VOLUME XXXX-NO. 40. ^ ^]-;-; ' Summer Suits I Hundreds of men have already felt the need of a quick ?hange to lighter Clothing ; and it's during the summer sea con that the better tailoring in our Suits is best illustrated. Heavy winter fabrics can be padded and lined so heayily that bad tailoring can be hidden. It's not so with the light Summer Suits, where thin worsteds and half linings prevent any snbterfage. The nnnanal can, that la given to the mak ing of our Clothing tells in the shapeliness of these? COOL SUMMER SUITS. We are showing a very harVlsome variety of Single and Bouble-Breasted SACK SUITS at? $7.50 to $22.50. ONE PRICE TO ALT,. B. 0. Evans & Co, j THE SPOT CASH CLOTHIBBS. !

Farmers' Union, Take Notice. At the lnnt County Union the ware house question and the matter of select.ng a business agent was referred back to the local Unions for their con sideration and action by the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: 1st. Do the local Unions want ware houses? If so, submit year idea of best plans how to seenre the same at our next County Union on the 12th of June next. 2o 1. Do the local Unions need the sorv oes of a county business agentf If so, be prepared at the next County Unicn on the 12th of June to recom mend some one for this important office and a system of business rules to govern the same. ?3rd. That these vital questions of warehouse plans! and selection of coun ty business agency occupy the exclu sive attention of the next County Uniou until these questions are dis posed of by the Union, v. - The foregoing resolutions sounds more like business and lineing up in a way to accomplish something for the good of the organization than any step taken up to this time, and we trnst that all local Uniona will make a manly and prompt response at the next County Union to convene on the 12th of June. DO WE NEED WAREHOUSES? Somo of the nvre independent cot ton growers, personally, may not need the aid and protection that a good bonded warehouse system offers, but in a co-operative way the warehouso system is the only plan by which we can realize something for urgent needs and keep the cotton off the market when prices are not profitable to the grower. ^ There is a large army of encumber ed cotton growers in the South who are obliged to realize something on their cotton so soon aa it is ginned, and in order to control the situation and keep these encumbered cotton growers ( who may held the balance of "power) from dumping their cotton on the mar ket when prices are not profitable, the more independent class of growers must come to the aid of the needy in order to protect his own cotton int?r ?t,*- There is a kind of community of interest in this thing. Every cotton grower, whether he makes one bale or 500 bales, is interested in each other. If the many small or encumbered growers are compelled to dump their cotton upon the market at a certain time of the year, whether prices are profitable or not, and thus overload the boat that we are all in, the man that has hundreds or thousands of bales goes down alike to the bottom along with the men who may have one Dr ?vo bales each. The independent business farmers mnst go out in a kind of missionary and business way and Co-Ops touch his less fortunate neighbors where the profits come in by co-oper ating and why is that the unorgan ized farmer is 'tut a dog lor the lleas of the organized speculators to prey upon. our business jCGENCV. We can never co-operate without concentratiug our cotton under the management of smnn sort of businees head. We must do like tho cotton speculators?we must put up our best business men to handle our cotton. Wo cannot expect men of comparative ly no experience in this cotton hand ling business to win out against the buyers who have trained meu to con duct their side of this business. Some of our beet union men have ex Eressed tho belief that it might be tbe est plan to compromise on this matter by putting two men in charge of tb<4 cotton exchange. Say we first soleut a good man well known in the business world and of good financial rating, and the other man from among the farmers who can command tbe implicit confi dence of the formers. The key to GUCC0E3 in this whole thing is confidence of the farmers. It doeo look like out of two men of this make-up we might form a nnit that could combine the farmers in a business effort that would make good and stand up against any BBd all opposition. Our habits for the last 40 years have been to allow others to price our pro ducts, and their products are priced to us by the producer. No occupation on the /ace of God's green earth except the f arm?r never could have withstood the fire of this crucial test and yet been able to have held op his head above the level of the slums of serf dom. Talk about the farmers not sticking, there never was a class of people on earth that have more faith and sticking qualities than the fanner. They have stuck to the habits of paying others their prices for all they buy and allowing others to set prices on tho products of the farm until many of them are so poor, downtrodden, ig norant and cowardly until when they do have the courage to go out among progressive people, they look and act as though they were ready to apologize to all for their appearance on earth. This is one of the kind of farmers you cannot organize. All farmers are always sticking to some plane and trusting some one to set prices on his cotton; then why not stiok to the plans of your own crafts men who are equally interested in profitable prices with you instead of trugiisg the man to price your cotton who w?l get it as low as possible! The intelligent and prosperous farmers are responsible for the bad business habits of his less fortunate neighbors. Why don't you get them to go out to see and learn how to act to save himself and all his neighbors something! Ifyoc will do this we will assure you that he will Btick to the side where his dollars lay. Evr y local nnion should have a pic nic this summer and get all the unor ganized farmers out to hear the good to be done by organization, and wind up this campaign for fairness with a big county barbecue. Every farmer should have one of Sul livan Hdvr. Co's. Adjustable Keystone Weedoro. lhese Weedera are tbe best shallow Caltlvators on earth and are great weed exterminators.
