SHE IS SHOWING 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. E. McNAlR. Chairman. J. C. SHANNON, Scc’y. 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.

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, Want Better Price, MADISON, Ga..
