K WORDTO COTTON GROWERS OF THE SOUTH
The Constitution presents herewith a suggestion which wilt interest every farmer in the South. It concerns the marketing of the cotton crop in away
which will yield the best returns to the cotton grower. , __ rT „ c .
As will be observed, the plan proposed by cx-Commissioner of Agriculture Nesbitt meets the cordial approval of his successoi, Hon. O. B. Stevens. The
Constitution commends the communication of Colonel Nesbitt and the interview of Commissioner Stevens to the public.
This issue of The Constitution will fall into the hands of many representative farmers throughout the South. To these we address a word. If you ap
prove the plan as outlined bv Colonel Nesbitt and endorsed by Commissioner Stevens, send The Constitution a communication giving your views on the
subject Write from one to five hundred words, showing the necessity for co-operative effort among the cotton producers in the marketing of the cotton
crop. Address vour communication to The Constitution, and send it by return mail. The opinion of every representative farmer will have its weight in
briimin" about results which will prove beneficial to the cotton interests of the South, and which will fortify the cotton growers against the insidious attacks
ofNeillismand the assaults of cotton manipulators who are willing to wreck the market whenever it pays them to do so.
Those who are interested in holding the price of cotton down have a systematic and a concrete organization, backed by millions of dollars. 1 heir
influence is as potent as it is dangerous. Their efforts, however, can be checkmated by anything like co-operation among the cotton producers. Lhc Con
stitution proposes to continue its fight for the protection of the interests of the cotton growers, and all it needs is their co-operation.
Lot us have a word from you by return mail, for it is none too soon to put the world on notice that the cotton growers of the South are prepared this
rear to route Ncillism in whatever form it may present itself.

Way to the South’s Golden Opportunity.

•verywhore. wT.e take on Interest tn In
flvwtrlol cer.Sltlen* at the south, ore lm
preseefl with the peculiar features which
have marked the cetten business of this
reason. Notwithstanding the atrong
“bsr , «** influences at work and the testi
mony of so-called experts as to a pho
notreeaHy large crop, the market has
StradEy advanced and cotton has com
manded a higher price here at our own
doors than In New Tork or Liverpool—
a state es affairs almost undreamed of.
Inquiring into the causes of this anom
s-oue condition, wo find that for many
year* the Industrial south has been In a
cowrse es hard training, but the disap
pointments ar.d d'sas’ers of that trying
period have been eflentlv working out
her emancipation. Th* lessens have been
revere. but the farmer ha* learned to
produce hie ectton at less eoat: to cur
tail hie expenses: to bur ess on credit
ar.d to diversify his crops, and thus a
mighty agricultural evolution which has
been developing tram year to year has
now assumed definite shape. Also these
and or. her Influences have materially re
duced the eotton crop. We find that for
eign epinnem, relying as usual on the
reports of their paid agents, who have
declared and reiterated that the cotton
crop would reach the enormous amount
of liMC.aa tales, concluded that all they
had Co de was to lie In wait ar.d whan
the large bulk of the crop was forced
on the market and the farmer was com
pe'led to part with his cotton for less
than the ccst of production, they would,
according to the usual programme g'.ee
ft’lly step forward and seise upon IL But
tn x i*" r ' n r thto wholeea.o confiscation
they were Ignorant of three Important
and heretofore unknown factors operat
ing against their chorlshrJ plans.
L The Improved condition of the farmer
a.ovs referred <o
X Tb.e willingness of the merchant to
aid the farmer in his efforts to hold
hl* cotton for a Uvlng price.
X The strong power of the southern
cotton mfflo, which have entered the
market and proven by their pluck and
energy that Che meet proper and profit
able manufacture of eotton. as in other
industriea Is that which to nearest to
the production es the raw material. It
«- these mills which have absorbed the
cu-sen that Europe would not buy. and
which ho ped the farmer to obtain a fair
price; to pay his debts; and to. so far,
hold the smaU surplus of this year's
crop.
It takes only a glance to see that In
this powerful combination we have the
strongest co-operative forces known to
tusinose and their united strength would
work wonders
Let us examine the component parts
cf this combination and And If this state
ment be true
1. An Indisputed monopoly in the pro
duction of the raw material.
2. The mills at our doors, to say to
foreign consumers. If you won't pay a
living price for the farmers' cotton, wo
will and we will also manufacture and
sell our finished products at figures that
win make you look to your laurels In
the great east, where you have so long
enjoyed a mcnopoiy.
S. Th* merchants and bankers whose
aid to the farmers will enable them to
held the surplus not needed by our own
mH'-* until other spinners are compelled
i | to pay a fair price, for which service (the
merchants and bankers) will be repaid
In the largely increased business which
i | will eventually oome to them.
i ■ Here we have a plain statement es a
etrtotly business proposition, mutually
' profitable to those who are mutually de
pendent. At first the stupendous scope
of the work may discourage the hesitat
ing and doubting, bnt we have the weap
ons of justice, right and opportunity In
our hands, and when these are wielded
by intelligence and energy a signal victory
will be won.
The higher price of cotton may tempt
thoughtless men to Invest largely In
fertl'.lxara erven at the present high
quotations; to plant largely In cotton
at the eacrlfics of food crops, and also
to contract debts to be met in the early
fall months. The merchant Is perhaps
better Informed and more fully aware
of the disastrous consequences of such
a policy than the farmers themselves,
many cf whom are tenants, and a large
number Irresponsible negroes, and for
strictly business reasons each merchant
can afford to discourage Increased cotton
production and every form of unneces
sary debt. It to only by thus making
common cause against a common enemy
that we can hope to discount the oldtlme
tricks of the "bears" and crush their
ascendency out of the market. "Co-op
eration" and "cotton factories'* should
bo our watch words. The worlfl needs
our cotton now and will oontlnv* to
need It from year to year. A compact
organisation of our varied but mutually
dependent Interests whereby we may be
enabled to control both the production
and the sale of our annual crop means
prosperity for all concerned.
Heretofore every organization looking
to the agricultural emancipation of the
eouth has failed because of a more or
lees proscriptive po’.loy. The grange and
alliance movements were built on tM
soundest principles, but membership was
unduly reetrtoted. ar.d when partisan
politics and blind seal to advance party
lines tnd individual Interests crept In
the structure crumbled.
At the south we are a peculiarly ho
mogeneous people, and need no such di
viding lines Whet we want to an or
ganisation taken from all classes The
banker is aware that hto success depends
upon the merchant, ar.d the latter knows
full well that hto fete to In the hands
of the farmers, who constitute fully 73
per cent of our population. Lett these bo
brought into closer business relations
with each other and all enter Into more
direct business communication with the
manufacturer Properly managed much
of the expense of handling cotton will ,
bo eliminated, and whan the farmers
g«*l better prices that means prosperity to
the united eouth.
Cf course the perfecting of such a far
' reaching plan means patience, time and
1 work, tut I believe the campaign The ;
| Constitution has Inaugurated will finally .
‘ succeed. Let us tackle the difficulties at
j once. The methode for obtaining and
I publishing accurate crop reports and for
i various other details necessary to perfect
this grand system will be gradually

realize our opportunity and not allow It !
to slip from our grasp. Th* Constitution

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA.. MONDAY. JANUARY 15, 1900.
Colonel Nesi
The Constitution gladly gives space
I to the letter to be found elsewhere
from the P«n of Senator R. T. Nesbitt,
ex-commissioner of agriculture of
Georgia, in whiclT he handles the pres
ent agricultural situation of the south,
and in which ho makes a suggestion of
co-operation among those interested,
the initiative of which must rest with
( themselves.
As hinted at by Colonel Nesbitt, the
southern farmer has been for years
the victim of speculative combination.
The manufacturers of cotton abroad,
the middlemen in Liverpool and New
York, and the farmer In the field were
the parties to the transaction of each
i year. The farmer, isolated and scat
tered, lacked the strength of united
effort and of market manipulation, and
readily became the victim of the other
two, who anticipated and controlled
■ prices adversely to the farmer. It
became a favorite trick to exaggerate
the surplus of cotton held over from
last year, and to add to It an exagger
ated estimate cf cotton in bearing. The
result was to break the back of the
market, and to run down the price so
that the farmer was reduced to beg- j
tary. 1
The seme game was on hand for tho
past year -deliberately entered in
to; deliberately held to even in
spite of ascertained facts; end In
tended to keep the price down to 5
cents. On the spur of emergency
The Constitution led the way in pro
test. The press of the south joined
hands, and the exposure of Neill’s
methods was so complete that the
scheme collapsed. When eo mucTi
could be done against such powerful
influences tn the absence of unity
among our farmers, the question ask
ed by Colonel Nesbitt becomes perti
nent as to how much farmers could
accomplish were they really organized
for the fray.
There is one point upon which The
Constitution has spoken heretofore,
but which is so well epitomized by
Colonel Nesbitt, that we must revert
COLD WEATHER WORKS WELL.
Fort Valley, Ga., January (Special.)— '
The weather ha* begun moderating and
the snow that has bet n on the ground
tinea Sunday to fust melting away. This
snow and freeze has made the fruit grow-l
t-rs of tills section very hopeful of u large'
yl< d of peaches this season. Heretofore
the heavy freeze* were preceded by an'
1 unusually warm spell which caused thel
I trees to bud. and w hen the freeze came i
they were killed. Now, however, the swell- i
Ing of the buds will be delayed, It Is
thought, until alter all possibility of *e-1
vere weather ;ias passed and it ao the
consequence will be the largest yield of
fruit known In this section.
News comes from all sections of the
state that the prominent fruit growers are
greatly encouraged on account of the re
cent cold spell and that the outlook for
a large peach crop this year is excellent.
It Is tho opinion of all the peach growers
that 11 the present . old weather continues
for a I'ew more days and no killing frost
occurs lute In the spring that this year
gives a promise of one of the largest
peach crops ever gathered in the state.
The growers claim that the present cold
weather has added at least a hundred per
cent to tho chances in Ta\or of a phenom
enal crop. It almost Invariably happens
rial a mini winter injures the peach crop,
ths tree* bud too early and stand the
chance of be;: g killed by a late freeze.
The present cold has retarded the growth
j ot the young buds so that they will hard
> ly put forth an appearance until after the
danger of frost Is over In the spring. The
! peach crop last year was almost a total
loss and another low this year would
bitt's £etter.
, to It This is not a farmers’ contest.
It involves the manufacturer, tho
banker and the merchant as well as
the farmer. As all of these Interests
are Inter-dependent upon each other,
the success of each Is equally essential.
It was a happy awakening of manu
facturer, banker and merchant when
they discovered their true Interest dur
ing the last few months, and rallied
so nobly to the aid of tho farmer.
i Through their friendly co-operatfon
i the farmer was enabled to hold back
hts cotton eo as to break the Neill
conspiracy. In this union, fortunate
ly brought about, we have discovered
, the key to success, and It rests with
l these people to Inaugurate some
' movement which will enable them to
[' meet the selling season of 1900.
! Since, then. It Is not the farmers
alone of the south, but the whole peo
ple, who are Interested In the outcome;
they should remember that though de
i seated and baffled once, Nelll’sm has
not surrendered. The Interests be
hind it are too powerful and too well
knit to be driven out of the field by a
I single encounter. We will meet it
again in 1900, with a "change of name,
perhaps, but the same old leopard
) without a spot marked cut. They will
build up a bogus balance of cotton at
the factories; they will swear to a
million or two bales hid out upon the
farms; they will exaggerate the pttch
' Ing of the crop this spring, and they
will control weather and soil so as to
turn out an enormous crop for the
selling season of 1900 Against this
great conspiracy, already on foot,
and seeking to recoup their losses of
1899 from the crop of 1900, the neo
ple of the south must oppose a counter
organization for truth and right.
The Constitution notes with pleas
tire Colonel Nesbitt’s suggestions of
organization. This Is a matter which
should be fully discussed by the men
In the field, so that they may take
; wise action. The commercial interests
of the country must stand boJilnd the
agricultural, so that with a united
' front we can face the conflict of 1900.

of the failure of the crop last year thou

year.
The famous Elberta peach, for which
Georgia Is so noted. Is particularly sensi
tive to the cold and If the trees bud too
■ early In the spring a cold spell is almost
I certain to ruin the crop for that year. The
, growers believe that the present cold has

any danger In the spring ami If the rest
of the weather this wlnt-r is as favorable

The thermometer here dropped to 10 de

NESBITT'S PLAN IS
LIKED BY STEVENS
He Says Constitution’s Fight
Has Materially Benefited
Cotton Growers
FAVORS UNITED ACTION
Georgia’s Commissioner of Agricul
ture Urges Farmers To Reduce
Cotton Acreage and Use
Less Fertilizers Next
Crop Season.
"I thoroughly approve of the sugges
tion of Senator R. T. Nesbitt,” said Com
missioner of Agriculture O. B. Stevens,
"that the farmers of the south should
meet organization with organization, and
that It was never more essential than
-ight now, because the bears will do
their best to down us this year. I pledge
the full strength of my efforts to any
work of the farmers to place themselves
in trim for the coming battle,”
This declaration was only what was to
I have been expected from the commis
sioner. Planters, merchants and profes
sional men from all parts of the state
visit the department of agriculture every
day, and they give him full ground upon
which to base such Indorsement of Sena
| tor Nesbitt's proposition.
"It Is remarkable to note.” said Com
| mlssioner Stevens, "how general Is the
feeling of better times over Georgia.
I This is true of every section of the state,
I I believe of every county. The farmers
owed less last fall for supplies than In
years—perhaps less than ever before. Tn
many counties the average Indebtedness
was not over 140 per plow where It used
to be as high as $75. As a result, one
bale of cotton at 7t4 cents about paid
■the merchant for each plow on which
he had advanced.”
"What do you suggest to keep up the
price of cotton this year?” the commis
sioner was asked.
•‘Smaller acreage and less fertilizers."
answered Colonel Stevens. "Os course
i the natural tendency of every farmer
I will be to plant more cotton this year
1 because he got a good price last fall.
But the planters know that this is the
Inclination of all. They have had experi
ence along that line.
"I think that if The Constitution and
other papers, daily and weekly, will urge
the farmers all over the south to cut
down their cotton acreage and their fer
ti’zer bills and grow more gra/.n, we can
hold down the production of cotton and
keep up the price. It is very Important
for the farmers to restrict the amount
of commercial fertilizers which they use.
And I presume that the advance in
the price of phosphates will causa them
'to buy less this year.
'"The Constlturtl.ln’s fight for S-cent
cotton and its successful effort to dis
credit Neill’s estimate has added mil
lions to 4110 south's Income the past year.
This department went on record months
ago to the effect that the cotton crop
, was short. The Constitution kept ham
mering away at the matter until every
body was convinced that Neill was about
3.000,000 bales out of the way. Our south
ern mills soon realized the truth and
they bought early, fortunately for them.
"Now, if our farmers will just hold
down their acreage this year, wo will
have another crop to market at 7% and
S cents Then with a small fertilizer bill
and their own home-raised meat and
wheat, the southern farmers will be In
easy circumstances with money In the
bank.
“And to make these precautions doubly
effective,” Commissioner Stevens con
cluded, "let the farmers organize in some
way so that they may all act along
well understood lines.” , _ »
g)Mf of the -parmers.
That a grave crisis Is ahead of the ■
farmers of ths southern states Is ap
parent to all who have watched the
events of the past year.
For the first time In the history of t
the cotton market, the producers were
suddenly rallied Into union a few
months ago and the efforts of bear
Influences to wrest the cotton crop
from them at half Its price was balked.
While not entirely successful In get
ting the intrinsic value of their crop,
the farmers have, nevertheless, made
a substantia! gain. The defeated con
spirators against the men In the field
have merely retreated to recover their
second wind, and we will have to meet
them again this year, on some ground
of their own choosing.
Therefore It Is that the situation Is
critical. We may not have the good
luck to flush the game this year which
fell to us last. We must be prepared
I for the unexpected. We must have
some watchful agency to direct when
the critical moment arrives. Upon
FARMERS PULL TOGETHER.
MEETING OF FARMERS IN LA- i
GRANGE ON TUESDAY.—
There Were No Big Speeches, but
Resolutions for a Decrease of
Acreage Were Passed.
LaGrange. Ga.. January 5 (Special.)—
A: the meeting of farmers held in the
courthouse Tuesday at noon W. T. God
win. who sent out the call, was mads
chairman and presided throughout the
I body’s deliberations.
No big -speeches or addresses were >
made, but qulto a number of farmers,
men who handle the plow and the hoe. ’
made talks, gave their experiences, told ‘
■the results of their experiments, their •
successes and their failures, and freely
expressed their opinions of the fertilizer 1
combine and declared their intention, i
Sime not 'to buj- at all, and others to '
use as little as possible of commercial ;
fertilize rs.
Judge !•’. M. Longley, who is one of ’
the must successful farmers In the court- '
ity, offered the following preamble and :
resolutions. which were unanimously
adopted:
"At a meeting of farmers, merchants ,
and bankers of Troup county on the Ist
or September, It was resolved that the
present cotton crop should be held by
them for S cents, and their action was
adopted generally throughout the country 1
and as a result a steady advance at once j
set In until the figure named has nearly i
been reached. But for this determined
resistence New York and Liverpool ’
would, ■in all probability, have held the
price down to 5 cents. In spite of class
legislation aga.nst him and combinations
of capital fattening on Ills toll, the
southern farmer, by the most rigorous,
pinching economy, has reached a point
where he can stoutly declare his inde
pendence. To maintain this, however,
will require unity of purpose and concert
of action; a perpetual vigilance and un
swerving resolve to insist on hts rights.
Tills is an auspicious time to consider
certain matters which lie out before us. !
We have no power to curtail the cotton |
crop, but we can and do appeal to the ■
common sense of our southern fa-mers '
to unite with us In a reduction us the |
aera. The acreage for IS9S was about j
25.000. WM. In 1599 the acreage was about,
23,000,000. What shall tt be in 1900?
“Moro wheat and oats have been sown
than perhups in anv one season in thlr
ty years, which will reduce tho cot: >n
I acreage considerably. Now. a 20.000.000-
j acre crop should yield, say B,ooo.*k*U bales,
and easily bring 10 cents, or -s4<h.«K>.>jOo.
while a 25.000.000-acre crop will be als nt
11,000.000 bae; at 5 cents, or $275.000.WM>
To siy nothing of tho extra labor and
expense, here is a loss <>f at hast sl-5.-
000.000. Wiiat shall the harvest be? Un |
der the galling gold standard the cotton ,
growers must curtail this crop, increase j
corn, raise more hogs, plant old worn
out lands in bermuda. increase the herds
of cattle, sheep and goats. Let our fu
ture be projected along these lines and
this goodlv land •.♦hieh the Lord has
given us will smile wbth plenty.
"Another thing which deserves your
consideration is the trust conspiracy,
which has encircled within its iron grasp
the fertilizer companies throughout the
country for the sole purpose of advanc
ing prices beyond real value as com
pared w ith farm products. This com
blno should be met and crushed just as
the bagging and tie trusts were sub
dued a few- years ago. Let the high
' priced fertilizers severely alone, using In-
I stead cotton seed, stable manure, etc
■ Deep plowing and wise agriculture is
God's appointed method, for He has d!s-
I tributed plant food In the earth so mu-
I nifiicently as not to require Its transpor
tation from other countries; therefore.
"Resolved. That the farmers of Troup
county make public this declaration that
they will not buy fertilizers for this year
at the advanced price of the trust now
handling these commercial manures, and
they call on the farmers of the south
I this line we print aWewhere a
stirring appeal from State Senator R.
T. Nesbitt, calling for some sort of or
ganization among the farmers and
their friends, the merchants and bank-
I
era—all of whom are interested In se
curing as large a market price as pos
sible for the great staple of the coun
try.
In another column will bo found a
striking interview from State Commis
sioner of Agriculture O. B. Stevens,
In which he gives the broadest and
most emphatic Indorsement to the
proposition of Senator Nesbitt. When
such men as these get together, with
others of like type end Influence, It
would look as If some shape might be
given to a movement to watch the
market the present year. Commissioner
Stevens gives good preliminary ad
vice—cut the cotton acreage, cut the
fertilizer bills, Increase the output o*
meat, grain and root crops, keep out
of debt and live at home.
Upon such lines as these we may
build up a successful platform.
to Join In ■the fight for honest compett
, tion as against trust combinations, to
' join In the use of home-made manures as
I against high-priced fertilizers, to join
i hi this effort to secure for agriculture
that fair and just reward Its godgiven
cal'lng demands.

call on th ir brethren throughout tho

end that meetings be held ar.d action

It was purely a farmers' meeting, an*
ns mentioned above, no b'.g speeches o«
i addresses were made, for farmers as a
class are not speech-makers, but quite a
1 number made short talks, which. It is
hoped, will result In much good to them
