he goes to the merchant for

price is charged; he take6 all the

plete helplessness, saying, "Please
Sir, Mr. Man, What will you give
me for it?" Is there the first princi-1
pie of justice or fairness in such a
state of affairs; I say not.
Now it is the purpose of the
' American Cotton Association to
change some of the conditions which
we have been up against; Its prune
i purpose is to effect a strong corporI
ation which shall be capable of prop1
erly handling every bale of cotton
; made in the United States. It will be
: owned, governed and controlled ex'
clusively by southern farmers. Ihstead
of there being a long Line of
speculators (paracites) the ones who
, have been living in all ease and re;
finement, necessary in the handling
of a bale of cotton from the time it
j leaves the hands of the producer un- j
I til it reaches the manufacturer, this
j corporation will buy the cotton from
the farmer and sell it to the manufacturer,
and whatever profit there
is made in the deal, the farmer will
get it. If at any time this corporation
does not feel disposed to sell cotton.
i a means of advancing a liberal
J amount on cotton stored will be devised,
which will enable it to be
held off the market indefinitely,
thus the manufacturer will be compelled
to pay a price in keeping with
, the law of supply and demand.
This is a day of organization as
; it has been realized by people generally
that, "In Union There is
Strength." The professional men are
organized, and the same can be said
f of practically every class of vocational
men in the world. Even the
"Sho- Blacks" of some of tie larger
