ermelon but stopped with a friend
and they devoured it.
Uncle Billie Willoughby was in

quite a disappointment to a great
many.

J. C. Hughes, a progressive
young farmer of the Curmel com-
munity, drove into Olustee Tues-
day night about 10 o'clock with a
bale of seed cotton, and thus cap-
tured the prize for the first bale of
the season to lie brought to this
place. A purse of $31.25 was rais-
ed among the business men and
turued over to him for his trouble
in beating the other fellow here.
The gins had not yet started to
running and the cotton was left
with the Olustee Gin Co. to be
ginned Saturday, at which time
our local buyers will doubtless get
up quite a spirited contest for it.
The Farmers' Institute held at
Mangum the other week is said to
have been the best of its kind ever
held in the county. A good crowd
of representative farmers were pres-
ent and a free discussion was had
on a number of vital questions. It
was recommended that the price
for cotton pickers be uniform
throughout the county, and that
sixty cents per hundred be paid
until November: seventy-fixe cents
throughout November, and ninety
cents from' then until the crop
gathered. Every available effort
to get white labor was agreed upon
and industrous renters were invited
to come and help till our thous-
ands of idle acres.

Reed, O. T. Aug 18, '04.
Sun-Monitor: I see nothing
from these sand hills, but see so
much from other places, that it
makes me feel as though we are in
the wrong place, some times by
reading of the enormous cotton
crop that is to be gathered in
Greer county this fall
bound to believe that the cotton
crop in over rated the worst I ev-
er saw. You will find that when
Greer county gathers as much cot-
ton as she did last year the bal-
ance will be easy picked. Ten
thousaud cotton pickers would be
enough to pick all the cotton in
Oklahoma. I believe in advertis-
ing, but not on such a large scale.
If we need a few cotton pickers
why not send some one down into
Arkansas, southern Missouri, or
Texas, where we can get white
people? How much more will it
cost to ship white people bete
than it will negroes or some other
low, degraded class? It seems
that there is but little negro cotton
in this part. I believe that such
ads as appeared in your last weeks'
paper will have a tendency to hold
the price of cotton down. Of
course such ads may have a ten-
dency to bring speculators to
Greer, but do we need them? I
don't know of any land that laid
out this year, but it was cultivated
by poor men with families, instead
of being cultivated by hired labor.
Of course the poor man or woman
don't look good to some people,
but a man looks as good to me in
overalls as he does in broad cloth.
It is not a man's money that makes
him a worthy citizen. I know
that a wealthy man looks better to
the city dude than a poor ragged
farmer, but the farmer should keep
his eye on the town and keep his j
farm for it may be a long time be
fore he gets another.
