Dear Advocate:
/ have seen so many nice letters in
your paper and nothing from our
local No. 1921, and as am president,
thought would write few lines in
behalf of the union. We were organ
lied the 9Th of last July by Brother
M. A. Brown with eleven men and
three lady members. At present we
have forty-four men and thirty-three
lady members. Several of our breth-
rem still have cotton. We have been
ordering most all of our sugar and
coffee and most of our -four. 1t seems
like our brothers have been In the
cold rut" so long, they don't think
they can get out. We had our last
meeting the 21st and had good at
tendance. We discussed plans where
by we might better ourselves financial
ly. 1t is our intention to live at home
and board at the same place. l have
practiced it all my life, always raising
my own corn, meat and molasses and
sold more horses and mules than l
havs bought. / told my union broth.

five years, and live economically 9TH
erwise, should they owe anything at
the end of that time I would paw It
for them. We are working up a
warehouse so as to have it ready by

local when organized, reelected in

know you are too old to be trying to

you are only trying to fight our bat

we should prepare ourselves, who are
so nobly fighting for a just cause, and
remember that only few years more
and the last one of them will cross
over the river to rest under the

sleep, from which no brother has ever
returned. Now young friends, let us

/ would like to say word for
Nation Union, but as Sister Price from
Oakland has said, "you can say it so
much better" some times think
you should say all that is said, but
that would not do, for some would
say that is only an idea of that old re-
constructed Reb. 1t is not now like
the fight in the sixties, wearing the
suit of gray. But a filthier crowd to
contend with, and it win be much
safer to wear a good suit of overalls.
Nations union was organized eighteen
months ago with six members. We
now have ten in good standing. The
ladies' are going to come In now and
they will soon double the list. We
have not had visit by any of the
lecturers yet, but win pay the ex-
penses of Brother Haynie to come to
see us this summer.
There are some who viii join when
they see the union is not failure.
We should not think though that some
people think the union win prove to
be failure. for some peopre are born
weak minded The idea of the union
composed of the best people in the ma
ton, ever proving to be a failure.

Dear Brother Haynie:
According to promise / will write
you few lines which will inform you
of one more local organized in Ran
kin county, in the fourishing little

pie in that section. The names Of
the officers are: Charles ]. Stubbs,

dent; w. e. Burns, secretary and
treasurer; j. A. Little, chaplain; j. c..

Well, Brother Haynie, the Advocate
gets better all the time, and am
doing my best to help you get sub
scribers for it. although it seems that

Editor of Union Advocate:

to the Advocate tonight as have
nothing else to do. 1t has been rain
ing here for the last week, and looks
like it will continue ror some time.
do not belong to the Farmers Union
myself, but my father, mother, broth
er and sister belongs to it. Because
do not belong to 1t is no sign that /
do not believe in it. There are some
of the farmers holding their cotton
for better prices (my father for one)
and believe if they will continue to
hold it, and keep their cotton from the
speculator, they will win in the fight
yet. Don't you think so, Mr.. Haynie?
If the farmers could win in the fight
for their price for the remainder of
the crop for 1907, l don't think they
have such a hard time getting their
price next fall. To show you how the
speculator or cotton gambler, whatever
you want to call him, robs the poor
old farmers of his money, will give
you an example: My father who is
farmer sent his cotton samples with
a few more neighbors' samples to
Memphis, and on one occasion he
heard from it, and was offered about
four cents more per pound than a
non-union man received for his at
Lexington, on the very same day.
This was staple cotton, and was the
same variety. Who is to blame? The
farmer, of course, because n he would
hold to his cotton he would not feed
every old lazy thief of speculator on
earth. hope to see the day come
when every speculator on American
soil will have to go the honest call
ing of farmer, SO he will nave the
chance of earning his bread by the
sweat Of his brow.
Well, ought to say something about
the union near here. It has about
eighty members with these Officers:
T. G. Stevenson, president; B. Will
hanson, vice-president; Walter Shipp,
secretary and treasurer; A. J.. Davis,
conductor; J. A. DeLoach, doorkeeper;
J. G. Byrd. chaplain.
The name of this lodge is Cleve-

to two members every time they meet,
which is every Friday morning and
Friday night of each month.

ly written letter and building good
night, beg to remain
