ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. J. F. NISBET Editor. Our next County Alliance meeting will be held on the 2nd Friday in July, and we all know thatitia the moat important meeting of the year. At that, time we elect _ _ I officers of the County Alliance and a delegate to the State Alliance meeting, and at the State meeting there will he a meeting of the county trustee stockholders of the State Exchange. It is verv important that we have a representative at these meetings. Now, in order to do that, we should go ) to work and revive our Sub-Alli ances. Reorganize as many a*: possible and have one of the full-! est and best county meetings in the history of the Alliance. We know it is a very busy time with the farmer; but let's remember that we need the Alliance now as much, or more, than ever before. Nearly everything is now controlled by a trust of some kind, | and we need our Alliance organ- j ization for self-protection and aggressive work. Our State Kx " change is worth everv year many j times what it costs. We save in the article of fertilizers aionei thousands of dollars every yearj to the farmers <d the state, and I if we would patronize as we! should d<>, there is uo telling what ! we woo id lie able to accomplish, j LEI I S CALL A H ALT. I Tlio Cotton Growers Should I (juicklyOrganize to Meet Trusts And Combines. Cotton Planters' Journal. If ever there were a time when : demand was made upon the cotton growers of the South to] call a halt and take a recl;??n- j ing, that day is now it hand. <)n i all sides we learn o." trusts, com { bines, unions and associations,; concentrating to promote certain interests. We have the cotton exchanges, the merchants' ex changes, grocers' unions, and every line with which cotton growers have to deal are orgrnized and act as a unit for the better mcnt and protection of their business. Nearly every article essential to the cotton grower is well protected by some kind ot| trusts ' or union, and yet tlie cotton growers remain divided and helpless?dependent on the good graces and selfish interests of their commercial communicants. It has become very "chest nutty" to cant and recant, the! shortcomings of our farmers on j this all important subject, and it is not. our intention to pessimist - , ically portray them again. Wnat : wo want to do is to rouse you to, action. When you stop to think that you are the prime potential) factors?the foundation stones, asi it were, of this whole fabric and1 face?how mighty, indeed, should ' he your voice in effecting its plans and purposes. In union there is strength. A sister ."Male h.;> eml.i i/.oned on ii coat of arms: I Tilted wo stand?i divided wo fall." There is no' bet for gospel than that -a iioi>-ej divided against itself oannof stand." Why, then, don't' the cotton growers organize? There was organized in Ift'.rs a cotton j IteVVitt's Little Karly Risers Met as ( a faultless pill should, cleansing and reviving tlip system instead of weakening it. They are miid and sure, small and pleasant to take, and entirely free from objectionable drugs. They assist rather than compel. Crawford Bros. Growers' Union, but this is large ly generic, and we need some thing more local and special. VVe are not unaware of th much sense and nonsense tha has been written about the ba faith of the planters in upholdin their resolutions. We knoi these resolutions have bee "more honored in the breac than in the observance,'' and ye we have enough faith in the in telligenee of our constituency t believe they will yet awake t see their wants and turn fron the error of their way. This i no time to listen to the dolefu tune of the pessimist?what w want are ways and means?am 1 ? _ I 11 i i I'vcp j 11; 1111 (' r siiuuni consimil himself a committeeman to con tribute something toward a organization that can cope wit the combined sources with whic he has to deal. The power an effect of organization is too wel known to take your time and ou space to discuss. There shout be some way?some mot hod, som organ?to advise you of the a j] proach of an enemy of a visit c a friend. Self protection is a lat of nature, and there are non more able to protect their interes than the cotton growers, it the will only combine their forces.
