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.

NO. 110 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 some state for the proser 'wiion of the human family.” »* ppa ’speakers wide ranch of ghiarva tion and his travels'in ; pakaif of the organition all o' ,enitia: o tinent,. gavehim o' sgrtunity to give some instru stive: informa tion. e g i The meeting | ghough attended by less than'*" gag e gpécted, how ever was mtisfactory.
