Vice-Pres.
JAMES W. KNOX,
President.
daily reports are to the effect that
the so-called bear 'is having it his
own way, and tumble, tumble goes
the market, to the great detriment
of the people of the South.
The market manipulations have beei
going on for years without creating
much alarm, in fact, the people have
never investigated it as they should,
The farmers’ price of 15 cents is
fixed upon the principle of shortage of
cotton and the great demand for cotton
goods justifies the price the spinner can
buy it for and still make handsome
profits.
The supreme moment has come, the
test is now to be made. Will the gam-
blers’ fluctuating price be taken, or
will the price fixed by the farmers pre-
vail? The farmer must stand by the
minimum price. The merchants and
banks are co-operating with us; the
world is sympathizing; we must win.
Each State is in line, each is in the
fight. A million and a half strong,
with warehouses built all over the
South and facilities arranged to carry
millions of bales of cotton.
Texas has her great central ware-
house located at Houston, with ex-
President E. A. Calvin as manager.
This warehouse is prepared to handle all
the cotton shipped to it. Brother Cal-
vin is prepared to make loans on all
cotton shipped to him and at a low rate
of interest. The union is earnestly
urged to give the central warehouse all
the patronage they, can.

The condition of the so-called cot-

serious one to the cotton raisers of
