THEIR BARGAIN GROCERIES,.

One Of the worst features Of the

way in which 1t is leading to the adul-
teration OF food products. In the zeal
OF these concerns to throw out a bait.
staple groceries are advertised very
cheap. below the cost Of the genuine
article In many instances. This is
done by having manufacturers pre-
pare certain special brands Of spices,

stances predominant. Some states
have already enacted stringent laws
against this practice and Investigation
into the methods Of certain manufac-

tent to which food products are adul-
terated. OF course the manufacturers
do not put their name on these goods,
and the people buy them because they
are cheap. out Of regard for their
pockets and without q thought Of their
stomachs. There 10 no doubt that the
the prevalence OF dyspepsia is due
largely to this cause For every doll

The argument Is advanced some times
that the Mail Order Houses and Boxcar

they are to blame that they are sold

The evil of foul stomach is not alone

This Corporation Won and Saved Money.


In early fall myself and other long
staple cotton growers tried the mills
and buyers to sell our cotton, but
could not get our prices until after
the long staple cotton growers of
South Georgia and South Carolina
and others got together and agreed
to hold until fair prices could be had.
Before this meeting was held some
got tired out, some selling at 1Q9
cents and some at IL cents. Some
of the mills in the early season
claimed that they could not use our
cotton, but are now glad TO get it at
an advance of from S to 81 cents per
Apound. All this was the result of
the strong determination and CO.
operation with the long staple cotton
growers.
This gain of s25 per bale, brought
about by intelligent cooperation by
the growers, should point out prece.
dent to guide other cotton growers,
who could easily have gotten 1G
cents per pound for all good mid
ding cotton this year just as easy as
the long staple growers got their
prices. We are feeling good over
the success of our long staple cotton
growers.
The lien law is an arm of the New
York cotton exchange and in turn
the New York cotton exchange
holds the mortgaged cotton farmer
in leash, as the hunter holds his
hounds.
Knock out of the South the lien
law and the New York cotton ex-
change shops, then cotton growing
and cotton marketing can be placed
in the hands of intelligent men,
which will make it easy to conduct
the whole cotton business in busi-
pess-like way to the greatest interest
and profit of the whole South.
Mr.. Hedden, noted banker of
Atlanta, in his address before the
/ mixers Association at St. Louis,
said in part as follows:
"British capitalists furnish New
York agents with money to lend to
plies to Southern farmers"
"The farmers produce the cotton,
and before it was harvested the
mortgage that rested upon it from
the time the seed went into the
ground, was hurrying it on to the
Britishers who furnished the money
for it's production"
