THE OTHER SIDE OF COTTON TASEQUFSTIOS PROGRESSIVE FARMER ADVISES ) ^RMERS TO CONTEND FOR Ft LL SIX PER CENT. A fan i-.-r writing to t/.e Pro revive Farmer and Gazette said -otite time last full: I m..v arti. in your paper act\ :ar:r.caput a pounds of 1 >avT'-ri*i-T on . . ir cotton, moulding ties. 1 uucrs here.following your advice, 1 so.

If it is, defer.-! us; i. .t.publish the amo'.int we can put ' oti it.' (n answer the editor of t!:e Pa as follows: I am glad to get the letter from C," but he should remember that ...I the Progressive Farmer and Gazette can do in a case like this is to teil what is right. With all the inrmation before lis. we said, and -till say. that the farmer is entitled to put 6 per cent tare on his cotton ' ales. This is his right, but if the farmer is not disposed to insist on it we cannot help it. The farm -r now has a right to get 14 to 15 cents for good cotton, hut if he is willing to he run over and let a buyer take it for 10 cents, we have too much important work to do to fight the battles of a man who won't stand up for himself. The 6 per cent tare is right and farmers from one end o( the South to the other ought to organize with a view ta enforcing this right on all 1910 markets. All that we can do is to tell them this and then it is up to them through the Farmers' Unions and other ways to do the rest. But why do we say the 6 per cent tare is richt? Pizt in a nutshell, our position is just this: Europe buvf most of our cotton, and buys it oil a basis of 6 per cent tare?fixes prices with a view to losing 6 per cent to get net weight. President J L Lee of the Georgia Farmers' Union publicly isserted List fall that Wilmington. - Atlanta. Augusta and Savannah exporters buy cotton on a basis o 11 pounds and put on full 30 pounds before exporting. ?. If t'ne European manufacturers 6 per cent tor tare, then the Amertqu^ manufacturers should either allow 6 per cent or pay o higher price for their lint. And if 6 per cent is right, then it is not the case that where the fanner puton the full 6per cent he is acting dishonorably and selling bagging and ties at cotton prices; the real truth is that where less than 6 per cent is used the buyer might more reasonably be accused because he gets cotton at bagging prices. And it i.in getting cotton at bagging prices that the only unfair action has been going on. if the information I have is correct La>t fall the American Textile Manufacturer jumped on me for my fight for the 6 per cent tare, and I answered them with this letter. Although I watched the pajier carefully the\ have never yet published this reply, so far as I can learn, v.or have they ever refuted my po-ition by private correspondence. One or two leading cotton manufacturers also attacked my position hut could not come back at me when I presented these arguments, although I made it plain that I wrote wit :i no feeling toward either cotton buyer or cotton manufactur t-r and with an earnest desire not only to l>e absolutely fair hut toget any information that might show nie in error. For, as I said to them in the language of old Marcus Aurelius: "If any man can show me that I do not think or act aright. I will gladly change, for I seek only the truth, by which no man was ever injured." The fact that neither the manufacturers themselves nor their official organ were able to attack or overturn our arguments is the best commentary on their ' -(Kindness.

On account of sickness. I have not' been able to meet the voters of Williamsburg county face t<? face on the stump, and in order that you may know where 1 stand on the leading i issues of the day, I now address you i through The Record. I stand lirst and last and at all times to reduce extravagance. Extravagance has increased our taxes to where they are to-day; if elected, I will do all in my power to reduce J i our taxes; I for one know the bur- j dens of high taxes. I stand firmly for better country schools and longer terms; where you rind good country schools you find a prosperous country. Now, for the good roads question, i favor good roads, for they are a forerunner of prosperity and enhance the value of all real estate. As for the liquor question, I have always favored local option; there is no mistake about it.it is Detnorratir. Now, fellow Democrats, my card is before you: as I am restored to good h?.a'th, if elected I will do all that is in my power to serve you faithfully and honestly. Yours very truly, R H Kellahan.
