DEAR BRoTHER HAYNIE::

49,
DEAR BROTHER HAYNIE:
Ipromised to write you some time
back, but have been very busy.
Your speech at Damascus did a
great deal Of good to the cause and
was followed by an increase OF
membership of good material. So
many of us are hard pressed that
we are having a hard time, but we
are struggling and working for bet
ter things Our County Union
meets next Thursday at Harpers-
vile and is one Of the places we
were SO anxious to have you speak
at, and if you can possibly come
! am sure you will do a great deal
of good. | am one of the Com
mittee Of Arrangement and we have
selected you to come, in order that
much good may be done.
Your friend and brother,
r. T. WARE.

FROM MERIDIAN. MISS.

AS | have not seen anything from
Lauderdale County in some time
thought | would try in my weak
way to write a little for its readers.
Our County held its last Quarterly
meeting with Tonic Local on the
18th and 14th Of December, and
many questions of importance were
discussed After the general busi-
ness was disposed of we proceeded
to elect officers for the ensuing
year, as follows: President, Asa
Green; Vice President, Nell King;
Secretary Treasurer r.. L. Willing
ham. Our next County meeting
will be held with Goodwater Local
on March 10Th and 20th. AT last
we have our warehouse ready for
the reception Of cotton and are
filling it fast. That's right, boys,
stand pat for 15cI | want to call
the attention Of the brotherhood
to the fact that we buy food stuffs
and are being robbed in weight and
measure. ! know brother who
bought sack Of chops for S1.35;
the merchant. claimed it weighed
SO pounds, but it really weighed
only So pounds, thus lie lost 10 lbs.
It is not only with chops that this
is done, but also with oats, corn
and about everything you buy by
weight or measure. think it a
good idea to compel each manu-
facturer Of such goods to guarantee
his weights.
Now, that a new year has begun
let lis all commence anew and make
home sustaining farms. Raise all
food-stuffs at home and then what
cotton we can, and then and not
till then will we be in a position to
hold for our own price.
Yours in the work,
ASA GREEN.

deliberations have returned home
saying to the membership, 'sit was
good to have been there. This
I is just the way your humble scribe
feels about it. The prominent fea
ture of the whole proceeding was
idealistic Of that principle enuncia-
ted first BY that eminent statesman

While, under the rules governing
our executive session, the world
could not listen nor see, yet the
writer feels that no fair critic would
have imputed to that body sinister
motives. Brother Editor, / have
frequently said that if ever an es-
poused cause was or could be justi-
fed in making a fight in the open
the Farmers Union is that organ
ization. Ere long / feel that closed
doors in our operations viii be
things Of the past. The principles
we are contending for must be and
in due course Of time will be sus
tanned by every court Us equssy Gsssa
justice. We have filed our caveat
50 to speak, and as soon as a patent
right is granted at headquarters
we will be in line to openly protect
that standard upon which this free
Republic was founded Equal
rights to all, special privileges to
none. "

In our last issue President Bass
is made to say that the County Sec
retaries must forward dues to the
State Secretary, and as Brother
Bass knows better, don't believe
he said it. think it was a mistake
Of this editor, made by his being in
such a hurry, as ! also know that
the dues are sent by the Local Sec
retary and not by the County Sec
retary.

FROM AN OLD COMRADE.

COMRADE HAYNIE::
Not meeting with any Of the
ADVOCATE staff at Memphis, /
thought the enclosed would not
be amiss in your columns. / am
sure that there was no disposition
to lay down our arms and break
ranks. Keep the Goals alive, my
brother, and when necessary to
strike a blaze, give it to them red
hot
Knowing the conditions, and that
you were a very busy man right
now we excuse you for not attend
ing our Special Session at Memphis.
In many respects it was one Of the
most important meetings we have
Aattended SO far. Every state whose
interest lies contiguous to Memphis
was fully and ably represented.
The personnel was notably charac-
teristic Of American sovereignty,
Independent in thought, word and
action. From two to five hundred
occupied seats at very meeting and
manifested the deepest interest in
the deliberations. Our President,
MIR. Barrett, met every exigency
in his unique style He must have
drunk from the same Pierian spring
from which the immortal Sam Jones
received his inspiration He knows
the element that composes the rank
and file OF this organization, and
It's well with us that we have such
a presiding officer But few could

for the Union workers, / will not
stay long. Sills Local met on Sat-
urday before the Fourth Sunday
in December We all paid our dues
promptly and elected delegates to

County Union to meet with tbs on
Friday and Saturday before the
second Sunday in January, and all
who wish to be with lis will surely
be welcome.
Brothers and sisters, listenl a'he
Union work is work that we should
all be very prompt in doing; let lis
remember that it is a business or
ganization, and let us do our part
in a business way. Now is the
time to work, and let us do So
with willing hearts and hands. Be
brave and faithful, and we viii win
the victory; but if we grumble and

Irett.
In this | cannot give full details
Of all that was said and done, but
every essential matter was dis
cussed and the best remedies that
intelligent committees could pre-
sent were adopted. The most i'm
portant accomplishment from our
labors was an arrangement made
by our central Office Tor handling
cotton that Of having arranged
for an advance Of thirty to forty
dollars per bale, according to grade.
This evidently shows that some
body has money that is friendly to
the cause as well as good common
sense and judgment.
No act our Southern banks ever
committed was so foolish as to re-
fuse to advance money on cotton
and take cotton as collateral. It
will not be forgotten soon by those
who have been the main factors in
sustaining them in the past. Our
understanding is that money can
be furnished BY the Memphis Office
to relieve one hundred thousand
bales, if needed. The impatient
merchant is beginning to see that
he is crowding his best friend and
customer to his own detriment.
In other words, he is beginning to
look ahead, while his mind enter
tains the possibility Of the success
of this movement. The outside
world is beginning to discuss the
contention of the farmers move
ment and most Of them are begin
ming to see the great injustice the
commercial vampires have so cum
ningly practiced on the producer
We have been told candidly by the
manufacturer that on the contract he
has made with the wholesale buyers
on the output Of his factories he
can afford to pay 15c for middling
cotton.
Shall we stand idle and sacrifice
$1,000 per bale, or organize as
other vocations in our own protec-
ton. Brother farmers are seeing
that they must fight if they would
win, and Judging from the spirit
shown in Memphis they are in the
fight to a finish.
Educationally, great progress has
been made so far; cooperation is
being better understood and prac-
ticed wherever practicable. The
impatient are beginning to see that
we have a foe that will not give up
his Whale-oil without contest.
The implements of war we are erect
ing in the way Of warehouses are
proving to be effective everywhere
and by next season / predict that
the machinery of the Union in the
cotton states will be in perfect

A FARMERS WIFE.
Yes, sister, was old Sanity"
and we surely had a good time
that night. Only a few knew who
/ was, and / had lots Of fun. I
have been in old Copiah ever since
and have had some hard and some
good times | have made lots of
good friends among the best people
Of whom / am very proud, and also
| made a lot Of enemies, and, con-
s4ssesiag who they are, am proud.
OF that too, as | have a right to be.
That night some Of you girls put a
sack of trash on the tree for me,
and | took it to the fire outside to
examine it and forgot to take off
my disguise, and when the horses
and mules saw me all that knew
the way home went there, and
those that didn't know the way
home went somewhere else, and
they went in a hurry, too Please
write and tell me who you are.
