COOPER ATIoN IN HOPKINS

COUNTY, 1EAAS. q
Editor Patyen..4 Thinking it would be
4 matter of some interest to the many
readers of your valuable paper, by your
permission / will give them a brief &C.
count of the s'rise and progress" of CO.
operation in this county, and more par
ticularly of Hopkins County Cooperative
Association, P. of H., No. All.
will premise by saying that about six
months ago, and just before the agitation
of cooperation, the Grange in this section
had about gone to sleep. Out of twelve
or fifteen original organizations only two
were maintaining existence, and 1t re-
uuired the best exertions of the few re-
naming true and faithful to prevent gen.
eral torpidity, and as acrHier resort CO.
operation was tried. An association of
the above style and name was organized,
and began business on the 18th of Au-
gust last with paid up stock of $3.50. A
larger stock was subscribed but that was
the actual sum upon which we began OPP
erations This amount has been increased
until we have nearly 81, 900 paid up stock.
The sales first quarter amounted to $3, BOO,
and notwithstanding the heavy expense
always incident to the beginning in any
business the dividends were 10 per cent.
Now it requires four clerks to wait upon
the customers. The little insignificant
shop has come to be beehive. There
are now one hundred stockholders and
the number is constantly increasing. A
new life is infused into the Grange all
over the county. Old dead Oranges are
recognizing and new members by scores
are joining at every meeting. They are
delighted with this their enterprise and
point TO it with pride as being some
showing as a result of their labors. Each
member and stakeholder is personally
| concerned and works for the success of
his store. We have never inaugurated
anything in the Grange in this section that
has inspired such life or implanted such
deeply settled convictions as cooperation.
1t is the cement thae unites and the leaven
that expands.
Mr.. Editor, | am regular reader of
your paper and find that YOU advocate

Cooperation is making steady and
healthful progress in Texas. Worthy
Overseer Rose, of the State Grange, has
given the cause a most active and effective
support, and in many counties good men
and true are pushing the good work for
ward with great zeal. The encouraging
letters We have published from that State
during the year have had their influence
all over the Southwest The letters we
print elsewhere from Bros. H. c. Dial and
A. n. Edwards, of Hopkins county, tell
the same story that comes to US from other
Counties inthe Empire State of the South.
And the good work is just beginning;
another Year, and hundreds of co-opera-
tive stores will be in successful operation
in that great State =.

TWENTY MILLIONS! VIZ
W H
WILL WE DO WITH IT

1t is very difficult to arrive at a com
estimate of the amount and value Of
cotton crops of Alabama and Mississa
The receipts being counted at the p
they afford no index to the products
the several States.
We know, however, that the acreag
cotton in Alabama for the present SEQ
is 1892, $50, and that the entire acrea:
I2,46o,3II. Its fair to assume, therel
that Alabama produces fifteen per Cd
of all the cotton crop, or about 75o
bales. The recent rise in cotton is ab
twelve dollars bale. The cotton plans
of Alabama are, therefore, nine milf
OF dollars better off than they expea
to be. amoau Fel5a
The planters of Mississippi have d
wise made not less than eleven millions
the rise. These TIVE States together
drawing from the Golfers of the wa
twenty millions of dollars more than t
calculated upon. 9a. s,.
/ Now, as Mobile is the port for the ps
tiers who have realized at least half Oft
princely sum, we naturally feel deep
terest in knowing what they intend 70
with it. eG5
Without desiring to be thought othcs
we would suggest a very easy simf
plan by which the twenty millions Gu
be made to start Alabama and Missl&i
piupon new career of prosperity.
Under the new process by which q
ton yarns are spun directly from the =
cotton. a process which has been mars
with wonderful and indisputable su's
at Westminster and other points in SOY
Carolina, mill capable of spinning d
tive thousand pounds of seed cotton
be erected and put in operation at 3
OF only $4,000 The profit of SPINS
by actual experince of the mills now
operation employing the Clement ATS
ment, is at the least one cent per poas
OF seed cotton. This would give toap
which spins 5000 pounds of seed COW
a profit of $50 per day or SIS 900 per
mum. This appears to be an immense pr
but the fact that such is the result IS y
stantiated by so many witnesses thai
have little room to doubtit. If, hover
the profit should be one-fourth OF W.
we have stated, it would be splendl'
turn upon the investment.
Ii the money now being realized Al
South should be expended in the ere'
OF these cheap cotton mills in every ne:
oorhood, we would find that the manu-.
ture OF cotton yarns would add imlilsD
~ to the occupation and wealth Of ~ ~
States, and that the shipment OF -
yarns would bring back to us just !"
the money now received for the raw
terial. The two million of bales OF :
batna and Mississippi Ito speak IN ~
numbers spun into yarn. would ~ =
value from one hundred millions

time to resolve to make investrnenS

we should hold on to it.-4lIo6iief fySs'

TIE GRANGE PRESS

The leading men of the Order have a
high appreciation of the services of the
Grange Journals, and many of them have
labored earnestly to extend their circula-
ton. Worthy Masters Harwell, of Ten
nessee, Wilson of Florida, Darden of Mis-
sissippi, Williams Of Arkansas, and Wor-
thy Overseer Rose of Texas, have been
very active in this direction, and their eff
forts in behalf of the Grange press have
been quite successful.
We take the following paragraph from
the Report of Past Lecturer Whitehead,
presented at the recent meeting of the
National Grange,
.In this same connection can say that
the educational influence and power for
good of the Grange press that has grown
up with our Order and SO nobly stood by
it, is better realized than ever before. In
those Oranges and in those States in
which the Grange papers are most largely
circulated, best sustained and read therein
variably have found the greatest activity
the brightest hopes, and the most marked
progress in all that pertains to the Order.
L feel sure that there is a better day in
store for the press that looks for its sup
port from our members. All good Pa
irons should feel it duty to sustain their
papers, for what would any profession,
class or organization be without its own
paperse Then help as educators is inval-

Editor Patron. The following pream-
bic ard resolutions were adopted by
Florence Grange, No. Sc, State of Texas,
at its last regular meeting:
WHEREAS, This Grange has read with
much surprise and regret the unjust
charges Of New Harmony Grange, De
Soto, Mississippi, against THE PATRON
OF HUsBANDRY. They are unfounded in
fact, inconsistent from beginning to end,
were conceived in no spirit of fraternity
as is evinced by the language used, and
are violative of that most essential feature
of our Order-Unity. THE PATRON is
pretty generally read by the members of
Florence Grange, is still ''prized most"
tor we believe it ever has and still is Wig
orously fighting corruptions, monopolies,
rings, cllques, corners, and, most of all,
office seekers, the prime cause of these
evils; we have ever found its political
opinions in harmony with Grange teach
ings, for its advice to all farmers is to vote
for those men whom they think will most
faithfully represent their interest regard.
less of party connection; that instead of
its being like the 'sasp warmed into life"
in Texas it has harmed into life dormant
and dropping Oranges, infused new life
and interest for the principles. of the Or
der, causing them to be put into success
full practice. "By their fruits shall We
know them"
Therefore be 1T resolvea, That it is the
opinion of Florence Grange, Florence
Texas, that the conduct of New Harmony
Grange, Miss, is unbecoming true and
loyal Grange in the following particulars:
That 1t sent out and had published in
partisan and political paper, known to be
already hostile to our Order, an unjust
and scurrllous attack on THE PATRON OF
aUsBANDRY, the official journal of the
state oranges of three States and the
only journal in the South exclusively de-
voted the interests of our Order; that in
SAID article it assumed to dictate or coerce
all other Oranges into the adoption of IFS
political views by indorsing certain DO
lltleal party, which is in violation of the
teachings of the Order. - Ell
TeSolOed, That we believe THE PArRoNi
OF HUsBANDRY, published by Bro. w.
II. Worthington at Columbus, Miss. to
De sound Grange journal, steadfastly
devoted to the interests of the Order and
worthy OF the patronage of all whodesire
to see our Order prosper. and that our
county delegates be instructed to vote for
It as the official journal Of, the State
Grange of Texas at its next regular meet

tons be sent to. THE p ATRoN OF Hus-
