COTTON PRICE
FIXED AT 15 CENTS
Farnui s’National Union Adopts
Report of Committee Fixing
Minimum Price of Staple.
Little [Cod;, Ark., Sept. 1.—
“Don’t sell your cotton for less
than fifteen cents.”
Thi■! is the edict of the Nation,
a' Farmers’ Fnion to the cotton
g-owers of the southern states
aud the official order was issued
by unanimous vote immediately
following the adoption of the
conmittee appointed yesterday
to fix the minimum price? on cot¬
ton.
There was not a dissenting
Voice raised to the adoption of
the rep >rt when the committee
read ti e following before the
convention this morning:
“We, the committee appointed
to fix the minimum price for
cotton report that the basis for
middling shall be fifteen cents
in September, with an added
One-fourth of a cent for each
month, beginning October first.”
This means that during the
month of September the mini¬
mum price of middling cotton
shall he fifteen cents. For the
same grade during October fifteen
and a quarter cents per pound
shall be the price. For Novem¬
ber, fifteen and a half cents per
pound and through the remain¬
ing months a quarter of a cent
shall be added, making cotton
sell in February for sixteen
cents per pound.
it also means that if the Fann¬
ers union controls this year as
well as it did last year, in the
sale of the fleecy staple, that two
hundred million dollars have
been added to the revenues of
the cot on farmers in the south.
La-t year with the price at 11
ve nts a bale of cotton was worth
fifty-live dollars. With the

v
price at 15 cents it means that a
nalo of cotton this year will he
worth seventy-live dollars or
twenty dollars more per hale.
This bases on a crop of only ten
million hales.
In the event the crop exceeds
ten millions, there will be an
added wealth turned into the
pockets of the producers,
“The Farmers’ union will suc¬
ceed in getting the prices agreed
upon,” was the podtive coui
moot of President Barrett after
the adoption of.tlio report. “You
have only to take a look back¬
wards to see that the cotton
farmers have learned well tne
lesson of co-operation and mutual
agreement. Three years ago we
fixed the minimun price at 10
cents. There were some who
believed the union could not se¬
cure the price agreed upon and
these few sold at (> or 7 or 8
cents—just what they could get
for it. The result was that they
sacrificed their cotton while the
members of the Farmers’ union
held to theirs and got their 10
cents in every instance.
“The next year there were
less who had no faith in the
Farmers’ union. Last year the
farmers had learned that the
price agreed upon by us was the
price that we got and few there
were who sold their cotton for
less than .11 cents. With this
history of the past, the basis for
our opinions, we are firmly con
tine anu that all will obey . our
agreement.'
r I. —. he great cotton raising . state
of Texas has set the pace in the
price movement. When the
cotton began to come in more
rapidly than usual this year,
President N. J. Neill, of the
Texas state union, hastily con¬
■
ferred with President Barnett,
,,f the national organization, and
then issued a general ttr.:;ufet to
THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1907
to the farmers of his state, or¬
dering them to hold their cotton
indefinitely rather than sell it
for less than 15 cents. When
the National Farmers’ union met
here yesterday the Texas dele¬
gation was on hand with ptoo ? to
show that 15 cent cotton was not
an impossibility by any means,
and declared that the Texas
farmers had agreed and had not
broken their pledge, even though
the price had not been ratified
by the national organization.
Though at first it was believed
there might be opposition to the
increase of four cents per pound,
when the report of the committee
reached the convention there
was not a dissenting vote and
the report was adopted with ap¬
plause.

fered for three months with a

it interfered with my business.
I had many of the symptoms of

in their fright, ran into the near¬

On reaching home, lus wife hear¬

A posse was formed, and has

other for the negro. The chase
still continues, but the negro lias
