The man in the tall tower is sub.
jecling himself To a string of spasms
trying to justify the Statement No.
I republican repre- ell [ a 'es recently
elected To deliberately lie. That is,
to go back on their pledged word
and not support the peoples choice
for United States senator The
poor imbecile cndcavors to make
them believe that because Taft re.
ccived $4,000 majority in Oregon
that the people did no, know what
they wanted when they voted for
George Chamberlain. Either the
editor OF that paper is approaching
that state OF senili,y wien he should
have a guardian appointed, or he
has been permitting some one who
should be either in the asylum oi
p,nilcniiary To- meddle with his
work. I, goes without saying that
the Statement No. I man who does
not support Chamberlain Tor th,
senate, thus advertising himself a'
a liar dishonest, corrupt aud moi
III To represent the in,elligcn, voters
who elected him, should be givci
the benefit Of the recall. In any
event such an action on his par
means political suicide aud he vii
bccomc marked man, in whom no
one Will have confidence. There l.
no dcarth OF good men IN the repub'
licau party We could name mum.
her we would rather see in the sen'
ate than MIR Chamberlain; but th,
people OF the state has declared him
their choice and their representa-
livcs have been elected OH the spe-
citio pledge that they would carry
out this expressed wish, and To not
do 81 would forfeit the integrity OF
the republican party IN the eyes Of
honest men.

MISSISSIPPI BANKERS Do THEIR PART

Bankers Association is going to take
up personally such cases and see that
there is a valid excuse for every re-
fusaI, and the Advocate wishes to as
sist in this work Should any com
munity be in such position as that tho
local bank is accommodating in re-
fusing to assist in this work, the Advo-.
cate would consider it q favor II the
names Of the OFFICIALS Of the bank
are sent in, as it is our purpose to
stand in this matter as we have in
every other, hard against any person.
or concern which through any reason
except a good valid one, refuses to
show the farmer that attention and
courtesy which BY right he should
have.
We are glad to say, however, that
we have little fear that many names
viii be sent in, for we believe that the
Mississippi bankers have done their
part nobly and have assisted the farm.
Ell materially in his work, and are CON
tinuing to do So
The joint meeting Of the two com
mittees has now placed it's stamp q
approval on the warehouse method
at least so far as this season is con
cerned, and it remains for the farmer
to show his confidence and apprecia
ton by storing cotton and aiding i
lholding cotton Naturally, improve
ments can be made and every ey'
should be kept open for any sugges
/ tion, and the Advocate would appfe

for making it better. The world Pre-

The Mississippi Union advocate and Southern farm and home. (Jackson, Miss.) 1907-1909, 1908-12-02

A very important meeting Of the
committee appointed BY the Missis-
sippi Bankers Association to consider
and take charge of the marketing Of
cotton for the present year, and the
committee representing the Farmers
Union, was held in the Merchants
Bank. Jackson, Miss Friday after
noon. November 27th. The commit
tee representing the bankers is COM
posed of Hon. Oscar Newton, president
Of the Mississippi Bankers Association
Hon. j. 4. Thomas, Of Grenada; Hon.
w. M Anderson, Of jackson, and Hon
II. w. Foote, of Hattiesburg.
The committee considered at length
the forms adopted by the Farmers
Union for the use Of the various ware
houses. consisting Of affidavits, re-
ceipts, forms for insurance, bonds
etc. and after thorough investiga
tion. decided that the lenders Of mon
ey on cotton as collateral, are secured
better today than ever before in the
history Of handling cotton in Missis
sippi.
The action Of the Farmers unior
committee in placing the bonds witt
the Empire State surety Company
was approved. as was also the form
of the bond, as being the best Don'
available under the present system
The Farmers Union committee wa
also highly complimented by the bank
ers in its choice Of the Royal Insul
ance Company, of London, in which
place all Farmers Union insurance
II was found that the Royal had spen
several hundreds Of dollars, throug
it's special agents, in rating the "
rious warehouses and in getting up
new form Of policy with bankers ce
tificate. by means Of which all hol'
ers of receipts are protected as again'
fire. The Royal is known as the lea
ing insurance company Of the worl
for cotton, and in point Of asset
stands first.
H was developed at the meetlI
that ali the banks in Mississippi, Wi
nerhaps a few exceptions, are respon
ing heartily to the previous suggestiS
Of the committee to aid the farrne
in their attempt to hold cotton Nea
II all Of the banks are not only rea'
and willing but have solicited loal
to a large amount, and very few col
plants are coming from the farme
on account Of lack Of, accommodate
OF course, it is to be expected tn
out Of three hundred and sixty-n
banks. that few small, grabbed a
unaccommodating officials, who p
haps have private interests to furtn
would turn the cold shoulder to
farmers, but the committee from T
