KJFWfrASATtON
AND SUGGESTIONS.
The Journal ventures to offer a
unggestion to the cotton producers of
the Southern country; We do this in
a most humble manner; ber a ;se we
do not wish to appear in 'he least as
n dictator of the private affairs of any
person, and would not even if it were,
within our power, even try to direct
them But kind friends! Owing to
the fact that this Journal was the
very first paper in the United States
to agitate the plans of The Ten Cent
Cotton ,Company—which is now the
topic of millions upon millions of con
vernations throughout this immense
country, and as this very much talked
subject is one that our people are all
interested in—to know the starting
point of this gigantic undertaking for
benefit of our Southern country and
its large number of hard working and
most terribly oppressed people. We
feel from a senge of duty now due to
them; To gay through these column
that The Ten Cent Cotton Company's
'plan for the amelioration of our race
first made it> appearance in the mind
of the young and almost inexperien
ced editor of this Journal, who at first
was afraid it would not meet with the
instant and general hearty approval of
the masses ot our free thinking ami
extensive reading farmers; hence he
did not let it be known at first exactly
where-the-idea originated.
Put, thanks Lc unto the God who
rules over us all, He placed this plan
in my mind and immediately caused
itio be published to the world through
these coluras; hence it made its first
btiblic appearance on October 28th
last.
The plan has already been partially
re published by some of our most wide
awake newspapers, and it is gratify
ing indeed to know that our plan has
become so widely known so quickly,
and that it is being approved by every
one who has seen it. And that it is
tire best that lias yet been presented
is clearly shown within itself- and m
statements of others, who we doubt
has seen the entire plan as outlined
by the author of the same; But, who,
when thev have seen the plan itself
Will be a hundred times more favor
ably impressed wiili our plan, and we
feel safe in advising all of our far
mers to hold their Cotton just as long
as you can jo sibly do so; and if we
do not become strong enough t this
year we feel safe in saying that our
goed woik will have its effect oil the
markets this year to such an extent
that cotton will be much higher.
This plan is becoming so widely
known as a result of the hearty co-op
eration of our brother Editors, that
i can not close without extending to
each and every one of them mv irost
heartfelt appreciation and greatest
qbanks for the kindness shown toward
this gigantic undertaking; We also,
wish to try to express our appreci -
ation of their good wishes for the
grand success that The Ten Cent
Colton Company so much deserves.
And while trusting that you will be
more than willing to continue to help
push such a grand anti noble cause up
the steep grade that it is upon, and
with the utmost assurance than you
will never have the slightest cause for
regretting having loaned a powerful
helping hand to one who has the
greatest pleasure in saying truthfully
that he has never wionged a person
to the value of anything knowingly,
and also in remaining

F K I E N 1) S>
Talk about your Government S.i
viugs Banks system if you wish to-
But let us say jvis* a few words for
Ten Cent Cotton Company which is
going light ahead helping our farmer
instead of robbing him Mike the Gov
ernment’s Savings Bauk system will
surely do if its promotors succed in
getting it starsed) we propose io sve
to it that he gets what is dne him for
his cotton crop, which is the result of
hard year’s work and outlay of his
hard earnsd cash.
We arc glad to see that there now
exists a company which has ventured
to organize the power that has lain
idle many years m the reach of our
southern people, and to completely
set aright the vast wrongs that have
been perpetarted upon, not only our
southern cotton raisers; hut upon the
entire laboring classes of the civil ized
world. This company, it is calculated,
will be composed of cotton planters
and other fanners and those that are
in sympathy with those who compose
tile very back bone of the com me r
ia! world; and are so interested that
they are willing to risk a few dollars
with a company ahat pledges itself to
treat everybody fairly; and absolutely
guarantees no loss to those that are
willing to tiy to benefit themselves by
making donations to The Ten Cent
Cotton Company of HOMER, GA.
There is nothing now existing under
the snn itint will benefit the Amer
can people (especially the Cotton
planters and their tenants and their
families; as well as the Merchants and
other business concerns) as The Ten
Cent Cotton Company, Therefore, let
us forget to talk high Protective and
Trust benefiting Tariffs; and Free
and unlimited coinage of Silver at the
ratio of 10 to 1 of Gold, and" such like
nonsensical topics, and then .go hard
at weak for something that can and
will-produce liappuessand prosperity
throughout the entire land. Because
these tariff and money issues cannot
and will NOT benefit the laboring,
farming and poorer classes until we
manage to compel tl ose who have an
enormouß amount of capital stored a
way in vaults throughout the United
States and principally in such centers
as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston, Cincinnati ami other large
cities. But remember that we must
not resort to violence; T.eat them
kindly and say to them “you have
for many years treated us like dogs,
and von have grown immensely rich
during the past, and we could not in
any wsy see how we could overcome
your terrible oppressing power, with
out an awful shcwei of blood from a
million or more of both, the people of
the North and the South.” But now.
thanks be unto God; there is still one
way -only- left for us to again coine
into posession of that which you have
very wrongfully been taking from us;
and now we ‘propose to go at it very
slowly that we may surely succeed
with our object quickly,” and again
have what belongs to us.
That we caunot get law making
officers that are able to stand firm e
nough upon their own honest convic
tions long enough to assist in passing
laws that would benefit the masses and
not the classes has for many long and
weary-some years been only entirely
and unexcusably too plainly demon
attrted. Therefore, friends, there is
a plan that will set all this trouble a
tight; the plnn to be carried out is a
most splendid or.e and is the only one
by which ihe awful conditions of the
poorer classes can be peacabiy bet
tered all over the world.
PRESENT GREAT TROUBLE,
is on account of the almost undispnte
able fact that those that lia\e money
with which to operate the largo and
rapidly growing and absolutely neces
sary business of the entire world are
now trying and have been trying to
transact the large amount of business
with too small amounts of money; it
then ofiourse follower, that wages had
to be reduced in order to always be
able to show large cash balances in
the locked vaults of the Banks; which
places this money out of circulation;
and where it does absolutely nobody
any good.
THE ONLY REMEDY,
by which these great evils can easily
be set right is by compelling these j
people who keep their money in vaults
to pay it oat for the necessaries < f
life and make them nay hi ;h< . wages
for all classes of work and for good*.
TIS NOTH NG NEW.
For everybody has for years known
that prosperity would immediately fol
low the placing of these large sums
of idle money Into circulation. But
the great question for our consider
ation has been; How can we get that
money out and in toefirewfatfow? ??
RiGHT ANSWER.
Here is where we claVmVhnt. by
The TfCN CENT COTTON Co’s.,
EXTENSIVE HI,AN OF
SMALL DONATIONS
by the farmers and their friends, this
great, big draught on the Banks wi‘]
place that money into circulation at
ihe rapid rale tf stout fifty ($ 50.00)
dollars for each hale of Cotton, or a
bout $500,000,000,00 annnally instead
of only about 250 millions as lit tht
present low (finest) price of cotton.
You doubtless ask how van this be
done? We answer by saying that it is
now being done Decause the Ten
Cent Colton Company now has some
of flu's year’s cotton in the warehouse
for which it paid Ten Cents per
pound by the hales; This Colton is
to remain in their hands until higher
prices prevail. We confidently be
lieve that cotton will he selling atlovcr
tne country; and if the people are in
terested in their own behalf enougn to
assist now, at a time when help is
most needed we know full well that it
will reach ten or more cants a pound
this year throughout the south, and it
will remain at that price if toe Ten
cent cotton company causes general
rise in prices; because one of the main
objects ol the'leu cent cotton com
pany is that of setting a perm an put
yet very liberal price upon our large
and most important American pro
duction; thrt of Cotton. And there
by putting a stop tt such outrageous
and absolutely unnecessary specula
tion and fluctuations in the price of
such an important crop which is a
production ol the most oppressed and
by fur the most important classes of
our would be Free American people;
but, who, we are sorry to snv are now
marching headlong into the Worst of
Slavery that the Sun ever shone on.
Friends, and Countrymen:- Are
we to simply rest upon our oars, and
let the winds that originate in those
tenible Cotton Exchanges and those
Cotton Combinations leader’s offices
which arc carried instantly all over
tins land by Electricity upon wires
that arc owned by one Df these vast
rnd powerful combinations of grea:
wealth; carry us by the hundeds of
thousands upon a shore that is bound
to* brodtice sure and utter financial
and moral ruin? Or are we to come to
gether (\Ye have ihe advantage of
the entire world iu as much as we are
the producers of the “King of all toe
productions of this earth, Cotton” and
can by union of the powers that now
lay dorment in those that raise the
king itself, compel the entire world
to he more than ready-, willing and
anxious to respect the farming class of
(lie southern cotton raising country,
and to pay them foa their products in
something like a reasonable propor
tional gain o> er the outlay that is ab
solutely necessary for the production
of our vast crop of cotton; Which has
for many years been tlie means by
which the millions of people have re
ceived a livelihood.
There is one Company now started
with its operations upon the Colton
business of the world, which we are
more than confident is sure to cause a
most wide spread change in the ever
changing price of Cotton that has
ever yet been known about Cotton
prices and for the improvement of the
conditions of the farming class of onr
most favored country under heaven.
Therefore we can only trust that a
vast number of the most, sensible of
our farmers will .-eo that The Ten
Cent Cotton Company is the truest
and most powerful friend that has
ever risen for the uplifting of the peo
ple out of slavery surii ns has never
yet been equalled in the history of
the world, And we defy any jerson
to say that the people who reside in
the Cotton producing portion of the
United States of America, are not at
the present time the most complely
at the mercy of the combined wealth
of the North and East than any other
ptople upon the top side of Earth.
We further defy the press of this
con try to set forth even one good
sound truthful reason why the plans
of The Ten Cent (Jetton Company, if
successfully carried out, would not be
the means of doing the greatest am*
ountofgood .for the greatest lumber
of our American people than anv
Company that ever existed in the IT
nited States of America has yet done.
‘‘Justice injures none, though it
may shut off the privileges of rob

settle the problem lawfully, not as

more of country than of party, and
more of justice than of the king’s
gold.”

The Anr.orijan Cos. .on Company
wear* it* character upon Us face and
the contradiction of its benevolent
purpose is written in letters too
clear to be mis-read by even the
most casual observer. It is the trap
of monopoly unikillfully set lor ig
norance, baited with promises im
possible of fulfillment, Unwarranted
bv common sense and unsecured by
end adequate pledge; it is not do
signed to entrap shrewd business men
of the world, mid its Maehiavelian
suggestions aVe not addressed to the
bankers and brokers of Wall Street.
| it prefers for its prey the ginner and
planter whose w.tys of life and hub
its of thought do not lead them to
close scrutiny of every business prop
osition, who have not been accus
tomed to live by their wits and arc
not on guard against those whose
trade it is to fleece their iresehbdr
and take the coats from their backs
with a suavity of speech and manner
that suggests an unctrous benedic
tion. Bet in this benevolent pre
tense the projectors of the company
have net* 1 the part of Sir (jilea Over
reach the play; they haVe reckoned
too confidently without their ' host;
have presumed a trifle too far on the
innocence and credulity of their
chosen victims; the fangs of the
wolf have protruded all too formid
ably from beneath the ill filling dis
guise and revealed in all its monstrous
proportions the hideous Shape and
form of Monopoly; that itnplicable
govgon of latter day business, tbe foe
of individual enterprise, the idiglit of
industry the despoiler of the weak;
and the curse of the laud that it
afflicts.
l>'y lair promise they nope to De
guile the innocent into their power
and then to throttle them without
mercy; but their processes have been
very awkward and their purposes Hot
skillfully concealed and for these
reasons it will not be difficult to
meet and repel the enemy that is
seeking to despul us. It is only
necessary to pass the cry of “wolf’*
along the line and every community
in the South (will; be on guard.
That is the business of the American
Ginner; that is What it is here for.
and that is the alarm that it now
raises.
Wc declare that we perceive be
Death the fair promise of the Amer
ican Cotton Company the most seri
ous danger that lias eve:* yel threat
ened the cotton industry of the South
in all of its phases and we soleinny
assert that if the purposes of this
gigantic monopoly are constlmated
the business of the Southern ginner
will be gone forever and a merciless
thaldron will be fastened perpetually
upon the cotton grower; gin manu
factu*e will be curtailed; every com
press closed and labor will find such
work and such Wages as the trust
may decide is good for it.
Is it possible for organized capital
to accomplish such a work of desola
tion? Can money enough he found
to control the cot.ton crop of America?
Is not the undertaking too stupendu
ous for men to venture upon? Let
us see. The petroleum products of
the country amount to about SO3-
000,000; are not they controlled bv a
single company? The ilnports of
sugar are about $125,000,000; who
controls tins market? The value of
the cotton Ci op.is, say #250,000,000,
the world is bound to have it ut any
price. If these combination can bn
made profiable for petroleum, sugar
and other' products, what is there,
save the resistance of the cotton
grower, to prevent the passing of the
cotton crop into the hands of the
nu iopoly? Twenty Vtnrs ago such
accomplishments of combined capital
as arc now matters of course, would
have been deemed absolutely imprac
ticable; but the world moves, money
has discovered a power hitherto tin*
dreamed of; it has tried its strength
on seemingly impossible tasks and
found them easy; it has gone from
one great task to a greater still with
perfect confidence and with some
thing akin to the severity of omnip
otence; this American Cotton Com
pany is its last and most gigantic
undertaking and it is not afraid ot
the venture, if only its marked and
numbered victims do not take alarm
before the trap is sprung.
Can the money be found for ii?
Nothing would be wrapler tbau tnat;
the world must have tile American
c tton crop, it cannot do without it,
it, has no formidable competition on
earth and none can be created.
The promise of a monopoly of a
world necessity like this would tempt
money from the purse of the most
niggardly miser that ever conned Lis
gol leu pihees, shivering at the
thought of parting with them; it
would tempt the most thoughtless
spendthrift to cast an anchor 10 the
windward in this direction and the
natural desire of capital ci e ywh< re

tain and generous returns. The
money could easily be hail. 1 iit
only obstacle would be ip the resis
tance ol those who are marked for
tbe slaughter and it is to quicken
this resistance that wo sound the
alarm,
As we have already said, the dis
guise of the trust has not been skill
fully designed. To use the phrase of
the street, “it has given Itself away,”
and can no longer hope Vo deceive any
one as to its ultimate aims and pur
poses. It proposes if unopposed to get
control of the cotton crop of the South,
as the Standard Oil Company controls
the oil fields of the country; it will be
the ohly market in which cotton can
be sold, its prints must be accepted or
none at all; it will gradually get mort
gages and t hen oWherships upon lands ;
it will fi- aii ofodUCtion of the staple
and the price of the labor expended
therein ; it get into polities and control
the destinies of counties and ot States;
it will be the most ruthless because ti e
most gigantic and powerful monopoly
on earth
Knowing these things, foreseeing so
closely the consequences of non-resis
tance to the monopoly, realizing what
must be the penalty of acquiescence in
the round bale proposition will the
farmers of the South cobsebt to place
their necks under the Velvet lined yoke
prepared for them?
We think not. The temtations are
not alluring enough to induce our peo
ple to consent to such slavery as this;
the methods of the trust are too awk
ward, their pretences too specious to
deceive an intelligent constituency and
thanks to a free : :id unput’fthable press,
the sinister designs of this latest and
most formidable manifestation of mo
nopoly are being exposed and denouned
all over the land. Happily the trust is
not making rapid progress; but it is per

Dear Sir:— I saw an article from

Colton. I think it is a move in the
right direction; and the farmers of my
section are very much in favor of the
move. As lo my mind, the scheme
c.in be worked like a charm.
Trusts and Combines have beCuine
so fatal to the farming until protection
is very necessary; and I think toe
plans that have been advised are the
proper step, and why not Mississippi,
Georgia all the rest of the Southern
stntes unite and say “we ftte going to
have ten cents for our Splton.
I would be glad to be belter informed
about the matter; and when the Com

be employed by tbe company, as I
feel interested and knowing too that I
can work it Up from start to finish.

Hot* to pneumonia.
At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some r liable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it
quite extensively and it has always
given entire satisfaction.— -Olagiih, Ind.
Ter. Chief.
This i the only remedy that is

a single case having .resulted in pneu

We desire to gently remind out
Brother Editor of The Fayetteville
News of the well known fact that he
nor no other man can succe and With aft
attempt to get the farmers of any par
ticnlar county or small section to
come together and stay together upon
snv plan that is to be governed (as is
his idea in running his County Cotton
factories) because t ie ambition of tho
most influential person in such small
territory will invariably cause a most
unbusinesslike policy and system of
management to be Attempted? and of
course llie result would be a general
1 iggerlieading among those interested
and finally a permanent shut ofewh
of the entire plant. No, Brother
Toney youi plan is impracticable lor
many reasons, which are very plainly
visible to the average student among
our propla and they are 100 numerous
to meuiion just yet.
In solving this cotton question wC
must r.ol forget that our emeiny has
for its field for operation the whole
world; therefore, we must not take in
to consideration Mnallor territories
than each of onr Southern States;
and let us say right here that this is
one of the principal reasons that very
nearly everything that is started for
the benefit of onr farmers Is usually
torn to atoms because such and Mich
concern will not y*'id to the desires
of a mere hamlfull of people.
With such actions by the pre-s and
