Dan Sully, ex-cotton king:, wants cor
to build enough warehouses in the wai
south to hold one-third of the cot- kee
ton crop. yea
Mr. Sully outlined his plan in a evil
Speech in Atlanta the other night pric
and before his words touched the 1
wires there was opposition to the is t
scheme. if S
And the strange part of it the and
opDOsition comes from the men be- for

The Farmer's Union is a good kee
organization and if its plans can mir
be earned out the cotton crop in a wel
large measure will be taken out of wot
the hands ot the speculator, but if ual
it can enlist the support of a man I
like Sully we don't sec where it Rh
has anything to lose. up*
Sully hasn't asked the farmers sou
of the south for a dollar and as
long as he puts up the cash and
builds the warehouses the farmers 1
do not take any risk by storing the
their cotton in them. see
The Farmer's Union can never 1
hope to accomplish much until it Til
gets enough money to back up its
plans. The warehouses without' ?
the money would be worse than *o ! sat
warehouses at all. and if Sully will j ^e.

uFor
the protection of stock breed- n
on , ,
crs an act was passed by the last
general assembly making: it a mis- tl
demeanor to ship diseased cattle ii
[jnr r
, into the state. The act says in I
part: "All shipments of live stock. J
except those for immediate slaughter,
must be accompanied by cer- b
tificate of health showing that the n
^ animals are free from contagious c
or infectious diseases.'' The pen- b
f alty for violation of this act is a *
fine of not less than $500 nor more /
than $1000, or imprisonment for c
not more than one year- Very 1*
good. It is the part of wisdom to A
protect breeding cattle from."eonn_
tagious or infectious diseases", f(
but why exempt those "for imme- s
diate slaughter?' * It is well known s
?* that "contagious and infectious v
i? J- ? ?
diseases very oiten are conveyed f,
re to the human body by the eating ^
of diseased meat, but it seems that a
ve our general assembly has pot yet j,
reached that degree )? intelligence r
^ which prompts them to throw safe- a
guards around the human family. v
. There is a statute law, supple- j
.j mented by municipal laws in many c
of the towns and cities, which pro- a
. hibits the sale of diseased meats, r
it- i
^ but it appears to be a dead letter ^
in that no provision is made for a
^ the inspection of meats. The hu- v
man family can gulp down ajny old a
.je thing that is offered them; a death t
or two every now and then doesn't ^
, amount to much, but we must pro- s
tect our cattle! Shades of Moses! t
