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

FARMERS MASS MEETING.
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.

Cotton Acreage Reduction.
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|
