On account of the abolition of ucket shons by law in several of ;he cotton States, four New York ;otton exchanges have recently busted and another large cotton 3xehange that did a business, of .38,000 in 1905 per month, did a business of only $5,000 per ,h in 1900. , ; Now, we we want,.4very county in South Caroli hto call a mNeting et once of fafiners and others and demand tbt our present Legisla. ture attolish both the lien law and cotton exchange in this State. hotlt these are in league together to re"b the South of her profits in her cotton crops. ' w " CORPORATION WON OUT. ' In early fall mys4lf and other long staple cotton growers tried the mills and buyers to sell our cotton, but could not get our prices tlntil after th' long staple cotton growers of South Georgia and South Carolina and others got to.. gether and agreed to hold until fair prices could be had. Before this meeting was held some got tired. some selling at 10 1-2 and some at 11 cents. Some of the mills in the early season claimied that tbeycould not use our cotton. but are now glad to get it at an advance of from 5 to 5 1.2c por pound. All this was the result of the strong dotermination and co operatMe with the long etaple cot.. ton gowers. This gain of $25 per bale brought about by intelligent co-operation by the growers should point out a precedent to guide other cotton growers, who could easily h ve got ten 12o per pound for all good middling cotton this year just as easy as thb long staple growers got their prices. We are feeling good Dver the success of our long staple :ottoe growers. The lien law is an arm of the New York Cotton Exchange and in urn the New York CottonEr. change holds the mortgaged cotton I ~armer ie leash, as the hunter holds*. is hounds..

Southern farmers. The armers produce the cotton, and efore it was harvested the niort. 4 iage that rested upon it, from N h& time th e seed went into the round, was hurrying it on to the I iritishers who furnished the I noney for its production."
