Cotton growers themselves mus
for time while the fight for proii
table prices is on; leave off luxuric:
and deny themselves and families
some Of the comforts that taey may
expect to enjoy when they gain the
victory. The cotton grower who is in
the fight for right must wear out his
old clothes and then patch them. He
must do without sugar in his coffee
If necessary and only ono drink of
whiskey week and whole lot of
other things and above all go at it
now to raise every thing at home that
will grow on your lands that you
need. Diversity your lands and in
crease tho yield and profits.
We have won our prices on cotton
soed because the oil mills arc here
among us where We can attend to our
own affairs and New York is not in
it. 1t now beings to lok like we at
The south will be forced to spin up
more Of our own cotton too.
The south must now set up a de-
tcrmined fight against this Now
York's skinmng game on her cotton
crop and go at it in earnest to i'm
prove our own southern ports. South
Carolina must stand for Charleston
Us her shipping port for her cotton
and patromze imports brought in by
ships that export hor cotton and all
other cotton states must do tho same
for their respective ports.
Tho south does not owe Now York
any bounties or pensions in this cot
ton business. New York cotton hand
ling business VISA built up by men
many of whom were reared in the
south and we have more as capable
mca here to build up our southern
ports and shipping interests. The
south $ prosperity was not brought
about by New York s aid or friend
ship, but ii has been forged out Of
tho golden profits Of her cotton in
spite of New York skinning games
practiccd by her cotton exchange
and other combinations Of accumu-
lated wealth.
Cotton bears and spectators that
have done no other business all their
lives cannot afford to give up their
occupations without u hard fight.
They have got to put up a hard
fight or starvc while they run.

she cannot skin cotton growers when
they take 4 notion TO keep them from
doing it
Many of our best farmers say they
are too busy TO attend Union meet
ln"S. man that is moi busy at home
or Is not worth anything to himself
or his family at home is Of no use to
his Farmers Union. Stick a pin down
at this point and please remember it.
\ good farmers union is made Of
good working farmers that have de-
termlncd to think some as work some.
When member undertakes to rule
or run the union and the member

for something to drop and down he
goes himself.
whenever one man or even three
