Young had said that the bond issue

That fche men responsible for the
French underwriting understood not

Alexander’s admission that $200,000

asked whether he had hot seen the
shipyard securities «iuoted above par.

to control the sale and price of cotton
in a recent issue of your paper. So in
terested tm I and yet was so ftprful
that my plan would not work that be
fore I said anything about it, l got
some farmers together, to prove it.
This proof of It I now wish to give
along with the plan. All attempts
to organize the farmers have proven
futile, and I think one reason is that
there was no money for the farmers in
any of them. The best sticking
plaster in the world Is a dollar, as it
will stick a beautiful woman to a
m'serable old "cuss” of a man. It will
stick the farmers together, and is the
best sigh, password and pledge on
God’s earth, and is the basis, the
spring and inspiration of all effort,
both individual and corporate.
Therefore'If my plan makes money
for the farmers they will stick. It Is
Cailfornraf as follows: In place of each farmer
carrying his cotton to his local market
and selling it to the local store-keeper
or export agent, let all In a neighbor
combine themselves Into an ograniza
tion and pledge tbemseves to sell Only
through their agent. Every man who
handles our cotton makes something
out of it, and the greater number who
handle it the less there is in It for the
man who sells It.-*- Therefore, my
plan is to eliminate as many pf these
middlemen as possBJe and bring the
farmer as near a* possible to those
who are the last to handle it. .
At Lyncbburfgr^Sumter County,
where I live and where I tried my
plan we were able to get from one-
eighth to one-fourtn cent per pound
more than surrounding markets were
giving. Oiif pledge was as followt-
“We, the undersigned, pledge 'bdr
selves to sell our c tton through our
agent.” We then contributed enough
to edable our agent to take the Nevs
York report and use the telegraph.
.Fllfieu_minut.es from the time I went
ou the cotton ^Tatforra"we were able
to get -3-8 of a cent per pound more
tban was offered us by the buyers In
our town.
It will be seen that by this plan
our agent's business is to get all he
can for our cottop*.while it is the
local buyer's business to get it for as
little as possible. Our agent" can
communicate with any exporter, and
having cotton in lots can cqmmand
the best prices. Another great advant
age is that the farmer who has but
one bale gets as much as the man
who has one hundred.
1 acted as their agent this year at
Lynchburg and each day the farmers
would bring from 10 to 40 or 100 bales.
’By careful weighing and grading
soon built up a reputation for fair
dealing, and handling the cotton in
such kits got better prices "than any
^market in that part of the country.
T The farmers gave me 25 cents per
bale as a commission, and according
to the prices which prevailed at the
markets just five miles away on-the
same- ra lroad and nearer the seapqft
-where our cotton was shipped they
made from $1.50 to $2 per bale by the
J. A, Williamson, expressed messen
ger, Nashville; bruises all over the
body. ^.
The following;are more or less hurt:
Warren Cummins, colored fireman of
No. 3; Tom Blackwell, colored porter
for the local plan. Now,
every shipping point in this
State to have its farmers’ selling
agent. What is the use for us to allow
other men to make from $1.50 to $2
per bale-on our cotton, when by
little effort and concert of action we
can save it. We make in South Caro
lina about 800,000 bales. of cotton
annually. By saving $1 per bale would
make $800,000, which «%uld enable
us to put a man in every seaport town
within reach of this State. This
would enable our local agents to have a
corr^pondent at the water front who
could deal ditectly with the exporters
and handle the cotton from as many
points as was most convenient. This
sea-port agent could be on the ground
to see that we were protected in
weights and grades. This last is one
Item where -w are “dug up.” Our
cotton is graded by those who wish to
make money out of it and of cou
is graded as many points off as con
science and circumstances allow them
to do.
Now, Mr. Editor, I want to
from as many farmers as possible as
soon as possible, so that, If they ap
prove my plan, we may get as many
organizations as possible before anoth
ex. season. The uvea proving -out

all this over to our selling agent and
give him a certain per cent., and we
get the $1.15 or $2.15 as the case may
