Laurjens, 8. C., Sept. 23 1907.
Farmers' Ucioa Men:?
Do yon till tbe soil? If so, please
stop and think before yon rash yonr
ootton on the market at the present
price. At the first glance it looks
like eleven or twelve cents per poornf
for cotton is a fair price. Bat when
you consider the advance of prices
in every line of business, effecting
directly the farming interests of our
State, you will readily see that fif*Aan
oonfj thp minimum nrire fired
by the Union, is as little as we can
\ afford to seTl our cotton for this season.
Theontlook, from the best authority
we can gather in this and other
States, is that there will be a small
crop of cotton this year. There is
considerable falling off from last
year's crop in Texas, and some of
the other large cotton growing
6tates. Texas did not get a good
stand, after planting as many as
three times in places; and then ' to
add to her misfortune, she is sorely
distressed by the boll weexil, which
has destroyed thousands of bales
Louisiana had to plant and replant
her crop of cotton, and she is not
only short in her crop of cotton but
in point of stand also. And, if I
had space and time, I'conld show
?/\n Sfnte after Stete is short. or will
;wh ? , be
short in the present crop of cotton.
I have been through nineteen
counties of this State, and find, with
few exceptions, only a normal crop
of cotton, with no top crop at all.
And in several couuties the crop is
being iujnred by the rnst.
? Don't be deceived or misled by
tbe cotton speculators' old and often
repeated cry of theirs a "Bumper
Crop" in sight This has been
their slogan in tbe past, and will be
in the future, if you will only believe
it They do this in order to
scare us into dumping our cotton on
the market, thus causing a never
failing slump in prices. To sell
our cotton at the^present prices is
not only financial suicide, but it is
striking bands with the greatest and
deadliest foes kuown to the South,
and directly playing in the bands of
your worst enemy, and turning your
back on your friends and ruining
the Union which you have sworn to
.protect. #
Let all the members of the Union
oOme to the front and stand up like
men of brains, as well as men of
oourage. Let no member of your
Sub-Union sell till the minimum
nrice is reached. If you have some
distress cotton in your Subs, let
your business agent make arrangements
with the banker with whom
you deal, lo furnish eighty per cent
of the worth of the cotton; and the
bank hold the cotton as collateral
until the ootton is sold and the note
paid, and thus hold your cotton, and
pay your debts too. If you have
given a lien to a merchant, have
your cotton weighed and present
him with the certificate of weights
and ask him to credit your account
with eighty dollars on the hundred
dollars ivorth, and he will not refuse
to accommodate you. But, I submit
in all candor that it is the best,
if you can do so, to arrange with
r t y . .. v;, ..... ,r
: v.- . vf ;
Mi
isplay of Ladies
0(
inue a whole
i
each member, where he is forced to (
have money, to borrow the money |
ou the cotton, and hold the cotton {
for the minimum price. i
If yon have bnil* Union ware- i
houses, pnt your cotton in them, if i
not, use the beet and nearest ware- i
house facilities you can get. It will i
most certainly pay you to pay ware- i
house and insurance charges and
hold your cotton. We have about
one million seven hundred thousand
members in the cotton belt, and all ,
in the world we need is self-confidence,
and confidence in each other
and then co-operate with other Unions,
agd other states, if necessary,
to make our selling in bulks a sue- I
cess. 1'
Our State basmess agent, W (J v
Moore, Greenville, S C, who is in f
direct communication with one hun- [ g
dred cotton factors and spinners,1 v
will be glad to confer with you
about selliug your cotton for you in
bulk, and ?an save you money by
selling your cotton through him.
Brother; let me beg of you not to j
let the spirit of unrest and distrust' g
that usually gets abroad in our land ^
during the cotton selling season, in- ! c
fluenceyou in the least. Be a man
and stand to vour znns, and we are |.
J - O . ?
sure of success. !,
i
Last sea;*on wiji a thirteen and a v
half million bale crop, and mini- j
mum of eleven cents, we not only r
whipped the fight aud got eleven ,
ceuts, but where our men had the j
nerve to hold they got as high as;
thirteen cents and three fourths to 1 j
fourteen cents per pound.
This is an individual fight, as j
well as a collective one; and the! \
question is not what are they goiug j *
to do, but as to what are you- going
to do? The difference, to the farm- t
ers of this State, between eleven and
X
fifteen cents cotton(btse? on a 11 mi - ^
lion bale crop) is twenty million ,
dollars, and all you have to do is to
be loval to the Union and it is ?
yours.
There never has been & time in ^
the history of the South till now ^
when the cotton spinners of the |
' ' 1 i ^-.1 j
worm nave iothcu iuc wiu/u
dncers of the South to meet them in
a three days' convention. They, the
spinners, say to*get closer relations a
between the manufacturer and the c
j?
producer,?brother, can't von read
the hand writing on the wall? Don't
be deceived by the cry that the Un- 8
ion is not accomplishing anything *
in this State, for we have or will e
organize five counties in the oear
future. We also have an organizer c
in our county now at work and the ^
State is now being organized as never
before in its history. It is a
thing of the past in the South that (
i farmers can afford to sell cotton c
from the wagon, for the simple reason
that not one in fifty knows anything
about the different grades of .
cotton, and it leaves him entirely at *
the mercy of the buyer who may be <
or may not i>e honest Now, in or- 1
der to be fairly dealt with in the 1
matter of grading cotton, I wonld ]
suggest that each county Union in <
the State elect, or appoint, a man j
whose business it shall be to grade
the farmers' cotton, so tDat we win
know what grade of cotton we are J
selling and what that particular
grade of cotton is worth on the market
any certain day in the year.

A stranger on entering our town
ast Monday morning wor ld doubt- ^
ess hare contrasted the picture
irhich the towu presented witb the
ollowing, which is the impression
;enerally created when school is t(
nentioned: e.
"Then the whining schocl boy with
his satchel ^
And shining morning face, creeping
like a snail 8
Unwillingly to school." ib
iut we are glad to relate that our V
tranger friends (if there were any) i o
rere disappointed this time, for we a
:an assure them that it was with ea- .
jer, expectant hearts that we entered c
he old building which has grown so r
lear to us daring the past three 1'
'ears. To some of us strange feel- ! w
ngs of sadness would come as we: p
ealized that this was the last tiniejv
re could ever enroll our names as I
)upils of our well- loved school. &
The first regular meeting of the 8
iterary society was held last Friday
fter.ioon. There was no literary ?
irogranyne for the afternoon, but ^
tfiss Roberta (Joker was elected P
retsurer. About eighteen new n
nembers joined and we feel suie c
hat this will be a ver\ successful
ear. We were glad Jo lftv? with us c
diss Eleanor Epps, of the class of ,
07.
We have had several visitors this ,
peek?most of those who came, how*
ver, caoie only to say "good bye." ^

Several noticeable chiDges v have
een made during the tummer: the
.uditorium has been remodeled by
;attiog it into one class-room, a
eading room, and a cloak room.
-iatin has been taken ont of the j
eventh grade and is now began in f I
he eighth. This doesn't affect the s
t&ndard of the school in the least, C
towever, for the same work is re[aired,
only it is doue now in three
rears instead of four. 7
At the request of Mr Bethea we
ixtend an invitation to the mothers
>f the town to visit the school as *
>ften as possible.
