NUMBER 25 HAMHOTH BUSINESS ol' c , he p oxim'ty to the scene Crtiljh |Ul|St where pnces are fixed. «3UUlll ITIUdl During the-past year this well known southern business house has been competing with all HANDLED 1 dealers in the country for "the lurge crosstic busiucss to (!ubt, ' made necojeary by the great de- I maud for raiho id construction Brown & Co.. Local Cross-1 on the island, and it can b? said to their .credit that they have shipped an immense quantity of tie Dealers, Do [an Enormous Busi ness. 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, Stand Firm President Southern Cotton Growers Protective, Association Issues Cir cular Letter to Southern Bank ers, Merchants And Cot ton Producers. total lbs 000 Tae wharves of Me-srs Drown & Co in tlierouthorn poriinn i f the city are among the best equ pped in the country and of fer every fac lrty. for the hand ling of this, gigantic industry with promp m ss, accuiucy ami dispatch The docks have a fromoge of 720 feet, are supplied Wi h five sets of side tra ils urn! have a toal- capiOity suffit-itii' to conveniently to unload a train ( of fi f.y cii's a- one time.

Thu selling was tumuloue, and there is great excitement. The failure of \V. S. B’idi.aa,.on the Consolidated Knchang.- was announced. Arraignment Delayed. Corott Associated Pres,. New York, Dec. 8—The ar raignment of Mrs. Chadwck was delayed for a time this morning to give hectime to ge’ bondsmen She collapsed when taken to the United States Mar shal’s office, but strangely .re covered when left alone with her maid and ton, 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 Japs Destroying Russian Battleships. MOST OP WARSHIPS IN PORT ARTHUR HARBOR HAVE BEEN SUNK. 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 vance in tbe present depressed London, Dec. 8—A report from Tien Tsin says that Japan ese shell fire also sank the Peres- vot Heavy Liquidations.
