PRESIDENT M. L.
JOHNSON.
WRITES STRONG LETTER
Urges Farmers To Continue
Fight For Better Prices
For Cotton, and To
Hold Every Bale.
President ALL. Johnson, of the
Georgia division, Southern Cotton
Association, has written a strong
letter to each county president in
Georgia urging them to keep up
the good work of the association.
Mr. Johnson calls attention to
the victory that has crowned the
efforts of the association. He asks |
that the biggest rally of the year
be held on the first Tuesday in
November and urges the cotton
growers to stand together.
The letter in full follows:
“Cass Station, Ga., October 25
1905.—Dear Sir: We are un¬
questionably winning. It is the
otjior fellow who is now facing a
condition and not a theory. The
speculative spinning and consum¬
ing world is facing the condition
of the cotton producers—sitting
steady —holding cotton —fixing
tifd price, and not selling for less.
“Let not one /alter. It is a
conimon cause,,.identical interests,
t^e same enemy. Wc are winning
r,Uti common cause — benefiting
t^eisame Identical interests and whipping
enemy.
“Every bale of cotton hold has
enhanced the valuer'of that sold,
Therefore in_.the fight not a bale
shcjuld salltunlesH it'be absolute
distress. Yet, such need not be,
J&oyy flirt county in Georgia cairtake
of every bale therein.
" “Be not fooled by misleading
statements. Read between the
lines. Is it really the frost scare
making cotton advance? Possibly,
£o Some extent. The refil cause,
-the main CYiu.se, is the'farmers
fielding; and they say it is the
frdst because they do not want
you to know that you are doing it.
I tell you that it is you, and I,
Want you to realize your power
anti know the weight of your ac¬
tion.
' “Therefore in view of the facts
and the approaching first Tuesday
in November—I most earnestly
u£ge to rally your people on this
regular meeting day and more
thoroughly organize — increase
your membership - provide for
taking care of distress cotton in
-your country—and procure as
near unanimity as possible.
Further, I urgently request
you to. Beyond a doubt the time
isj at hand for their effort. Let us
press our advantage to its utmost
and future victories will bo more
easily won. Yours for another
victory.
