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. had rather be the wind that wafts the noble ship from port to port.than the anchor which sometimes saves her from storm. I had rather be the throbblug en gine that drives our ocean palaces from shore to shore than the Inert mass of metal which lies almost use less on her bows. You conservative njen sit steady in the boat, keep your hands off the anchor until we drive our barque far away from the whirlpools of graft, speculation and gambling which had well nigh drag ged her down.

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 graphic reports of the cotton market Mr. J. S. Stubbs was selected to re ceive these reports, .and anybody know what they are, at any time by seeing Mr. Stubbs.
