MEETING Of
COTTON GROWERS.
SPEECHES we're MADE BY MESSRS
WESTON, Smith and ELLERBE.

A representative crowd gath
cred in the court house Satur-
dav of last week to hear i'd
dresses by Mr. E D Smith OF
Magnolia, president of the State
Cotton Growers Association;
Mr. Frank H Weston of tOlum-
bia, secretary. and Hon j E Ell
lerbe of Marion county, repre-
sentative from the 9th district.
Mr. Weston, the first speaker,
in troduced by Nr j Davis Car
ter. the county chairman, who
presided over the meeting, re-
ferred to the necessity for the
cotton growers to organize and
commended the work of the con-
vention at New Orleans. Spoke
of movement to get cotton bags
used for fertilizers and told
what it would mean to the far
mer. Had been all over the
State and in every county had
been greeted by enthusiastic
crowds. Nature has given the
South a monopoly of cotton and
we should take advantage of it.
Mr. E D Smith said he propos-
ed to talk sense, not sentiment.
Laid stress upon the haphazard
methods of farmers and said
that the time had come to or
ganize. The Southern farmer
had it in his power to fix the
price of the staple. Mr. Smith
ridiculed the idea of foreign
competition and showed that by
intelligent cooperation the cot
ton growers of the South could
control the worlds supply.
Mr. Ellerbe closed the meeting
with a ringing appeal to the
farmers to stand together in
this movement. Recommended
the building of warehouses tc
store the surplus crop, but held
unless the acreage was reduced
warehouses would prove a pos
tive curse instead of a blessing
Read letter from W P Brown o.
New Orleans saying that unless
acreage was reduced no poo
would be formed to "buli' the
price of cotton. Reduction
should apply to all. All the
speakers were in good form and
full of enthusiasm, and each II
turn received liberal applause

Dear Sir: Here s something ,eVefy
painter and builder ought to know
Mr. j J Hall, Sheffield, Par.
painted two houses five years ago,
lead d-and.oil; took 40 gallons. Last
year he painted Devoe; bought 40
gallons; had 10 left.
He is one of thousands. The
knowledge is getting about pretty
generally, that Devoe goes further
than anything else.
Have you found itout in your own
experience?
How much further?
Suppose a job amounts to 10000
square feet; how much less Deyoe
could you buy?
Is it as easy to paint? Does it /.
cost any more or less to put-on by
the gallon than anything else? how
much?
If it costs 10 more to put-on De-
voc by the gallon, it costs less by the
foot, yon know; for the gallon does
more feet. How much less do you
find it, for wages?
Lasts say, twice as long, that gie
he owners gain; but perhaps you
reckon it yours; some do. The time
when that comes-in, is when he gives
out the next job.
Who gets it?

Hon J G. Lanham, of Summer

Friday in town.
Mr J E Burrows went to Flor

With him a few quarts of straw
berries to give some benighted
Florentines an idea of what a
real strawberry tastes like.
MIR Zeke Sauls, coming up
from Cades to this city Satur-
day morning on "4O', jumped
off the train before it came to a
standstill here. He was thrown
with considerable force, his
head striking so/violently that
a cash several inches long was
made in it. His escape from
more serious injury was FORUM
ate, as his head fell only an
..ncb or two from the wheels.
Friday morning the Express
Co left about two hundred
crates of berries here, claiming
that it did not have room in its
cars for these after loading the
rest Of the shipment. Now,
this may be true, but even If
true, that is no excuse. The Ex-
press Co pretends to De doing
fhis tlauiiug business and 1t 1t
can not do the business,it ought
10 eetout of the way and give
ane&her concern the chance.
Those berries lay here ten hours
most of the time in the sun, and,
of course, went on the market
at least ten hours late and
brought less than if carried
through when they should have
been. The owners will put in
their claims for damages and
wait for the settlement that
NAV come in some months, may
be years, maybe never.
