What About the "Farmers' Cottoii Union." IXyou do not belong to "Gideon's Band" and wish to know all about tbe Farmers' Cotton Union" Just slip your dollar In tbe lot at tbe Farmers' Union door and walk rigbt in among yonr best neighbors wbere yon can "watch the cat jump," and if be > - don't Jnmp to smt you, you can have a chance at making things move to suit. Between tbe prices of 9c. and lie. for cotton there >8 a good suit of clothing lor tbe boy or complete rigging for a girl, or a cooking stove lor the wife, or a salt of bedroom fnrnltnre V ior one room on every bale of cotton. Who h8B done tbe most to save this profit for tbe faltbfnl if it wan not done by tbe Farmers' Union? Tbe Anderson Dally Mall sizes tbe thing ? np so: "Tbe English fcplnners are coming ^ - over here to show the cotton growers bow to f row cotton and tbe cotton growers are go ng to Kbow tbe English spinners how to prioe it" That is a bright spark from a live wire. ;. Something Ken Down Sontb In DixieAll of a atidden, since tbe Farmers' Union ! have began to name their prices for their ootlon, cotton buyers are talking a heap about it taklngtwo to make a trade. Mow ibis ) a brand new idea with cotton buyers who have for lo these many years been naming tbe price* and oolton growers wereiorced to take their price. Tbenlttookbut one to make the trade. Bat now tbe Farmers' Union propote to do their part of tbe prlrlog of their own goods and Bee to It that cotton buyers take their tarn at tbe taking at tbe produoers prices. \ Why is it that It takes seventy-five thousand dollars to Join ibe New York Coilon Kxobange and on ly one dollar to Join tbe Farmers' Cotton Union? Yon Just drop your dollar in tbe lot at tbe "Fanners' Cotton Union" door then yon can get a good ides adorn It aod incidentally learn wby It costs so mocb to Join in the game of tbe cotton exchanges. Some of tbe boys aronnd tbe Farmers' Union Bureau may not boe and plough cotton now, or make as much ol it'as some Others oo, bnt we are light np sbctilder to shoulder with tbe boys tbat do mske tbe stair all oVer tbe land ol cotton. i-" Oar "Farmers Cotton Union" may not be so well np in cotton gambling as cotton ex cumogei are ;uut iuo nriuura tuwu vuiuu sure do know bow to dodge the mod bole*, toll gate* and go tbe straight road to market tbelr cotton. / ' Ever see two boys see-sawing on a plank pivoted In tbe crack of a fence? Watob them when one end get* too heavy to balance just right, tbe otber fellow drops back on tbe neavy end, Lben things rock along smooth caln. These boys know more about tbelr game tban lb) cotton grower* do that keep rlgbt on piling tbe cotton on tbe heavy end of tbe cotton market and tben aet back and go to 1 bowling abont oolton e prloea not going np. Moral: When tb selling end ot tbe oolton market gets too heavy Just slide tbe cotton In tbe warehouse* or back home until tbe tblng balance* np again. Talk about Capital What I* tbe capital behind all our IndtUr trie*? What tort of collatteral do tbey pnt op that 1* different or safer bases for curiency than the farmer can ofler? What ptodoou ol all the combined Industrie* of tbe whole Bon thern 8tate* that can begin to compare wltb the annual average aales of the farmer* cotton, wbleb goea beyond five hundred million dollar* every year to say nothing about bl* otber crop*? Mo to tne coTeroment census renorts and yon will see that the aggregated capital and wealth of all oar manalacturlng Industries of the Booth does not amount to ooc-fltib that Invested In farm lands and farm equipments. la It not nil then In any man to say that that the ''Farmer* Cotton Union" posalblltlee which haa behind It all of this vast array of business men and capital cannot suoceedT Cotton growers, 70a hate created the wealth-producing staple that baa made vast fortunes 'for others; now will yon oome forward and claim yonr share of the profit*? >' - There la bnt one way to do it?organize, organlzetben belp yourselves. Pror king Gall. Upon. every occasion organized farmers ' . are met with tbe argument from theft opponents something like this: "Farmers nave neitber the neeeacary amount of organised capital or enough experienced men to ever control tbe oouon market." Now lets look Into tbla matter a little and see who It Is now managing tbe chief enterprises In and around the city of Anderson, 8. C., for example; perhaps tbe most prosperous county and town In tbe btate. Go with as to the Dttui oi acr ten jarge oouon mu is ana you will find nine of these mill presidents to be termers' sons. Go to tbe five backs sod every mothers' son of their presidents and tbe large number of tbelr cashier* and dlrecty tors are farmers' sons. Tbe publishers and editors of ber tbree newspapers at last account were all farmers sons. A similar Investigation In about all tbe < : Important towns In tbe ootton States, we are V, tola, would sbow a slmllai propotion of ' farmers' sons. Our "Farmers' Cotton Union" propose to do some of tbls bll-lng ot our formers' sons to belp retain a reasonable share of tbe profits on farm products to tbe men who farm. Notice.
