OF Interst to Farmers and Merchants.
At called meeting at Natchez Au-
gust 10, the Natchez Cotton and Mer-
chants Exchange unanimously adopt
ed series of resolutions endors-
ing the plans set forth by the Natchez
Daily Democrat for the farmers to ex-
tend the time of marketing for the cot
ton cropin in order that they may secure
better prices for their products.
The resolutions pledge the united
support of local banks, merchants and
planters and are as follows:
Whereas, the Natchez Democrat is
making strong appeal through its
columns to the bankers, merchants
and planters of the South, to unite in
such action as will make possible the
marketing of the coming cotton crop
in such manner as will extend the
time of delivering the bulk of the crop
and thus avoid the depression of
prices consequent upon an over supply
during the early months.
Resolved, that the Natchez Cotton
Exchange fully endorsed the above
appeal.
Resolved, that we consider the plan
an eminently practible one, and only
needing the cooperation of the three
elements interested to assure it's
success.
Resolved, that knowing the board
and liberal policy of the Natchez
Banks, the high financial standing of
our merchants, the intelligence of a
large portion of our planting COM
munity, we have no hesitation in
pledging the hearty cooperation of
this city in all that will promote the
success of the Democrats plans.
Resolved, that copy of these res
solutions be sent to all the cotton ex-
changes of the South and their CO.
operation in this matter be invited.
The leader., 1899-08-30
Publish the Delinquents.

The Smith County Reformer, by Or
der of the board of supervisors, is pub
fishing list by precincts of the delin-
quent taxpayers of Smith county.
People who pay taxes and support the
government are thus given an oppor
tunity to see in cold print the names
of those men who refuse to pay their
poll taxes, and yet kill the votes of
men who do pay poll tax in the prima-
ries; of the men who cannot vote in the
November election because they do
not pay their poll tax, the collection
of which by distraint is forbidden by
the constitution; of the men who reap
the benefits of government by sending
their children to free schools support
ed by the tax money of their neigh
bors. and who nominate men in the
primaries for their neighbors to elect
at the polls, where they cannot vote,
and whose salaries their neighbors
must pay. The board of supervisors
of Smith county have set an example
for the boards of supervisors of the
other seventy-four counties of the
State to emulate. If the boards will
a certain day, they will publish the
list of all delinquents, many of them will
pay before that date, and thus escape
association in the public prints with a
list of men who deliberately refuse to
pay poll tax, because it is not com
pulsory, and yet hold the balance of
power in the primaries, where they
name the officers while reaping the
benefits of government they do not
help to support. Pieayune Mississip-
pi Bureau.

dead letter and no longer any protec-
tion, because it is being made traves
ty of. 1t is high time all good citizens
OF the county were appreciating the
situation just as it is, and exerting their
influence to correct it. Above all we
want His Excellency Governor McLau-
rim to inquire into and fully understand
it before he proceeds to make it worse
by granting either of the pardons pray
ed for. We do not believe for a mo-
ment that Judge Powell or District At
torney Greaves, both of whom have
faithfully, fearlessly and conscientious
ly done their whole duty in seeking to
vindicate the majesty of the law, and
who are fully conversant with the facts,
will mock justice, wrong the law-abid-
ing element of the county, and discred-
iting their own records byrecommend-
ing the pardon of either Lotion or
Easterling In the name of law and
order and the best interests of Lincoln

THE ROUND hale.

Texas has denied the round cotton
bale company a charter to operate
In the State, and we are not quite sure
that in doing so the Lone Star State
acted unwisely. AS we understand the
round bale scheme, those who own and
control the patent have formed a trust
and purpose holding everything within
their own grasp. They will not sell
State, county or district rights, and
whoever goes into the round bale busi-
ness must lease his machinery from
the trust and operate it under the Or
ders of the combine. The corporation
owning the patent therefore has it
in their power to dictate the terms
upon which every round-bale press
shall pack cotton.
Now, admitting for the sake of argu-
ment that the round bale has the ad-
vantages claimed for it, and that the
cotton packed by the process will
bring half cent more per pound than
that which is ginned and packed by
the old method; it still remains to be
shown that the farmers of the South
would act wisely i'm surrendering their
present gins and square bale presses,
which are the actual property of our
home people, to adopt the round bale
machinery which belongs to a corpo-
ration of Northern capitalists. As
matters now stand the profits that in
nure to the ginners go to home people
and are spent among ourselves. The
money is kept in circulation at home,
and all Of US are directly or indirectly
benefited by it. But the greater part
of the profits arising from the round
bale process will go outside of the
South for investment.
But supposing the round bale pro-
cess to be generally adopted and all
the old fashioned presses starred out
of existence; what guarantee have we
that the round-baleltrust will not ad-
vance rates so as to take from the
farmers and appropriate to themselves
whatever profits may be derived from
the new mode of packing cotton?
With the square presses gone and
competition entirely out of the way,
what check would there be to the greed
of the round bale trust? They could
fix their own terms, and our cotton
farmers would have to yield.-Cdr-
hdgenion.
