FARMERS MEETING AT
COURT HOUSE A SUGGESS
Prominent Men Make Addresses
| Saturday president Chas. S.
‘Bai‘rett of the National Farmers
Union and J. J. Brown, president
’of the State Farmers Union spent
the day in the city-in the interest
of the Farmers Union in general
and to speak to the people of Ben
Hill county on the State Ware
‘house bilt, urged by the Farmers
Union as one means to protect
the growers against the evils of
the present crop marketing
system. Messrs, Barrett and
Brown were met at the Hotel by
Mr. W. R. Bowen, C. A. New
comer and the Editor of the
Leader Enterprise and escorted
to the courthouse. ‘An interest
ed audience assembled there
listened to a short address by
Mr. Bowen on the neccesity for
greater intelligence on the part
of the southern cotton growers!
in marketing their cotton and.
outlining in a few words the
partial remedy at hand through
the ready co-operation of thei
Federal reserve banks with the
National banks in the cotton belt. I
Mr. Bowen’s remarks were given |
close_attention. President J. J. l
Brown of the State Union was
then introduced by A. J. Sword,’
a member of the Ben Hill county
Union and the speaker soon con-l
vinced his hearers that the!
Union’s plans ' comprise the 'en-l
tire list of economic remedies for
‘which the lawmakers of the‘
iState and Nation have for yex:\rsi
been petitioned and exhorted
with but little direct result,
'according to the speakers view.
; Among the remedies proposed
for the betterment of farm con
ditions, was the Torrens Land
title registration .bill, needed in
Georgia before a rural credit law
could hope to giverelieve; stand'-‘i
ardizing cotton warehouses a‘ndl
validating warehouse receipts, so i
that they could be used in thel
money: markets as security for
money at a lower rate of in
terest; better and more direct
co-operation on the part of the‘
farmer with the banker and busi
nessman of his market city;
greater confidence in their lead
ers and rehabilitation of the
Union in Georgia. Mr. Brown

ir was accorded the closest atten
tion and the applause that greet
! ed his last words fully showed the
-audience’s appreciation of his
'statements. President Chas. 8.
(Barrett of the National Union
followed the speaker, but as the
ltime was short, confined himself
to a general review of the work of
the national legislative committee
‘of the Union and the difficulties
that have confronted them
!through theapathy of the leaders
‘of the southern representatives
iand the administration. = Mr.
Barrett spoke of the efforts made
by the leaders of the Farmers
Union to secure national aid dur
ing the lean months of the first
year of the European war, when
the South lay prostrate and need- -
ed help. ‘‘For reasons that we
c.uld not fathom, the govern
ment met our appeals with
sympathy but no action, though
we tried to show them that in
the precedent made by the
Government since the civil war,
in lending money to the dis- -
tilleries on warehouse receipts
for whiskey in bonded ware
houses, it should be possible for a
similar relieve be extended te
the farmers for the protection of
the cotton crop.”’ We bave .
found however, “said Mr. Bar
rett,”’ that_the provision to lend .
money on grain, with thetk~ .
smashed out of it, was not lef_ ;jlg
possible in its sound and v fhole
