merchants and bankers here last Sat

len on to a considerable extent. Very
little cotton has been seen on the
streets mere this week. A wagon

when a farmer is forced to raise a
little money to pay a debt or buy

San easily be found who will advance
hlih nVe cents per pound on his cot
ton, II by so doing it will enable him
TO hold it until the price goes to ten
cents. The majority of Newton
county farmers, however, are out of
debt and not few of them have
neavy deposits in the local banks. The
tnree banks here are in excellent con-
dltion and will stand by the farmers
IN their effort to stay off the present
unreasonable and illegitimate prices
OF their staple. They can advance
enough cash to the holders of cotton
TO enable them to keep it off the mar
ket, if necessary, until the next crop
is placed on the market.
1t was thought that the lack of
warehouse space would be a serious
difficulty, but this will be obviated by
the construction of more warehouses

thousand bales has already been
started and will be rushed to COM
pletion by Jan. l.

F.s.ERS ARE
ORGANIZING
THEIR FIGHT ON THE BEARS.
CHARACTERISTIC LETTER TO An
AUGUSTA FACTOR

Who Had Called on n Farmer for
a Margin ON His Cotton-Farmcrs
in Augusta Territory Are Organ
izing Under the Auspices of the
Various Richmond County ana
NcighbOring Clubs which Have
Been in Existence for Many Years
Augusta, Dec. 22.-As an example of
what the farmers of this section In
tend to do about holding cotton, the
following letter received by a cotton
factor. who had called on farmer for
margin is Instructive:
Il have six sons. who can pillow, a
wife who knows how to cook. il she
has to, three mules. one bull. -four
cows and twenty hogs that l have
not killed. Enclosed find a check fol-
amount asked. l will ship you more
cotton next August. Hold my cot
ton"
While not many of the letters re-
ceived by the factors of this city are
as pithily put as this one, it is a fair
sample of the spirit of all of them
when called on by the factors for
margins to insure them against any
loss on a further decline of the mar
ket.
The farmers throughout the Augusta
territory in both South Carolina and
Georgia are organizing themselves into
district clubs for cooperation to fight
the bears of the market. These clubs
are being formed under the auspices
of the Richmond Country Agricultural
Club, the Richmond County Farmers
Club, the Beech Island Agricultural
Club and the Schultz Hill Farmers
Club. The two first clubs are In Geor-
gia and the latter two in South Caro-
lima. A committee from the four OF
them has been appointed and Is work
ing to get a club In every school dis
trict in this section.
The idea in these clubs Is to have
n social feature to keep up the inter-
est in times of peace so that organl-
cation will not be necessary in ad-
dition to fighting off the raids by
bears when war is on. When the Sec
tion within the immediate sphere or
influence of the four clubs now in
oneration is thoroughly organized the
intention is to spread it out over the
two states and after that. let the use
fulness of the idea be its own motive
mower.
The four clubs mentioned above
have been organized for many years
and every month in the twelve mas
some manner of amusement or enter
tainment to keep the members In touch
with ono another, even to the Wom-
Ell and children.
The Beech Island Club has not miss
cd a scheduled meeting in seventy
years, except, when the members were
all off at the war. The monthly ses-
sions were resumed. however, the year
after the war; and have been going
on with undated zeal ever since.
II has been over twenty-five years
since either of the other three CLUBS
missed a meeting. These clubs have
remained intact, and have been doing
good for their members. while the al
liances, oranges and other organiza-
lions have failed miserably in the in
tentions for which they were inaugu-
rated.
