Doubtless the Hon. Steve Elkins

Evidently Cnattauooga was jeal

The Smoot case in the Seuate

Nothing that Gov. Cummins
may feel like saying about Steve

It's a safe bet that if the Com

If the farmers of the County
would take the name interest in the
County paper as Mr. S. K.

■hows that he is a thorough student
of the cotton situation. Read it and

sense of it.
WAS IT A DREAH?
i) ...
The ways of the Chinese are
considered peculiar, bin centuries
ago they had what we, after delib
eration, said we were going to
have —an artesiau well.
We do not thiuk our people got
together and discussed the ques
tion ot good water in vain and we
trust it will be forthcoming now,
as this is the finest weather we
have had and there is no excuse
for further delay.
Public health is above all things
else that we have to deal with,
hence we, like our sister towns, are
going to bore an artesiau well.
Windsor, Plymouth and Scot
laud Neck recognized the fact that
"'the safety of the | eople is the
suprune law" and bored artesian
wells even though at greater cost
in the first case than was first
thought.
Artesian wells are not new things
and they are not native to any
special soil, though iu some sec
tions of the world very deep boring
is not so necessary as in other sec
tions. Many wells have been
driven to a great depth, the diam
eters- varying from three to six
inches.
The well in Plymouth is about
two hundred feet deep and the
water flows copiously. The well
iu Windsor is some deeper than
this but it does not flow like a
fountain.
We want to set one on our streets
iu a few months that will gusli
like a "sho' 'null" artesian well.
Don't speak of the impossibility of
a well. If one can be liored in the
Sahara Desert certainly we can
bore >ne here. Of course they are
more gushing in the rocky sec
tions. but the water is much purer
and more healthful than the sur
face water, even where they do
not gush.
The New International Cyclope
lia says that the cost of. a well is
I'roin two to three dollars a foot f>-
■me thousand feet and fifty cents
{renter a foot for .each -additional
five hundred feet.
We want to see this good work
legin right away. We ought It)
lave healthful water—the crystal

Much as has been said relative
to the cotton situation of to day.
yet I lielieve there is room, and
really necessary, tor something
more; especially so if it be said by
some one of confidence, merit and
influence.
But as our most worthy men are
manifesting no great concern as to
the present outlook, I am con
strained, incompetent as I am, to
call attention to a few facts per
taining to the present situation and
to speak of a few of the sad expe
riences of bygone vears, while
(Minting, though feebly, to some
bright prospects ahead -of the cot
ton growers, provided they use
prudence and sound sense in the
growing and marketing of their
proefnet.
It is admitted that the crop of
1905 to 1906 does not and cannot
exceed 10,250,000 baits of cotton,
75 |>er cent, of which had come
into sight up the February 1,
1906, leaving a balance of only
about two and one half million
bales to come forward between
February 1 and September 1, 1906,
with a surplus from the crop of
1904 to 19*15 of about 1,>30,000
bales and a small movement ol
prob ibly 300,000 bales for August
ginning of tlif next crop, making
a tot 11 supply of American cotton
to come into sight and be taken by
the spinners of - about 4,500,000
bales.
It is shown' by statistics that if
spinners continue their monthly
takings until next September as
they have since last September they
would require 7,980,000 bales to
meet their wants.
Now, there are just two proposi
tions to meet and oomply with in
order to bring a remunerative and
stable price for cotton, and these
are, first, to hold the small balance]
of spot cotton; second, plant mod
erately of the fleecy staple in the
lutuie, producing abundant food
supply crop to enable producer to
live at home and put his cotton
Upon the market slowly and regu
larly, as the spinners need it. But
to do this we must have organiza
tion of the farmers; there must l>e
unity of action amorg the pro
ducers; each and every cotton grow
er must know what others are do
ing and act accordingly.
Great is the contest that th"
Southern cotton growers have be
gun and noble will lie the victory
if they fight as one man. It .is
sat I that he who conquers himself
is the greatest of victors.
Now let each cotton planter sub
due his disposition to plant a big
crop under tlie delusion that lie
will get more fot it. Does not the
farmer know that a small crop
brings more money than a large
one? Why produce a fourteen
million bale crop when we know
that of that crop it takes four bales
to bring one hundred dollars, while
of a ten million crop, two bales will
bring an equal sum ? I.et us stand
by the Southern Cotton Growers
Association, oliey its mandates,
profit by its precepts, and follow
its example—plant, less cotton,
more corn and other food crops
and show to the world that we
have the moral courage and souud
of Southern manhood.
It is a well known fact that the
Southern States have a "God given
monopoly" of the cotton culture of
the world, and it should be as well
known that the producer could
easily control tile production and
marketing of bis cotton, not by
any individual or independent ac
lion, but by a united and concen
trated effort the farmers of the
South could easily regulate the
production n«d lix the price of
their staple. ~
Wc should u e or entertain the
term "monopoly" only in the sense
that we have it on cotton raising,
by divine heritage, and should not
abuse or misuse so great a bless
ing. Neither should we allow a
monojioly either in production or
market of this great staple.
Brother farmer, do you not know
that during the season of 19*13 and
1904 the spinners and 'speculatois
told ns to raise all the cotton we
could aud the world would, take it
good prices, and when they learn
ed that we had made a "bumper"
crop tliey offered is only 6 cents a
pound for our cotton.
Now these same spinners and
speculators are engaging future
cotton at 10 cents, thereby induc
ing growers to produce another big
crop. But of whom are they en
gaging as a rule except the big
farmer, and that the because they
believe or hoj>e that such price will
prevail next season, hut actually
leading the large producers into a
monopoly iu the sale of the next
crop, their only wish or desire be
ing to bring cotton below that price
which would give big farmers who
engaged to help them out the en
tire advantage over the small pro
ducers in case they succeed in in
ducing the growers to raise anoth
er "bumper" crop.
