What Will Cotton Farmers DoT
The cotton farmers haw mailt;
thi'ir crop this year ul a heavier vx
lien.se than ever lefoiv. Tin- Niyh
price of food stutr and of meat,
which has helped the Western far
mers, has increased the cost of liv
ing to the Southern fanners who
buy their flour and much of their
meal; the cost of mules h;is l.eeii
twice as liili as when eollon was last
at ten and eleven cents; labor has
been higher because of the iui ' ta
ed e -t of livin.r, must of the sup
port of laborer.-, yni iiuiviiiiswi
from stores; and therefore ii' tin
Southern farmers are lurceil In sell
their cotton- at tii- prevail inr low
price they will be compelled to ie
away the product of their whole
year's labor wilhouL pruhl.
What should Southern farmcis di"
That is a momentous question. This
paper has printed in full the i solu
tions of the various farmer-;' organ
izations, the advice of lea liiur farm
journals, and below it prints a ; ate
nient written to tbe Wilmington
Star by hit. A.J. ("Sindv") M Kin
non, a leadiiiK farmer and a rntm of
affairs in Robeson county, who was
vice-president of the Cotton Gin
ners' Association when that oriratii
zation was actively at work to ro-
Vt IIIL 00 '! 111 VVLLVII l.ll-
mers. lie write.-:
"Cotton is se'liiiB for less th:.n ':('
cents. The danpr line has been
crossed; time for action is here.
"livery Southern interest is now
endangered from bankers, mer
chants and manufacturers on
throiiKh every calling, profession
or trade.
"Vyhy? Because we all know that
cotton is the South'agrei&e.st vveahl,
producer. On the price of this ar
ticle we depend tor our increase
wealth, prosperity and proirro.s or
our poverty, loss and decline.
"We are now called upon to st
the thing on which our prospeiity
depends for less than it cost to make
it. To do that means disaster not
to part but to every interest in tl.e
cotton producing States
"Hsn't the danger line been reach
ed? Isn t it time for action? Can
we prevent this disaster? I think so
Tf ... fl,l tv, t iu:r, ,.,.
XL vvc van iiuvt nic i-ciunc lui lino III:
pressidn, we can remedy it.
"If too much cotton is causing thi
cotton and more of other farm pvc
ducts, wheat, corn, hay, oats, pota
toes, tobacco and melons, all of
' which offer better returns than cot
ton at present prices. This is the
farmers' part and for fear we might
have a few bales more than actually
needed the farmers better begin at
onca to 'plan t plant less cotton next
vpnr nndl more if t.tirtRO nfl-inf hirrh-
- - ...
priced necessities. This would cer
tainly remove that cause. . .r A-
If we haven t too much, cotton
and there is a combination On the
part of Europe and other cotton
spinning parts of the world to stand
off and refuse to buy- their-supplies
while the bulk of the crop ia being
harvested and should he marketed,
that cause can be removed or met
only by a combination of merchants,
farmers and bankers, (combining
their resources" and taking care of
the cotton antil the spinners are
ready to take it at a price that will
bring-fair profits to theJSouth.- That
man doesn't live to-day that can tell
what the site of this crop will be.
It may be affected a 'million or more
bales by frost or stormsVif a large
crop; muh , depends on weather,
whfther It can be harvested or not.
If everything U favorable anilwe do
make and harvest a crop fully equal
to the world's needs, we can plant
less acres In cotton and moro In
other paying crops next year and re
move the danger of a surplus. Then
in the name of common sense and
reason, why Impoverish the whp
cotton producing world by selling
our cotton now at less than it cost
us to make it?
"I repeat that it is lime for action
I would suggest that the Governors
of each cotton producing Stato issue
his proclamation calling on all the
people to unite their efforts and re
sources for the purpose of prevent
ing the sale of this crop or any par
of it at less than it cost to produce it
And if the Governors think win?
I would further suggest that they
call a mass meeting of all the inter.
ests in their respective States for
the purpose of jcrfectiiig plans that
would guard against repetition of
present conditions."
Mr. McKinnon is a successful
planter and business man who
made money by industry and wis
dom. Any suggestion oman.it ng
from Mr. AicKimmri is worthy of
serious consideration. In bis own
affairs he Ivs won tho largest mea
sure of success, and h'w views are i t;-
tiihfd therefore to th" hi- lie;!

IT COSTS MONEY NOT
TO BE WELL DRESSED.
Careless dress has cost many a man more than neat dothes
would have cost him. The cost has keen in Jest opportunity.
No one expects a man to "spruce up to go fishing hut
on the same principle no one has muo respect for the man who
always looks as tho he was "going fishing.
To appear veil dressed Is more a matter of personal
pride than pocketbook pride. 1
