TO COTTON BUYERS AND
PRODUCERS.
o
Cotton must go to Ten cents per
Round. This will be seen within 60
■or 90• days: If all persons who are in
terested in s.oiag cotton sell on the
southern market for lOcts per pound,
enough to make n donation of any
amount from 11, to any ait that you
feel willing to give to the
Ton Cent Cotton Company
in order to enable you to sell your en
tire crop of cotton for lOcts a pound,
will send to the undersigned, imme
diately by either l'osl Office Money
Order or Registered Letter- whatever
you can, the same to be used in the
buying and handlding of the entire
crop of our cotton, until the right and
highest price is offered to our cotton
raisers, for their cotton product.
Our southern Cotton raisers must
protect themselves against the very
unjust, outrageous, powerful and vet
most greedy immense combinations
of wealth that we have to contend
witly and one which if left alone will in
the very near future absolutely re*
fuse to pay to our farmers more than
Sets or 4<cts pci pound for cotton.
It does not require the mind of a
philosopher or a Jay Gould to arrive
at the conclusion that such price for
our cotton means rum to our farmers,
bankruptcy fjroir merchants, small
incomes for our preachers, small in
comes for all classes of our many hard
Workia people such as Lawyers, Doc
tors, Sta'e, County and City officials,
Railroad officers and mant also school
teachers, Editorsjnd printers- In fact
every class of professional or othe
occupations in the South will forever
be ruined if this gigantic thieving is
allowed to continue just a few more
abort rears.
llut, wo now propose to put a stop
to such high handed robbery Arm
mice it has long since been Vervclcarlv
shown that we are in the minority in
law making officers, and on that ac
count we cannot down our gu-ates.
earthly enemy, (the Trusts and Com
binations of wealth) by legislative; It
therefore, falls hack upon us ( the far
niers and other people of the glorious
and only South land) to lookout for
ourselves.
The Ten- Gent Cotton Cos., Is for
the purpose of giving to those who by
hard and constant work, produce th*-
(ferry staple, and who by rights are
entitled to the proffits arising from
the manufacture of these goods.
With the many millions of farmers
and business men who ought to fe-.d
deeply enough interested in this mo
vement to donate something toward
.his grand object: And with many
millions of bales of cotton to fall bark
upon, there can be nothing more nor
less than success for all who contl'ib
ute something toward this fund.
V w let everv one who has ths in
toristv or the success of our southern
states at heart send by return mail a
remittance of some size.
Every one mat donates as mnch as
One($100) dollar toward this fund is
sure to receive it back when he sells
nis next bale of cotton, because the ad
vance-iti the price will more than pay
him ba?k that dollar.
As there is no rascality connected
with this schce’ne, ait newspapers es
pecially those of the~ Cotton belt will
do their section the greatest good that
is within their power; by running this
notice for at least sixty days. Tney
benefit themselves by helping to raise
he price of cotton ton point at which
the farmer will be ihlc to pay his debts
and still have enough to subscribe for
the Newspaper of his choice. So, let
all newspapers put their levers under
this, and thereby completely over turn
Wall Street cotton combinations.
Tin* people who produce the cotton
should derive the greatest benefit of
that crop; This company proposes to
give th s vast sum of money to those
who help to raise tne price to lOcts.
This is the only way by which we enn
overcome the hold that the Banker* of
the East and North now have upou us.
We should not delay too long-
Ever, body should do all that they aro
able to do toward helping this great
purely hnmort Southern enterprise.
rinse W i-> send contributions first,
will b-< the -Ties who will receive the
benefits cf advance prices first.

for the sole purpose of helping those
Cotton raisers who hercthfore have

Why should v.-e wait for them to raise the price of cotton ? Whylont or ftir*
niers and southern people come together and stick togathei
powerful compinations of wealth both North and Last.
OUll PLAN CLEARLY OUTLINED.
It is the desire of TIIE TEN CENT COTTON COMPANY to sell Stock certiffi
cate* 00 Urn southern people, especially our Cotton Planter*)to the amount of
One Hundred Milllion ($100.000,000,00) Dollars ; Tins vttst sum to be d'wded
Shares of the value of Ten ($10.00) Dollars each, these shares to also be amaea
hi to' fractional partsof 1-10 of one share: These fractional parts to be• worth not
less than the par value of the whole certifficates, in proportion, or SI.OO each.
All of this vast amount of money is to be used in buying Cotton at a higher
nri-e than is now being paid for it. This cotton to remain in tins Company s
o,
the cotton plus cost of manufacturing the same into cloth goods.
We uronose to have Agents at cv’ry cotton buying center throughout the en
tire Southern States* oifsalaries. These Agents to buy from the farmers d.rect.
Thereby saving millions upon millions of dollars for the farmers that have
heretofore been loosing on account of this purchaser’s profit. Again we can
save millions of dollars that now goes out of the pockets of our farmers to pay
railroad charges lor hauling our cotton to Northern and Eastern nulls.
The selling of these goods to retailers di-iect would cause a saving to these
Southern people millions of doll ars annually.
Again there would be millions ot dollars that now go to the high salaried
officers of big factories in the North & East saved. Yet we propos to pay those
working in our factories proper even better wages than they now receive from
factries in the north and east.(This feature of our plan alone should sti miilate
thousands of labor organizations members to work for this Company).
Taken as a whole, we believe that this company with the large amount of
aid ths people (especially the farmers) will give, will prove to be the greatest
godsend the farmer* ot the south ever had; Because it will place directly'into
circulation among the people in the South .--.bout $500,000,000,00 annually.
Instead of only ‘250 millions as la the case at the present price of cotton.
Is this not well worth your serious consideration, and co-operation?
REMEMBER.—Tins Company is not to receive even one cent of profits.
All Drolits arising are to he divided among the cotton raisers in increased and
cash price for cotton. These profits going to onr very woithy farmers.
REMEMBER. —That any farmer or other person owning ns much as one
bale of cotton may subscribe for stock in this company; and it Is desired by
this company that each and every farmer take stock. Because, it is our
intention to buy cotton (ns far as possible) from those who contribute to this
company’s capital We also propose to to build factories with this money
and shall let the separate States and Cities compete for these factories.
The state offering tiie greatest inducements to this company securing
the erection of a very targe factory within its borders, winch will cost mo
than a million dollars at first. It "is our intention to honor each of our Sout
ern States With at least cue of these city building and labor furnishing; also
money distributing institutions. The city offering the greatest inducement
offered by the cities in the successful state secures the factory to be located in
s h Slate offering our company the greatest iu luccrtlents to build therein.
This is a matter deserving the attention, of the Rail roads b< Cause al' cotton
raised In each of thesstates will have to be hauled to the factory in tint state.

Company is greatly indebted for the kindness shown toward us*
VVlii'e we leave it to the People and the Press as to the future prospects of
Mir Company; we earnestly hope they will not do like the Atlanta Journal
did: call it a “vague scheeme” and then fail to make proper quotations from
our letter of the 28th ult- We trust that all newspapers that feel disposed
to help the farmers, and thereby help themselves will do us the justice which
is due ns. by quoting our letters verbatim-
Friends; we deetre to place oue question before you, and respectfully ask
for vour serious consideration as to which is wisest: To giveto Northern &
Eastern capitalists and mill men Millions upon millens of dollars annually for
whic h you teceivo absolutely nothing, other than arbitrary legislation? Or, to
donate vonr small mile to the Ten Cent Cotton Company whatever you can
in order to see that which the entire commercial world has looked for tuese
~,anv years viz: seeing Cotton sell at Ten (lOets) cents per pound; And then
run absolutely no risk in the same, because tho more people there are inter
es*od in this company the stronger it becomes; thereby guaranteeing its sure
siiccesst Wei< r li these questions w 11, if you arc not satisfied, just let us
know it perhaps we can convince you that now is the time for yoq to assist
us in defending what justly is ours but which we have not receiver, the ben

The Devil cannot be less merciful to men than they have been to eachotheiv

lIOMER. GA„ THURSDAY. DECEMBER 2, 187.
THE CYLINDRICAL, DALE.
Home and Farm publishes the first
full and exhaustive account 01 the
new machinery for rolling cylindiicnl
cotton bales.
It is impossible to 'ext'jgnrale lire
importance of this invention to the
cotton planters of the South. 1 bat
its relation to cotton planting may be
fullv shown, we give li detail a state
ment of the effect it will have on the
plantations and in the markets, fol
lowing it with a letter from Mr. Ed
ward Atkinson.
It is evident, we think, speaking
from the mechanical standpoint, that
this new invention is second only to
the invention of the cotton gin itself-
Ii is a direct blow to the protected
trusts that have been making cotton
ties, and to the various leaches that
have fastened themselves npon the
cotton business. It will saTO to the
planters thousands of dollars that are
now wasted in samples or destroyed
in transit. ,
All of this will be plain to ihc cot
planters, but there is one thing that
is hoi plain, And that is whether this
saving is to be “hogged’' by the in
venters, who control this machine, or
whether tt is to accrue to the plan
ter himself.
Bearing Upon this point we pub.
lish a letter from a lriend in North
Carolina, There has been among the
(armors’ organizations throughout the
South well grounded apprehension
that the syndicate controlling this
machinery propose not orb- to mo
nopolize the benefits that colhe from
this invention, but through it to se
cure for some great syndicate the con
trol of the great Southern crop.
This is a teature that at this time
deserves the Utmost attention from
the cuttoii planters. It set-ms that
the control of this machinery is in
the hands of a small syndicate; it will
not be difficult for the capitalists back
of it to organize for the control of a
large part of the cotton crop.
How this can best be prevented is
11 matter of first concern to the South -
ern people at thfs time. The cylin
drical bale appears to have come to
stay. It is without doubt a great
economy if it wcieopen to purcharers,
as in all other cotton machinery.
The value of it cannot be questioned,
but if it is to be controlled, as now
appears by a syndicate, with tbo pur
pose and the power to establish a raw j
cotton trust, toe c.otton planters of]
the South should lnTdeistand it ; -
once, and devise some moans of de
stroying the power of any such com
bination.—Home and Farm,
