About Insurance on These Cement
Hollow Block Buildings.

This bureau has been Informed that
some designed men have circulated the
report (no doubt to discourage this
warehouse movement among farmers)
that insurance rates would be higher
on these houses built of hollow cement
block than on standard brick houses,
when in reality the reverse is the
truth in this matter.
Looking at it from the standpoint
of the farmers side Of this warehouse
business, there seems to be too much
doing by the large cotton ware houses
men to discourage farmers in build
ing and owning their own warehouses.
Now, we are Of the opinion that this
Farmers Union movement has reach
ed that stage in numbers and strength
that we can safely say to all these in
surance agents and othc" henchmen
Of the opposition to the farmers
warehouse business, that we are not
going to have any more bomboosling
and tom foolery in this thing. Farmers
will soon have enough of these ware
houses to run mutual insurance OF
their own, like the mill men are now
doing.
The Farmers Union warehouse bus
mess we trust will soon be in shape
to take care of itslf in every other
way as we'll as take care of the price
of cotton.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-06-22

ant of the proper value of cotton and
cotton seed products. If the man who
raises cotton says that ten cents is
enough most certainly no one will
dispute it and pay more if they can
help it, though we think no planter
will say that except the unwise one
who has sold his crop in advance at
ten cents on the board is now the
most rampant bear and crop liar in
the world.
eff men in the grain belt went
around saying six bits is enough for
wheat there would be tar and feath-
ers wasted. If men went around say
ing butter is high enough at Is cents
pound in the dairy districts, there
would be baptist in stale milk.
Hence it is with unspeakable shame
that we confess the South systemati-
cally runs down its own wares, and
embarrasses both cotton and cotton
oil products with depreciation, denun-
citation understated values and grosser
caIeieSSilcSS III preparing coItoIl IoI
market. Let us all turn over q new
leaf. Let lis all contend for the Sill
premacy Of the cotton and force the
planter bears who are so many short
on the market now to have better
price for cotton, the ginner to get a
better and more uniform price for his
cotton ginning and the cotton oil mill
to get more for its manufactured pro-
duet enabling them to pay more for
seed. All this is easy. Let lis tell
the nations Of the earth that our cot
ton is cheap at fifteen cents pound,
because the mills have been selling
the cloth on basis of that price for
three years, and that cotton oil and
meal is worth uniformity present
prices. When we do this we shall in
a small way begin to realize the Utop-
ian dream of the most optimistic cot
ton philosopher"
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-06-22

While our present crops are grow
ing we should diligently keep account
of the cost of our cotton crop and fig
ure out to our own minds what would
be fair profit to each County Union
upon the average, then let each State
make the average. Then aggregate
the average among all the cotton
States at one round up meeting and
then drive down the stakes at fair
average and stand by these prices.
The following sensible clippings
from leading article taken from
Cotton and Cotton Oil News should
be good food for the minds Of all cot
ton farmers:
eff the New England States had
the raising Of the American cotton
crop instead Of the South, cotton
would be selling at twenty-five cents
d ponud." "It is the custom Of our
people to tell you that 10, cents is
enough for cotton. Moreover the great
majority Of our people are so ignor-

Pricing Our Own Products.

The Farmers Union ought to feel
very proud Of their record in the mat
ter of setting their own prices on their
great money crop, cotton, and main
tanning these prices as against all
efforts Of both bears and bulls and
even good stiff pull Of Union men
who persisted in the attempt to follow
the speculative breach Of trust by the
Cotton Association who made an ef-
fort to jump from II cents to 15 cents
at the risk of their reputation for
fair dealing.
Tt will be remembered that at the
cotton growers meeting at Asheville
there was hard pull made by con-
sumers and bears to set prices lower,
