T. H. Garrett of the Odds community is a firm believer in holding cotton and is
amply able to do it. Said he: "I sold 145 bales one year for less
than 5 cents per pound, some of it as low as 3.90, and I am still living and
doing well. I am in no hurry to sell my cotton and am in full sympathy
with the union in the demand for 15 cents, though I am not a member and may
never be. If it should turn out that I have to sell for less than present
prices or the price I want, why I can live over it."
