The cause is namely: It cost too much money to carry a bale of cotton away from the railroad, then have to haul it back. Thep resent cost is as fol- fcSB Sample at present price 50 Hauling to Warehouse 10 From Warehouse back to railroad .16 Warehouse charges 56 Total $1.30 Kind friends who pays this? Lis ten! you pay it. If this was all I would stop and say no more, but it cost 3 days time on account of poor service to get your bale of cotton' out of the warehouse on account of the scarcity of labor, as on account of the warehouses being full it takes four men to get a bale picked up and out of a pie!. I say cut it out. I will weigh, class and put your cotton f. o. b. the G. S. & F. Railroad for sixty jents per bale against $1.30 it is flow costing you. A saving of one-eight of a cent per pound, not only this, but I will save you three day’s interest as well as loss in weight for this time to the buyer. Friends: I know the cotton busi ness and am telling you facts this you cannot deny, and more, I will not keep you waiting all day to sell your cotton. I will operate a free automo bile to carry you and the buyers twice a day at 9:30 a. m. and 3 p. m., these will fcem y principle-sales hours as it is after the opening and close of the contract markets. Remember I will not buy your cot ton unless you so desire then I will resell it to the first buyer that comes unless the marketc hanges, at the samep rice paid for it. I will make sixty cents a bale without ever samp ling and underweighing and save you time and interest. This is tho time to cut out all ex tra expenses and handle your crops to the best advantage to your coun try and yourself. Do not expose this the South’s greatest crop to the rain to rot. I will house and protect every bale of cotton I weigh. September 9, 19X8. 8t D. B. THOMPSON. .COLORED MEETING There was a meeting at the C. M.
