EUROPEAN PLAN. GEORGE W. SWEENEY, Prop
CUTHBERT, Go., Dec. 7.—It is un-
I derstood that actual construction work
of extending the Georgia, Florida and
Alabama railroad northward from
Cuthbert toward Columbus and At
lanta will begin early in January. It
is rumored that when this work is
started some, if not all, of the head
quarters of the line officers will be
moved to Cuthbert. It is also stated,
that Cuthbert occupies a very favor
able position, geographically, for the
location of the shops of the road, and
that it Is the opinion of some of the
officials that the shops of the road
should be located here. At any rate
the road holds Cuthbert In very high
regard, both on account of business
and location, and it is evident that she
has some good things in store for her.
Cuthbert is already the home of most
of the engineers and conductors.

and impoverish again Southern cotton
producers. We had far better pro
duce a crop of 10.000,000 bales and sell
It at a profit, than to listen to the
aplnn^jrs demand for a large crop and
sell it below the cost of production
We had better produce less cotton and
more supplies, thereby winning inde
pendence in agriculture, than to go on
buying supplies to raise large cotton
crops without prollt, giving our labor
and the products of our soils to a few
millionaires who live a tbournnd miles
from our doors. The salvation' of the
South depends upon every man who
now has cotton In'his possesion to do
his full duty by refusing to sell at
present prices.
”Do not get discouraged or timid.
Store your cotton under cover or In
warehouses and thoro let It rest. The
world wants It and must have it soon.
No farmer should be afraid to retain
possession of a staple which Is today
the most valuable agricultural product
In the world. Hold tight to your cot
ton until the Shreveport meeting on
Dec. 12. nt which time a definite plan
will be adopted to force an advance In
the present depressed price of the
staple.”

HON. HARVIE JORDAN
TO COTTON PRODUCERS
IN CIRCULAR ADDRESS PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN COTTON GROW
ERS' PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT
STAPLE BE HELD FOR BETTER PRICES, AND VOICES HOPE
THAT THERE WILL BE LARGE ATTENDANCE UPON CONVEN
TION IN SHREVEPORT.
Hon. Harvle Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Growers’ Protective
Association yesterday from his home
in Montlcello Issued the following cir
cular letter to the cotton producers,
bankers and merchants of the South:
"Shall the South quietly surrender
to the dictation of a few Wall Street
gamblers In depressing the price of
our great staple crop last week from
nine and a half to seven cents per
pound; or will they rise In their man
hood and refuse to submit to this un
holy sacrifice? The bearish bureau
report issued from the department of
agriculture on December 3rd Indicat
ing a crop of 12,162,000 bales, gave the
speculators the opportunity they had
been pruylng for, and in less than
thirty minutes nearly $30,000,000 in
value was struck from tho pockets of
Southern farmers. The bureau report
exceeded the expectations of the most
extreme "bear” speculators, and but
few well posted men in the South be
lieve for a moment that the yield this
season will ever reach the high esti
mate placed upon the crop by tho
bureau. That report was based upon
a theoretical acreage of about 32.000,-
000 acres, and Indicates a yield far
In excess of that Indicated by the
amount of cotton ginned up to No
vember 14th in the census report,
Either one or the other of these re
ports Is 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 oy
a lot of gamblers and speculators who
neither produce or weave a pound of
cotton. Every dollars loss on cotton

motion ter continuance, mads by the
sold at present prices will go into tho
pockets of these speculators and It
remains for the present owners and
holders of nt least 5,000.000 bales of
this crop to say whether this unrlght •
eous hold up and high handed robbery
shnll be quietly submitted to. The
mills had already bought thplr sup
plies for futuro delivery from the;ie
exporters and speculators nt prices
ranging around .tent.cents per pound
and the manufacturers will not be able
to share In the heavy slump In prices.
Cotton la worth Just us much for
spinning purimse* today as It
the opening of tho season, ns yarns
have advanced three cents per pound
since the first of Beptember and no
reduction has been made In the prlco
of cotton goods since the drop in tho
prlco of the raw product. Nor Is there
likely to be any cnnnldornblo reduc
tion In the prlco of manufactured
goods this year or next- Then why
should the South submit to Wall Street
gamblers and speculators?
"Several million bales of this crop
are yet In the handn And control of
the farmers, merchants and locul
bankers. IZM
"The only salvation of tho South nt
this moment Is to stand Steadfast to
gather and to absolutely re/use to mar
ket n single hale of cotton at present
prices, ficll no cottoij voluntarily ,and
permit none to be sold by coercion
intimidation.
"If the speculators want, to put
down the price on paper let them do
It to their hearts content, but when
the call in made for spots, to’fill Ih'dr
contracts within the near future, de
mand the full vnluo of the staple,
based upon a minimum of ten
per pound for nil middling eojton In
the Interior. Wall Street gamblers are
now telling the public through the
presa that they will tdaoh Southern
farmers a lesson to remember and atop
them from forever uhdArUklng to hold
any pnrt of another crop again.
"Will Southern farmers surrender
their manhood to the lash of Wall
street speculators?
"Letters are coming to me from
farmers all over the South stating
that they will not sell any cotton now
In their possession at present prices
and urging that every farmer take
similar action. Others propone to en

hold all the colton they now have un

BUENA VISTA.
Farmers Who Sold Their Cotton are
Now Rejoicing Over tho Fact.
BIJENA VISTA. Ga., Dec. 7,—There
are now a number of "I-told-you-so's"
In this community, the fellows who
happened to sell their cotton as fast as
ginned, and were not caught In
the sensational slump In price. These
seem to have u ghoulish glee in prod
ding the cotton holders, and delegating
to themselves a superior wisdom and
foresight In selling, minimizing
short-sightedness of those who still
hold cotton.
Those who still have cotton that
they might have sold at 10 cents, or
even higher, are n blue set, and there
a»e quite a lot of them. They were
caught napping, as it were. After the
sensntlonal rise last spring, coupled
with the good prices that maintained
so late this fall. people felt somewhat
secure In tho belief that cotton would
not fall below 10 cents this fall, even
If a big crop was made, us several
short crops preceded thlH one. But
alns| They reckoned without their
hosts, the bears, and cotton has fullen
below the cost of production.
Your correspondent Is no prophet,
nor the son of a prophet, but ho
venture a prediction concerning the
farming class that will come to pass
about the time the next crop Is hnr
vested, unless providence Interferes,
when there will be weeping, walling
and gnashing of teeth ntnong
horny-handed sons of toll.
The Indications already point thnt
ny. The mule market, the first fa
tor, opened up nt least a month earlier
this winter than previously, and farm
ers seem to be falling over each other
to buy mules, seeming to fear Ihnt the
supply will give out before they can
be supplied. Three or four dealers In
mules here have kept full lots, and
somA farmers have paid ns high ns
$600 per pair.
The second factor In this prediction
Is that when the guano season opens
up they will he rushing theso young
mules to and from town In order to get
full supply of fertilizers, boenuno
these mules must have something to
do next summer.
Factor number three is screnge.
Every ncre of land ,Ihnt can possibly
be gotten In will be counted in the next
cotton crop, and it ’Svoilld not be
surprise If the government report
acreage did not announce a larger
plnntcd nrca In cotton next summer
than the past season by several million
acres.
