The Producer nod ihe Spinner of
Cotton.
Can the growers sell direct to the
mills?
We might answer this at once by
nsb log another question, viz: Do the
mills boi tract fur all their coal through
the coal npeculatois, or do the mills
deal directly with the producers of
coal?
hiitr thfilp fnal frnm fhfi
II IUO tUIIJO U?J VUVI ft IUV* i ft VU4
mines it goes without saying that if
cotton growers will bulk tbeir cotton,
and put themselves in the same position
as the business mine owners do,
the millB will then come to tbe cotton
producers without auy asking!
As tbe situation now etandB tbe mill
men cannot deal directly with the farmer,
for the simple reason that the farmer
is not in shape in his unorganized
state to get bis cotton in sufficient
bulk to enable even one of our local
mills to contract for his season's supply
of cotton direct with tbe farmer.
No one can sell 100 bales unless he has
100 bales! Therefore, our local mills,
as well as others, are compelled to
either contract with the cotton speculator
for their cotton or hire a lot of
men to go out on the markets and pick
up their supply in a competitive wayone
mill bidding against tbe other;"'
Good business farmers, as well as
mill men, have learned to avoid what
they call cut throat competition business,
and most mills now are forced' t->
contract with the cotton speculators
for the^r cotton.
When our local mills thus place
- ?ft., ?law
(Oeir COU U UUIB WHU IUD oprouiBLUl,
this is virtually loaning all tbls vast
capital to the cotton speculator, who in
turn uses this money power to depress
prices of cotton, and robs the local mill
man's neighbor, the cotton farmer.
Does this system of our local mills
foster community interest in the upbuilding
of the South?
Orgauized business farmers have
learned from experience - to handle
this mill conference business rather
gingerly, pomewbat after the fashion
of the ass that nubleth the thistle.
On several occasions the Farmers'
Union of Anderson has invited mill
men to a conference with them on the
subject of selling directly to the mills,
with the result that onJy one mill man
has ever appeared at these meetings.
This snub has caused the organized
farmers to drive down their no good
stake at this mill station, and look for
ward for relier with the run Knowledge
of the truth that the fault) of the
situation is not In our stare or the
mills or in anybody else except ourselves!
The up-to date organized farmer
has learned from experience that if
farmers want anything done for their
interest that the farmer is competent
to do for themselves the things they
want done, and that the farmers must
do their own work,.or it will not be
done!
Our tfay out of this dilemma is just
here. We are convinced that the only
safe plan by which cotton producers
can have absolute control of their
business is to organize at least 500 of
the best cotton counties in the seven
best ootton States, put their ootton in
the hands of one farmer in each of
these counties, and one State, agent In
each of the seven States, and the balance
of the business is easy. When
this is done it will be immaterial to
the cotton grower whether he sells to
the mills or the ootton speculator. It
is then an easy matter for this organization
to hold oontrol of at least three
million bales for their own set price
and let those who refuse to organize
remain outside as prey for the cotton
speculator. When this is done we
peed not iovite spinners to come to
the grower for his cotton, The natural
thiug for a business man to do is
to look out for his interest, which is
not, in this case, to employ a great
army of cotton manipulators to gather
in his supplies when one dlreot deal
with grocers will do it.
The trend of all the business world
is along this very progressive line, and
' the sooner the cotton growers learn
this, tha sooner will they come out of
, the muddle;,in fact, this is the very
way tbey have so successfully won out
1 ?in sentimental way?the victories of
i the last two crops. But this sentimental
business or running things by
[ fit" and starts has its days numbered,
and the working men at the head of
' such things naturally beoome tired of
working for glory, sentiment, good
water and air. Such things are good
in their'way, but they are not among
the prominent factors of the business
' world. We cannot lone continue a
thing of this kind with the passing of
. resolutions and open pledges,
We must put up our stuffin a tangible
form by plaoing our cotton abso-*

agents, and eaob and every man that
has anything to do in this matter must
be paid a stipulated prioe for bis labor,
ana be compelled to give sufficient
bond to insure safety to owners of cotton
in band.
All good farmers ought to know that
be reaps that which he sows, and naturally
a obeap man usually does oheap
work; we must employ our best men
who are oompetent to doourwork, and
then pay for that work atcurreut rates,
or we caunot bold our hands up against
the pressure of our striving business
men of today.
In our attempts at organizing farmers
we should uot be discouraged if
we do not succeed in getting all the
good farmers in each section; in fact,
in order to accomplish our work we
don't need one-fourth of tbem to get
, control of enough cotton to demand a
profitable price and get it. Our experience?in
a sentimental way?during
the last two years ought to drive it
into the minds of every farmer in the
South that all the farmer has to do in
order to get justice in an 3 thing is to
line themselves up in business-like
form and make a demand for a fair
deal, and thev will get it every time 1

and tbe men you need in this thin

Tin farmer that hasn't tbe nerve o
business sense to see through tbis 01
ganized effortyou don't need him in il
for tbe simple reason tbat a nature
born fool will continue to act a fool
and aucb men are not wanted in ou

plainly written out on the whole fao
of tbe earth in our Southland?fron
tbe Bio Grande to tbe James Bivers80
plainly that he that runs may reat

It ought to now be plain to ever:

Is like tbe philosopher's stone, it turni
everything into gold tbat it touches
while unprofitable prices for cottoi
dragB down every business of the Soutb
