Timely Advice to Farmers

To the Editor Of the Dillon Herald !:
Owing to the fact that our farm
ers are, for the most part, composed
of the illiterate classes of whites and
negroes there seems to be at TINS
time a serious need of acqualntlhs
them with the real state Of affairs as
regards the cotton situation.
h Just at this time, when the fight
hat had been going on in the south
for the past three months is about
70 turn in favor of the cotton hold
ing farmer, many Of them are be-
coming weakened in the face Of the
consistent decline of the New YORK
future market, and they are on the
verge of offering their holdings for
sale now and thereby sacrificing the
very things for which they have been
fighting. After having all but con-
summated the greatest victory ever
won over speculative capital, they
now stand on the very edge Of fin
.ncial chaos because Of the mere
lack of the knowledge OF the true
significance Of events that have been
taking place between organized cap
ital and the, so far. unorganlzed
farming classes.
It should be brought to the atten-
ton of the farmers that in reality
tbey are now in supreme control or
the situation and in position to de-
mand any price they desire for thelr
nroduct. instead Of being stampeded
nv "bearish" movement on the part or
the New York Cotton Exchange spec
ulators. who have no interest what
ever in the cotton farmers except for
the dollars and cents they can make
by capitalizing his ignorance.
Wall street has called into requi-
.ition every trick and method known
to their gambying business. They
have circulated false report after
false report in the hope of demoraliz-
ing the south and breaking the hold
ings of the small farmer, which to-
day. Is the bulwark Of the movement
for a more reasonable price for cot
ton. Reports that the Reserve Banks
were calling in their loans. that Eng
land was selling, that the South was
selling, these and many other such
reports have been branded as pernl-
eious lies and evidence a wide
spread propaganda to demoralize the
cotton-holding farmer.
Now Mr. Editor, don't you think
that if the Cotton Farmers Union is
to have any significance aside from
its high sounding name, we should
endeavor to find some means OF get
the farmers together and presenting
to them the facts in the case and 10
reassure them that the fight has not
been lost but that we are on the eve
Of the greatest victory ever won over
combined money interets.
Possibly an open air meeting
| would be advisable. At least the con-
liant efforts on the part OF those IN
q bsiticns of influence is necessary 10
the farmers from losing
their nerve" at this critical time.
This. you might say. is test case IN
the Supreme Court Of the World 10
settle forever the right of the south
10 dictate the worth Of the greatest
money crop of the world. Should we
lose this case through ignorance and
neglect, the south is again bankrupt
and we stand where we did fifty
ua-y trulv vours
