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. AL L. Johnson, Pres. Ga. Div. S. C. A. Notice Baptists. Elder John G. McCord, of Alabama, will preach, D. V., as| follows: Olive Leaf, Nov. 16. Prospect, Nov. 17.
