WAR ON SPECULATION
Fr. Mdent M. L. Johnson, of the
Georgia division. Southern Cotton Ai
re elation, Tuesday gave out a state
ment to tho farmers and other busl-
'V nt-aa men of Georgia, In which he urges
. them to stand together In fighting the
1 speculative manipulations of the mar
ket, and to put themselves In a posi
tion where they will be uble to hold
cotton In the fall for remuneratlva
prh-oe.
H President Johnson says:
• One of tho main purposes of tho
Southern Colton Association, express
ed In Its constitution. Is to put an end
■>t.> the manipulation of the cotton
■MM by speculators, whose control
,-of t to market has resulted In the pro-
■tlurers* failure to secure remunerative
< price for hia product. I want to appeal
tn and arouse the members of the as-
a.u'Ution and others In Georgia in op-
position to this evil of speculation. The
county dlvatona can take a hand In
this matter and can do much toward
1 knocking out ths bucket shops and
ii., other mediums of speculation In
this state. Efforts have been madu to
secure the passage of a law to put
' an end to this open speculation In
Georgia, but we want to see to It
that then efforts are successful.
Th, re should be such a law In Georgia,
amt the members of this association
can do much toward bringing about
that end If they will but exert them-
e*o*a. Everybody knows that the sta
tist!, position of cotton was never
stronger than It la today, and the re-
cent market, therefore, Is tho re-
auii of manipulation and speculation
Tin- mills are sold way ahead, and
Ih.te Is a steady demand not only for
Hi. raw malarial, but for the finished
pi oduqt of all kinds. Yet the market
ha- declined solely because of the
sp— a stive manipulation. Let's get tn
noli, ind Mot it out, for It means the
pt . i i er's salvation.
At.othsr thing to which I want to
ex' int attention Is that thla com-

which Includes addresses by men
prominent In their professions
throughout the country.
There le every Indication of this,
the seml-centennlsl commencement,
being the largest und most successful
In the history of Newberry college.
Ing fall la the time tq force up cotton
to a llxed minimum price, because
then the consumers of the raw material
wilt be shortest of supplies. Now Is
the time for you to put yourself In a
position where you will not be forced
to sell your cotton at the prices of
fered for the new crop, unless those
prices are remunerative or are the
prices llxed by the association. I have
called attention to the Importance of,
this principle before, and I trust ihe
producers have been proceeding on this
line. Keep It up; make yourself In
dependent, and you will be In a posi
tion not only to demand, but to get
for your product a |>rice that will pt
