got a good price for cotton.

''Thc Farmers Union, which is Il
close organization, came along with
the association, working for the same
object, but with a slower process Of
organization. The very nature of the
organization made it necessary to go
slow. If the fight had been left en-
tircly to the Union parts Of South
Carolina as well as IL part of almost
every cotton growing State would
have had no part in the fight.
"Both organizations fought good
fight and won glorious victory.
"But there is still work TO be done.
We believe that the members of the
Cotton Association who are eligible
to membership in the Union will find
that they can accomplish great
deal and be Of great value to the
country by coming into the Union.
You can maintain your membership
in the association and still belong to
the union. Most of the members Of
the union in this State were formerly
members of the association, and many
of them are still carrying their MEM
bcrship. in both organizations.
"Thc purpose Of this article is to
invite all who have been affiliated
with the association and who are eli
gible to membership in the union to
come in with us. You will find that
you will be received with open arms
and a royal welcome. There are no
differences between us, and we want
your help and advice. The fight is
not over. Harder efforts are bcin.
made now than ever before to break
the holding movement. The asSocia-
ton has not held State or national
convention, and the union will have
to stand the brunt of the fight. We
want some Of those generals and major
generals who wagcd that magnificent
fight several years ago. We need
them. They arc veterans and can be
of great value. Will You not come
in and help us? Will YOU not unite
your forces with ours and 90 with us
on to glorious victnry?'

FIXING PRICE OF COTTON.
Why Efforts are Being Made in Some
Places to Prevent Ginning of Crop
Explained-Harmon Between Far
megs' Union and Southern Cotton
Association.
News and Courier.

the cotton crop Is beng picked the
main commercial interest in the South
centres in' the price which the crop
will bring, and curiosity is added to
the interest by the determination Of
the Farmers Union to keep secret
the price for which the members Of
the Union are pledged to hold their
product.
The idea of secret minimum for
the cotton planters organizations has
been in mind for several years, but
prior to this year it was not adopted.
1t remains, to be seen how it will
work. In the first place it is pro-
blem how long such Il secret may be
kept, when it is necessarily known to
so many persons.
Suppose member of the Farmers
Union, known to be a member Of the
organization, sells Il bale of cotton,
say at fifteen cents. Will it not then
be known that he has sold at or above
this fixed minimum on the one hand,
or that on the other he has violated
his pledge? Then if another member
comes along and sells at the same or
at a lower price, there will be confir-
nation Of the information gained from
the first sale as to the minimum fixed
by their organization. Tt would seem,
therefore, that the price cannot long
be kept secret if any sales at all
are made by members of the union.
And if no sales AT all are made by the
members it will be clear that the
market price has not reached the min
imum.
At this time the spot market is un-
der ten cents, and there is no likcli-.
hood Of the minimum being revealed
by amy sales, for it can very well be
taken for granted that the fixed mini
mum is above that figure. AT present
the efforts Of the organization Of plan
ters seems TO be directed to keeping
hid also the information as TO the size
Of the crop. and one way to accom-
plish this is to prevent the ginning Of
as much cotton as possible, since the
reports Of the ginners to the govern
,,ont o;,,o ow,v tbo inflammation on
wb;cb ordinarily tho n,,;co wonld no
f;xod IN commercial c;re)os-rcveol;no
the amount Of the supply. This is a
vorv natural cffort on thc part of thc

ton manufactures. especially in the
South, is primarily interested in
staple price Of cotton regulated by
the supply and demand, so that the
trade will not be subjected TO violent
Fluctuations.
That both the Southern Cotton
Association, and later the Farmers
Union, have done good deal to
arouse the farmers of the South to IL
sense Of their own strength there can
be no doubt. Though at one time it
appeared that the two organizations
might fight at cross purposes, it seems
now THAT they will cooperate. There

The South is so overwhelmingly aw-
ricultu,al that the possibilities in ii
thorough organization of those cnwa"-
ed in the great industry Of agriculture
are almost beyond the imagination.
The thing has been tried inc and
again, but with only partial success,
though in the ease Of the Farmers ,
Alliance the power of such an organ
ization was made evident for a timo.
Now, however, the farmers have learn
ed a few things, even from the success
ses Of the Farmers Alliance, as we'll
as from its failures, and one of these
is that their condition is to be bcnc-
fitted not so much by legislation as by
the application Of business principles
10 their business. They may again
make mistakes, and doubtless will do
50. but they are manifcStly progress

that it is not necessary for an organi- zation to bear New York brand to make good.

 II is further stated that Maricopa county will ask nothing of the con vention. that is. it will put forward no candidate fer delegate and will waive whatever claim it might have to the national cCmnitteeman. That is m in stance of Maricoia's self denial which
 will paraiyze thc rest of the territory for never before have the democrats
 Of this county gone into a territorial convention without asking for every
 thing in sight.
 But before the outsiders arrive at the conclusion that tho millennium is at hand the had better wait for the
 next territorial convention for the nomination CT a delegate t1 congress: there Maricopa will shine with all her oId-time lustrc: there sho will want

 lt is needless to remark that the conclusion which has just been reach ! cd is the result of the figuring of the
 friends Of Eugene Brady O'Neill; it is also needless to remark that for at
 least two reasons thc agreement does
 not meet with unanimous approval. There are a few delegates here who would like to go to Denver and there ! are also 9 few who would like to be national 'cCmmitteeman.
