Because of its length and because
many of Its points have already beer
printed, we do not feel justified In re-
producing the letter In full; but con.
tent ourselves with quoting a few Of
the more important policies.
In speaking Of the relation of ths
association with other business inter.
ests, Mr.. Jordan says: -"
= 1.-The association does not propose
and will not antagonize any, Legitimate
line Of business or industry carried
on In the south, but on the contrary
its best energies will be directed along
the lines Of a higher development OF
agriculture, more extended building o1
factories, wider development Of oul
commerce and increasing our financial
strength. These are the Fundamental
underlying principles OF the Southern
Cotton association, and In that work

ton Of the entire agricultural, COM
mercial and financial strength Of the
SOUTH"
Get together and stick together
says President Jordan, and he con-
cludes as follows:
"The Southern Cotton association
will gladly. cooperate with all allied
organizations seeking to advance and
promote the general welfare. of the
farmers in particular and the busi-
ness interests Of the south In
general. 1t will antagonize only those
interests antagonistic to the gem
eral welfare of our people. The South
ern Cotton association expects to have
membership of two million earnest,
active workers before the end OF the
present year, and through Its broad
yet compact business policies, abso-
lutely protect and safeguard the fu-
ture prosperity Of our 100000 popu-
lation. There should be no antagon-
ism from any quarter among our own
people, but let us work In harmony
for a common cause and for q COM
mon purpose.
For detailed information write to
the secretary Of your state division or
to the secretary Of the Southern Cot
ton association, Richard Cheatham,
921 Empire Building, Atlanta, Ga. In
unity there Is strength; in division
there is disaster. Let the new south
formulate its policies to successfully
meet the changed conditions inaugu-
rated through twentieth century meth
DDS. In the meantime, meet the pres
ent crisis which confronts us at this
time by heavily curtailing the cotton
acreage for 1905. diversity your crops
and raise your food supplies at home,
then all will be we'll from North Caro-
lima to the Rio Grande.
In conclusion let me impress upon
every man the high importance Of be-
coming at once member Of this asso-
citation and earnestly working for its
future success. It makes no difference
II you are a member of another organ
ization. We need your cooperation
and assistance. This Is a southern
movement that should at once appeal
to the endorsement and loyalty OF
every southern man." - sf = ., =. .
