BRING YOl If COTTON TO CEDAR-
TOWN.
In mingling with the farmers in
the country around Cedartown during
the past years, It was Impossible for
me to remain Ignorant of the fact
that Cedartown as a market was In
bad repute and losing territory every
year.
This situation became more acute
when the Farmers’ Union, enlightened
by their researches and by the press
of the country, began to take steps
to eradicate the evils which permeate
our whole cotton market system.
It Is the intention of the Farm
ers’ Union to put out of business the
gambling speculators, who year af
ter year force down the price of cot
ton and rob our farmers and mer
chants of so many millions of dollars
every season.
Three years ago the Union set the
price at 10 cents, and succeeded in
holding enough cotton off the mar
ket to materially advance the price.
vo years ago they set the price
at 11 cents, and succeeded in innking
marked improvements over the prev
ious year.
In the meantime, the cost of every
thing had advanced so rapidly that
for this year the price was set at
15 cents. And now the fight is on
In dead earnest between the farmers
and the gamblers and their friends.
The farmers realized long ago that
to ever win the fight they would
have to build warehouses and control
their cotton.
They have already built over 2,000
arehouseo and rented hundreds more
In the cotton belt. Our plan, when
perfected, is to put our own cotton in
our own warehouses. Then we can
borrow all the money we need on it
to hold it until we get our own price
for it.
In pursuance of this plan the Farm
ers’ Union rented a warehouse in Ce
dartown. They proposed to handle
their own cotton, with their own rules,
In their own warehouse.
Some parties wished to deny them
this God-given right, and a bitter
fight was waged on our Union Ware
house.
The details of this fight -have been
given in full by the columns of Tne
Standard and public talk on our
streeta.
Our farmers became very much a-
roused at the unfair methods used in
this warfare.
October 21st nearly 400 strong, they
met at the Court House and condemn
ed In unmeasured terms the fight be
ing made on our warehouse, and the
unfair discrimininatlons which ?
ruining our cotton market.
Realizing that the merchants, busi
ness men and bankers were all suf
fering from the same cause, the Un
ion appointed a committee to invite
them to meet with the farmers at 3
do not have to pay freight on our
cotton, $5 and up, that they can use
we should get at least one-etghth ab
ove the market on theBe grades. From
Lhe best Information I can get our
market is now paying that one-eighth
premium.
The farmers have gained the hearty
o-operation of the business men.mer-
hants and bankers. By our united
strength we have secur«d everything
the farmers asked for the local sit
uation.
Now it Is up to you farmers to
proclaim to your neighbors, far and
wide, that the reproach has been re
moved from our cotton market. Bring
every bale of your cotton to Cedar
town and get all your neighbors to
do the same.
If you will do this, you can make
Cedartown one of the best markets
for your produce that can be found
in North Georgia.
The recent fall in the price of cot
ton, when bv every reason known
It should go up, fully demonstrates
the will and power of the New York
speculators to rob us of every dol
lar they can.
You have got the cotton, you can
get the money to hold It. If you
sell at the low price, the robbery will
be upon your own head.
Just sit steady in the boat and
let the other fellow sweat. Those
New York scoundrels can’t spin fu
tures by a sight.
Some say I have been too severe
and extreme in my strictures on men
and conditions in this fight.
I haven’t got a word to take back
or to change—not even to the dot
ting of an 1 or crossing of a t.
Every man has the same access that
I have to the columns of the press.
If any man hod truth and merit on
his side against me, why didn’t he
dare to get up and tell it?
Radical! Yes, I am. and I’m
proud of it. All the reforms the
world ever got, church or state, came
through the agitation of radical re
formers. All history docs not record
an instance of conservative men fight
ing to reform the evils which were a
curse to their race or state. Conserva
tive men are useful In all crises to
prevent the pendulum from swinging
too far, to prevent the aroused mas
ses of humanity from inflicting too
dire a retribution upon their unscrup
ulous oppressors.

drive our barque far away from the
whirlpools of graft, speculation and
gambling which had well nigh drag

The merchants, business men and
bankers responded en masse, and was
tne most harmonious meeting ever
known. Each body promised to pro
mote the welfare and prosperity of
the other in every way possible.
Country and town were drawn closer
together then ever before In our his
tory, and a friendly feeling was en
gendered that will last for years to
come.
A committee of five was appointed
from each body to carry out the wish
es of the mass meeting.
This committee has ended the ware
house fight, by Mr. C. \Y. Smith
agreeing that after Nov. 1st he will
stop running an open weighing w
house. As the Union had one w
house already full and were filling an
other, they needed another man,
they hired Mr. Allen Jones. Mr. Jones
had been working for Mr. Smith and
quit at once on his engagement by
the Union, although his time would
not have been up for another week.
The committee Is now getting tele

Mr. J. S. Stubbs was selected to re
ceive these reports, .and anybody
