FARMERS, HOLD BACK YOUR COTTON.
’ It is evident that a deep-laid
scheme has been concocted to rob
the southern farmer of his honest
rights by depressing the price of
cotton through the medium of
Neil, the cotton “expert ” Eng
lish spinners are behind this move
ment. and if the receipts of cotton
continue heavy their scheme will
succeed.
The crop is undoubtedly short
from 1,600,000 to 2,500,000 bales,
and the drouth throughout Texas
and the southwest continues day
by day to cut it still shorter.
In view of these conditions, the
thing for the southern farmer to
do is to hold back his cotton for
a higher price. It is bound to
come, and that, too, within the
next 00 days, if the market is not
glutted at the opening of the sea
son.
Ask your merchant to help you
hold back your cotton, allowing it
to come on the market gradually,
a few bales at a time.
If you have given a cotton note
for guano let that come along,
but hold back the balance as long
as possible, or until prices show a
material advance.
Cotton is opening prematurely,
and the receipts will naturally
bo heavy if the staple is put on
the market as fast as it is picked
and ginned.
Hold your cotton for higher
prices! You have everything to
gain and nothing to lose by doing
sc, for certainly the price cannot
go lower than it now is.
The decreased yield warrants
8c for cotton, and if the farmery
will but use discretion/,urf'market
ing the product thfjy will be get
ting this price by November 15th.
. Again it happens. Just as the
ctfj.on miyfket begins to advance
Neill comes along with a bear pre
diction. He maintains that we
are to have a 12,000,000 bale crop,
but says nothing as to the losses
from rust and flood in Texas, or
the increased demand. Mr. Neill
remains the friend of the cotton
buyer.
But the price lias risen and it is
evidently the English opinion
that it will continue to rise.
There are reasons for the belief.
The damage in Texas is positive
and considerable. There has
been a limitation of the acreage.
The drouth prevails all over the
South. The demand for cottoD
goods has increased very greatly.
The mills have contracts that will
keep them busy until next spring
and their old stock of the staple
is running low. The conditions,
therefore, are such as to indicate,
if anything, a steadily advancing
market with good pnc»s for the
cotton farmers in the fall.—

•IX INDICTED FOR MURDER.
Gainesville, Ga., August 18.—
The Hall county grand jury, which
was called together iu special ses
sion by Judge J. B. Estes last
Wednesday, adjourned this after
noon at 4:80 o'clock. Mark Bell,
Ollie Bell, Charley Tanner, Heurv
Towery, Tom Bryson and Taylor
Hamilton were indicted for mur
der.
No other business was taken up
by the grand jury save a recom
mendation that the public loads
of the county be given attention
by the road commissioners. Also
a recommendation that no special
term of court be held before the
first or middle of November. Judge
Estes announced tnat he thought
it would be advisable to wait until
about that time to hold a special
term to try these cases, but that
he would take the matter under
advisement and announce later
when he would call the special
session.
Three of the parties indicted,
vis: Charley Tanner. Tom Bry
sou and Taylor Hamilton are now
in jail, the two first named bein':

TK FAVOR OF WHITE PRIMARIES.
lii his speech before the Georgia
Agricultural society the other
day, President Brown declared
himself in favor of white prima
ries.
It has been one of the curiosi
ties of politics that for years dur
ing which the cities have found it
necessary to resort to white pri
maries for the selection of office
holders, in the country the nogro
vote has been permitted to hold
the balance of power. As a con
sequence of this participation in
politics, the negro has been made
more dangerous in the very dis
tricts where danger wag most nat
urally to be expected from his
presence. There never will be
any telling the amoumt of demor
alization and bad government
which has resulted from this
courting of the negro vote. In
lonely and seclued places, where
there was not present the majestic
force of law, through officers
ready to uphold it, negroes have
been corralled together and made
much of by politicians looking
for their votes.
Inflated with an undue idea of
their importance from the atten
tion thus given to him, these ne
groes have become unruly, turbu
lent and impudent. Crimes have
followed and then the communi
ties where they have occurred
have been compelled to rise in
self defense against the criminals
—misled wretches who were led
into error by the familiarity by
which they had been treated.
One of the first communities in
Georgia to dispense with the ne
gro vote altogether was the city of
Atlanta. During the prohibition
campaigns in this city it was seen
that even a holy cause was ren/
dared unrighteous when vrifu
through the maudlin gatherings
of drunken negro ruffians. It was
the part of wisdom which ludf our
people thereafter to determine
that in all future contesfi/the ap
peal should be made fiAhe white
vote only. As the oAultof this
determination the Primary elect
ions of Atlanta Jfiave been con
ducted with grcfot decorum and
satisfaction, jko much so that
other cities, liugered with
the old pla», o:ie by one dropped
it and ha ye come to the determi
nation abide by white prima
ries hereafter.
Tire necessity which led to such
ac,Won in the oities is even greater
yh the rual districts. There, if
anywhere, the hand of the white
man should be supreme, aud on
no account should the negro be
called in to adjust differences be
tween rival white men. President
Brown, in speaking in favor of
white primaries, without reference
to the question of the ultimate
destiny of the negro, has spoken
wisely; and it is to be hoped that
every county in Georgia will de
cide to have its affairs directed by
white men only.—Atlanta Consti
tution.
The editor of the News-Herald
is gratified to see a change of heart
in Editor Howell ou this subject.
Just this thing we contended for
in the state convention last year,
but Editor Howell was crosswise
on the question then. In fact, he
“sat down” ou our resolution
when it went before the commit
lee on platform, of which he was
the chairman. But “it’s better late
than never.” The scales have fal
len from his eyes, and he at last
sees the danger of negro domina
tion. We shall renew our resolu
tion at the next convention; aud
since Editor Howell has become a
convert to our way of thinking we
shall expect his assistance in get
ting the party to emphatically de
clare against the ignorant, venal
vote being used by democrats in
their county primaries.
The Texas Grangers, uow in ses
sion, advise farmers to combine to
hold cotton back ; disposing of it
piecemeal, one-third in September
and October, one-third November
aud December aud oue-third iu
January aud February. Unless
prices improve, this policy ought
to be popular, as far as circum
stances admit. Neill's estimate,
which the Grangers denounce,
would not have had the power to
sustain price depression last year
and will not this year, unless cor
robated by receipts.—Vicksburg

THE COTTON MARKET.
During the past week the fluctu
ations in cotton on the New York
exchange have been very marked,
with an upward tendency.
Futures advanced Monday 22
points, and on Tuesday made a
further advance of 17 points.
, Heavy pressure lowered the latter
advance, but Wednesday the mar
i ket closed strong, at a net advance
i for the day of 7 points, Januarys
closing at 6.19.
English spinners who discredit
Neil’s 12,000,000 bale estimate
i have sent trusted agents to Texas,
• Georgia and other cotton states to
report on the crop, and when they
see the actual damage there is
i bound to be a sharp advance,
■ when their report is submitted.
, The News-Herald predicted last
i spring that cotton would sell for
8c per pound this fall, and we
have every reason to believe that
this prophecy will come true.
However, this price will not be at
tained until November or the firsrf
of December. f
We advise farmers to hold im<d\x
cotton till the true situation m as
certained, feeling that
prices later in the seasaM will be
at least one cent per unund more
than they will be to obtain
at the opening of tjfe market.
NEILL'S IHEUICTKIN
While cotta/ men generally are
looking for a smaller crop of cot
ton for tha/season that is soon to
begin, Mt. Henry M. Neill of New
Orlean/annouDces that the crop
will 1» an exceptionally good one,
and lhat in volume it will equal,
if \£ dosen’t exceed, the crop of
tltfe season now near its close. It
/is unfortunate for the cotton
growers that Mr, Neill has on two
or three occasions guessed pretty
closely to the cotton yield, so that
he has iu a measure the confi
dence of the cotton spinners of
Europe. His estimate of the crop
for the seagon beginning with Sep
tember will have the effect of
causing European spinners to buy
just as little as they can get along
with, hoping by reducing the de
mand that they will be able to get
what they want at even lower
prices than those prevailing.
Mr . Neill is about the only cot
ton man who thinks that the crop
will be a large one. The opinion
prevails among cotton men quite
generally, that the crop has been
badly hurt in several of the states
by the drought, worms and rust.
The yield is being cut down also
by shedding on an extensive scale.
From what we have seen in the
public prints the opinion among
well informed cotton men is that
the crop will be considerably be
low that of the season just about
closing.
Mr. Neill has no superior
means for discovering the actual
condition of the crop in the
various parts of the cotton belt.
From what Mr. Cutts, a cotton
buver of this city, says, he is not
as well equipped for keeping in
touch with all parts of the cotton
belt as many other cotton men
are. He watches the weather and
bases his predictions on the infor
mation gained from that source.
Ami yet this man has it in his
power to cause the South to
lose millions of dollars annually
by predicting a large crop and
thus leading the ootton spinners
cf Europe to make their purchas
es ou the basis of the large crop
It is true that they run the risk of
having to pay a high price later
in the season if it should then ap
pear that the crop would be a
small one, but if they can get a
low price fixed at the beginning of
the season they can manage to get
a good supply at low prices before
the shortage really becomes
known. As for the cotton far
mers, the most of the smaller
ones market their cotton just as
soon as it is picked, and therefore
a high price later in the season is
of no benefit to them.
There are many cotton men in
this country who are muoh better
informed in respect to the cotton
crop than Mr. Neill, because their
means of obtaiuiug information
are very much greater, but, un
fortunately, the spinners of Eu
rope do not place as much confi
dence in them as they do in Mr.
Neill. It is safe to say that Mr.
Neill costs the cotton farmers
many millions of dollars every
year.—Savaunah News.

Town of Red Ray on Andros Inland Wlj»e<|
Out.
Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 18. —
According to a Miami dispatch to
the Times Union and Citizen,
Capt. Dill in of the -Cocoa states
that the town of Red bay, on the
island of Andros, twenty miles
southwest of Nassau, was swept
away in the recent tiopical hurri
cane and about 800 lives lost. An
eye witness of the storm estimated
the loss of life on the island to be
fully 600 people.
Scattered through the wreck of
houses at Red Bay after the storm
subsided, he gaid, were hundreds
of corpses of persons of all ages
and classes. Capt. Dillon gays the
wind blew at the rate of ninety
miles an hour at Nassau, with oc
casional gusts which reached a ve
locity of 105 miles an hour.
The estimate for a 12,000,000
bale cotton crop for the present
yejir.-made by Neill of New Or
leans has caused prices to go
down with such great loss to the
cotton growers of the South, a
prominent gentleman of Macon,
who is well posted on cotton,
wired t@ one of the leading cotton
firms in New Orleans for informa
tion as to how Neill itrrived at
his figures. The following answer
was immediately received:
“Has few correspondents if
?ny; figures on average tempera
ture and rainfall aud dose a lot of
guessing. We would advise hold
ers of cotton to look up Neill’s re
cord in 1892-8, 1895-6, 1896-7 be
fore accepting his conclusions on
the crop without reservation.”
This telegram created a great
dual of interest among cotton
men in Macon yesterday, as the
senders of this telegram are
among the leading cotton men in
the South. —Macou Telegraph.

LIKE HOUNDLAP BALES
Opinions of Cotton Farmers aud Ginners
after a Season's Experience.
The attitude of cotton ginners and
farmers towards the Koundlap cotton
bale of the American Cotton Company
after a season’s test of the machine, is
illustrated by a letter received recent
ly by the editor of the Manufactub
kks’ Kkcobd, Baltimore, as follows :
Editor Manufacturers’ Kkcord :
Some time ago you requested us to
give you our opinion of the American
Cotton Co.’s cylindertcal press. At
that time we were unable to give our
views correctly, owing to the short
time we had operated the press Now
that the ginning season has closed, we
can unquestionably say that the press
is a success in every paticular, not on
ly from a ginner’s standpoint, but as
practical farmers. The result from
sale of our cotton have been eminently
satisfactory and much beyond what
we had anticipated. The advantages
to planter and operator are so many
that it would take up to much space
to enumerate them. It is sufficient to
say that no one who has baled their
cotton on this press would now or here
after patronize any other. And why
should theyV Their ginning charges
are less than the square-press people
charge, and they receive from one
quarter to one-half cent per pound
more than they could get in the square
hale. There is no question about the
round bale being here to stay, and we
would advise the ginmen, especially
those who are near a railroad, to get
in the swim at once and exemplify the
old adage of the early bird gets the
worm. They will not only benefit
themselves, but their friends, the far
mers, will get the cream that the mid
dlemen, the commission merchants,
have been enjoying and getting rich
upon. In conclusion, to condense the
advantages, will say that the bale is
fireproof, waterproof, dustproof, and
prof that it is a labor-saving and mon
ey-makidg bale to the farmer.
