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 Yours fraternally Wam.ace Lamar Humes, Editor. Hanks County Journal And Manaokr of The Ten Cent Cotton Company. Dec 2nd 1897. HOMER, Ga. Mr. Mark Hanna with his large number of Millions of dollars and the hundreds of thousands of wire pull ing politicians that back him can not effect The Ten Cent Cotton Cos; of the South; Because it is not into politics neither is it being run by any act of politicians.

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 bers. Let us as citizens, solve and settle the problem lawfully, not as partisans, but ns citizens who think more of country than of party, and more of justice than of the king’s gold.” THK AMK RICAN COTTON .MTANV AND THK rIAXTEII, 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 ’ Corn responds readily to proper fer tilization. Larger crops, fuller ears and larger grain are sure to result f from a liberal use of fertilizers containing at least y% actual Potash Our books are free to farmers.

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.

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 pany sees tit to commence selling stock Certificates I would be glad to be employed by tbe company, as I feel interested and knowing too that I can work it Up from start to finish.

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 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 the people we can never accomplish anything toward bursting up the big combines who. when organized are always pulling together instead of every man trying to organize a little syndicate of his own.
