Cotton Lettor.
Wo desire to mako it plain to all
eoncernod that whoa wo urgo farniors
to lurid their cott'on off tho market
wo arc talking1 to that elase of cotton
growers who aro in position to do so.
In the outset wo urged every farmer
to arrango his debts first, as best' as
ho could, by storing his cotton or
otherwise, and koop all the weak cotton
off tho market. But now, since
Now York has combined to refuso
monoy to our southern banks to koep
tliia weak cotton oil* the market, it
seoms that those cotton growers who
have placed themselves in such a
hazardous position of growing cotton
exclusively with which to buy their
living, even down to thoir daily
broad, aro in hard luck, and aro likely
to pay a heavy penalty for not
growing their home supplies, and
placing thoir financial destiny in tho
hands of h gang of worthless gauiblons.
Boys, como out from imdor
those robbers and grow your own supplies.
Money turived loose by tho cotton
coming on the market at this time
helps others of more grit and pluck
by making money easier to get. to
hold other cotton off tho market.
I
Seventy-four banks in (ieorgia have
made public their willingnoes to do
all i:i their power to aid fanners in
holding their cotton off the market
for profitable prices. What are our
banks in South Carolina doing in this
matter?
Tho cotton growing fanners who
have plenty of home grown farm supplies
at homo and do not have to
borrow money with which to hold
their cotton, aro increasing in numbers
and growing in both purse and
education in the business.
This move to store cotton i:i Kuropean
warehouses does not mean but
one thing, and that is to flank New!
York's money panics and save cotton I
growers from being forced to sell at j
bear prices. Soul her.i colton in Ku- i
rope is just as sate I'icre us Kuropean
money !- in New Y ik.

When tilings don * I go your way all j
the time and you conclude to <jni! Ihe !
I niou on your oiv.i account, public j
opinion generally .includes that you
are I?u* one who is wrong, or von i
Woiihl not have condemned yourself j
out of ihe union.
W hen any ot your officers ge| up to!
that high station of conducting the
1 nion s business oil such a high plane
that I hey protest against an enquiry
by members into their affairs, you
ma\ put it down that there is something
dead up the creek.
Don't get uneasy about any of your !
officers of the I'nion getting topheavy,
or fear about their heads j
growing heavier their bodies. Specific
gravity, or Ihe natural trend of
things, will tumble the head or Iieavv j
end down towards the collar, while!
his heels go up towards the ceiling. , |
One enemy within the Union can be
more haruitul than ten enemies on
.the outside.
Because some officer has not done '
his duty or done some dirty trick, J
don't fall out with Ihe whole system ?

Ihe I nion is no resting place for,
sluggard or grafler. It is a comhination
of farmers forces to combat .

Cheaper to Sell?
We have recently heard several
farmers say that it was cheaper for
them lo sell their cotton at 10 cents
than i< wis for tiiem fo borrow tnonov
a" 1 hold their cotton for 15 cents.
' :''l I'ink for a moment that I
these were Union men, for 1 hardly;
think there ace any so weak minded (

t,i ;< !I "ihe i nilli he u hole (ra, li
and nothing I?iil. tin; truth," these
nun who do this arc to a certain
(aucl very large) extent, robbers. Yes
for in a groat many instances they
aro robbing their families of good
wholoeomo food, good clothing, and
taking the advantages of a good education
away from their children, and
taking away from his homo that joy,
poaco and happinoas that should bo
thero. Poor fools "thoy know not
what they do."
Say now, tho Ten Cont Man! You
have sold your 500 pound halo of cotton
at 10 cents. It brought you $50.00.
If you had boon a man, had been
honest to your family, to those dependent
upon you, and kopt that cotton
for 15 con Us, don't you think that you
would he fooling better ovor tho matter?
It is doubtful for such as you
urn devoid of feeling. Tf you had
kept that cotton off tho market until
tin; 15 cents mark was rcachod, it
would have brought you $75.00. Now
say, if you had kept that cotton at
homo and borrowed tho $50.00 and
paid 50 per cent for same, would you
havo lost anything? Of oourso you
could havo borrowed this $50.00 at a
much loss rate, Out I am just giving
you this to ?how you what you are
doing.
Thoro is not a man iu tho whole
cotton bolt but that oould havo kopt
his cotton ovory balo of it till tho
present timo, and if they had, and
not glutted tlio market at tho very
beginning ovory pound of cotton
would have brought 15 cents and
more. Thero aro men in almost all
sections of l!io country today who
are urging their renters lo sell at the
]?reset11, price. "Thou fool" ?liy
listen not to these men, who are stealing
front you for their individual
gain.
Mold fast to your cotton boys audi
listen to the voice of these moil, who j
aro Irving to drag you down I lie hill
while tliev arc going upward no longer.

Our Cotton Letter.
For chook and gall tho following'
clipping from an editorial in tho Sat-'
urday F.vening Post seems to be about
tho limit. This man wants the
Southern Cotton (Jrowers to sacrifice
their col Ion as usual in order |o benefit
others bnl I lie old col I on growers
are determined not lo do ibis tiling:
"Wo mil l depend principally up
on col I o, i. which I'". ii rope will buy in
great quantities and which runs into
money voi\ .a . |o overcome Ibis
im unco and turn Ihe tide our way.!
Thai, in \ie.v of such a public need,
planters should hold colloii for merely
personal jjain is truly reprchensi-1
hie. We read that Ihe banks goner- J
ally will keep them in the path of duly
by refusing lo extend loans on
stored ?'ol loll.
" A similar situation arises every
fall. Col Ion makes nearly one-quarter
of our total exports. Much more than
anything else, ii is what keep our
I rude wiih the world going. We must,
each year, hurry out the great staple
in order lo moot our balances in Europe.
The funclion of the cotton inilustry
in financing our foreign trade
is so important, indeed, that one
tuin-Ill almost expect to see a bill in
congress introduced by a gentleman
from Pennsylvania and backed by
Ihe stand-pal league- forbidding
planters to withhold a single bale
that was ready for export."
Our Cotton Letter.
Wo are rejoiced to see the grit and
pluck shown by so many Farmer's
I'nion men during this supreme motion!
when all New York seem to be
omhinod to break down our determined
elt'orts lo bold cotton for profitable
prices. There aro more and)
-Irongcr ii.on in the holding crowd!
this year than ovor known before,

the Farmer's Union or the cotton Association.

prices is on; leave off luxuries
and deny themselves Jand' families
sorno of tho comforts that they may
oxpoct to on joy when thoy gain tho

tho fight for right must woar out his

need. Diversify your lands and increase
tho yiold and profits.
Wo have won our prices on cotton
sood bocauso tho oil mills aro here
among us where we can attend to our
own affairs and Now York is not in
it. It now beings to lok like we at
the south will be forced to spin up
more of our own cotton too.
4 The south must now set up a determined
fight against this Now
York's skinning game on her cotton
crop and go at it in earnest to improvo
our own southern ports. South i
Carolina must stand for Charleston
as her shipping port for hor cotton
and patronize imports brought in by
ships that export hor cotton and all
other cotton states must do tho same
for their respective ports.
Tho south docs not owo Now York
I any bounties or pensions in this cotton
business. New York cotton bandling
busi.iess wsa built up by men
many of whom were reared in the
j south and we have more as capable
' men here to build up our soutitem
1 ports and shipping interests. The
south's prosperity was not brought
la-bout by New York's aid or friendship,
but it has been forged out of
tho golden profits of her cotton in
| spite of New York's skinning games
j practiced by her cotton exchange
and other combinations of accumulated
wealth.
f Cotton bears and speculators that
I have done no other business all their
i lives cannot afford to givo up their
occupations without a hard fight.
They have got to put up a hard
fight or starve while they run.
The farmer that gives in and lets
lite speculator have his cotton at
panic prices when be can help it has
j no more grit, or pluck than a ooward|
ly soldier thai siampedes and flee- to
the rear ;il the lirsl fire from the i ne

Many of our hesl farmers say they
are too busy to attend I'nion meetings.
A man that is noi busy al home
or is not worth anything to himself
or his family ai home is of no use to
his Fanners Union. Stick a pin down
at this point and please remember it.
A good farmers union is made of
good working farmers that have de-1

Whenever one man or even three
or four of them gel to thinking they

have to take water and go down
