No matter who is right or who is wrong in their quarrels among the oflioers of tho Cotton Association and tho Farmers' Union, we are to have ll cents, or more, <>i there is no trade for sure. < About how mauy aeren of cotton have you seen this year that won't pay for the guano used at 10 oents for cotton ?

C. of seven he is a little sneaking, sly rascal that knows well how to do such jobs up to the interest of cot ton bears. Present prices-10 cents for cot ton-are justified by government re ports; this basis of government re ports would oall for over ll ?entn for cotton. Ten cents is big room for speculators. Did you ever see a teacher send a boy out for a switch to whip himself with that he did not bring back a sorry switch? If he did not brim; back a poor switoh you may as well write it down that that boy was a fool. But still, we now and then hear of inorohante giving in bearish reports to cotton buyer? who he must surely know will usc this club to hammer down prices to the ruin of his own oustomers to whom ho expects to sell their accounts whether prices aro profitable or not to his customers. The whole truth about the crops is tho very thing that these shrudo cotton manipulators don't want they report a large lot of farmers that are making as .mich or moro cotton this year than thoyMid last, but they stop right there and don't enquire for the facts in tho oaso. Tho largo majority of these men have increased their own crops of ootton by planting lands that wore cultivated last year by tenants or others, while their whole farms will not ?verage muoh above last year's crop. Brethren, be of good oheer. The darkest hours of the night aro said to be just beforo day. We have good news coming to oheer you up that oan only be given you under doors. Many theories have beon advanced as to what would bo the best plans of getting your ootton direotly to the spinner npon the oheapest plans. But soorcr or later many of theso have been shown to be theories only and have offered no practical solu tions of tho problem of direct trades with ths spinners of our cotton. All along we have been bamboozled into tho belief that it was absolutely necessary to havf?a tremendous capi tal put up for this business. But after a olose study of this business, including personal investigation by some of our best business men, we are convinced that every bale of cot ton carries within itself suffioient currency or capital to deliver it to the spinner anywhere upon the face of the earth. All this bluff and blow about it being necessary to create a large I oapital-like cotton speculators have to do-before cotton growers oan J have a direct channel of trade with the spinners of the world is a fallacy. CIoso investigation of the cotton trade, as carried on by many, will reveal thr fact, that piu?uccrs of cot ton have all along furnished the capital in thc way of cotton margins suffioient to conduct the busiuess. Don't talk any more about thc producers of cotton having to have more money tlyin he already has in bis own cotton bales in order to gc into direct deals with spinners. A way is now being opened up tc tho Farmers' Union for direct trade with the spinners that is beyond doubt- tho most practical and cheap est plan over offered and is abso lutely safe to all parties.
