.'For the foregoing reasons, couples

For the foregoing reasons, coupled with the fact that the South Is in a position of greater independence than heretofore for the exercise of a sound discretion in marketing the coming crop. with means at hand for holding whatever cotton it may be considered desirable to keep off the market. my deliberate conclusion Is, that the South is abundantly able and ought to fix as the minimum price for the first move ment of this seasons cotton 10 cents pound
 By doing this our planters, mer- chants and bankers will be in posi- tion to get the benefit of any rise due to climatic or other conditions which may be developed while the crop is be- ing picked.

It Is the intention to have a member ship roll of 150 before the matter has ended.
 The organization of such a society has been in contemplation for some time, but there was no one to push 1t to a successful conclusion. The as- signment of MT.
