Southern Cotton Association Has
Done Much for the South and

Done Much for the South n
Deserves Support.
TO the % lttor OF tthe State:
l am just in receipt OF a letter from
one OF our most prominent farmers in
South Carolina which reads as fol
lows:
To The Southern Cotton Association,
Columbia, s. O.
Gentlemen: Made yesterday first
sale of this years cotton q lot OF
200 bales at IL ! 8 cents per pound. i
congratulate the association and here.
with enclose q caeck for q part of the
one. eighth, $50 to help on the good
cause. / am
Very respectfully,
r. NJ. PEauEs.
Kollock, S. O.
l wish MI. Editor, just at this time
to say that the Southern Cotton as.
ISOLATION has reached a point in It's
p.ogr SO that 1T will require q great
deal of knowledge and tRct to steer
the old boat on for timo to come. I,
as It's treasurer of the South Carolina
division, am in touch with every Sec
i tiOn OF this State rs we'll as other
southern states. AS I have said be
fore, 1t will require a great deal Of
money to perfect this organization.
What the association has accomplish.
ed up to this time Is simply marvel.
Gus and the world stands aghast and
is saying now: What will be the
out come of this organic tion ?"
Every civilized nation has It's eyes
turned upon the south, though that
Is not surprising when we realise the
fact that the few southern States
produce at least rs per cent Of the
clothing OF the world.
If the asst citation with a Ia, 900, 600
bale crop staring us In the face when
tkey claimed that H., 600. 900 was all
that the world could consume, could
place cotton from 6 cents to 10 |
cents per pound, then when cotton
dropped below 10 cents the association
came to the front and SAID. Farmers,
hold your cotton for IL CO nts and you
Will get It," ought 1t not be sufficient
evidence to every "doubting Thomas
tha6 the association can, will and has
accomplished O. great deal for the
south, and l do not hesitate to predict
that his Is only the beginning in one
sense of the organization.
L have implicit confidence in our
p, vple and as soon as they real'zs the
fact what this association Is dong fol
them, they will not hesittates to put
their time and money into the work
and when they do that, we will then
have the strongest organization evel
organized by man, especially when
they realiz, the fact that If we con.
troll q staple which produces from
year to year 5000, 600, 600 to 800, 600.
600, then we can begin to realize what
a stupendous undertaking, aud no one
can predict the outcome or the untold
amount Of wealth that will accomu-
late In our southern land.
When we once succeed in get.
ting the cotton growers and the cot.
ton MANUFACTURERS to stand hand fl
hand WitN q mutual understanding as
TO what price shall be in o. der to dc
away with fluctuations and have g
staple price, Then those OF US llv. t(
see 1t, and l believe 1t IS In the neal
future when gu IN q condition will ex.
ist you will see every cotton patch IL
ths south double in value, you vii
see new homes take the place Of Ole
ones, you will soc new church s, schoo
houses and colleges springing up every
where and we viii be tho richest and
most prosperous people on earth.
No~, Mr.. F!ltor, what l want tt
see is farmare, merchants, bAn.
kers and thQsc NJ evory av C .tion In
the south to take an interest In thi,
movement and small contributions q
each will complete the orgaIiz .tior
and will not aft CT any other Iegiti
mate line Of busilcss and by so doing
as | have said, We will be the most
independent people Gu earth.
We expect to h>va q meeting Of tbs
county presid ants at the Southern Cot
ton ASSOCIATE, n .nicc tomorrow and
hope that VIZ will have a good attend.
ALICE.
