They havu chattel mortgage* which are iron-clad, and once signed therein no way of evad ing payment. Those agents gener- j ally demand the cost of the article ' tbe first payment. Never sign any - nubers of that sort. The prions ??k?d by these agents aiu gecerwlli tlree timea as much an your local dealer will ask. Those mortgages (Minted in such small type that the ordinary farmer cannot read them, are dangerous and deceptive." The above is from The Progress ive Farmer and Cotton Plant to which the ?

To Aid Mr. Sully. Mr. Kdltdf: ? Ever tdnco Mr. I). J Sully's failure I have been Lit i nk Jng that the people of the South should come to hia aid, for he cer tainly assisted us when he entered the market and raised the price of cotton 00 that the planters could realise aomo profit for their pro duct, and thus the entire South was very materially helped financially; therefore I thlnlt that wc should all contribute something to assist him in his troubles. Possibly shidc may say ho entered the uoaiket to make ironey for himself. Moro than likely he did, but ' in doing so ho c : tainlv helped us, and I proposo tli at we help him. Let each one of us contribute at hast one dollar and hh much more Ha wo cau afford. Let one of our Hanks or some well known respon sible party in each county receive the amounts ho contributed and f nrwai d same to Mr. Sully, ai.d pos nibly he would enter the market fi^nin sud keep the price of cotton {{ dug Bit low l hat l here would be no p otll left to u ?.
