To the Editor of The Obeervjrs '-'
' This la a vital subject and Interests
all persons, at least of the South,
whether they bO growers or manufac
turers of cotton - or whether' they
never grow or spin a pound. The
price of cotton Is our financial bar
ometer.. When it Js high, we are pros
perous. ( When it la . : low, ' business
grows dull and stagnates.
- A serious question la now present
ed to the farmers. Shall they bold
their cotton or sell at the . present
price? If we regard production and
consumption alone, conditions vn
doubtedly justify: higher prices. Co'n
sumptlon is the . largest tn v history,
and , will "probably; continue ; havy,
even If not quite up' to .the present
high-water mark. Production- la cer
tainly. !;net excessive. , Everything in
dicates a yield much lower than that
of last year, The glnners report half
a million behind last year, with bet
ter weather. Receipts and r-visible
supply both Indicate the same thing.
' Within the lasUfew days Mr. A. J.
Buston, the distinguished English ex
pert,, who annually - visits the. United
States to estimate the yield, gave out
a prediction. Mr. Buston Is sent over
by the English manufacturers.'' Their
interest and hope is always that there
may, be an abundant crop and moder
ate prices, Mr. Buston la thoroughly
conscientious, but he looks ? at j the
crop from the vtewpolnt of the buy
er, and he Beldom, If ever, under-es
tlmates a crop. ' So much for the rec
ord and viewpoint of the expert , His
prediction of the crop ot 1907 Is that
It cannot i possibly exceed 1Z,000.00
bales. He evidently believes It will
be much under this. ,
: Last year the world took at con
stantly rising prices , an American
crop of onore than 13.500,000 bales.
Prices rose to it cents and held there
until the'present crop began to move.
There was every likelihood of an ex
cellent price for, the entire crop, of
1907 until within the last, six or eight
weeks. In that time there has been
a succession of disturbances , In the
business world, which have had a
most calamitous effect upon the price
of cotton. Without blaming anybody,
or seeking to say where the fault 11' s,
we ere compelled to say that in the
fight between the President, the ! na
tional administration hd a score-' of
the State administrations on one aids,
and the various financial and trans
portation Interests on the ether. ' the
farmer has been grievously injured,
Measured, by the difference : In the
price ruling two months ago end to
day, the value of the present cotton
crop ' has fallen In that time fully
f 150.000,000. Unfortunately, this de
cline came when the farmers least
able to hold cotton were compelled to
sell; and to them the loss Is without
remedy: nor Is there any present Indi
cation that there will be Improve
ment. Business la in, a- state of un
certainty; - Expenss!arev being - cut
down." skilled . workmen discharged,
work-shops closing up, hands laid off
everywhere, and the wonst may not be
over yet.:.:-5: ?. v:-;':r-;-ft,-4-,:v
Under tnese. circumstances, it Is
hard for, a farmer to decide what he
had best' do. . He ' - does not know
whether he ought to accept' for his
cotton a price he knows la too low:
or whether he ought to hold, and If a
panio comes take a much lower price.
If one knew wnat the famous -hear
hunter at 7 Washington intended . to
recommend to Congress, andMf 'one
knew how hlWdvlce would be recelv
ed, and ; incidentally ;,U?, one S knew
what, the Governors and Legislatures
of a score of States, including . our
own, intended to do, a farmer might
be in a better position to know whet h
er to hold cotton or not. If the pres
ent indiscriminate attack' on business
is to continue and you have; cotton,
you had better selt it. ' If , a spirit of
compromise , ' and , settlement, i peace
and good will shall come over the
land, and If controversies, which have
become so painful and acute this
year,: should be speedily settled,
farmer will make money by holding
his cotton, for work-shops wonld re
open and the demands of the coun
try would be seeking for more la
borers Instead of laving them off, as
now seema to be the rule.
The situation seems to be about
this;.. We can have pfce and-. hlh
prices on the one hand, and on the
othr we can have controversies, lltl
gallon without end, trouble. Excite
ment, and expenses, and low ? prices
for cotton, and a probable j' dlsafliter

Special to The Observer.
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 7. Referring
to the importance to the South of the
passing of the control of the, Tennessee
Coal, Iron- and Railroad Company to
the United States Steel Corporation,
The Manufacturers Record in this
week's issue says: ' .,' ; . ,
"Two years ago, when the control of
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company passed from the ownership
of the people who had dominated it
for many years to a pool composed of
John W. Gates and his associates, a
great step forward was made for the
development of the Iron and steel In
terests of Alabama. The new owner
ship ; Immediately commenced to
carry out on a large, scale plans for
an increased output of iron and the
doubling of their steel rail capacity.
Involving an outlay of a good many
minions or dollars. ' .i ,i
ANOTHER STEP FORWARD. .
Important to the South as was this'
transfer of ownership it is of still
greater: Importance that another step
forward has been . made. Now that
thj Steel Corporation has secured con
trol of the Tennesaee Company, the
world will be assured of the develop
ment of the Iron and steel interests of
Alabama on la scale commensurate
with the' natural advantages of that
State. Backed by the vast resources
In money, j brains and energy of the
Steel Corporation. : the Alabama dis
trict, with Its practically, limitless re
sources of coal and iron, ought to leap
forward into a far more commanding
position - than. v ever before In the
world's metallurgical affairs. For.
good . business reasons, as . well as
public policyj- will compel the Steel
Corporation to make the most of the
advantages of Alabama for iron and
steel production. The recent report
of President Topping, of the Tennessee
Company, placed the known Iron ore
resources 01 ; war . company at
700,000.000 tons - and v the : coat at
2,000,000,000 tons. . This Is about as
much Iron ore and several times as
much coal as the Steel Corporation
owned when It was organized. Here
s a wealth of resource in raw ma
terlal needing but the magic wand of
m pie eapl tal to" enable Alabama to
take Its riehtful t1bcb as one nf the
foremost centres of the world'a Iron
and steel production. With the Steel
Corporation owning these vast proper
ties in Alabama, it will be reasonable
to expect that it will carry forward
on a much larger scale than the form
er owners could possibly do the fullest
utilisation of this wealth of raw ma
terial, and the development of the pro
perties or tne Tennessee Company.
through th3 entrance into the Ala
bama district of the Steel Corpora
tion, will unquestionably prove of very
great advantage not only to all other
iron ana coal properties In that State,
but In the whole central tSouth."
EXPANSION AT SEWELL'S POINT,
Pointing to expansion of the coal
mining industry in another part of the
South, in ..Virginia and West .Virginia

the preparations of the Virginia Rail

pushing work upon Its pier there, a

It is rumored that this Is Just the
beginning of the marriages that in
to take place here between now and
Christmas. There are several aua
picloua couples here in Hamlet . bet
sides those of the young men who are
going out of town to get wives.
The Bank of Hamlet is prepared to
handle all local business and to pay
all depositors the full amount of their
deposits. The officers decided not to
limit the amount. The bank is pro
tecting itself by not paying out any
money on foreign paper, and la hav
ing the support of Its local patrona.
The only Inconvenience that Is liable
to be experienced here Is whe.i the
Seaboard checks, amounting to about.
$15,000 come in on the 16th. . But
It la believed that by that time the
bank will have arrangements made
with the treasurer of the company to
take care of the pay roll. There Is
probably no money institution through
thla section . that is In better shape
than the Bank of Hamlet. : "
