Hold Your Cotton" Is The Watcllword.

AS is we'll known to all our farmers,
there has been u very sharp and rapid
decline in cotton since December 3rd,
when the Government report of q prob
able crop OF 12,1G2, 900 bales wrs given
out. AT once the Wall street gamblers
and money sharks began hammering
the price down until it has most reach
ed seven cents. And now when the
farmers rise in their might and try to
protect themselves against this gigan-
tic steal of fifty million dollars of their
honest toll and labor, by keeping their
cotton Oft the market. the same Wall
street robbers come back at us with
the threat that they will break the
farmers from holding cotton or ever
attempting to hold again. Fellow
farmers I'll .h sa are we going , to stand this'
to lose fifty million dollars worth of
their honest toll and see it gobbled up
by epeculatOrs who never as much as
saw u stalk of cotton growing? No
say no. Then, fellow farmers, let g
prove our assertion by rallying around
our banner. Let's stay in this fight to
win OF die.
Remember the words of the immortal
Lawrence. "DUnt give up the ship"
Let ours be, don't give up tho cot
ton"
From every quarter of the Sonth,
from men, of high degree, men. of in
fuence and financial standing comes
with encouraging words of help to us
i'll this great battle between honest
toll Of the South and legal thieves of
the North. We say, hats Oft to the
bankers of the South who are coming
to our aid. Let's give them to under
stand that We appreciate their effort in
our behalf, and that we are ready to
join hands with every movement that
is calculated to help us in cur present
struggle.
And now, brother farmers. in our ef-
fort to secure Il better price for our
cotton-the great staple and money
crop of our fair Southlr d, let's not
overlook the importanr~ of organiza-
tion. Get into the =. mcrs' Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union of
America, and stand by it, for herein we
must finally fight our battles and win
our victories. Remember that this
great Order was originated in the great
State of Texas and that every farmer
within her border is with us in all our
trials and tribulatlOns.

The Educational Feature.

One object in organizing the far
mers, as the heading of this column

gencer for the use of this column. We

need the help of all classes and pro-
fessions; more especially do we need
the aid of the manufacturer. Many
of our cotton farmers hold stock in

us by some concerted action to keep
up or increase the price of cotton goods,
that they may be able to give the cot
ton grower more for his cottonP We
cannot raise cotton at seven cents.
Under present conditions it costs more
than that to raise it, due to competi-

One Thousand Dollars For Rooster.

rather sensational incident, and for the
first time in the poultry world, it is
contended, an offer of 81, 900 was refus.

g. Sons placed their black Orpington
cockerel on exhibition his value was
marked at ST. 900. This was thought to

city, breeder OF OrpinRtons, offered
$500 for the black rooster. which was
declined. and then Henry 4. Sherwood,
q Connecticut breeder, raised the price
TO 5000. This also was refused. Mr..
Willets finally offered the maximum
amount for the Orpington, but failed to
secure him. Mr.. Cook, owner of the
cockerel. said he would keep him be-
cause it had taken him 27 years to per-
feet the strain. at cost Of more than

The Bankers Heard From.

It is exceedingly gratifying to the
the business men of the South to the
appeal Of the farmers for aid in their
desperate struggle against the COM
bined forces of the cotton speculators
who are now playing game to force
the farmers of the. South to yield to
their levy of several hundred million
dollars.
In the article recently published,
coming from Mr. B. r. Mauldin, presi-
dent, and Mr.. w. j. Montgomery,
vice president of the South Carolina
Bankers Association, there are several
paragraphs besides the bankers offers
of much-needed aid, of special interest
to farmers at this time. In Mr.. Mont
gOmery's remarks he says: 'Becauae
the bankers of the South are organi-
zed, the farmers are not; the banks
can act promptly, the farmers can
not"
This paragraph of Mr.. Montgomery's
should be read and read again to every
farmer of South Carolina who does not
already. belong TO- some farmers OF:
ganization. The farmers who stand
outside of the farmers' organization
are usually of the class &C farmers that
are continually harping on the combi-
nations of capital and refusing them
selves to join the other farmers in or
ganized effort to meet these cCmbina-
tiOns.
just as soon as the farmer begins to
organize and shows to the world that
he is trying to help himself, his friends
will flock to his aid; but 30 long as he
is unorganized and indifferent he can
not expect any concerted action among
his friends in his behalf when he he's
made no effort in the way of q united,
concerted action himself.

the farmers of Anderson claim that
the mills claim all this cost of freight

and do not allow the local cotton
grower any part of this profit that he

not blame tho mile for this action on
their part, for it is the fault of the
farmer in not taking care of his own
