.' s. THE MORNING POST. WEDNESDAYr OOTOBBB, II, IQOg n AN SULLY SAYS HOLD COTTON 9 Planters Do This Will Get 11 to 14 Cents AN. ADDRESS IN RALEIGH .The Cotton Manipulator Heard by 600 Fanners Representing Eleven or More Counties Speaks J at Goldsboro Today Thence Into South. Carolina Mr. Daniel -J. Sully, the famous cot ton manipulator of New York, was greeted by a splendid audience ' of farmers In Metropolitan Hall yester fay when he delivered a brief but tell ing address on the subject of "Cot ton and the Future of Cotton Culture." It was a representative audience, too, there being at least eleven counties represented. These were Wake, John ston, Franklin, Durham, Chatham, Granville, Moore, -Harnett, Wilson, and Mecklenburg. The address by Mr. Sully was en thusiastically received. Especially were there demonstrations when he declared that he thought when he left New York for the south that the cot ton planters needed a few words from him on the importance of holding the crop for good prices, but that from what ho has observed since, getting Into the south they are already doing their part nobly. "And again when he declared that the moneyed men of Wall street and the cotton milling interests of the south were with the planters and the bankers and merchants in a desire for high priced cotton and if the present lick was kept up a few more ' weeks 11, 12, 12 and 14 cents would be readily obtained. Mri Sully was Introduced to the au dience by Mr. T P. Parker, secretary of the State Farmers' Alliance and of the North Carolina division of the Fouthern Cotton Growers' Association." Mr. Parker reviewed strikingly the career of Mr. Sully on the cotton ex change and the value he has been to the farmers in getting profitable prices for their cotton. He said that it was only a few years ago that Mr. Sully continue to live oft of the hard toil of the southern farmers. I believe, though, that the south is now again on its feet and there will be no more cheap cotton. Only hold your cotton for ten cents now, and it will not be long before you will get eleven and twelve cents. I am convinoed of this, because all the spinners of (Europe and many in this country have sold the out put of their mills as far ahead as 1907 on the basis of 12-cent cotton. You don't need my voice to induce you to hold your cotton. This is proven by the market here the past few days, as 1 have observed it three bales sold yesterday and six the day before! "There was a break in the price of cotton last week, caused by that cot ton report showing 71.02, whatever that means. The south has already lost $54,000,000 because of that bureau re port. The world will soon realize that you have no 12,000,000-bale crop. Even if you had 13,000,000 bales the mills of the world today would pay you 12 cents for that very cotton. If the crop is what I believe it is, there will not be ten and a quarter million bales. If not, then you will get not 10 cents, but 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 cents a pound for all of it. As far as the interest of Wall street men is ; concerned, there never was a time in the history of cot ton when the moneyed men of Wall street didn't want high prices for cot ton. They are not bears against you. If you. will watch for it, and if you will make up your mind to hold your pro duct, you will see 11 cents, 12 cents and then after that 13 cents. Remem ber, you have pitted against you the interests of the entire spinning world especially Europe. If the price of cotton between now and the fall goes below 9 cents you can never again hope to see it at 10 cents. "One remarkable thing is that there is no section of the world where the spinners are increasing so rapidly as in the south. But they have the odds against them by reason of the cheaper labor and freight rates enjoyed by the European spinners. Their subsidized ships bring the cotton to them from the south at very low rates and thei convey the manufactured cloth to th-. countries where it Is consumed a; rates far lower than Americans can get. Europe is alarmed now lest the south, at the rate spinners are increasin, here, will use 80 per cent, of the cot ton she produces. She uses a good deal more than 40 per cent, of it now. It is to the interest of the southern spin ners, and the southern planters as well, that the prices should be held up. Be assured that as soon as it is known cotton - throughout the world that you are not going to turn loose your cotton for a song they will pay you your price for it. The bankers of the south will stand by you in- this, and will aid you who are cotton growers, and when the spinners find that you are not going to market your crop you farm ers can command your own price. 1 do not care what the bears do; that does not matter. They cannot run down the price; the more they try to run it down, the higher it will go TOSSED BY A BULL Beast Attacked Mrs. Weddon on the Street V Several Negroes Managed to Escape With Minor Bruises Infuriated Bull Finally Shot Near Pace's Store on N. Person Street READ ALL THIS An Infuriated bull tore down north Person street yesterday morning, pitched Mrs. Ella Weddon of Norfolk into the air, painfully bruising her, at tacked two men, who narrowly escaped, made for a negro woman, and was finally shot in front of Pace's store. The buH'had been bought by Mr- Ene-enft "Richardson, who has a beef stall in the market, and was being brought here from Franklinton, a dis tance of twenty-seven miles, by the two negroes. Some of the observers thought that the negroes were maltreating the animal when they entered the city. Anyway the bull became furious, tried to attack his keepers, broke tne rope and, with head lowered and tail raised, lunged down the street. The children were pouring into the Murphy graded school at that hour, shortly before 9 o'clock, and they scampered in every direction. Man? of them were terribly frightened. i The bull made straight for Mrs. Wed don, who happened to be passing. Mrs. Weddon was caught on the animal's horns and tossed several feeti falling on her face. A negro who was driving Vinson's delivery wagon was among those who ran to her assistance and he .,-as knocked down by the bull. An other negro man had a narrow eseape md received a few bruises. ... By this ame the bull had turned north and xttacked a negro woman, but she man aged to elude him. The' beast was so perfectly infuriated that it was impos sible to capture him, and the timely arrival of a negro youth with a gun put an end to the animal's rampage. He was shot on north Person street near Pace's store. Mrs. Weddon was taken into the Mur phy school and later removed to the home of Policeman T. B. (Alderson, where she is visiting. Her face was cut 2nd one hand hurt by her fall, and she was painfully bruised, besides suf fering from the nervous shock.
