f: imitation nnd Jn the face t.t the three largest crops ever produced In , the South, has bren rorn pleti'ly vic torious. Kot only i this true, but och succeeding crop ha been Bold ,ln the aggregate for more money than Ua predecessor. .-. The big crop of 1804 told In the abrogate for 688,00o ilOO; that of i05 for S0,000,00, and the crop of J90 will pass Into the, markets of the tountry at en ag gregate value of $860,000,000. The grand total of three crops aggregated tha' enormous amount of 11.050,000.- 000,- pot Including the value of the . wed. It would nave required xne entire output of all the gold, mines of the world for eighteen months to pay for any one of the three crops i of cotton stated above, or u wouia nave required $100,000,000 more than the capital stock of all the national ' banks In the United States to have purchased any one of these three erops. It cannot be denied that the " farmer of the South have made a net saving of at least $200,000,000 In the marketing of thePe three crops, through' the effective aid of thin as sociation und allied organizations. When It la borne In mind that the total subscription paid, by farmers, firms and peopde of all avocation In the South to the support of the coun ty and State division and the na tional organisation of th association, docs not exceed a total of $50,000 for the two years of Its existence, It will give you some Idea of the tremen dous results which have been achiev ed through an infinitesimal Invest ment. OLD METHODS HEVOIXTIOXIZKD ' The Southern Cotton Association first began the active agitation for the building of flrst-cliiKs cotton ware houses all over the cotton belt, there by providing a ewlft and permanent method of securing good and safe Storage for cotton, cheap Insurance and a satisfactory method of financing the crop to ax to inaugurate a slow movement of the staple on the mar kets of the country. It Is the only organization whli h ever secured a practical leduclion In the cotton acreage when a reduction In the acre age became imperative. It Is the only organization which preferred charges against the wrong doings of certain officials In the bureau of cot ton stitlstles at Washington, and suc cessfully proved them. It Is the only association of cotton growers which brought about a conference between domestic and foreign spinners and the producers of American rotton. It was the first and only association of cotton growers which has been able to name and maintain its mini mum price on cottdn thitce years In succession, against the organized brain and capital of the world. This association-has within two years es tablished a fixed minimum basis of ten cents per pound for American cotton, and thm. price is now recog nised as unalterable throughout the entire cotton spinning area of the world. Through the propaganda of this association, scattered broadcast throughout this beautiful land of Dixie, the Southern farmer Is being taught to read and think for himself, to diversify his farming Interests and make his necessary food supply crops St home; to break up the Iniquitous credit system, which has so long been one of the unfortunate, legacies of the civil war; to co-operate among themselves and Invite the aid of all legitimate Southern Interests In the tk tn i 1 nt i I 11.. t.rli.. A m..,. llgllL I'J llldlllintll t n 1 - Ican cotton at fair ami profitable fig ures. The highest ambition of the Southern Cotton Association Is to Hid In securing prosperity to the rank and file of southern farmers; to see them, the producers of the natural wealth of our country, happy and in dependent; to see their children en joying all the advantaKes of a first- class education and training. hlch : will properly fit them for the avnea lions they expect to pursue In after years; to see beautiful rural homes, filled with many of the luxuries of modern life; splendid public roads, and withal, a high type of educated, prosperous husbandry, ouch as should be the poillon of every member of the South' s Anglo-Saxon race.

American cotton have kept apace with the abnormal productions during the past thrje years. The supplies from the two crops of 1 $04-8, aggregating 25,600, 000 bales, have already passed Into consumption with on unabated de mand lor every bale that has .been produced." in; 106.'."-V7hU the aver age annual consumption of America cotton has now reached the tremen dous' total of 12,800,000 bales, yet I warn you that any production for 107 materially exceeding that figure will to a certain extent, at least, prove disastrous to the growers. I there fore urge and appeal to you,- with all the power at my tommand( and with a full knowledge of the cotton situa tion, to be conservative and moderate in planting the cotton urea this year, and to Increase as far as possible the acreage in necessary food supply crops. It is a well known fact that manufactured cotton goods re Sell ing at higher prices than for many years, and that the demand for the jobbing and retail trade cannot be supplied by the number of spindles now In active operation. If our sys tems of warehousing, financing and marketing slowly the cotton crop were perfected, we couW have sold the present crop on a basis of twelve cnts as easily as ten cents, and net ted to the South $125,000,000 more than we will receive, without detri ment to the spinners or the cotton trade, of the world. It is not wise to supply the trade with a surplus of any commodity, and this Is especially true of cotton. It Is therefore of the highest Importance to press forward the building of adequate warehouses and the preparation of feasible plans bv which the crop can be protected and placed on the markets In such quantities as to meet the legitimate and necessary demands of the mills. The association has no desire to in augurate any system which would Jeopardize the cotton milling Interests of the country. We Invite the co operation of our milling Interests to secure an abatement of many of those evils from which the producers and the spinners are Jointly suffering to-day, and to aid In the establish ment of stable prices that will be profitable to the growers. What our people need above all things else Is thorough education upon the Intrin sic value of their staple In Its rela tion to the cost of production, and the needs of the consuming world. The percentage of the, Increaso In the price of cotton should be kept on a parity with the Increasing percent ages In prleea of other staple com modities. Cotton Is the most staple crop in the world, and as the cost of production Increases, the price of the staple must also advance correspond ingly, or elso the growers must suffer the lash of poverty In producing a world's necessity. The association Is committed to the policy of gradually bringing about direct trade between the growers and spinners and eliminating as nearly as possibly all conflicting Interests, which are detrimental to or present ob stacloa to the best and surest means of handling the South's cotton crop to tho best possible advantage to the productive and consumptive Interests of tho legitimate cotton trade. The time has come when the farmers of the South should be educated to de mand a higher price for their cotton In order that tho profit on their staple and the success of the avocation In which they are engaged may be placed on n parity with other business during so prosperous an era in the nation's progress. TIIK Sl'IUKCT OF IMMIGRATION'. The labor problem of the South Is attracting the serious attention, at the present time, of our Stae Legis latures, organized commercial and In- fufl r((', ,,,,, ,, raMrnd corpora Hons. The question of Immigration to the South, If attempted on a large 'i ale, should command the most se rious and thoughtful attention of . i.-ry man who loves the South and vrlshes to safeguard our country to the future ownership and protection of our present Anglo-Saxon race. If Southern cotton mills. Industrial en terprise nnd railway Interests require additional expert labor, let them Im port this labor from those sections of Kurope that will fill the demand and at the same time give an addition to our popiiiiiiiun that will not Jeopard ize the fiitui'i lights und prhll.-geM , ..f Am-ibun luhor, and whli h will at lull Mines respect the religions, laws nnd ti;i'liMoiiK of the South The ib I 111. nnl fi"in nine ijuarters (especially I maiiatlng fi .mi for.

EVILS OF SPECULATION. The greatest evil with which South em cotton growers and the manufac turers of American cotton have had to contend has been the speculation "in cotton futures. - The unbridled manner in which this business has been carried on for many years Jn the cotton exchanges, private , wire houses and oucget shops of the coun try has at last aroused the - whole pople of the country to- the enormity of the evil and Is causing them to make an emphatic demand for its suppression by State and national leg islation. The Southern Cotton Asso ciation Is the only organization In the South which has forcibly presented the evils of speculation to the people and begun an active campaign for Us suppression. After a long and bitter' struggle, during the past summer, while the General Aasembly of Georgia was In session, the officers of your associa tion, backed by the commercial bodies, mill owners and large buyers of cotton In that -State, together with the loyalty of the members of the Legislature, secured the overwhelm ing passage of the "Boykln" bill, the provisions of which drove every pri vate wire exchange and bucket shop out of business on December 31, 190. The law Is a good one. It will stand the test of courts and will accom plish the objects desired, notwith standing the fact that Its provisions are being opposed at the present time by the continued operation of one or two gambling institutions In the State. As the Legislatures of other Southern Ktates convene this winter, I am as sured that similar laws in those States will be passed, and within a short time the whole South will be freed from this spqecles of graft and In iquity, which has for years period ically robbed our people of millions of dollars and depressed the price of cotton far below Us legitimate values. This association has no desire to make war upon any cotton exchange which issues an honest, legitimate contract to be used to facilitate the handling of spot cotton by the legiti mate coton trade. But all forms of speculation and graft the association will continue to combat until relief for the cotton growers who suffer from such institutions has been fully obtained. NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE. Last September I was especially di rected by the executive committee of this association to take jteps looking to the suppression of the unfair prac tices and wholesale speculative fea tures of the New York Cotton Ex change. Recognizing the power and In fluence of that exchange, with Its ten tacles of branch exchanges covering all sections of the country, the mil lions of dollars at Its command, and the unscrupulous methods employed In many of its olllclal acts and doings, I fully realized the enormity of the undertaking. Hut as I have never for one Instance hesitated or shirked the responsibility of my duties to the people of th South, I went forward determined to do my best, regardless of the ultimate result of the issue. Without adequate funds It was a difficult undertaking to secure evi dence and perfect a plan of procedure that would substantiate charges of Il legal and unfair practices by the offi cials of that exchange. While I was busily engugod making war against the evil sof local wire exchanges and bucket shops In the South and also fighting the Iniquity of certain prac tices of the New York cotton ex change, my efforts were being to a certain extent handicapped by bitter and unscrupulous attacks concen trated against me by friends of these institutions, and surreptitiously pub lished In columns of many leading newspapers In the South. I was charged with speculating In Wall street and organizing a campaign to depress the price of rotton. I was charged with being a gambler and an enemy to Southern farmers. If there had ever been one scintilla of truth In these Infumous falsehoods and ( barges they would have been quick ly proven by these enemies of mine, and the Southern rotton Association, and sent broadcast throughout the country I admit that 1 made nu merous visits to Washington and New It a nod. old world afur all.

Lard has long time Human nature is hard to solve. People who are most particular about adapting the weight of their wearine apparel to the season and its conditions, who never think of going out In a storm without an umbrella and rubbers, who would not sit in a draft for a farm, will calmly sit at the table and stuff themselves with lard-soaked food and not realize for an instant that it is likely to give them a full-fledged case of indiges tion and clog their whole inner machinery. Lard is produced from hog-fats, some times impure, always indigestible, and there's a good day coming when no one will think of using it for cooking.

Nature's Gift York Muli:- the evils which bur dened the farmers of the fnoutli through certain institutions in botu cities. I talked to many Southern Congressmen as to the best ways and meuns of securing relief through. Fed eral legiMiation. In Now , York I worked to secure evidence to substan tiate charges of evil practices by the officers of the New Tork Cotton Ex change. I held conferences there with the heada of great banking In stitutions tn an effort to induce the co-operation of Eastern banks with Southern banks, so as to guarantee an abundance of cheap money in the South and enable Southern farmers to secure loans to meet their maturing obligations on warehouse receipts, and by holding back the staple, force prices-to higher levels. I have held conference in-New York, with repre sentatives of leading wholesale job bing houses in that city and Chicago, in an effort to ascertain the supply of manufactured cotton and the prices at which tho goods were sold, Includ ing the supply and demand. 1 have held conferences there with men in-, terested in the Industrial development of the South, all of my acts and do ings being fully known to members of the executive committee of this as sociation, and endorsed and sanction ed by them. Any man who serves as the official head of this association must Investigate and study every phase and detail of the cotton busi ness, If his advice is to be either val uable or reliable. My every thought and every act has been for the ad vancement of the best Interests of fhe South and I can point to my rec ord up to this hour as an unanswer able argument to that fact, and as a reply to those who have done an in their power to Injure my influence and to destroy the usefulness of the powerful organization of which I have been the official head for the past two years. I ask you, my coun trymen, to stand loyally by the South ern Cotton Association, and defend and protect It against that great army numbered among the speculative in terests of the country who nave cann ed themselves together with their mil lions of dollars and unscrupulous tac tics to destroy it. v POSTOFFICE FRAUD ORDER. On December 30 Hon. L. F. Living ston, member of Congress from Geor gia, wired me to meet him at once In Washington to lay a request lor the Issuance of a fraud order by the United States Postofnce Department against certain officials of the New York Cotton Exchange. I Immediate ly Joined Col. Livingston In Washing ton, and after preparing the charges and affixing our evidence, the request for a fraud order was filed with Post master General Cortelyou on Janu ary 2, and amended by additional evi dence which I secured in New Jork January 4. You are familiar with these' charges, which have already ap peared In the press of the country. These charges will be proven by men of high character and unimpeachable integrity. If the evils charged cannot be abated through the Postofnce De partment they will bo reached through other legal Departments of the State or Federal government. My only object Is to force the New York Cotton Exchange to adopt the same methods employed by the leading cot ton exchanges, and Issue a legal, hon est and fair contract which can be used In the legitimate cotton trade, or to force It to go out of business. I want the New York Cotton Exchange to lellveY splnnlble grades of cotton on contracts based upon the true in trinsic value of the staple, and stop Its present practices of operating a (rambling Institution to the great der rlment of Southern cotton growers. Jn this fight I want the backing and co-operation of the people of the whole country. I am threatened with arrest and criminal prosecution by the officials of that exchange, because I have had tha nerve to expose their unfair prac tices and fraudulent contract trans actions. I defy them to place their threats In execution. I had rather live upon the vapors of a prison cell through the discharge of a patriotic duty than to live in the glided walls of a palace built by money Illegally wrung from the hard-earned labor of tho farmers of the South.
