ThiB means a evy large reduction in the number of ales next Fail. - ?rn ? 1 - About ail the cotton farmers have to o in order to control the cotton mar i?t is to control themselves. We don't need more money, more jen or better businessmen in the cot on States in order to manage the cot on business. About all you need is to ;ot together and use what you Already lave in band, like business men should io, and the power you have will as onish the cotton farmers as well as he balance of the world. Why is it that we find so many touthern men engaged in the cotton vado on Wall Street, Kew York? ls C not because these Southern men rom the field know more about the onditions of things in the South and novo about how to control the cotton armers than foreigners dot Well, then,why not come together at tome and UGO our own business men md talents, and our peculiar natural idvanta^es for our own benefit instead ii allowing foreigners to reap j the troiito from our fortunate natural rifts in the way of tho ideal cotton telt of tho world? Twenty men may stand about the mg talking about the bad plight of he cow in the mire to no good-but bree men may unite and pull together md out comes the cow on firm ground, farmers, walk right in the Union and nico hold, stop talking and pull to gether.* , -. m~o i - i i - Cotton Warehouse or the Poorhouse Which Do You Prefer? For many years cotton producers lave been producing money makiog :otton crops, but in placing the cotton ttMffi the market all others in the cot rim business have become richs while the Southern cotton producers, as a rule, have remained poor. There is but the one course for this, rod here it is: Most any common elod ttoprer can produce a good crop of cot ton, hut it takes a different kind of work to place this cotton on the mar ket vo as to retain the profits in the banda of the producers, where it justly belongs. - MGF.'J any common cotton farmer can, single-handed, independently and alone prod nco a profitable crop of cot ton,but it taara the combined efforts Df many thousand cot ton producers to keep th? old crowd of cutten specula tors from reaping all the profits. ? These specalators have applied a code bf business rales and methods or system in handling your cotton crops that producers have failed to do for themselves. These men have supplied the cotton warehouses and the- bnsi DOBO organizations for the parp?se of distributing yonr cotton among cotton ui5w?fsstsrcs snd -hive, sa might be expected, reaped their profits in mon ey while the producers of cotton have stood aloof from concert of action and took their profits ont in pram bli og and cursing the speculators. The Remedy. There is bat one. remedy for this eviir and that is ibu cotton producers mast ?apply tho facilities for handling their; own crops, until tho cotton is placed into the hands of consumers at a reason able profit to the prod nc er a, or the cotton . farmer will remain in hie present hazardous position. and pat your cotton in balk,' and then Elace your best men in charge nf your usin?es or the speculator will contin ue todo this thing for youl Yon cot ton growers mast build year own warehouses to protect your bnsi ness or the same old Crowd will, continue to do this tor yon, and continue to levy a tariff for this job to Snit *heir idea about this work and not to suit your l?t?W&Sii \ Y--:.- i--.-..-. i ? ?'. r armers, preparo ?or war ia time of peace, t? overa I warehouses are now on tho way, not yet. completed. Seme farmers claim that they approve of the warehouse plans, but thoy can't rate? tho money for the stock; well, now, I deny thia. In roany cases thia is not toge.': We kn ow goba and well that if some would try; they could get np thia wareboute\ stock Jost os well aa thny ffnt np otb?r t-biogs that ere not ao important. ? . . . Finally, wo wish to say to all .Te calamity howlers and fault-finder* that y ou cannot build warehouses with roar to??ues, it takes tho casa! And inother'thing, too, that if yoa will not try to help yourselves when tho way irt open for you to doit, do for the sake if common good of the country, and atners\or?no??helpi^ will not trv to heip yourselves.
