We 1, know of one cotton mill that is said (" * . had to sell some of ils slock of col- i; ton lo gel money, to p^y its hands i with, while other quills have plenty r of money to take all the cheap cot- < ton offered ai the mill's prices. f The financial situation has been t reported eased, improved and added v to until if all calculations were sum- I niai'i/ed into one summing up of t)he whole, this final addition would make a show down of something like ( douJble the amount of money in that j, Ave had before Wall Street started this scrimmage; hut yet, there is the debt ridden condition of the cotton grower that is the cause of the whole trouble. ' East of the Mississippi the fertilizer bills are the main cause. Another year this can be reduced largely or cut. out altogether and get down to homespun business and common horse sense way of farming.

' < I'he follow ing extracts from :i private letter to I his office from our *!aie .avenl, W. ('. Moore, who is now in Manchester, Kngland, explains a good deal about our col ton unions arrangements for shipping cotton direct lo ourselves or our order for sale at Manchester, Kngland, which you can readily see will net at least $7.f>0 per bale a/bove prices here, 011 middling cotton every lime and :io I trouble about advances there at six I per cent or less interest, Here is what our agent says: My trip here as the representative of those offices of the union thai are supporting my work, and are doing f. something in a material way to eslab!is!i an agency here, which is the ? proper tiling lo do, but once eslab lished it would die of starvation and ^ fail if il is no! properly supported | * from our members', and if (bey don't understand lliatfi^ i.? worse llian use- ^ less lo try lo Wn their cotton here without a si rict recOguil ion of exact * rules and action. ! have just cabled liie (Jreenville office that spot col ton if it were here j 111 storage so the spinner could set; what he was buying would bring 1 enough to net our farmers for flood / Middling f.o.b, (Jreenville, 11 five- j< eighths cents per pound, after pay- p ing all straight expenses outside ?fj, the warehouse chqrufes of about 8 |* cents per month, and the brokerage ^ or toll to the cotton association j ? which controls the rules and handling, and as Ibis price would ad- / vance as the Southern price advances I the advantage of having the cotton j stored is the same, practically all the IJ time.

It is utterly futile to rush at hose people with southern bluff and hetoric, because they would just ; (iiitinue to do as in tin* past buy j mm the. cotton merchants that have he cotton here to show them, and riho they know to be responsible for j heir offers. Here is food for thought by F. S. 'brooder, a hustling organizer who ins put 27 unions in line for work: If the farmer fails And cannot buy, Then tho merchant's goods Upon his shelf must lie.
