Bring Your Cotton to the Union Warehouse. Some people are saying that my let ters on tke cotton question are driv ing cotton away from Cedartown. What a ridiculous charge! It has been a matter of common knowledge that for years our Folk county farm ers and their cotton are seen every season on the streets of Rome and other tow ns. Are my letters so powerful that they kicked backward and caused these things to huppen teif years be fore they were written? Ye gods! what a writer 1 must be! But, Farmers and Merchants, let's look into this matter, and see what the real trouble is. If we can find the cause, ami discover the remedy, *hy should we not Join forces, and eliminate the evil? In the meantime, Farmers, let me urge you to bring every bale of your cotton to Cedartown, put it in the Union Warehouse, and get all yqnr friends and neighbors to do t lie same. This will show our good fa.tli tj t*ie merchants, and show that we are willing to do our pan towards build ing up our town and our market. For tm years or more, our cotton market nas been bottled up, abso lutely under the control of one buy er. So mutter how honest a man may be, wnen so many thousands, yes millions of dollurp are compelled to pass through hts mill, he will dip his toll dish deeper and deeper as the dol lars flow through his hopper. As the years go by, having throt tled all competitors, he becomes more sure that no man can build a mill to compote with his for the local custom. He becomes hardened against the rights of his patrons, the farmers, and the Interests of his neighbors, the merchants. Feeling sure of his pow er, and encouraged by the long suffer ing submission of his victims, he dips his toll dish once, even twice, yea thrice, into each turn as it pass es his mill. This is the present condition of our cotton market, and no man can truthfully dispute It. The farmer was the first to discover the evil, for it struck him in a very tender spot, to-wlt. his pocket book. And year after year the evil con tinued, and grew worse and worse until—our fanners drifted away to other towns and markets, seeking relief from the curse of our cotton monopoly. This condition of our mnrket has gone on and on until Cedartown to day does not get one-half the cotton nor one-half the trade which legiti mately belongs to her and which she would surely get if It were not for our cotton monopoly. You go over the rural routes for hundreds of mlleB, as I have done, and listen to what the people say. Go to the Union meetings,where our farm ers meet and discuss matters of In terest to them. Listen to their de nunciation of the cotton gamblers,who have ruined our local cotton market. And you will find out what I already know, that all I have written Is mod est, mild and christlike In comparison. I have not said or written a word against the merchants of our town. Neither do our furim rs blame them now, for they have found out who is their enemy. Our merchants have awakened to the fact that our market has been nearly ruined nnd tradu driven away for years. They know what the trouble Is. They are beginning to reasoh with one another and express thoir opin ions of such an infamous slate of af fairs. The same identical thing Is hurting both farmer and merchant. Why shouldn’t I draw aside the screen and expose the hideous sore that has tainted, sickoned and weakened our whole business body? Why shouldn’t you farmers and merchants get together and cut out, root and branch, this loathsome can cer, which has so long weakened and now threatens to disarrange and de stroy our business prosperity? We want you merchants to join hands with us and help to win Jus tice for us all. Your Interests and ours are so closely Interwoven that one suffers from the wrongs of the other. We believe that our cotton mono- I>oly has been hurting us long enough. Even If the power of its evils does drive away a few bales this season, hadn’t we better do this than to sub mit to this monopoly graft any long er? Let’s Join forces and purge our mnr ket thoroughly of this reproach, amicably if we can. forcibly If we must? As for the farmer, if they have to fight for their rlghts.they are ready to do so—until “New York” freezes ov er and then just fight on the Ice. JOHN I. NULL WOOD. P. a. Cottonseed are bringing only ?1S ;:r t-in in CciUr.cwti, Jt cocta the oil mills about $6 per ton to work the seed. $18 plus $6 equals $24. or the cost of a ton of cottonseed pro ducts. The mills get for this from $34 to $39 or a profit on each ton of from$10to $15, nearly as much ns we got for the seed. Our Warehouse has about perfected arrangements to pay $19 per ton, or a raise of $1 per ton. I wrote to our State Union authori ties about the cottonseed question. Please*read their answer below: “In regard to the cottonseed, our movement In the beginning of the season to force the price up worked to that effect so much that it rattled the oil mill people. At some points In the state they paid as high us $26, most of places $22 per ton. They had a meeting n few days ago and de cided they would not pay over $18 for any more seed. Of course, lu Am erica they allow the agent $1 per ton commission, which puts the seed at $19, the price you gave mo in your letter. I would advise that the peo ple do not sell seed at that price, as they will need the meal or the meats to ammonlate their fertilizer. There Is no reason why we should sell a ton of cottonseed for $10 when the oil trust realizes $39 on every ton they manufacture. True, that Is not the case with oil at the present price.but they are not selling oil at that price; when they get hold of the seed they will raise the price of oil.’’ You are entitled to every dollar you can get for our seed. If you are oblig ed to sell now, get all # you can for them. .L I- F. Continued from 4th Page. THE BIG COUNTY FAIR. LADIES’ DEPARTMENT. Mrs. Estelle Hardwick, Chairman. No. 23.
