to the volume of the
commerce of the ports south of
the Potomac river.
Recently published .statistics
indicate that the ports of the
couth, including of course, those
of the gulf as well as ol the
. south Atlant c have m.de
larger percentage of increase in
Jrje volume of business than has
b i the case with eastern ship
. ping points.
Iu this conneciion it is also
shown that the crosstie business
has increase! wonderfully in the
south and from a mere bagatelle
f-'A few y.ars ago it has grown to
Jbe one of the most important
factors in t he commerce of th s
section.
Brunswick in the very nature
of things—being a great port-
handles an immense share of
this crosstie business, and it has
within its confines a firm said to
be the largest individual cross
tie dealers in the south, and nec
essarily, if the largest in the
country.
Messrs. Broxn & Co. have
only been engaged in the ship
ping of crossties in Brunswick
four years, but during this brief
time they haye bro.en all prev
ious records of the port, and at
this time stand as the recognized
leaders in the crosstie business
of tire port.
The statement alove is best
evidenced by the casual study of
the volume of the businersof the
firm for the month of November
1904. This was no' an unusual
month in Brunswick’s shipping
and no heavy demands were made
for crossties, and yet Messrs.
Brown & Co. had loading and
discharging seven large vessels
the capacity, of which was 188,-
000 as follows:
Edward H. Cole 25 000
Lydia M. De-ring 25 0,0
James W. Paul, Jr ill 000
Miles M Merry 25 000
Helen W Martin 37 000
R VV Hopkins' 20 000
Edward T htotosbury 25 000
ties "to this rapidly ' growing
young republic.
The firm haye a number of un
usually large contracts on hand
just at this time and it is esti
mated that the shipments for
this fiscal year will foot up a
round million ties.
To that energy characteristic
of tire firm, maybe credited the
introduction into this territory of
cypress pole ties and also of the
revival of the manufacture of
oak ties, for many years aban
doned in this section.
Messrs. Brown & Co. are keep'
ing pace with the large commerce
in which they are interested
and Brunswick points ta the firm
with genuine pride,
Mr. J T Strickland, of Ways
cross was, f ar several years, the
representative in this section of
Brown & Co., and his .services
assisted this firm greatly to its
remarkable success,

Shall tlie South quietly sur
render to the diet rtion of a few
Wall street gamblers in depress
ing, the price of our great staple
crop last week from niue and a
half to seven cents per pound
or will they rise in their man
hood and refuse to[submitto this
unholy sacrifice? The Uearish
Bureau report issued from the
Department of Agriculture on
Dec. 8d, indicating n crop of 12.-
162,000 bales, gave tbe specula
tors the opportunity they had
been praying for, and in less
than 80 minutes nearly (30,000,
000 iu value was struck from the
pockets of Southern farmers.
The Bureau report exceeded the
expectations of the most ex
treme "Bear’’ speculators, and
but few well-posted men in the
south believe for a moment that
the yield this season will ever
reach the high estimate placed
upon the crop by the Bureau
That report was based upon a
theoretical acreage of about 82,-
000,000 acres, and indicates a
yield'far in excess of that indi
cated by the amount of cotton
ginned up to Nov. 14th, in the
census report. Either one or the
other of these reports- it wrong.
The glnners report is based upon
facts as ascertained at the gins,
while the bureau report as issued
last Saturday is guess work.
The recent heavy depression in
the price of spot cotton has been
caused by a lot of gamblers and
speculators who neither produce
weave a pound of cotton.
Every dollar’s loss on cotton
s)ld at prices will go into the
pickets of tbefe speculators sod
it remains for the present own
ers and holders of at least 6,900.-
000 bales of this crop to say
whether this unrighteous hold-,
up and high handed robbery
shall be (Juiotly submitted to.
The mills had already bought
their supplies for future delivery
from theso exporters and specu
lators at prices ranging around
ton cents per pound and the
manufacturers will not be able
to share in the heavy slump in
prices. Cotton is worth just us
much for spinning purposes ti-
■ lay as it a as at the opening of
the season, as yarns have ad
vanced three cents per pouud
since the first ot September an I
no reduction-has been made in
the price of erlton goods since
the drop in the price of the raw
product. Nor is there -likely to
l>e any considerable reduction m
tire price of manufactured goo is
this year or next. Then why
should the south submit to Wall
street g-tmblerh and speculators?
Several million bales of tnis
crop "are yet in the hands and
control of the farmers, rner
chants and local brokers.
The only salvation of tbe
South ar this moment is to stand
steadfast together and to abso
lutely refuse to market a single
bale of cot'on at present prices.
Sell no cotton voluntarily and
permit none to be sold by coer
cion or intimidation.
If tbe speculators want to put
down tbe price ou paper let them
do it to their heart’s content, but
when tbe call is made for spots,
to fiil their contracts within the
near future, demand the fall
value of tbe staple, based upon a

MOST OP WARSHIPS IN PORT ARTHUR

Union Awoclntal I’mH.
Tokio, Dec. 8—Imprrial head
quarters announces the result of
tire bombardment at I’ort Arthur
as very good. Pour of t lie largo
calibre guns havs made effec
tive hits. Tlie Pri-esveit caught
fire from a cannon shot, and the
Pobcida listed to sturbourd us a
result of damages. The com
mander of tlie Jupanose at the
land battery telegraphs that the
Poltava -lies sunken, and the
Rctzivan also seems to have
sunk.
i minimum of 10 cents per pound
for all middling colion in the in
terior. Wall street gamblers
are now telling the public
through llie press that they will
teach southern fanners a lesson
to lemember and stop them from
forever undertaking to hold any
pait.of another crop again.
Will Southern farmers surren
iler tl|£jr manhood tn the lash of
Wall street speculators?
Letters are coming to me from
farmers all over tin South stat
ing that they wi'l not sell any
cottpn now in their possession at
present prices and urging that
every farmer take similar actiou
Others propose to enter into an
ironclad agreement to hold jail
the cotton they uow have until
next September and reduce their
cotton acreage next year 25 per
cent). They urge me to issue
this (all for volunteers on a sim
ilar agreement and undertake to
absolutely tie up .from 2,000,000
to 3.000,000 bales of the present
crop, unless prices go buck to
legitjmate figures.
We face a serious condition Unlon Ai«ocl»t*d Prw».
and not a theory. It may cost us
hardships, but tbe .th has
been) through much severer
stru^rlesuud wou out in their
light for freedom and independ
ence from the yoke of foreign
domination. The Southern bank
ers and merchants should, and 1
believe will, cordially co-operate
with the producers in their pres
ent effort to put the price of cot
ton back to its legitimate value.
The whole South is aroused ns
never before at the outrageous
doings in Wall street on the 3d
inst.. The farmers were lead to
believe lqst spring by cotton ex
perts all over the world that the
manufacturers would use, at
stood prices, a'l the cotton that
could bp raised, and yet by the
time half of the crop is sold, a lot
of gamblers get together, heade]
by Theodore H. Price, of New
York, and force the price down
below tbe cost of production. I
now call upon every producer
who is bolding co ton, and who
can possibly do to, to attend the
National Cotton Convention ^to
be held at Shreveport, La., Dec.
12,13, 14 and 15th inst., there 11
take definite action looking to
the holding of the balance of this
crop until prices advance, and
consider plans for reducing the
cotton acreage next year so us to
prevents surplus which is now
being used by the speculators lo
harass, embarrass and.impover
ish again 8'outlwrn cotton pro-
lucers. We had fur better pro
duce n crop, ot 10,000,000 bale,
and sell it at a profit, til in to
sten to tho spinners demand for
a large ciop and sell it below tlie
cost ot production. Wo had bet
ter produce less cotton and more
.supple;^ thereby winning indn
penitence in agriculture, than to
no on buying supplies to raise
large cotton crop- without pr. fi’.
iziving our labor and the pro-
anil’s of our soils to few million
aires who live a thousand miles
from-our doors. The s-lVatinn
of the South depends upon ever
man who now has cotton |in hi
possession to ilo bis (till duty lay
refusing to sell at pre.em prices.
Do not -get diecouiuged or
timid. Store your cotton under
cover or in warehouses and there
let It-rest. The world wants it
and must have it icon. No far
mer should be afraid to hetain
possession of a staple which is
today the most valuable agricul
tural product in the world. Hold
tight to your cotton until the
Sbr-veport meeting'on Dec. 12,
at which time a definite pla-,
will be adopted to force en ad
