Taylor, rural free delivery route inspectors, who were sent out by the United States postolliee department for the purpose of inspecting the rural free delivery routes and opening new routes in 1 this county have been here for the j past week. They have inspected all of the routes now established and have surveyed the route which goes out by the John P. MeKissiek place and by S. G. llowell's, cross toward Buffalo and that up by j Goldmine and also one down i?v I K. Robertson's place the exact j termination is not yet fully deter- i mined. These gentlemen give a ' very gloomy account of the condi- I tioii of the public roads. As \ie ; have said before a great deal depends upon the roads in the est?b- ' lishment of rural five delivery 1 routes. A good road insures a route because it can be traveled with such speed as the government requires mail to be delivered. And a route on a good road enables th>- residents to patronize the mail fatili.ies afforded hy a rural fiee dob very rout . MEETING OF UllON COUNTY |( COTTON ASSOCIATION. Farmers Urged to Reduce Acreagc--Union County Farmers Favor the Ad- i mission of Colored Farmers into the' Association. j1 ? r Tho regular monthly meeting of > | the Union County Cotton Assoeia- j tion was held in the Court House * Monday. President F. M. Fnrr j presided. The minutes of the last: s meeting were read and adopted, i The president took occasion to con-! . gratulatc the Union County Assoei- ? a tion upon the loyalty of its members in holding cotton in obedience ^ to the resolution adopted by the Southern Cotton Association. A ; roll call of delegates from the sever- i al township organizations showed ^ quite a full attendance and those who had reports to make and had r made collections promptly present- j 'J cd them and paid all money to the I treasurer. President Farr then p called upon the assembly for ex-j? pressions of opinion upon theques-ja tion of admitting colored farmers i? into the Association. Rev. John a (I. Fnrr in response said that he 11 favored the admitting of the colored v farmers. That he had talked to a|j, number of them and they were willing to come in and co-operate with the whites. That ho had found them willing to and some had paid the o cents assessment on the hale of cotton, and some he knew would ho glad to he members; in fact, ! ti it* i i? * * * ne loiiiHi solium 01 the colored men ' c more willing to pay the assessments ! h than some white men. Mr. Farr i ti then spoke feelingly upon the eub-|0 j"C.t of reduction of acreage. lie11 said that from appearances of the i fi preparations the farmers were making in hauling out fertilizers and fi fixing ground for cotton planting it p looked to him like they intended to \\ put in the higgest cotton crop they ii ever had, hut he might he mistaken w and hoped he was.. That there n was one thing certain, if the farm- C ers did not keep the reduction of acreage to 25 per cent, fro'ru that fi of 1901 there would he a 14 or 15 h million bale crop raised and the /< price would he 7 cents, not more,- fi but if only a 10 million hale crop should he raised in 1900, cotton CJ would bring 20 cents per pound, ti With this business proposition fac- fi ing the farmers, he could not see v for the life of him why the farmers failed to see the difference. That tl tlierii was. more money in a small g crop of cotton and raising home supplies than a big crop and have to p buy everything that was consumed fi on the plantation. J hat to follow tl the plans of the Association every fanner would he perfectly indepen- p dent and could sit on his hale or J hales of cotton and say, pay me a such a price for this cotton and you v can have it, or I will keep it, for I don't have to sell it; I've got plen- b ty to live on. j, Mr. Farr suggested that men he sent hy the Association to every r\ farmer with a pledge to sign in 0 which he would agree to reduce f. acreage. The form of the pledge is \ printed and spaces for signatures t and the reduction in cotton acreage and the number of acres to he t planted in food supply crops, n These pledges he said should he cir- r culated among the farmers and n urged that they be signed and j, strictly complied with. WhatPres- (. ident llarvie Jordan says is at the i head of each pledge; and is as follow. _ "This a year when the farmers of tin; South should fully show their 1' loyalty to themselves, their famil- 1 ies and their country by materially '' acreasmg the acreage of food supply ?J crops on every farm and thereby holding the production of cotton * within the limits of legitimate and v necessary consumption." K Ii<'t every farmer hereby pledge 11 himself to this policy and carry in- P to practical operation -the advice of the Southern Cotton Association. ^ The Association appeals to every 8 farmer to cut his cotton acreage 25 11 per cent, below the acreage planted r in 1001, and to increase his food * supply crop proportionately. If " this policy is adhered to, profitable ' prices for cotton can he maintained * and their independence assured. r Mr. W. T. Jeter said he was c heartily in favor of admitting the 11 colored farmers, that a number of 1 colored farmers in Fish Dam town- '' ship had paid their dues and were 1 l.. .1 . K 4 I...! .. /intfnr.
