The following address to the cotton
powers of the South has been sent out
by Mr. Harvie Jordan, president of the
southern Cotton Growers Association :
The executive commityee ot the
Southern Cotton Association held its
meeting at Ashajrille, N. C, last week,
and the question of fixing a minimum
price of this orop was the matter of
greatest interest to the people and the
country at large. The . eyes of the
whole cotton world were centered on
Abbeville during the 6th and 7th days
of September, while the executive com
mittee was in session.
The prioe finally agreed upon after
long and tedious deliberation was 11
cents, basis middling, at all interior
points in the South. The condition of
the orop up to August 25th was found
to be 73 08 per cent, as compared with
a oonditi n of 84 per cent, for the
same period a year ago. The estimated
yield of the qrop as reported by over
15,000 correspondents from all the cot
ton growing counties indicated yield
this season of 9,588,188 bales, as com
pared with a crop of 18.600,000 bales
last year. Letters from farmers all
over the belt advised a minimum price
all the way from 10 cents to 12J osnts,
some figuring as high as 15 cents. But
the final result was 11 cents, and far-
rmers all over the South will be ex
pected to stand firmly together this fall
and winter to maintain that prioe. - By
determined effort prices can be forced
up above 11 cents later on, and fanners
should determine now to move their
crops slowly and not rush the market.
Ine only way we can secure and main
tain our prioe is to refuse to sell for less
and make the buyers come to oar fig
ures. If eotton is thrown on the mar
ket and told anyway, it will be difficult
to force prices up until much later in
the season. Let those who are able
and can hold hack do so, and thereby
help those who are forced to sell to
meet their maturing debts and obliga
tions with the (apply merchant and
guano dealers. Bankers will be glad to
advance from 8 to 9 cents a pound on
cotton in storage add thus assist in fin
ancing the situation. We are np
against a hard fight, but it will be
easier to get 11 cents for a small
orop than 10 cents for a 13,600,000
bale crop.
. We are now well entrenched with
plenty of ammunition in the shape of
oorn and meat, oar banks have plenty
of money, the enemy is in retreat, and
if we don't whip this fight and force
the prioe of eotton to above 11 cents,
then the farmers of the South ought to
have a guardian appointed to look'af ter
their business interests. The mills of
the world have taken a orop of 13,600,-
000 bales of American cotton daring
the last twelve months. The prioe of
cotton goods is very high and going
still higher. The whole ctvilixed world
is in a prosperous condition and it is
unreasonable to say that the farmers
should not this season reoeive an aver
age of 11 cents per pound for a crop of
ootton now estimated to be nnder ten
million bales. All you have got to C"o
is to stand pat for your prioe, refuse to
sell nnder 11 cents and the market will
soon advance to that figure. If much
ootton is offered nnder 11 cents, as a
matter of course, the market can be de
pressed and held down.
The ootton agent of the Farmers'
Educational and Cooperative Union
of Texas was present with as at Ashe-
ville and took part in the secret sessions
of the executive commitee. He came
as the representative of the anion and
assisted in fixing the prioe at 11 cents,
stating that such a price would be ac
ceptable tg the 800,000 members of the
anion. We can now depend upon the
effective co-operation of all the mem
bers of the anion, as the new president
of the anion, Mr. Calvin, of Paris, Tex
has written me encouraging co
operation to more completely win oat
in the fight ahead. We also have
pledged the active co-ope ration of the
membership of the American Society
of Equity and the Farmers' Alliance,
of North Carolina, in enforcing the de
mand for the minimum prioe of 11
cents. This mains the position of the
nrSducers almost impregnable, and
srith all of these powerful farmers'
organisations working in harm my for
mutual protection, I feel safe in saying
that the fight can and will be easily
whipped. There will be no misunder
standing among these organiutioas
this season on this matter. We will
all work in harmony together, and a
knowledge of that fact ought to be most
encouraging. II we fanners union
wanted one price and the Southern
Ootton Association another, there
work together to win out on the prioe
agreed upon. ' w '
Sell but little cotton in September
and October. Give the mills a chanoe
to exhaust present supplies, which can
be done in six weeks, and then we can
easily dictate terms and win another
big victory. Sell no middling ootton
for less than 11 cents.
Bver Trie Cares This War t
It is a well-known fact that even the
best of housekeepers cannot make really
gxi toffee without the proper mate
rials.
They will never make it w th coffee
or doubtful origin, adulterated, queerly
blended, and possibly dirty coffee that
has, perhaps, been mixed np with all
kinds of other things on the counter.
But let them take a package of Lion
Coffee the purest and cleanest and
the brand universally used throughout
the United States for over twenty-five
lyears. Millions drink it daily, and get
lue Deal results u it is maae in tne loi
lowing way:
Try it onos and you will never want
to try any other brand of ooffee.-
HOW TO MAKB OOOD COFEM
Use Lion Coffee, because to get best
results you most use the best coffee.
Grind your Lion Coffee rather fine.
Use a "tablespoonful to eaoh cup, and
one extra for the pot." First mix it
with a little oold water, enough to make
a thick paste, and add white of an egg
(if egg is to be used as a settler), then
follow one of the following rules:
1st With boiling water. Add boil
ing water, and let it boil three minutes
only. Add a little oold water and set
aside five minutes to settle. Serve
promptly.
2d. With oold water. Add your
oold water to the paste and bring it to a
boil. Then set aside, add a little cold
water, and in five minutes it's ready to
serve.
Three Don'ts Don't boil too long.
Don't let it stand more than ten min
utes before serving. Don't use water
that has been boiled before.
TWO WAYS TO SETTLE COFFEE
1st. With eggs. Use part of the
white of an egg, mixing it with the
ground Lion Coffee before boiling.
2d. With oold water instead of
eggs. After boiling add a dash of cold
water, and set aside for eight or ten
minutes, then serve through a strainer.

my birthday comes first, in May, and
yours don't come until September."

Chariot- Chronicle. '
The cotton crop this year is oon
ceded by all authorities to be short
something in the neighborhood of ten
million bale but corn, wheat and
other products are anything but short.
The government figures, as The Chron
iols stated a few days ago, puts the
yield of ocrn fof this year at 2,717,000,
000 bushels. The wheat crop is esti
mated at 704,000,000 bushels; rye 30,
000,000 bushels; potatoes 283,000,000
bushels; barley 135,000,000 bushels.
Of these crops it is said that it is the
largest production of oorn ever known.
The highest previous yield wa in 1902,
which was 2.523,000,000 bushels. Only
in 1901, when it was 748,000,000 bush
els, didHhe wheat crop go abova the
1905 yield. O i's never beat this year's
figures except in 1902, when the output
was 988,000,000 bushels la 1901 and
1902 rye went a little above this year's
level. In 1904 barley beat the 1905
output by about 4 000,000 bushels.
Potatoes have several tims scored
higher totals than they did this year.
The aggregate of the cereal crops for
1905 is much above that of any pre
vious year. And while cotton may be
short, the prices the farmers get will J
average as good as that of the previous
year. Taking all things into considera
tion, it is reasonable to say that the
present year Is a year of plenty, and let
it go at that.

The most frequent affection of the
stomach is catarrh, as the delicate
membrane which" lines the stomach is
easily irritated by harmful food or
overeating. Keep a strict watch for
the first symptoms of stomach trouble.
Take this friendly warning in the spirit
in which it is given and profit by it
Shortness of breath, black specks be
fore th eyes, furred tongue, dizziness,
belching of gases or sour food, weak'
ness and debility are all signs of ca
tarrh of the stomach. There is no need
to be unduly alarmed, for this disease
can be cured by Mi-o-na. It is the
only remedy that strikes at the root of
the evil and actually cures the disease.
It does not contain opium tn any
form, acids,'' alcohol, or any orher
harmful drug or chemical. It is a pure
jemedy that heals the irritated mucous
membrane, stimulates the solar plexus,
and aids digestion.
Ask Gibson Diug Store to show you
the guarantee under which they sell
Mi-o na. It costs but 50 cents a box,
and your money is returned if it does
