It will be the making of this section of country and will thoroughly devel op it with the leading markets of Northeast Georgia. An Insult,. The gratuitous insult being of fered lo Ihe Alliance by certain} parties, that toe alliance is encour-1 aging its members not to pay their I debts, is false in every point and j ought to be effectually resented by ’ every true allianceman. “Because, forsooth, we say “do not rush your cotton to market,” we must be accused of opposition to honest payment ot debts. Those do tiers who are having their circu lars, iii which they advise early sale of cotton, extensively publish ed, are directly interested in the .purchase of cotton and of course it ; is to their interest to buy it as low ias possible. The farmer wants his | cotton lo bring a good price. Of J course this is contrary to fho inter est of the buyer and lie wants to ; force early sales bv saying the far mer is morally bound to sell Iris • A ' cotton as soon .\s it can be picked and ginnevl. There are no obliga tions maturing before October and most of them on October i 5t i and Nov. Ist. Yv 1 1 ; i our Na I ion r ICo t - ton Committee says ; ‘s di no cotton in September*’ they mean every word of if and h yve the best of rea son for it. If any one claims that this smells of dishonesty, it is be cause the gambler lias a no - rrhich is only uso to such odors ami can't recognize any other. There are tvo sides to every question and if the farmers want to have a little to say about the price of l heir cot ton this season, it is no more than their right. They certainly had in voice in pricing the goods they have bought, cn time or tho guano they have foolishly signed away their manhood for, or the money they borrowed with all the inter est the law allowed added on and -i heavy discount, which the law did not allow taken off. No, they had no voice in all these matters for they veers in a light and the wor.-t kind of a tight at that. Now the merchant, the guano dealer, the banker ami ihe warehousemen have their obligations fer these things an i lie obligation includes all the profits which could ie tacked onto whai the fanner pot. Is he morally bound 10 rush Lis cettoa into market and sell is for less t: an the cost of production simply to gpalify the dealers, when ho knows that such folly, would leave him ia debt? Is it not Lis duty 10 get ali he can for his cotton? If by bolding ir for awhile ho can realize more mon ey for it and t o able to par oif his debt and be freo, is it not bis duly to do bo? Farmers have been working while other men did their thinking for them until limy have about run out and have deiermined to not only do their own woifc, but their own thinking too, * * * # * ♦ ■ Wu* simply have to say to those who jroposa to comment upon the pci hy of the alliance that our order is de votod to honesty and justice.
