OONDUOTED BY J. C. 8TRIDUN0.
2?S* Comm alsation a Intended forthin
department should be addressed lo
J. C. Stribllog, Potdleton, li. C.
The Colton Association.
Wo need representatives of every oc
c upa ti on ia tho Sooth in tho Cotton
AaBOci&tion excepting cotton brokera
and speculators!
Cotton producers ehould court the
aid of all other occapations in a co-op
erative way through tho medium of
the Cotton Association to maintain
profitable prices to the producers of
cotton!
Bot cotton farmers should never
think of uein? the Cotton Association
as a strictly farmers' organisation any
more than the merchant? banker, or
any other organization would recog
nise the cotton association as their
tradesmen association.
Ali other occupations in the South
have learned at last what profitable
prices to the producers or cotton
means! All know too well that if cot
ton does not bring io the revenue ju
profits to the cotton farmers that the
consequent loss to the farmer mean^
money taken out of the Bouth to the
injury of every occupation in the
South. AU tradesmen in the South
know that In order to make money
that they must be about places where
the money is in circulation, the:-eforo
all trades in the South are interested
in having the cotton farmer get good
profits on his cotton.
Cotton spinners and speculators are
the only parties against rising prices
of cotton in the South. Wo should
counsel with the cotton ?pinners and
ignore the cotton speculators. We
need the spinners to work up our cot
ton! Cotton speculators kelp abso
lutely no one excepting themselves;
they may be bears on the cotton mar
? ket today and bulls tomorrow. Cotton
speculators may bo depended upon to
fluctuate and disturb the cotton mar
ket one way or tho other at all times,
I for the reason that fluctuation is bis
stock in trade. Aa the hawk loiters on
the railroad waiting for passing trains
to disturb the birds that he may swoop
down upon bis prey-upon either eide
-so does the cotton speculator pre
pare - himself to swoop down upon his
prey upon either side while the great
government reports are passing over
the wires frightening smaller cotton
men. Baying cotton futures is about
on a par with betting on the other fel
Icw'c SWS mrnat '_?_'h* ?a ?ol!oTS S?C

many far&srs ;hsre aro nowadays

If the Southern Cotton Association

omtion must ehako oat tba trash. If
the cotton market of the South ls ever
put noon a stable basie tho agitators Of
the cotton market must not oe count

against their interest. These . cotton
speculators are no fools! .They are

. lt is surprising bow little some far

of the ingredients that common com

' They look upon fertilizers as a kind
of mysterious compound that is con

tho fact whether the landa ar? In need

not! ....:......;"., \: - . ;;r-..

Heavy port receipts do not indicate
that this cotton hus been sold eiuce

Most any sort of a common coward
can stand up and call out to his fellow
men to bo bravo and patriotic whilst
the smell of burning powder is not in
the air, but none save the true and
tried will stand up iu front of tho guns
when they are send?cg tala their
storms of tire and lead.
Cotton bears are now ehelling the
woods of the South trying their best
to frighten the cotton holdere into
turning their cotton loose. Cotton
holders must do these fellows up on the
same plan thoy did last year. You
must ntand together. Don't break the
ranks at this time and hour of the hot

Stand lirra and show tho world what
