enough, and it becomes every

leaders, and have prctically led
the people to poverty, there is a
way out, and you can lead the
way; and as the people are made
to prosper, you will prosper in a
legitimate way,
You admit that it takes on an
average, two acres Of land 20
produce a bale Of cotton, which
makes a gross earning of $3.50
per acre.
There are no net earnings, Tor
it brings the producer out in
debt.
The same land, if devoted to
raising fruit or potatoes, will
produce from one to three hun
dred bushels, which will bring
from so cts to $500 per bushel,
with much less labor and ex-
pense of production.
These are facts tnat cannot
be successfully contradicted,
and the people are fast awak-
ening to the great opportunities
that are before them. 1t re-
mains for you to say whether or
not you will have a hand in
bringing about this new era of
prosperity.
Again we call your attention
to the fact that all the broad
gagged railroad men recognize
the fact that it takes about sixty
acres of land to produce a car
load of cotton while two to five
acres produce a car load of fruit
or potatoes for which they get
more per car for shipping than
they do for cotton. Their pros
perity depends on the prosperi-
ty of the producers and they
are in position to know which
will pay best.
We insist on a thorough in
vestigation of the, facts. Let
every man woman and child be-
come interested in bringing
about this much to be desired
change.
We expect the cooperation of
the very merchants whom we
have arraigned and we trust
that they will be charitable
enough to consider the magnitude
of the cause and the almost
desperate condition to which the
masses have reached. Some
thing must be done. The county
papers will gladly aid in this
noble work, but they are power
less without the sanction cf the
merchants who dictate to the
farmer what he shall plant, and
how much he shall cultivate

a CRYING SHANE.
Why the People Remain poor.
A Scathing Rebuke to the Old
Time Merchants.
From the Greenwood Leader,

occasion to visit a cotton yard
in the Arkansas Valley, and
there we saw several hundred
bales of cotton tagged with the
name of q leading (?) mercantile
firm which boast that they have
"sold goods, bought cotton, and
furnished the dear people their
supplies for years, Oh! give
US q rest.
Yes, for years they have en-
,couraged their customers in an
enterprise that has resulted in
impoverishing the people and
taking from them their homes
till today, the Arkansas Valley
farms are in the hands of the
merchants who rent them to the
tiller of the soil at S4.00 to $500
per acre. Not one fourth of the
acreage of cotton land as it is
called belongs to the farmer and
he will tell you that he cult
waited ten or twenty acres Of cot
ton and as a rule made half as
many bales, which at five cents
per pound, he gets S25.OO. After
he deducts the cost of picking
he has less than $500 per acre
for the labor he has put on this
land and that goes to the mer-
chant who holds a lien on all he
has. OF course he can't pay
out of debt. He must put in Q
larger crop the following year,
work his family in the cotton
field, pay a higher price for his
supplies and in the fall he finds
that he Is still deeper in debt.
But even if the farmer is for
tunate enough to own his land,
he finds his entire family in the
cotton field to help him, he is un-
able to make respectable sup
port for his Industrious and
economic family. We are sick
of seeing these merchants-l Land
sharks, pose as leading citi-
zens," as high toned moguls
"See what we do for the dear
people," ''They have to look tc
us for what they eat and wear"
We say shame on such an inhu-
man state of affairs in this fair
land Of ours which alas has be-
come the Gland of the merchant
and the home of the slave"
1t matters not how much they
may pat you on the back and
brag on your children, the fact
remains the same, You are his
slave.
In matters not what position
he may hold in society.
1t matters not if he is looked
upon as a public benefactor.
1t matters not if he is "looked
up to" by the people.
II matters not if he succeeds
in satisfying his customers, and
In making them believe that he
is actually their friend.
He is not!
He is your enemy-a tyrant.
He worships himself.
He is the embodiment Of sell
fishness.
He is "hoggishness' porsoni-
fled,
In short, he is more hog than
human.
See tho rolls of fat on the
back Of his neck, with the bris-
ties standing out,
Don't tell me that he will give
you a nickle's worth of advice
unless he thinks there is a dol
Iar in it for him.
But we make these criticisms
in all kindness. We do not
wish to array the tenant against
the landlord, or in any way dis
courage him from meeting his
obligations in an honorable way,
