A Fnrmcr,s Trust.

To the Thinking Farmers Of the South:
For the pas TWO years l have made cot
ton commissions my business, and da ly
have witnessed the downward tendency of
your roduct. lfyou will think for Q mo-
ment, you will realize the fa' that though
you are the p'oducers of this country and
should be the most indepa ndcnt, yet you are
the m st dependent people of Americ Why?
Because there are combinations on nearly
every article you use. The manufacturers
Of the North combine on everything and say
what it shall bring, while you sell your pro-
ducts for whatever they arc willing 10 pay
you. Why cannot you protect your cotton
in the same way?
should ike, if it meets your approval,
to organize trust company called the
Southern Farmers Trust Company, for the
purpose of protecting your products from
the depressing influences of spccu 'ators,
spiBners and capitalists, and provide q
means by which you can name the price for
your products, insteai of having the
price dictated TO you. as is bow tho case. |
feel satisfied this can be done by forming
n trust which would be able to handle most
| of the cotton you grow.
Let the capital stock be SjO,OOO,OOO to
500, 0,O0O, 900, subscribed entirely by the
| farmers of the South and divided into as
many shares as may be necessary aud small
enough for every cotton planter to sub
scribe. Let each farmer take stock to his
utmost capacity and support the trust in
every possible way.
| In case you receive 10 cents for your cot
ton instead of 5 cents which you are now
receiving, you save on crop of S,OOO,O0O
bales about $500, 100000, at least twice as
much ~ the capital stock of the trust COM
pany In case spectators should become
| frightened, even at the mention of the trust
and advance the price of cotton, SO much the
better for,you, but very likely they would
attempt at first to bluff you.
| think it is now time to act. What bene
| fits the farmer or laborer unquestionaby
| benefits all classes. If such n Plan should
meet your approval. would be more
| than glad TO meet representative cottor
| grower from each State or Alliance, either
| in New York or in some Southern city, tC
see if something cannot be done to bring
about some benefit to the South. Something
must be done OF your lands will not b.
worth cultivating.

DC saving up our money for the occasion.
The authorities are doing their best to make
the coming Fair the greatest we have ever
had and we hope the citizens of our county
will pa,ronizs it literally by their attend
auce aud by exhibitions. There are many
reasons why all OF us who can should attend
the Fair. We do not know enough about
our State. her products and her people. Inc
best, cheapest and most practicable way for
most Of us to learn more about the products
of the state now, is to attend the Fair ana
study the exhibits. 1t will also be an ex-
cellent opportunity to visit the State capital
for those who have never seen the city. The
round trip from Union including admission
to the grounds will be only S2.sO. The

want to. Let's all go.
