The firgt annual meeting Of the Alabama

dent and J. q. Sullivan as Secretary.
Today's meeting Is to complete the orr
ganization began June 10th.
The organization Ia the result of the
indefatieable industry of @. c. Hanson
of Atlanta, President of the Southeastern
Compress Association.
Mr.. Hanson IL largely interested In GIN
ming property In Alsbaba and Georgia. A
need of unity Of action among the GIN
ners OF the two States presented itself 70
his mind, and he started agitation that
has resulted In a strong organization Of
the ginners in each State, for their mu-
tual benefit
The object of the ginners Is the inter-
change of ideas and opinions as 10 the
best method OF ginning and baling cot
ton, not with view Of promoting tndi-
vidual Interest, but with a view of pro-
noting the interest of all ginners OF the
state.
As explained In the constitution. 'ths
objects of this association are. TO bring
into closer touch all who are engaged In
the ginning businezs; the Interchange OF
ideas and opinio7n as to the best methods
of ginning and baling cotton, with the
view of promoting the interests OF Its
e.nr avaA ftsr4 a~ N nf9nt~
ers and farmers the great Importance OF
properly taking care of their cotton from
the time 1t 10 picked until finally sold,
cooperating with them In all matters
calculated to promote their interest IN

II In estimated that there are 1900 GIN
fers in Alabama. Personal letters and
circulars setting forth the objects and
purposes Of the organization have been
sent to all of them. A rate OF one fare
for the round trip has been secured for
the glnners by President Tennille and

Mr.. Hanson and his secretary. ]. @.
Sullivan. reached the city Sunday and
opened headquarters at the Exchange.
They were busted all OF yesterday ar
ranging the details for the meeting to-
day and receiving callers.
Mr.. Hansen when seen a. his room
at the Exchange yesterday was enfhusi-;
actic over the prospects, for the meet
~ expect" said he. about 800 GIN
ners will attend. / have received letters
from over 200 ginners assuring me OF their
Intention Of attending the meeting. The
advantages of the organization cannot be
overestimated. A ginner, as rule mas
been or Ia a successful farmer, other
wise he would not own a gin costing from
5000 10 $4,000. according to the capacity
of the plant He comes In contact with
the people--the intelligent and most In
fiuential men in the community.
There are In Alabama about 1000 gins
worth about $780, 900. The ginners up
to the meeting on the Goth OF June had
no organization. The benefits ofsthe
Organization are readily seen when II Is
appreciated that 1t Is composed OF men
representing so much valuable property.
The organization composed as 1t Is OF
some four thousand men scattered around
over each and every county OF the state
could easily be cumbersome, but l do not
aDDfenenu IIfdb ~ Will i've N~~AA -
placed in charge Of AFFAIRS who VIII give
their offices the necessary time ana at
tention."
It was originally intended thatathe
meeting should be held in the Council
Chamber, but larger place had 70 ne
secured on account of the large atten-
dance. Upon the request Of Mr.. Hanson,
