Prohablj the ia significant thin 's,yt ('t a Ubrf oa the Farmer that Acreage Will Not be Reduced. that has happened in fxlilk fur tome time U the recent election of Judge Dunne, a Democrat, a mart of Chicaga The ainiSeinoe lie in the fact that hit platform was for the immediate ownership if the street railway by the city. We take this at very strong indication of the pread of thia doctrine in the mind of the people. Nor can it be charged in thia instance to Democratic radi caliam, because the Republican op ponent of Judge Dunne was also in favor of municipal ownership as soon as it became expedient, and the elec tion seemed to turn on the question of which candidate offered the best hope of success. Internment own ership may turn out to be an econ omic fallacy, but it is at present the quickest protest that the people can Cotton I Worth Ten Cents Pound and Will Brin it II Farmers WUI 5uul Real iVanint ol Tat Sales and the Reason Southet ia Seiliflf Farmers Must Come Together Wilh All Classes in the South and Dictate the Price f Cotton. Mr. Hanie Jordan, president of the Southern lotion Association, spoke for an hour to a big gathering of farmers and business men in the court bouse in Monn Friday. He is a handsome man, plainly, but neat ly drtssed, with fine head, positive eye and mellow wtee. The court house was filled with an enthusiastic crowd, and the smooth, positive state ments of the speaker were freely ap plauded. Mr. Jordan believes that cotton is still king, but the farmers must take the situation into their own hands and demand its regal rights, lie wants the farmers, busi ness men and all classes in the South to hold together and dictate to the world the price of their labors.

He said: saij wa arxiit the great Southern "We invoke Thy choicest blessings staple in general, and the purposes upon our country at large. Bless the j of the Southern Cotton Association in Chief Executive of this great nation ' particular. The organization of t hir personally and officially, and as he is ' association was not an accident, bu! soon to reacti tne nappy nunnng--reu- out oi necessity in me gieai crisis that confronts the smth. " The farmers know all about grow ing cotton, so much so that we have now 2,000,000 bales more than the world needs. What we need to learn is how to sell it. Not a man in the audience can tell me w hat became of the crop of I'.MM We all know that we made 10,300,000 bales, but not a one knows where it went, what it cost the manufacturers, where they sold the cloth nor hat it brought. This is true of business men as well as farmers. But these are the things we must know. 'J he Southern Cot ton Association protxws to t;ike up this matter and find out every let.nl about the consumption of cotton ami put it into the hands of all. "American cotton has only four com petitors wool, llax, silk, and foreign grown cotton. But none of these articles are competitors until our cot ton reaches 14 cents a pound. I'p to that figure we have a complete monopoly. After that figure is reached they can bring in some of the short staple of India, mix it with better grades and use it. Yet we are asked to sell our cotton at 7 cents! The enormous value of the South' cotton cmp is not appreciated. Its product turns the balance of trade in our favor and makes the I'nited States a creditor nation. It bruits back more money from abroad than all other products and manufactures combined. 1 he crop of r.wj could have paid one dollar a bushel for every bit of corn made in the I'nited States. Our cotton and cotton gmd exports last year were over Hf l.lKX), 000 a day. Now, when we under stand what a good thing we have doesn't it look like we could get ti- gether on a business basis and get the full benefit of it? 'Farmers set the price on nothing that they buy or sell. Other people hold both ends of the roe, and if they didn't hang us they would be fools. The farmers of the W'ust have already freed themselves. The farm ers of the great wheat growing States have organized, put up big granenes and sell at their own price. They have fixed a minimum price of 90 cents a bushel for wheat and 40 cents for corn, and when it goes below these prices they simply lock up the store and wait for the world to get hungry and pay their price. As a result they are gettiag 43 cents for corn in the face of the biggest crop in the world. hen they sold as we sell our cotton, wheat and corn went to 25 and 15 cents. We put our whole crop on the market in IK) days, make an enormous over-supply for the time, mills buy their supply at the depressed price, the demand is relaxed the balance of the year and the simulators fix the price. This is a cold business proposition, and we should not fall out with others for taking advantage of a business situation which we make. We have no enemies; we are our own enemies. The farmer has devoted bis time solely to production and allowed others to dominate the selling. We can t handle our crop without a system of warehouses. I have just come from the great Southwest, where ground,' on which he has fixed his faraway gaze, and where the wild beasts abound, whether these mon sters of the mountain tlee from him in fear or fly at him in fury, may he find himself protected by the shield of the Almighty, so that on his re turn to his home in peace and safety, like thy servant David of old, he can testify to the people that the I-ord delivered him out of tlie paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear and let all the people praise Tlu Amen and amen. Brother Bradford is either crazy or be is an irreverant clown w hose pas sion for joking stops not even at sacred things. We do not take any stock in the repeated assertion that the farmers who have signed pledges to reduce their cotton acreage will not "stii k. Of course, the men who have not signed the pledge are left to do as they please, but to say that any num. ber of those who have signed will not keep their solemn obligations, is charge too serious to make, and we refuse to believe it. The great num ber who have signed tlie pledge will keep it, and the farmers who have not signed will be bound by their own judgment as to whether it is good policy to plant little or much One thing seems to be certain that there will be a considerable reduc tion. Another thing that most peo ple seem to be agreed on, is that the man who does reduce, regardless of what his neighbor does, is going to turn out to be the wise one John Paul Jones, the man who first taught the world to respect the American Dag, was a most spectacu lar sea fighter. Kvery schoolboy knows him as the man who, when summoned to surrender, sent back the defiant answer that he had not begun to fight, though his ship was then in a sinking condition. Though he did invaluable service in the American cause and was a terror to the British, his body was buried in an unknown grave in Paris, and was quickly lost sight of. Numerous searches have been made for it, but without success until the other day, when it was found by Admiral Por ter, the American minister at Paris. The search was a success only after five years of patient labor, carried on at the admiral's own expense. The body had been preserved in alcohol and the recognition seems to have been complete. It will be brought to this cowry and re-enterred. The extent of the rural free deliv ery system in North Carolina is indi cated by the fact that for the first quarter of this year the postmaster . n I i 1 L 1 at ' VVUIC it Wilt lllv Jt,l Clli VII nwn, T I1V. I V st Raleigh, who is the paymaster of , it ig rtei that farmers are selling uie nunc, pam w rurai carriers , fast. I hey are selling but it is not another. Thev want a stable price. tnd the mill men in Georgia are put ting money in our association so that ihey can say to the world. "You can't i.-et it tor less man lu cent. e want to fix a stable price and encour age the growth of mills in the South. U e want this stvtion houev combed with mills, for they bring wealth to us. We have to submit to a price sent out by men 3,000 miles away, and the Knglishmen say that South ern business men and farmers act like brainless fools, all because we do not know how to sell it. Umg staple cotton was selling a few years ago for 9 and 10 cents and two men controlled it. I went to the growers and called a meeting ami asked them if they knew what beear: e of their cotton. They did not 1 told them that J. A P. Coats and other thread manufacturers formed into a trust, took one pound of it for 10 cents, made S dozen spoils of thread out of it and sold it back to them for $4 SO. Since that time they have put up the price of long staple cotton to 25 cents a pound oince December 3rd, the tankers have stood loyally by us and some of them have strained themselves lint the best financial aid a farmer ever had is a full corn crib and smokehouse that will solve the problem. Providence never intend ed the favored South to be depend ent liHn any other section. Yet the only time many farmers can claim they own their cotton is while they are sitting on the tales hauling them to town. Seventy per cent, of the fanners of the South are tenants, and landlords ought to encourage croppers to break up the infernal credit system. The cotton consum ing world will hae you clincliej i long as you follow it, and make all debts due ill Octotar and sell cotton as at present. .Market some each month, make all you need, and hold your cotton till buyers come and ask you what you'll take. Then you won't have to run buyers down to ask what they'll give. "Break uithe system of marketing it on the street. This is primitive and out of date. I'iiioii county far mers ought to build a big warehouse w here farmers could take their cot ton, store it, take receipts, and let the buyers go tlieie and bid against each other for it. We need lo use more brain and not so much brawn. "I am greatly encouraged in the belief that there will he a good re duction in acreage. With a full knowledge of the situation, I declare that unless we do, cotton will sell next fall for 4 or 5 cents. No doubt alxnit it. We are now at two forks of the road: one leads to prosperity and happiness, the other leads to ruin. I he cotton world has stared in amazement at what has been done since last Divcnitar. By merely a threat to organize at New Orleans, when cotton was C cents, we run it up if 10 a bale. What can we do if we stick together f There will be $273,000.(100 more in a small crop next year at 10 cents than in a large one at 3 cents. Yet the weak-kneed are getting w ared and listening to the tons of taar literature that are being bent out. It is a lie that the farmer will not kivp a solemn pledge. Two hundred thousand have signed in Texas and they will stick to their word. But never mind what your neighbor does, you re duce. If you do you'll be tatter off. for if all reduce it will be a gun) price; if not it will le low and you'll be better off for having made less. If I did not know that there was to be a reduction I would not plant a seed. "They say that as many fertilizer tags as ever have U-en sold. But this means nothing. I have had this matter carefully investigated. This year, for the lirst time, guano manu facturers are sending out gixnls on consignment; all these are tagged, but the tags w ill be redeemed when the season is over and the goods are not sold. One man, too, found five or six tags on one sack. Hold on toyourcolton. If we did make a big crop the other side has sold two crops. The time is coming when they must deliver the spots. and the spots are in our hands. It is an outrage that our cotton should be sold months and months before we make it and without saying a word to us about it We must pre vent this. We cannot do it alone. We must join with all other interests in the bouth and then it can be done. In 1S(K) the South called every man who could carry a musket to shoulder it Those who skulked are disgraced to this day and their fam ines after them. J-.verv man is again called to duty to defeat this int ler- ablo system that is rubbing the South. 1n the first Tuesday in May there win be a rally in erery jurish or district in the South to report on acreage. That will be the final meet ing. We will then have the facts. ( If this meeting, followed by the gov ernment report on June 3rd. shows good reduction we will be well, if not disaster "ill foil w. Prior to the speaking, a business session of the I'nion county associa tion wa held. In view of the re ports that farmers would not keep their pledges, l'resident Broom called on a number of fanners to say how it was in their own neigh horhoods. The following replies were made: Thoa.

The Supreme Court last erk con firmed the ronstitutionalitv of the I'nkm count? liquor law of 19D3. in which the pesii n of more than a quart of liquur is made prima facie evidence of keeping it for sale. The case was ainst Sampson IWrelt and was carried up on a; eul by his lawyers, Messrs. Kedwine i Statk. The case before tlie Supreme Court attracted some attention, and aroused me adverse criticism on its allegi d severitr. But the law is set in its real light in the following extract from the Raleigh letter to the Char lotte News: "ilr. T. J. JenMiie, who is here from I'nion countr. savs the people there iare wry mrll satisfied with the spe cial law they have making the posses sion of more than s quart of liquor prima facie evidtice of keeping it for sale, that bciiii; a crime as well is the actual selling. He says that in order to prom-ute on this basis it is necessary for some reputable citi len to go before a magistrate and make arhuait that he has amide rea son to believe that a nan is keeping' liquor for sale, and on the strength of this the man is sited to show that he is not guilty and must go on the stand, lie has not heard of an in stance w hi-re any citizen has suffered a hardship from the oeratkn of the law."
