St~rbling, Pendleton, S. C. Stub 4 There Is Running In It.. If we farners don't run the spe0n lator out he will keep on rinning the farner in the hole. If cotton farmers don't. come to gotber anil agree upon terms as to how nuch we are willing to pay for hand ling our cotton until it, is distributed among consmers of cotton, theni the Same old gang of speeulitors will con tinue to do this job for us and name I their own price for it, and 0oll0et just about all they may want for this -job. Who Is to Blamo For It? It' fiarlmers do not come t-ogether in the ,'armers' organizaion and try to protect their own interest, in their own way, then it is clear that all that class of t'arm1ers that refuse to organ ize is the real obstaoles in the way of building up a strong combination of farmers with sullieivit strength - to down anly and all eombinat ions a,gaist our oumon interest s a tar if yout have joined in with the Far melrs' Union and done your hest to uphold our conion interest in ob taining profitable prices for our pro duets, then you will feel good over this matter whether you have done all we wish to do or not, for there is great Comfort inl knowing that you have done your duty. That Chinese Boycott Hammer. The cotton hear element is now oil-i culating the news that all American spinners. that supply the leavy cot ton goods trade to China, are now a turning their attention to finer goods, 7 and, ill conlsequenlce ot' this, are using only about half the amount of cotton they formerly used in this Chinese i trade. Consimers and specnlators are c ising- this Iaet to h1amm11er down prices when, in reality, it liakes little or no differenee whether England or 1 America makes the eloth Ior the Chi nese trade; in either ease American cotton will have to be considered in this thing just the same. Really, we' wanlt somlle of our smart eot toll men to tell us the dityerence about who makes the cotton goods if our Ameri can cotton has to be considered in the supply of the raw inaterial for this Chinese shirt. Now, if these cotton bears will show us that these China men are to reduce the length of their shirts or go withont kilonas, thenl there might he Solle logical reason for c producers to becoie alarmed, hut so long 11A Chlinese habies and others are born naked this American eotton will have to he considered as coNstituiing about eight -tenths of the raw material that goes into their clothing, and we are in donht as to whether it makes very much(l ditferenc.e as to wvho makes the cloth,i D r.

These letters otf Dr. Mason and Mr.I Blrabhamt are right along in the pro gressive path that leads to a system of diversiflcation of crops anld thet iml provement of our lands that we must pract ice in ordor to fort ify' our posi tions as farmiers to protect our inter est, which rest largely in profitable prices for our cotton: Mr. J1.
