Warning to Farmers.

ATLANTA, October 25. Farmers and
merchants of the South are warned
against cotton buyers who are now
busy at many interior points trying to
induce spot holders to sell them their
cotton at market prices and agreeing to
| pay any additional advance that may
accrue Swithinsthe next sixty or ninety
days. If you deliver up your cotton on
that>basis and the buyers get enough
| of the staple in their hands to fill their
orders there is but little chance for the
market to advance. The only way to
force an advance quickly is to refuse
to part with the cotton until satisfac-
tory prices are offered. No middling
cotton should be sold at interior points
for less than IL cents per pound. The
crop is snort and all who hold will be
rewarded as they should be.
Again, don't lend your cotton to local
mills or the promise of settlement at
my time within the next few months.
With the staple in the hands of the
spinners prices can never advance.
Again, notify ware house men to
whom you ship your cotton for storage
that under no circumstances must your
cotton be loaned or sold to exporters or
buyers on any sort of trade or contract
until you are ready to sell it. All kinds
of tricks and devices are being resorted
to 10Y by buyers and spinners to in
duce farmers to part with their cotton.
Every man who is led into any of these
trades is unwittingly playing into the
hands of the buyers and against his
own interest and that of his neighbors.
Hold your cotton like grim DEATH
Tie up the spot market and stand firm
for higher prices and the victory will
soon be yours and the continued pros
perity of the South assured.

UNION FARMER FAXED.
He Listened to Nice Young Man, Now
He Is Sorry.
HARVIE JORDAN,
INT Southern Cotton Association.

UNION, Oct. ga queer story is
current here about w. P. Simmons, a
well known farmer of Burnt Factory, a
remote section of this county, now hav-
ing 1,086 more acres of land on his
hands than he wants and for this he
paid a fancy price, all on account of a
slick talking man, who said he was
Charles Briston, representing the
Standard Oil Co., of Chicago.
The story is that Briston came here
the first of the month, when million
aire financiers and mill men were meet
ing and registered at the Hotel Union.
He was a man of rather nice appea
ance, clean shaven and about 25 years
old. In some way he became acquainted
with Simmons, who is about so years
of age and all his life has been a hard
working and frugal farmer, having
now acquired considerable means.
He told Simmons he was in search of
mineral lands for his company, and af-
ter going over Simmons land, said he
wanted the adjoining place also, which
belonged to Under Carrier. He asked
Simmons to find out if this could be
bought and at what price, though not
to mention him in it, as the owner
might wish too much, if he thought an
outside mar wanted it. Simmons, who,
it is said, was to receive a commission
for his trouble, agreed.
Some days afterward, as the story
continues, he claims to have reported
to Briston here that he could get all
the land at $40. so, which is considera-
bly, more than it is worth, though he
did not say so, The price seemed salts
factory to Briston, and he told Sim
mons to go ahead and buy the place,
pay for it, and then he (Briston,) would
take the two properties off his hands,
making payment for both at one time.
1t seems that Simmons then went to
Spartanburg, where he had some hard
earned savings amounting to- with in
terest, over So, 900. This he drew out,
and, 1T is said, arranged with a bank
for the balance, mortgaging his prop
erty to secure it. He then paid, SO it
is alleged, his neighbor Under Carrier
| for the land, got the title and come to
Union to turn it ovcr to the Chicagoan,
Briston, but he fails to find Briston.
After two days he returned. Briston
was still absent. Again last Friday he
came, but his would-b misrepresentation
of the Standard Oil Co., had entirely
/ disappeared.
Now Simmons is a~nxiously looking
and waiting for news of him, and in
| the meantime is the possessor of SILL
403 worth of land that he does not
want. AS to Briston, it Is currently
believed that he got a good rake-of for
making the sale, and will v be
heard of again, as a telegram today to
Progress" a local newspaper, from
the Standard Oil Co., of Chicago, says
that he is neither now nor has been in
| their employ.

"LOST POCKETBOOK" GAME.
New Game introduced by Crooks During
Pair.

w. M. Burnett, white, was arrested
by Patrolman Marsh at the union sta
ton yesterday afternoon and is held at
police headquarters as a suspect. Bur
nett will be charged with working
what is known as the ''lost pocketbook'
game.
This scheme is worked by attracting
the attention of a bystander without
appearing to do so and then picking up
a pocketbook which had been pre-
vionsly dropped and pretending to find
it. The crook then pretends to see
that the bystander has seen him find
the wallet and offers to give him half
of the contents if he will not say any
thing about it. If the person to whom
the proposition has been made agrees
to it, the wallet is opened and is found
to contain a bill of a very large de-
nomination and he is asked to change it
but as the ignorant man, who is the
kind approached in this game, usually
does not have so much money he is
asked to let the operator have what he
has and he will step around the corner
and will be able to get the money
changed. Of course, if the unwary
stranger complies his money goes
around the corner and never returns,
no matter how long he waits.
Burnett, it is said, made numerous
attempts to play this trick on negroes
around the union station but was I'M
able to find one who was willing to
risk money. He will be given a hear
ing this morning.
Other attempts by other sharpers
were, however, more successful, as one
credulous negro from this county gave
up $12 which he has not not yet heard
from and yesterday morning at police
court a negro hackman was charged by
an old darkie who was passing through
the city with robbing him of SIT on the
same scheme. The State, Oct. 26.
