the cotton crop being marketed with
undue haste. This announcement

Barrett, president of the National
Farmers Union, and officers of the
state farmers unions recently held
in Atlanta. 1t is believed that the
plan devised will be satisfactory to
both the holders Of cotton and the
moneyed interests. In preparing the
plan there has been exhibited a
manifestation OF cooperation between
the officers OF the farmers unions
and the bankers and representatives
OF capital. 1t is believed that the
famers' union can supply 100000
bales for the plan. The plan calls for
three trustees to represent South Car
olina. These have been suggested
but il any name does not prove salts
factory the suggestion is subject to
amendment.
