LET NONE FALTER
Organization, Co-Opera :
tion and Success.
The Best Men Should be Elected to
Office in the Southern Cotton AS
sociation's Subdivisions. Let
ter From the Secretary.

Acting upon the letter issued by
President Harvie Jordan, of the,South-
4rn Cotton Association, Secretary T. Is.
Parker, of the North Carolina DiVis-
ion, yesterday mailed a circular let
ter to all the subdivisions changing
the dates of meeting for the purpose
# electing officers to conform with
he wishes and orders of the PreSl-
ient.
Mr. Parker's letter is as follows.
This is to notify you of the change
T. the time of holding the State Con-
,ention of the Cotton Association
rom the first Wednesday in December
o the first Wednesday in January, as
.nnounced by President Harvie Jor-
ian. | take the liberty of making this
hange so as to conform TO his dates
enclose literature from President
ordan which gives the dates of all the
aeetings. You will please issue calls
or these meetings in your county ac"
Irdingiy. Township meetings on the

ember at the court house. In the
election of your officers get men who
eel an interest in the movement and
vho will work for the uDbuilding OF
ne Association; and for your dele
.ateS to the State meeting January ),
end.
THE Association has accomplished
more than its most ardent friends
Jared to predict and its usefulness is
just beginning TO develop and be ap-
preciiated. The enclosed literature
from President Jordan will prove
very interesting and will also throw a
great deal of light on the work OF the
Association and it's possibilities. Pres
1nf ore
important truth than when he says:
Each individual is an important fac
tor in the creation Of an organization
powerful enough TO maintain the SUI
nremacv of the South in the future
control of the great monopoly which
she possesses Each individual
should feel inspired to contribute his
support ana influence to this great
movement. Each individual should
feel it a personal and patriotic duty to
stand shoulder. to shoulder with his
neighbor in an effort to maintain the
price of cotton at profitable figures
and contribute thereby to the sue
cess of his individual interests and the
prosperity of his country" This is just
what is needed: to get each man To
feel there is a. responsibility resting or
his shoulders and to get him Wiling
TO DO his part If that could be ac-
richest country in the world. we
have a glorious country and good
people. but our people need to be ed
ucated along the line of cooperation
and standing firmly together for the
benefit of themselves and the ehtlre
South. One cent pound added TO the
price of cotton means millions OF dol-
lars to the wealth of the South Whlch
would go into every avenue ana chah-
mel of trade. For this reason every
one should encourage the farmers 70
stand firm and not sell their cotuoi
for less than II cents per pouha
Such encoura cement from the pusi'
pess men of the South at TINS lilhe
would strengthen the farmers very
materially and at the same tune prove
q great blessing to themselves
.'Truly this is an ausDiclous uIil'
and the people of the South have th'
finest opportunity to make themselves
a free and independent people Una
has ever been presented to them
Shall we take advantage OF 1t? lie
| no man falier. but every man deteF
mine. We viii do this one thing ah'
the victory will be ours.
Do not neglect the meetings men
! toned in President Jordan's call. Ac
: at once and get your people en-
thused.
