About one hundred farmers as
sembled at the courthouse last
Saturday TO hold meeting Of the
Cotton Growers Association.
When we say farmers, we speak
advisedly, as that sturdy class pre-
dominated to such an extent as to
make it strictly farmers meet
ing. Merchants, bankers, and
other 'ttown fellers" were very con-
spicnouslgabsent.
But tho the attendance was
rather slim, the enthusiasm and
interest displayed should show
that there was determination on
the part of tile farmers to thor
oughly organize and stand to-
gether.
The meeting was called to order
at II o'clock by President f. E.
Stokes. Mr.. Stokes asked that he
should be permitted to resign the
presidency OF the organization, not
that his whole heart and soul was
not in the movement, but because
of defective hearing. Mr.. Thos. III.
Lewis at once arose and demurred,
insisting emphatically that the
Association could not for mo.
ment entertain Mr.. Stokes resign
alton; that he was the right ma.
in the right place; was not poll
tician, and could guide the desti-
nies of the organization better than
any other man In the parish.
Amidst a storm of applause. Mr..
Stokes consented to retain the
office.
Reports from various precincts
were heard, and all were unanim-
Gus in reporting that their respee-
tive sections would largely reduce
the cotton acreage.
Mr.. Lanclos, OF Leonville, said
that his section, one of the largest
cotton producing sections OF the
cotton belt, would reduce the acre
age almost 25 per cent. He said
the farmers over there did not use
fertilizers-did not need any.
Judge j.. II. Bergeron, of Mel
vile, assured the assembly that
the people Of his section would re-
duce the acreage from 10 to 20 per
cent. The same sentiment existed
in the Elba and Bayou Current
sections of the parish.
Garland reported thoroughly or
ganized, and set claim to being the
first precinct to organize. Stans-
bury, OF Dossmann, put in a
proGa pit denial to the contention OF
Garland, claiming that Dossmann,
was the first precinct to organize.
Few other precincts reported, and
it was evident that the old Empire

Parish Of the State was tagging be.
hind in this most vital move.

President Stokes made very
ardent talk at this iuncture, laying
special stress on the Importance of
immediate and strong organiza-
ton. "The Governor OF Mississippi
is today going all over his State,
organizing for this fight OF the
farmers for their just rights. He
is arousing enthusiasm everywhere
Mississippi is organizing. But
we of Louisiana are hard to wake
np-but it is time, high time, to
aWake-and [ am sure that when
they do awak, they will stay awake,
and work hard for the betterment
OF the present situation"
Mr.. Stokes was of the opinion
that unless the farmers organized
and put through the purposes of
the Cotton Growers Association,
the price of cotton next year might
fall as low as cents.
The inactivity of the precinct
organizers took up much of the
time OF the meeting, and the adj
visibility of dispensing with the
services of those appointed at the
last meeting was strongly urged.
However, it was decided to allow
them a chance to do the work that
is expected of them.

missioners a ruling and regulation which
will result in this information being fur

brought to the attention OF the Commits

written by Charles F. Cain Of 514h X

several alleys and a vacant lot near his
home and adjoining the Hayes School
were constantly filled with refuse Mr.
Stidham looked into the matter and an
investigation of the books of the District
surveyor discovered that the alley is pub
lie property. 1t was not listed as such by
