LETTER TO COTTON GROWERS,
Will Buy Staple Cotton Direct From
Farmers and Gives Suggestions
for Mutual Benefit.

TO the Growers Of Staple Cotton:
We wish TO advise you that we use
at several of the mills in which We
are interested, staple cotton ranging
in length from full inch is to full
inch IA, and will be glad to get into
communication with you with a view
Of purchasing your crop Of same.
Our plan is to buy this cotton direct
from the farmers where practicable
and We suggest that If one or more
of you will get together in any COM
munity rs or more bales we will Send
our expert staplers. who will exam
Inc your cotton on the spot and make
full market offers therefor; but if it
be not practicable for you to congre-
gate your cotton, as thus suggested,
We would advise that you ship your
staple cotton to the Standard Ware
house company, at either Greenville
or Columbia, advising us Of the ship.
ment and we will have our staplers
to examine the same and make you
full market offers therefor.
We further suggest that if practi-
cable you have all staple cotton gin
ned on roller gin in order to avoid
cutting or mapping the staple. This
Will likewise add to the length Of the
staple, and correspondingly to it's
value and price; but if it be not con-
venient to you SO to gin, and you are
compelled to use the saw gin, We ad-
wise that you watch the roll closely
and have the speed regulated so as
not to cut the staple. Run the gin
slowly.
Whether you use a saw or roller
gin we would urge that you see that
the gins are free from ordinary staple
before allowing your long staple cot
ton to be put in it.
We shall be glad to cooperate with
you in every way possible in the prep
arations Of your staple for the mar
ket. in order to secure you the best
possible results. 1t is all important
that staple cotton should be handled
and ginned with greatest care in or
der that you may compete with the
Mississippi section and secure the
prices paid them.
II We can be of any service to
you we shall gladly assist you and
give you information upon request.
Parties in the eastern part Of the
State will find it to their advantage to
communicate with J. L. Coker and

for our account at full prices.

Taft Says People should Give ReasOIi-

That Behave Themselves.

Waterloo. La, Sept. 2S.-President
Taft today i'm a speech defining ''The
Relations Of the Government to
Business announced that trust pros
ecutions begun by the department Of
justice would continue despite re-
cent criticism that business was be-
ing made to suffer. He served notice
that the big interests" of the coun-
try must be brought within the law
just as the railroads had been and de-
ciined to admit that there exists any
discretion which would enable the
attorney general to stay the hand Of
the government In dealing with COM
binations In restraint Of trade. At
the same time the president made an
earnest appeal for reasonable consid-
GRAFTON OF the railroads and the big
Industrial corporations on the ground
that their reformation was being
brought about steadily and satisfac-
torily and that nothing was to be
gained by "vindictive hostility"
Mr.. Taft bitterly denounced those
politicians who seek to arouse the
prejudice of the people and to array
one section Of the country against an.
other. Such utterances he declared
to be those Of the "blindest Of
men,"
The trust prosecutions. Mr.. Taft
said. need not be long continued be-
cause he believed the business COM
munity was rapidly appreciating the
effect of the recent decisions Of the
supreme court and were preparing to
square themselves with the law.
I'VE have reached the point" he
said. where we can call halt, not in
the progressive movement to keep
business free from abuse but where
we can call halt against appeals to
q spirit Of pure hostility on the the
ory that no one can be prosperous
without being dishonest or a viola
tor Of the law"
Here In Iowa the home Of many
OF the progressives in congress, Pres
ident Taft declared:
1T II not progressive policy in
any true sense to be hostile to the
prosperity Of any part Of the country.
1T Ia not progressive to be against
railway corporation because It II a
corporation"
Mr.. Taft repeatedly declared
against sectional prejudice and un.
reasonable denunication Of corpora
tions by persons seeking political ad-
vantage.
Mr.. Taft said he had heard from
men engaged In business the severest
criticism Of the antitrust law. Their
position. he declared, could not be
supported.
The presidents first day in Iowa
was one Of large crowds all along
the line from Council Bluffs to Water
loo. In most Of his speeches Mr..
Taft dwelt upon the tariff. He again
promised to recommend reduction in
the various schedules as the tariff
board reports upon them and TO
sign any bills based upon these re-
ports.
