state meeting of the Cotton Congress-

myself met most strenuous opposition
from certain banking friends who

Stackhouse will succeed in this under

they did for the union.
If the farmers could only see how

answered by Redford Of Texas and
Sellers Of Chesterfield, and I do not
think he will again give voice to
such thoughts.
The Piney Woods Farmers Union
In the Dutch Fork Of Lexington coun-
ty held its eleventh annual picnic and
rally last Saturday. 1t was the big
sest Farmers Union picnic that 1 ever
attended. One of the features Of the
day was the exhibit of homemade
bread from homemade flour. The five
speakers were appointed judges. 1t
was our first experience as bread
tasters, but remarkable to relate our
verdict was unanimous 1t would be
hard to find Il better lot of bread
than we had to judge.
Cotton prices do not trouble these
people as much as they do some other
sections. They live at home. The
crops in Lexington are better than
have seen them in the several years
that l have been visiting the county
about this time Of year. l.. w. d.
