Cotton Holders Keep Cool.
From every quarter of the cotton
I belt comes the cheering news thai
every man it seems, who can possiblj
V do so, is holding down the lid on his
W to'ton for farmers' prices.
^ .We have a kind of mixed feeling
fev all the unfortunate cotton farw
mors who have l)een forced to mark;
j et this crop of their cotton at the
' sepculators price. But ii they will
take this' lesson lo their profit in tin
future they may have paid well foi
the lesson and may be this fact will
make the lesson Inst longer. Whilst
we feel sorry for the helpless cotton
sell m- we are feeling good over the
cheering news that is daily coming
into this ollice from all over the Cotton
Slates. 1 regret that we have
not the room for one tenth of these
fe'.isoring letters. Here is an extract
from a business le'tter lo this ollice
from President T. S. Miller of the
Farmers Union Warehouse Co., ot
Gatesville, Teucas, dated Nov. *23:
"Oir county made 50,000 bales
la?t year, think will make 17,000 this
year, 99 1-2 per cent gathered.
"Union and non-union men holding
about 9,000 bales for the 15c
minimum.

many of the merchants fighting us

"Our local banks closed elown or
li both cotton buyers and farmers, re
Y fusiiur to furnish any nwin-v to'the

Lessons We Learn as We g<> Along
The great question for cotton growers
in the future is how to avoid tlu
evil of New York panics and cotton
exchanges. Cotton growers haw
learne'd a lesson during this last money
panic that they should turn tc
their profit in the future by giving
V New York the go-by and strain even,
nerve lo establish direct trade witli
ji*" foreign countries on the Farmers
\ ' Cotton Union plans, by establishing
f a complete chain of home cot (or
warehouses in the south an auxiliary
feeders for at least two foreign storage
stations lo begin with?one in
Manchester and one in Bremen.
The dire legal robbery inaugurated
bv New York cotton exchange am
some New York banks as well as
some southern hanks who were u<
douh, in league with the whole gang
to force weak cotton on the market
at ruinous prices to the grower is the
f limit to the cotton growers endurance.
We must now slop talking
and passing u:ii(y resolutions and ge
to doing something that will count
v We have got enough of this New
York skinning game to bury the lasl
V spark of hope and confidence any ol
us ever had i:i New York.
doing to Manchester and Bremer
with farmers' cotton is our last re
\ jifrsly. Already some of our t reach
v> crocus newspapers are aiming eleadlj
I. nt l,lis new nlovemont of farm
ers, which bark only when npproacl
of danger comes along.
These papers are warning tanners
against these sales ollices abroad oi
account of I he distance1 from home
and a lot of other silly objections.
. These are. days of progress. Tele
graph, telephones and cables across
the waters to do business with atie
long range guns lo fight with.
Manchester and Bremen are now
as near by wire to the col ton fieleL
of the south as New York or Norfoll
was 40 years ago. Our war vessels
a few years ago did, their fighting

^Bion is the offspring of a mor<
^ lli'.rent. and progressive effort ol

i Ever Think About This? in
' That whenever an enemy of the 111
Farmers Union sends out a man to 111
disrupt the Union you may expect ^
this hired disturber among you to bo
i no ordinary man. lie is sure to be 1,1
; one among the shrewdest and best
r qualified disturbers among you that
; can be had.
From evidence in hand, and close Ct
; watching, it is our opinion that our N<
. South Carolina Farmers' Union lias I la
- one of those very extraordinary, of
; shrewd, slick disturbers within its in
i ranks now, who is trying to grease sa
his way into the confidence of the od
Union by cheap wit and a few gray- wi
[ haired jokes. He has already sue-: fo
ceeded in winding one of our weak I 111
i ollicials around his bad finger and <l<
! using him to create all the viie he in
; can to disrupt the Union. Just how
this old "Bowzor" got in the Union wi
! we do not know. Some members (,f
> think he got in through a crack some pi
, dark night, but his large bay win>
dow precludes this theory. At any H
rale lie is surely i:i the wrong pew,
: as his own words prove him eligible
j for high rank in the Aunanias club pj
.and unfit for the Union. I am not
; | allowed to write his name here, but
look out for him, you'll know him by
his looks and voice; same as you
know a hog by his nose anvl grunt, or
an ass by his ears and bray. Boys,
I corral him and lot's have vome fun
, while we are waiting on 15c.' cotton,
by giving this old imposition
the grand bounce out of the Union.
