TwiflC* Citizen* Pass Resolution* Re
garding the Price of Cotton.
JEFFERSONVILLE. Ga., Dec. 19.—
At a meeting of the cltisena of Twiggs
county Saturday, held for the purpose
of discussing the conditions resulting
from the low prices of cotton, and tak
ing some suitable action for the fu
ture, Dr. E. McNair was elected chair
man, and J. C. Shannon secretary.
After which action the following res
olutions were introduced and unani
mously adopted:
Resoveld by the citizens of Twiggs
county this day assembled. That we
look with alarm and great disfavor
upon the conditions confronting the
country, brought about at present,
and, which condition is possible, and
can be brought about at any time by
the same agencies, a lot of stock gam
blers, “who toll not, neither do they
spin," but who from the shades of
Wall street offices, the agencies of
bucket shops and stock gamblers scat
tered throughout the country, con
spire and combine against, and gam
ble upon the labor of tolling millions,
and the blood and sweat of the poor.
That in th high tide of prices Inst
year, and the low prices forced this,
represent a difference of ten cents n
pound, or fifty dollars a bale, making
a shrinkage of $600,000,000 of specula
tive values, upon an estimated crop of
12,000,000 bales, or an average be
tween the two extremes of five cents
a pound, or sum $300,000,000 of real
values.
That, in the violent fluctuations in
values, the business Interests of the
country receives a severe shock, and
remains in an unsettled condition.
That, the depressing of the cotton
market benefits no ono hut the gam
bler; and possibly the spinner, a
prices of cotton goods have steadfast
ly remained the same ns during high
prices o{ last season, with advance of
three cents a pound for cotton yarns
the last few months.
That, we cannot too strongly con
demn this species of gambling and
call upon all good men throughout the
length and breadth of our country to
call upon our national assembly to en
act suitable legislation to correct the
evil.
That, recognizing self-preservation
to be the first law of nature, we call
upon the farmers of the South to
band together to resists oppression and
robbery, and drive the bear from our
door.
That, In this effort to preserve the
snowy fields of the South that must
clothe the world, rich and poor alike!
from devastation of the ruthless horde
of robbers, more destructive than the
boll weevil, we Call upon the mer
chants and bankers of the land to aid
j us.
I Th»t. we view with satisfaction the
‘ awakening of the country to Its busl
; ness interests so seriously threatened,
and with gratitude for the many offers
from bankers and merchants of help
In holding the balance of tho cotton
crop not already sacrificed, for better
prices.
That, while we renllze the price of
the products of our fiolda Is not gov
erned by the natural law of supply
and demand, we enn get more money
for a small crop than a large
without the additional expense
making and harvesting It. We earn
estly urge our brother farmers to cur
tail their cotton acreage at least 26
per cent another year, and the plant
ing of the halnnce for sufficient home
supplies to ennble them to hold their
cotton until prices Justify sale without
outside- help.
That, in this effort we urge our peo«
pie to hold the halnnce of the cotton
1 for nt least 10 cents per pound. The
j world needs every hale produced this
year and will give 10 cents if they can
not get it for less, and more for n 26
j p*r cent, reduction, or a 9,000,000 hales
another year.
That, In our opinion the American
people are able to solve any problem,
however Intricate, and the time is op
portune for the application of a rem
edy that will prevent a recurrence of
the evils of which we complain.
That, an Improved warehouse sys
tem so constructed ns to be fire-proof,
thereby reducing storage nnd Insurance
rates to a minimum, enabling the pro
ducer to store his cotton and borrow
almost its face value at low rate of
Interest until he chooses to sell, his
otton receipt becoming first-class col
lateral.
That, the dumping of an entire crop
upon the market In three or four
months, that require twelve months to
produce, furnishes n golden opportu
nity for the vampire horde of thieves
and robbers who yearly "sweep down
like the wolf on the fold" and the In
nocent Iamb Is shorn and left fleece
less and cold.
Resolved, That these expressions of
our body be given publicity through
the medium of the public press.

TO HOLD COTTON.
Farmer* of Lauren* County Meet and
Resolution* are Passed.
DUBLIN, Ga., Dee. 19.—Saturday
the farmers of Laurens county formal
ly resolved to hold their cotton for ten
cents. The meeting whs held ^»t the
ourt house and was tho largest at
tendance ever assembled In Dublin.
The large court auditorium was filled
1th farmers. The gallery was given
over to the negroes and was filled, also.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr. W. J. Joiner, president of the Lau
rens county agricultural club, and Mr.
S. M. Kellam, a leading farmer, guano
manufacturer and bank director, acted
as director. The object of the meeting
was stated and many of those who
were present advised thnt* cotton be
NO PARDON.
Board Did Not Take Aotion in Case of
W. P. Dodd.
ATLANTA, Ga„ Dec. 19.—Contrary
to the popular Impression among the
officials nt the state house,' the board
of pardons at Its session last week fail
ed to pass upon the application for a
pardon for former State Senator W* P.
Dodd of Gordon county, who Is now
serving a term of two years at the
state farm for the embeszlement of
school funds while acting as school
commissioner of Gordon county. The
board has not given out any reason for
holding up Its action in the case which
has been attracting more than the
usual amount of attention, due to tho.
fact of the prominence of the appli
cant. It is understood, however, that
somo of the members of the commis
sion are of the opinion that It Is a
little too early to grant a pardon as
Dodd has not been In the penitentiary
more than a third of the time Impoaed
upon him, as a sentence. Then again,
is said that the members of the
board, or at least some of them, are
the opinion that under the circum
stances of the case, the courts sen
tence was very moderate when it Is
considered that the applicant was ad
judged guilty of appropriating money
due n hard worked lot of people who
could illy afford to lose what was duo
them. Now while there Is hardly a
doubt but that Dodd will be pardoned
before his time expires, one thing la
practically certain thnt he will not get
his relense for at least a month or two.
rom what can be learned on the out
side It is said that while the board
feels favorably Inclined to the grant
ing of a pardon. It will wait a little
longer before acting. The board. It in
stated, while feeling deeply for the
in his present trouble, feels also
thnt the interest of the state demand
thnt it act cautiously in such matters,
to protect the people of the state
against Its officials when they nro en
trusted with public funds.

held for ten cents, the following reso
lution being unanimously passed:
Whereas, We know that the pres
ent price of cotton Is far below the cost
of production, nnd
"Whereas. We believe tint the present
price of cotton Is not hnsAlon the law
of supply and demand, but on the doc
tored reports of speculators and gam
biers in this great commodity, nnd
“Whereas. We believe that It Is to
the interest of the cotton producers of
the South to hold t^elr cotton for
higher prices, therefoi*. be It
"Resolved. Thai we % the members of
the Laurens County Cotton Growers’
Association. In convention assembled,
advise and beg every farmer in the
rounty of Laurens to hold the cotton
now on hand until the price of same
reaches ten cents per pound.
"Resolved further. That every cotton
owner In Laurens county Is urged and
earnestly requested to reduce the acre
age In cotton for the year 1906 at least
26 per cent, and put the land In hay or
corn crops."
The following resolution was also In
troduced nnd unanimously passed:
"Resolved, Thnt the thanks of the
convention be extended to the banks of
I.uurens county for the aid extended to
the farmers In making such liberal ad
vancements on cotton held in storng-
thus enabling (he fahuers to hold thel
cotton."
A motion was unanimously passed to
appoint n committee of 14 to organize
the farmers of I*aurens county. This
committee was appointed by the chair
man from the 14 districts of Laurens
county. It will be the duty of this com
mlttee to get the farmers now holding
cotton to demand ten cent* for snmn
nnd not to sell until that price has been
reached. Also to Induce the farmers to
reduce their cotton acreage at leant 26
cent.
It was decided by the farmers to
meet again on the first Saturday In
January next und hear reports from
the committee.
There nro now being held by the
farmers nnd others of I*aurcns county
nt least R.OfiO hales of cotton. Those
who own the cotton feel sure (hat the
price will ndvnnce and they do not In
tend pnrtlng with their cotton for
less price than ten cents. Of course
some of the smaller farmers may sell
nt n lesser price, but those who nro now
holding cotton are able to hold It.
The meeting yesterday was partial
pated In by farmers, cCtton buyers,
bankers, etc. It was the unanimous
opinion of al present that the only
thing for the farmers of the South to
do Is to hold their cotton and demand
ten rents for It,

manent organization was informed
with P. O. Walker as president and R.
W. Parker as secretary.
