HOW TO SELL COTTON.
Farmers in Lee County Made Money by
Organization.

Mr.. E. D. Smith, of Lee County,
gives the following plan in the Cot
ton Plant for an organization of the
farmers for the handling and selling
of their cotton:
You gave some notice of my plan
to control the sale and price of cot
ton in recent issue of your paper.
So interested am Iyet vas so fearful
that my plan would not work that
before I said anything about it got
some farmers together to prove it.
This proof Of it I no." wish to give
along with the plan. All attempts
to organize the farmers have proven
futile, and I think one reason is
that there was no money for the
farmers in any Of them. The best
sticking plaster in the world is a
dollar, as it will stick a beautiful
woman to a miserable old ''cuss' Of
man. It will stick the farmers
together, and it is the best sign,
password and pledge on Gods earth,
and is the basis, the spring and in
spiration of all effort, both individ-
ual and corporate.
Therefore, if my plan makes
money for the farmers they will
stick. It is as follows: In place of
each farmer carrying his cotton to
his local market and selling it to
the local storekeeper or expert
agent, let all in neighborhood
combine themselves into an organi-
zation and pledge themselves to
sell only through their agent.
Every man who handles our cotton
makes something out of it, and the
greater number who handle it the
less there is in it for the man who
sells it. Therefore, my plan is to
eliminate as many of these middle
men as possible and bring the far
mer as near as possible to those who
are the last to handle it.
At Lynchburg, Sumter County,
where I live and where I tried my
plan, we were able to get from one
eighth to one-fourth cent per pound
more than surrounding markets
were giving. Our pledge was as
follows: eve, the undersigned,
pledge ourselves to sell our cotton
through our agent We then con-
tributed enough to enable our
agent to take the New York report
and use the telegraph. Fifteen
minutes from the time I went on
the cotton platform we were able to
get, 3-s of e cent per pound more
than was offered US by the buyers
in our town.
1t will be seen that by this plan
our agents business IS to get all be
can for our cotton, while it is the
local buyers business to get it for
as little as possible. Our agent can
communicate with any exporter,
and having cotton in lots can CON-
mand the best prices. Another
great advantage is that the farmer
who has but one bale gets as much
as the man who has one hundred.
I acted as their agent this year at
Lynchburg and each day the far
mers would bring from 10 to 40 or
100 bales. BY careful weighing and
grading I soon built up reputation
for fair leading, and handling the
cotton in such lots got better prices
than any market il that part of the
country. The farmers gave me IS
