Dear Sir:
In your issue of Saturday 18th,
one Of the valued citizens Of
this community accused me,
through a misunderstanding, of
using his name fraudulently. I
desire, through the columns of
your paper, to explain both to
the residents of this parish and
to him that | asked him the use
of his name, as I did Mr.. Loeb
and Mr. Bennett, as a reference
in case people, after reading our
poster, did not understand thor
oughly the objects of the meet
ing, he could explain to them
and urge them to come and hear
what we had to say. His name
as a reference was not meant as
an endorsement in any way and
as this was so understood by
Messrs. Loeb and Bennett, / am
confident Mr.. Mills accusation
was based on his Interpretation
of the word reference"
As regards the co~n1.iction of
the Farmers Union and the
Southern States Cotton Corpora
ton, below will be found a set of
resolutions adopted by the
Farmers Union of Kaufman
County, Texas. Furthermore,
Mr.. O'Neal, former president of
the Farmers Union of Texas,
not only is in hearty sympathy
with our idea and plan but has
volunteered to travel and make
addresses for us, explaining our
method and finally will say that
fully rs per cent of the cotton
growers in Texas who have list
ed their cotton with us are or
have been Farmers Union men.
Yours truly,
Fl. l.. STOKES.
Kaufman, Texas, April Ill., 10.
Whereas: It is evident that
the Cotton Growers Of the South
have for years past been selling
their products for less than the
cost of production, and this has
resulted in an annual loss of
of dollars, and has ma
terially affected the proper edu-
cation of their children and the
moral uplift of the people;
And whereas: The c%ontinu-
ance of this condition means a
steady annual loss to the cotton
growers, an d through them
every commercial interest;
And whereas: The cotton
farmers are entitled to fix the
price of their products and to re-
alize on their labor instead Of
suffering an actual loss, and are
Upheld in this right by the con-
sumner;
And whereas: We have had
presented to US the plan of the
States Cotton Corpora
ion, which offers to the cotton
grower a cooperative selling !
plan, which, based, as it is on !,
strictly business principles, will
secure to the farmer a fair profit !,
or his labor, the success Of !,
which is dependent on the COOP :
,ratlOn of the farmers. !
Now, therefore, be it resolved:
That we, the Farmers Union of
County, now in SEES
ion in Kaufman. Texas, en-
!orse the plan as sane, safe. and
LIBERAL, and command it to every !.
otton grower as being the most
Elective one offered, and as
worthy Of theirssupport.

Two Players Come
