That Cotton I,are.

In speaking before the Chamber
of Commerce Wednesday evening of
the practice among local buyers of
deducting one dollar tare from each
bale Of cotton sold here weighing
less than four hundred pounds. Capt.
Claffy stated that the Farmers I'm
ion through his committee had made
inquiries at all of the l--rkets near
this city and some beyond the limits
Of the county to ascertain if this
practice prevailed elsewhere, and
he stated that he could find no place
where the buyers required this de-
duction. He said If there was suf-
ficient reason for taking this tare,
the Union had no more to say, but
If there is no just reason, the Union
intended to fight the injustice to the
bitter end. 1t is up to the buyers
to give their side Of the question.
