In writing this article we are
prompted by no other motive than
an anxious solicitude for the welfare,
iiappiness and contentment of all the
people and especially ot the work¬
ing people who by tneir sweat and
toil secure for themselves and their
dependent ones only a scanty living
while the real profits of their labor
go to swell the wealth of others.
To say nothing of other laboring
classes as If the cotton producer of
the south alone could fully realize
whither hayegone the real profits of
their toil for the last thirty years,
they would be aroused to the ex¬
ceeding importance of defending
themselves against constant en
croachments upon the fruits of their
labor.
The declaration “there is no profit
in producing cotton,” lias grown to
he a by-plirase, among our farming
people. This is not true. There is
and lias been profit attaching to
the growing of cotton all the time but
the other fellows, and not the fann¬
ers have reaped that profit. Yes
there are today in the United States
millionaires whose millions of dol
lors are the profits from cotton.
To remedy this hurtful result
and to change the current of
this profit growing out of tile pro¬
duction of cotton is one specific pur¬
pose of Tiie Cotton Growers Protec¬
tive Association.
Now, this is true to-wit,if there he
profit in the production of cotton,
the producer thereof is entitled to
at least a part of that profit.

fllione? Sav>eb is

Make money by trading with
Greene Bros. & Bittick.
Can tiiere be means adopted to
bring about this result. We believe
so. If there can not, then the cotton
producers are doomed to be the
serfs of others.
We aie aware tnat heretofore
other enterprises promising bene
gts to the farming class did not
meet with success And why?
Simply because the farmers did not
put their shoulders to the wheel—
did not lake full control of those en¬
terprises and would not engineer
those enterprises along right and
prudent lines.
To admit thxt our farmer friends
eannot wisely engineer an enter¬
prise that promises benefit to them
is to impute to them a weeknes®
that we do not Yielieve attaches to
them.
We may be mistaken, but we be¬
lieve that much of the practical,
common sense in this country is the
heritage of the farmers and that
they can wisely maneouverenterpris
es that promise benefit to them,if they
will only take hold of such enter
terprises with vim and pusli them
to a final consummation.
After as thorough investigation as
has come within our reach we be¬
lieve there has been no movement
sprung upon the South in thirty
years that has promised anything
like such good results to her people
and especially to her toiling classes
as are couched in the present cotton
grower's movement.
Hence we earnestly beg all white
citizens of Monroe county to lay aside
prejudice and take hold of this
move aient with a fix< d purpose to see
what good is is in it, if anv, and
what good results can be obtained
from it. If we do not take hold of it
and push to consummation, we can¬
not, and will not know whether it
will work out profitable results to us
or no.
If all the the people will enter into
it there is no chance to lose anything
while there is a chance to make
something.
As stated in the outset, the writer
has no other motive in advocating
this movement, than his anxious
solicitude'to see the laboring classes
of this country, and especially the
the growers of cotton, who toil and
sweat day after day, put themselves
in such a position as that they can
reap at least a part of the profit ofs
of their labors.
As long as cotton producers rush
the entire cotton crop as they have
done for thirty years on the market
in the short time of ninety days they
can have and will have no control of
the price of their cotton. This, the
Cotton Growers movement proposes
to obviate.
Do you ask bow this is done? Then
we give the same answei that was
given to the question “Can any
good thing come out of
Nazareth, which was “Come and
see.” Come up and help to do this
thing, and then you will know how
it is to be done. The surest way of
learning how to do a tiling is to do it.
Don’t remain passive, listless and
indifferent relative to a matter that
bears directly upon your own inter¬
est, and upon the interest of all the
people.
Don’t wait for the “other fellow”
to take tiie iniative in an enterprise
by engaging in which tiiere is no
chance for you to lose anything but
a chance to gain something and a
chance to do good for others.
We are aware that there are some
men—good men too, good citizens,
who with no intention of doing so
yet by talking and by their demean¬
or towards it do put stumbling blocks
in the way of any enterprise pro¬
posed for The benefit of the farmers.
They do not. directly antagonize nor
oppose, but talk disparapingly of it
and thereby beget apathy in others.
Brother, do not do that in regard
to this Cotton Grower’s movement.
It is a movement, which whether
consummated or not, can’t injure
you, can’t injure anyone. If carried
to its proposed fruitage, it will help
you—it will benfit all classes of the
people.
Then let none of us put ourselves
in the way of its progress, but rathei
Jet every man of us unite ar.d work to
getber to foster and further the
movement, and learn what its fruits
will be.

Demand for Copper.
In our last issue, attention was
called to the great growth of cop¬
per production. This production,
however, has not equalled the de¬
mand which is so great that all
reserve products in this country
and in Europe are exhausted.
Notwithstanding the great increase
in the price of copper during the
past two years, the production has
increased but about 10 per cent
annum and the consumption in a
greater ratio, resulting in the com¬
plete exhaustion ot reserves as
stated. The capacity of the great
copper mines of the lake and other
regions of the United states are
taxed to their utmost. There is
immediately south of us, in our
neighboring Republic of Mexico,
some of the greatest copper de¬
posits in the world—rich in gold
and silver, too—they are being
rapidly- absorbed by Americans
and foreign capital, many million
dollars having been invested there
within the past two years.
The superior advantages that Mex¬
ico affords for profitable min
are becoming known and appre¬
ciated. In the richest part of the
copper belt of Mexico, the Mines
of El Progreso Copper Mining
Company, whose advertisement
appears in this issue are situated.
In the line of profitable invest¬
ment nothing better could be
desired, and as the Company’s
policy is not to limit investments
to large sums, but rather to invite
the co-operation of all, it is hoped
that they will avail themselves of
the opportunity presented,
NO. 31.
Escaped Burglar.
A negro by the name of John
Martin, who has been working on
Mr. Colbert’s farm near 1 lolly
orove church and who broke into
Mr. Allen’s store at Venture, some
two weeks ago, was captured last
Saturday and while awaiting trial
before the Justice of Peace of that
district, the bailiff handcuffed the
negro and locked him in a gin
house on Mr. Thrash’s place.
Early Sunday morning Martin
made a dash for liberty and suc¬
ceeded in outrunning the guard
who was in charge of him up to
that time,
After making his escape Martin
broke into another negro’s house
Monday morning and succeeded
in stealing a shot gun and a few
other articles that were laying
loose in the room, The negro
from whom these things were
stolen recognized Martin, hut was
afraid to make it known, and as
a consequence the thief made his
escape before anyone could capt¬
ure him. Martin, trom all accounts
seems to be well versed in the
art of stealing, and it is supposed
by those who know him that he
has served several terms in the
chaingang for similar offenses.
