~
Deserves Support.
To the Elitor Of tho State:
am just in receipt OF q letter from
one OF our most prominent farmers in
South Carolina which reads Is fol
lows:
To The Southern Cotton Association,
Columbia, s. O.
Gentlemen: Made yesterday first
sale of this years cotton a lot of
2oO bales at IL ! 3 cents per pound. I
congratulate the association and here.
with enclose a c1eck for a part of the
one. eighth, $50 to help on the good
cause. l am
Very respectfully,
r. M. PEaUEs.
Kollock, S. O.
l wish Mr.. Editor, just at this time
to say that the Southern Cotton as.
ISOLATION has reached a point in It's
p:ogr IS that it will require q great
deal OF knowledge and tact to steer
the old boat on for time to come. L,
as Its treasurer OF the South Carolina
division, am In touch with every sec.
tion OF this State as we'll as other
southern states. AS 7 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 organization"
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, 600, 600
bale crop staring us In the face when
tkey claimed that IL, 600. 900 was all
that the world could consume, could
place cotton from 6 cents to 10 l 2
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 1t" ought 1t not be suficient
evidence to everY doubling Thomas
that the association can, Will and has
accomplished O. great deal for the
south, and l DO not hesitate to predict
that this Is only the beginning in one
sense OF the organization.
l have implicit confidence In our
, >ple and as soon as they real 70 the
fact what this association is dong 70,
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 eve
organized by man, especially when
they realiz, the fact that If we con.
troll o staple which produces from
year to year 5000, 000, 900 to 500, OOO,.
600, then we can begin to realize what
a s,upehdous undertaking, and no one
can predict the outcome or the untold
amount Of wealth that will accomu-
iato In our southern land.
When we once succeed In get.
ting the cotton growers and the cot.
ton MANUFACTURERS to stand hand III
hand with q mutual understanding as
TO what price shall be in oder to dc
away with fluctuations and have G
staple price, then those OF us l.v. tt
see 1t, and l believe 1t is In the neal
future when 81 IN q condition will ex.
tsG you will see every cotton patch Ii
bha south dOU5la In value, you vii
see new homes take the place OF Ole
ones, you will see new church. s., Scnoo
houses and colleges springing up every
where and we viii be the richest and
most prosperous people on earth.
Now, Mr.. Editor, what l want tt
see Is our farna"s, m3rchauts, ban.
kers and thQsc of evory av C ation ir
the south to take an interest in thit
movement and small contributions C.
each will complete the orgaIiz .tiOi
and will not af CT any other Iegiti
mate line Of business and by so doinf
as | have said, We will DC the mos,
independent people Gu earth.
We expect to n.Va q meeting OF ths
county presid ants al the Southern Coz
ton aSsociati, tnioc tomorrow ant
hope that we will have a good attend.
