I presume the hill is intended to confiscate your property or drive you out of the State. ' Your machinery compresses the cotton in a a smaller and netter package than the present compresses. You are in the field now offering to save the cotton growers fully #1.00 per halo hy reason of compressing the cotton at the gin nn.l 4 Ka A.. ..f I | auu liiu III^; ui UI1U i ties, yardage, etc. "No doubt it is the intention of the Legislature to protect the present compresses from your iniquitous competition, and as a compress man I want them to do it. "As a farmer, however, 1 ho|>e you will not be driven out; I want to continue to sell \ou my cotton at al?out $1.00 per bale more than if put up in square bales. Yours truly, (Signed) J Adoue.
