THE DANBURY REPORTER ,UME XXXIX. SQLIDEWELL CALLS [ ON UNION MEN TO STAND FIRM m # ■WHY FALTER BY THE WAY JUST AS VICTORY ' SEEMS SURE-FULL ATTENDANCE DESIRED AT MEETING ON THE 27TH. To the Stockholders of the Stokes County Union Warehouse Company, and the Members of the Union at Large : Dear brethren : A meeting of the Farmers' Union of Stokes Coun ty has been called to meet in Danbury on Satur day, May 27th, 1911.1 wish again to call to the atten tion of my brethren of the Union the importance of this meeting. By all means let all the locals be fully represented at this meeting. The Union has Itched the point in its progress and organization lere it can be of great service to the farmers wided it is kept in control of those really interest in the uplift of our people. During the year 1910 the writer visited the nation meeting of the Union and several State meetings, id investigated the methods of the Union people the States and teritories. The result of those eetings last year, and the conferences among ose interested in this movement was an agree ent entered into by the different organizations to ol the tobacco crop of 1911. This agreement was ade in good faith. The organization in this State id the local county organizations are morally j bound by this agreement. This agreement was made after a careful study of methods elsewhere, and as a result of the wisdom of the best men in our Union. It was agreed not only that we should pool the crop this year, but that each organization should put a man in the field soliciting the farmers to pool their crop. Following this agreement with the larger organizations and after due consideration by our people in this county, we decided to invest Qur hard earned money in a drying plant and pool * our crop. The result of this agrement, to which all members in the county agreed, we have in Wal nut Cove a magnificent plant fully equipped for drying and storing tobacco. This has been made possible by farmers' money, and by farmers' fidelity to their own cause. It is to them, I appeal. I have sufficient confidence in the Union men of this county, in their courage and fidelity to the cause to believe that this agreement to pool [ the crop was made in good faith, and that it will i be observed to the letter. \i Why falter by the way just as victory seems sure, fln this forward march for victory let no soldier turn f upon a comrade and desert the ranks. This is a f light for our very existence, upon its success de pends the future prosperity of our people. To falter now in face of the enemies' guns is surrendering the L battle and brethren we are not cowards. | One year ago when we started the drying plan all were enthusiastic. It was fully discussed then and 'agreed upon. It was accepted as the only means \ to control our prices. Why should we grow faint .now, and begin again to discuss the advisibillty of rNiliis plan ? No man ever won a victory by contin ually discussing plans. It takes united action to L Having spent my life upon the farm toiling by f day and night for livelihood and having felt the luting of poverty in spite of honest toil, and having j§JM*n my brother farmers fail for the want of equal nipportunity, I havv enlisted in this effort to place ourselves where we can control our prioes and •njoy our independence. 1 appeal to the Union mfen of this county to rally ypound the cause which we have undertaken.
