Are You Getting Scared?
If you aro not trembling in yonr
shoes about the falling prices of cot
ton, the cotton manipulators have
missed their aire? These shrewd spec
ulators HM? ?V:!? judges ot' haman na
ture , to start with, and their long,
successful career in monkeying with
silly cotton farmers havo taught them
how to deceive the farmer on one
plan this time and then another differ
ent plan at another time.
About this time last year these cot
ton speculators were playing a fine
winning garue with guano tags, nnd
were scaling the cotton out of the far
mers7 nanda right along at 74 cents,
while his plucky neighbors were hold
ing on to theirs for 10 cents but many
of them done half a cent better.
Now the difference in the farmers1
prices and the prices Bet by the buy
ers of today is not near BO great as it
was 'last season, and the demand is
better .today and the surplus not so
large no last year at this time, and
wheo we thiuk of all these favorable
conditions We are at a complete loss to
account for the reasons for some far
mers selling a present prices.

and pay up your dues promptly, or the

The dues are very extremely small
to each individual member, but tho
aggregate sum ia sufficient to support
the organization if all. will pay up

less wo support aur organization!

South Carolina Made Too Much Cotton.
ii io' sow an established fact'that
South Carolina farmers made too much
cotton. Beyond doubt a large .per
cont of her best farmers have reduced
their acreage last season; but did they
lap book into the remaining acreage
tho fertilisers cud labor and have gone
ahead' and produced a crop about as
large, as our largest? Those significant
figures have caused Texas farmers to
revolt, and there ia now a movement
on foot there that 1t ia teared will ter*

bales this year. TB. 8. Fetors, the last
