Is In our power to do so. that every
cotton producer In the South place a
minimum price of ten cents per pound

grade be offered for sale If the market
at any time, due to the fluctuating In
fluences of speculation, falls below the
price of ten cents per pound, that each
and every proced Is urged to market
his crop slowly as possible, believing

chief of Police McDermott, of Savan

they looked after matters during the
tremendous attendances and kept down

"Up to the present time the cot
ton producers from North Carolina to

ally stood firm by holding a part of
their cotton and refusing to threw It
upon the market at prices of the bear
speculators and other combinations
formed to depress prices, the market
Jin* only been forced down fifty points
below our minimum price, during the
month In which most of the farmers'
obligations fall due. and an unpre
cedented season for gathering and
ginning the crop. The glnners*
port Issued October 26th, Indicated
that a little more than five million
bales of the present crop had been
ginned, while Secretary Hester's re
port for the same time Indicated thnt
only about two million bales had been
marketed, showing thatf more than 60
per cent of the crop was being held
In the hands of the producers,
only five million and a quarter bales
had been ginned up to October 15, it
must be clear to every farmer that
the high estimates placed upon this
crop by the hear element of specula
tors will never materialise. They are
using the same devices sdnpted last
year to break the nerve of tho pro
ducers. Note their figures oY last year
compared with the fncta: Mr. Theo
dore Price, on Kept. 28. 1903. Issued a
circular estimating the crop of 1903-4
to be 11.744.866 bales. A. J. Huston, the
palace car statistician of Liverpool.
England. on Oct. 2$. 1963, figured the
crop at 11,260,000 boles Nell Bros., of
England, estimated the crop on Nov.
24 1903. at 11.000,000 bales, and H. C.
Gorst, of Liverpool, on the same date
Issued nn estimate fixing the yield nt
It.430.000 bales. Not let us look at the
estimates of disinterested paries: The
United Rtntes Department of Agricul
ture, on Dec. 3. 19003. Issued Its esti
mate fixing the yield at 9.962.439 hales.
The Southern states commissioners
of agriculture In convention at Mont
gomery. Ala.. Oct. 9. 1903. estimated
the crop nt 10,471.000 bales. Now let
«i| see what was the actual crop. We
find thnt the actual commercial crop
of 1901-4 amounted to 10,011,374 bales.
Note the comparison of bear estimates
snd government estimates. The Unit
ed States department of ngrlculture
under the actual figures only 49.-
00ft bales The commissioners of ngrl
culture over-estimated the crop 460.-
000 bales, while Mr. Theodore Price
missed tt 1.734.000 bales, and the rest
of the hear element all the way from a
million to n million and a half bales.
Mr. Price Is pursuing the ssme course
this season snd colling upon fnrmera
everywhere to dump their cotton on
the market so as to depress prices nnd
let Mr. "Bear" Price coin his millions
at the expense of hundreds of thou
sands of producers In the South.

"The recent estimate of the South
ern Commissioners of Agriculture In
convention nt Baton Itouge, La.. Octo
ber 22, figured the crop for this season
at 10.171.000 bales. Mr. Theodore Price
and other bear speculators figure tl\e

effect that a municipality could not

other municipalities.
"The supreme court of tme state has
never had this question before It and
