Of Hawaii, whose rame, II | should

cause many to lift their eyes and

Questions regarding conditions here
relating particularly to annexation.
These questions were answered. And
the President said In his letter that
he had asked these questions because
he knew that they would be answered
with absolute honesty. Not that Mr.
Harrison thought this man was the
only honest man in Hawaii; perhaps
he wrote many other letters of the
sort to others in Hawaii but this
was one instance where n letter from
a "commoner" had some influence.

WORK OF FINANCING and HANDLING
THIS YEARS COTTON CROP in STATE

Is the federation of all the Union
warehouses in the state under one
head, by means Of contract, which
establishes central warehouse Office.
This contract delegates certain powers
to the central Office, but retains to the
local warehouse company local con-
troll and local ownership of the prop
erty. 1t is arranged that each ware
house shall issue the same kind of re-
ceipt, and said receipt is safeguarded
so as to make it negotiable paper. This
receipt will be as good collateral for
loans as state bonds. One Of the bene-
fits to be derived is to give the farmer
individual independence and manhood.
ut is provided that all cotton
stored shall be listed with the central
warehouse Office, thus making it pos
sible to sell the entire crop through
one channel in large quantities. This
system will eliminate all useless ex-
pChot ihSiuVht " thC oiA oy otChi III
selling and will give to the producers
much better prices. This, however, is
left optional to the grower.
The grower will take no risk in
putting his cotton through this chan
mel. because if the manager of the
warehouse is bonded, and he will not
let the cotton go until 1t is paid for or
until he has absolute assurance that it
will be. The state office will be in
daily communication with the selling
office, thus adding the third link to the
chain.
The union has cotton office in
operation in Manchester, England. and
Liverpool, England, through which
arrangements have been made to
finance large quantity of cotton. and
through which the grower can sell

gives out the following statement:
'The Farmers Union of Mississippi
is to be congratulated on the work
accomplished looking to the financing
and handling of the cotton crop now
growing. The untiring energy, per-
sistent effort, and clear judgment of
those connected with this department
of the union work is responsible for
the perfecting of system which will
in few years completely reverse the
present costly and cumbersome meth
DDS of handling cotton. The building
of warehouses and the slow marketing
of cotton have been the leading
thoughts of the union almost since its
organization. For a long time there
was very little system or method in
bringing about this much desired re-
suit. After considerable investiga-
ton and study a complete system has
been evolved. The local warehouse is
the pivot on which the whole system
revolves. The community or the coun-
ty is to come together, bulk your cot
ton in the warehouse and thus make
center through which the county
acts as one man. Here the distressed
cotton is to be financed by the banks
of the state on most favorable terms.
The banks of Mississippi through a
committee representing the bankers
association of the state have agreed
to undertake to finance the distressed
cotton of the farmers. This accom-
plished we are only one step removed
from the old system under which the
individual acted alone.

Lumberton, Miss, August ga
careful examination of the crop con-
ditions shows that much of the crop
has been lost by the continued I'M
favorable weather. Cotton has shed
to marked degree, and the continued
rains cause excessive foliage and stalk
growth, with no perceptible improve
ments in the fruitage.
Young cotton, in particular, is nude
of bolls, and squares and blooms are
far between There is much young
cotton in this section. on account of
the wet spring, and late season, and
unless we have a late fall the crop
will be lighter than was thought some
time ago.
Cotton is selling this morning at
nine and quarter, with little If any
thing encouraging better price, SO
far as the general market outlook is
concerned.
Cotton is not the only crop effected
by the excessive rains. Corn is re-
ported as rotting on the stalk, and
other crops damaged proportionately.
That the prospects Of farmers are con-
sidered gloomy, goes without saying

offices belong to the Union and are
conducted by an agent employed by
the Union. From this you will see
that we are in touch with both the
American and foreign markets, making
the fourth link In the chain.
THE fifth and most important link
is found in our national board. One
state acting alone canot handle the
situation. So in order to have all
the states acting in harmony, they
have come together and established
the Farmers Union National Cotton
Committee This national board will
have headquarters In central city
in the cotton belt. This Office will
keep posted on every phase of the cot
ton trade. and everybody in the world,
both on the side of consumption and
production of cotton, and thus be able
to meet the false statement and manip-
ulation calculated to depress the price
of cotton.
This national board will send out
pledge or contract to be signed by
the growers, which will place the sale
of cotton in the hands of the central
authorities, and which will enable
them to more nearly dominate the cot
ton situation. Every safeguard has
been thrown around this part of our
plan, and there will be no risk in sign
ing the pledge, but it promises in
stead much good, and will lead finally
to making the grower Independent of
the manipulation. Every one should
act promptly, and follow recommend
atoms of this national board. because
this is the only plan that will ever free
the south from domination by those
who speculate in cotton futures"
