"Children obey your parents." Reign of King Cotton. ? ? ! by w. m. poster. King Cotton is a sovereign bold, j Has reigned supreme since days of old ; Lately traders of base design, Are trying his reign to undermine. His products sold before they're made. By future dealers, now called trade ; 1a?w gambling is a better name, Much more legitimate and sane. His subjects to his rescue come, Like angry bees about their gun ; Breast works of cotton now they make, In solid phlanax watch and wait. Without his staple mills stand still. Nor any future orders till; Nations are fed and clothed by him, Eyes that cannot see this are dim. Wake up, farmers, together cling, You cannot do a better thing; United you'll stand, divided you'll fall, Act in concert, 'tis best for all. Farmers, don't fail to heed advice, Raise corn, vegetables and rice ; Potatoes, everything you use, This is a right none should refuse. Raise sugar cane and all your meat, Prosperity your heart will greet; Independence will be your own. As free people as ever known. Lessen the crop of the fleecy king, And this will greater profit bring; dreed fills the world with ev'ry ill, j For avarice is hard to fill. I Farmers, don't fail to back your king, , To his altar sweet incense bring; To counsel good always heed, Clothe the naked, the hungry feed. The highway to success below, Is trust in God where'er you go ; Without His aid our aims are lust Pray think: awhile, and count tiio cost, j RESOLUTIONS OE THE BEAVERS Pay a Tribute of Respect to a Deceased Brother.

Hold to Your Cotton and Rej duce Acreage the Watchword. In response to the call of the president of the Union County Cotton Growers Association there was a meeting held in each township last Saturday and delegates, elected to meet in convention at the court house on Monday. Monday at 12 o'clock President A. C. Lyles called the convention to order and the secretary proceeded to call the roll of delegates. The court room was full of enthusiastic and eager citizens, l>oth white and colored. The president announced that the constitution and by-laws which were to l>e by this convention today ratified had not been reached, but that the organization was complete without this, because each township through its executive committed* could ratify the by-laws and constitution. The president then introduced Mr. E. D. Smith, president of the State Cotton Growers Association. Mr. Smith repeated his former address adding thereto many points of interest that he had gathered in his tour through the cotton states and in New York. 11c says that wlieu you feud the reports of the selling of cotton by Texas, Georgia, Alabama and other cotton states and the immense shipments of cotton to foreign manufacturers, just put it down as false, Wcause be knows that the farmers are not selling and therefore there can he no shipments; that the only shipments which arc being made are to the compress and then to the warehouses to be stored. That tho cotton buyers, speculators and manufacturers stand aghast at the situation made possible by the farmers holding their cotton, that this little territory the southern states holds a monopoly of the cotton trade of the world, without a competitor in the growing of cotton, this lx:ing the case, all that the farmers had to do was to stand pat, and the time was near at hand when the farmer could do with his cotton as the merchants do with their goods?put a price on it and get it. He says some of the New England mill men thought that the farmers of the south were obliged to sell their cotton or starve. He told them, you can't starvo those people, as long as they could raise one of these old razor-backed hogs and log-leg collards tluy could live. That the southern people were patriotic and Ixdicved in a principle and you could not whip them into any osher belief, now that they were organized. It is u fact that cannot l>e disputed, that whenever there is a surplus of anything, the price must of necessity go down, that is whenever you make a crop of corn, wheat, potatoes or cotton which exceeds the demand or in other words more than is really needed for consumption a less price is the natural result, and there can I* no possible way to put the speculator out of business, other than that supply and demand regulate the price of every commodity of trade. The meeting Monday was the largest and most enthusiastic that has yet l>een held and the farmers seem fully awake to the practical importance of reducing acreage and holding to their cotton until they get their price for it. All the farmers have to do is to stand firm, and raise what they need at home. Paint Your Buggy For 75c to $1.00 with Devoe's Gloss Carriage Paint.

It in officially announced at Atlanta that one of the purposes of the recent cotton-grower's con veil tion nt New Orleans, the orguniza- ] tion of divisions of the Southern Cotton Association in all the cotton growing States and Territories has been accomplished. For two or three weeks the Southern press has contained reports of many hundreds of State, county and district meetings of farmers and business men displaying great enthusiasm for the cause of reduction of the cotton acreage, and it is an undoubted fact that the movement in that direction lias assumed greater proportions upon a^norc practical basis than any similar movement, of which there have been several in recent years. No one may read the reports of these meeting, in conjunction, es' peeially with the letters from nearly KKK) bankers in the South published during the past two weeks in the Manufacturers' Record, and not be impressed by the manifestations of | widespread determination of South| cm farmers to decrease the acreage in cotton this season.
