Pills, Powders and Capsules
Sometimes we need remedies other
than physics for the sick and it is
our opinion that the farmers are the
one class that need something just
now, so I am going to try and give
them a few doses that I believe will
be worth more to their system than
any ordinary tonic would be.
I have heard them kicking about
the cotton ginners report, but that
will not get them anything. You are
all, doubtless, acquainted with it in
substance if not in full, for it gives
to the world the monthly production
of your labor and an estimate of the
the next month’s elso, and addition
al estimates are made from time to
time until the manufacturer has at
his finger-tips, as it were, the entire
output of your labor long before you
begin to harvest it.
The manufacturer knows from
that report how* many bales there
are on hand from one year’s end to
the next.
One of our earliest recolection, was 1
the hue and cry of ‘overproduction,’
but we have never yet found out:
wh:v was a ‘normal production.’

Now, just what we w. nt to get at i
this. If it is just and fa r to have
the producers results and estimates
sent in and published monthly for
the benefit of the stock gamblers and
manufacturers, then why not com
pel the manufacturer to make a re
port similar to the ginners so that
you will know how much cotton was
consumed last month, this month
and how much on hand, what will
be the consumption next month, etc.,
Then the farmer and the cotton
buyer should demand that the govern
ment send out a monthly statement
of the manufacturers results and
then the over production howl that
is so insistently alluded to by the so
called friend of the farmer will have
but little weight.
Then Mr. Farmer, and then only,
will you be in position to inF digent
ly plan your crops so as to keep in
the bounds of the actual needs of
the manufacturer, and then you can
set the urice on your product. Still
: cannot help but think that you are
largely responsible for these condi
tions, as you are continually doing

‘Douglas, Georgia
! what you are cursing the law-makers,
compromising with your foe. It has
always been his custom to set the
pace, so to speak, and you try to fol
low not knowing what you are in
quest of or where your journey will
end.
Mr. Farmer next year is, as: you
know, the time for the election of
both county and state officers, and
; no doubt there will be an abundant
crop of candidates in the running
and don’t you think it would be a
good idea to look up the pedigree c f
them before pledging your support.
Now lets wake up and ask for what
we want and demand what is ours if
it should be refused, we could say
what the little boy did when he asked
' his papa to buy him a pop gun and
was refused, “I didn’t think you
would but I just wanted you to know
: I wanted it.”
