Moceley Predicts Eisfht Cents in
Ninety Days.
Lexington, O. T. Sept. 22, 199.
Mk. Editok:—At your request
I will say a word or two on the
eotton situation. That cotton
will bring' a better price in the
near future and a much better
price iu the course of 60 to 90
<la3's, is almost the universal
opinion of the cotten men of the
southern states. For the first
time since the war the banks of
the south have money enough to
carry the cotton crop without
outside help. The farmers of the
cotton states are meeting in state
convention and passing resolu
tions that they will accept th
offers made them by the banker:
to advance money on the crop for
the purpose to enable them to
hold the same until the great
shortage in the present crop i
clearly demonstrated by receipts
to the doubting Thomases. In
1896 cotton opened at the pric
of 5# cents and advanced to 8'A
cents in a month. The condition
of the crop is worse now than
then, and, in fact, according to
the government report, which is
to be found iu the market report
of this issue, the condition was
worse on the first of September
that at any time within the last
twenty-live years. I have been
buying cotton since 1876, and this
is the lirst time in my experience
than men have sold in their first
and last bale. At the same time
during the last week I have
bought of three parties who have
sold their lirst and last bale ti
me.
The bank of Lexington and the
banks of the country stand ready
to advance enough money to meet
the immediate needs of the farm r
at a low rate of interest and i.
they fail to avail themselves
thereof, I think they will be
standing greatly in their own
light. Bv holding 90 days I am
of the opinion that $10.00 a bale
will be realized thereby.
The merchants will not be able
to hold it. There will be one
here and one there that will hold
100 or 200 bales. But the bulk
of cotton if it isgoing tobe held at
all must be held by the farmers
themselves. If the farmers turn
loose now, a few men at the sea-
ports will reap the benefit of the
advance, and this country will
not be benefited; but if the far-
mers will hold we will all see
better times in the future.
"Hold your cotton," should b2

While this dramatic turn in the
Dreyfus drama was taking place,
all Rennes slept and the depart-
ure of the famous prisoner ol
Devil's Island was no more
noticed than that of an ordinary
traveler.

from former Captain Dreyfus:

BRIDGE NEARIXG COMPLETION.
The structure across the Cana-
dian is fast taking on the ap-
pearance of a bridge. It is al-
most half way across the sands
now. The slow and tedious work
is done and every day's work is
adding matnrially to the struct-
ure About fifty men are at work.
The toll charges will most
likely be about as in the prospec-
tive toll rale published in the
Leader.a few weeks since. The
effect the bridge will have upon
business will be very noticeable.
We will get much more trade
from Noble vicinity. The Noble
bridge will die a hard, spasmodic
death as it should. People will
come to a bridge that they can
cross at reasonable toll and not
be "cussed to death" while in the
act. The bridge will be done by
October 15.
