For Nine Cent Cotton.

Those indefatigable gentlemen,
W. r. Heaey, Thos. A. Pope and
Monta j. Moore, Of Cameron, are
out in a circular advocating Q
cent cotton, and the document
plainly shows how the producers
can secure this price by concerted
action. In California, the fruit
growers were at the mercy Of
eastern handlers until the raisin,
orange and lemon growers COM
bined for mutual protection. And
the Reporter remembers a time
when acres Of grapes rotted and
shrunk on the vines in that state
solely because the price offered
by big manipulators would not
warrant plucking the crop. Even
so it is with cotton to-day. The
price Of the farmers labor Is fixed
