10 Cent Cotton Buyers.

Venus (Texas) Times: Middling cot
ton sold in Texas at IA cents, when
the 1907 crop promised three and a
ralf million bales, and when the totals
for this country bid fair to reach 13
million bales. Now, when the total
for the South is known to be two or
three million bales shy, cotton goes
about 10 cents. This is one Of the
reasons why the farmer knows there
IS a conspiracy to rob him, and ac-
counts for his determination to fight
the conspiracy to finish.
The only means of self-defense is
to organize and hold up the price.

To his eXcellency, Hon. Z. F. Noel,
Governor of iSsiSSippi
The undersigned citizens 0f Grenada
county. state ot Mississippi, respect
frlly present this petitiCn for the
pardOr Of William Dunn. convicted at
the August term Of the circuit court
in this county in 1902 on Che charge
Of rape On the person Of Patsy WOrsham
cOlOred. We beg 70 make the follow
ing statements Ui the facttS pertaining
10 this case:
The defendant was charged with
raping the sad Patsy Wnrsham, who
was then ten or twelve years old, at
the home OF her parentS in the day
time while Ter parer1S were away
from home. TLele were several other
children present al the house at II e
time, some cf tht N oder than Patsy.
The dwellil . was Immediately ON the
public luad and the detenGant'S S bone
was On the same fam within a half
mile CT wheIe IalSy's parents lived.
When PalSy'S parents. Wiley and
Emma WUrsham. returned home the
defendant was thete aOG remained for
several hCuIS and nothing whatever
was said about the affair while he was
there. Tie defendant has always
been hard working and industrious
negro and une that was humble and
ob6dient 10 white people. We believe
that the whole story was hatched Up
by Wiley WorSham, Patsy'S father,
who was negro that did not possess
eEea the ordinary reputation of his
race for truth and veracity, but was a
three~:old varicator. AND we beg
to state further, that the mother of
Patsy will attacn her signature to
this petition, as you will see below.
The defendant has maintained his
good reputation since his Incarceration
as letters of those who have had him
in custody will show. We ask that
your exoeilency look over the records
and as far as available, get a full his
tory of the case, and we beg to say
that We believe that you will find that
you are warranted in giving the de-
fendant his liberty.
