The subcommittee on constitution
Of the Southern Cotton Association. in
session at Atlanta, Ca, completed its
work in connection with constitutions,
Wednesday night, and began the con-
sideration of bylaws.
It adopted separate constitutions for
the main organization, for state or
eanizations and for county organiza-
tsous. The reason for this is that the
organization in the county and in the
state or division, will be different from
the main organization and will require
different machinery, yet its fundamen-
tai law must conform to that Of the
main association. For this reason the
subcommittee adopted constitutions
tor these sub-organizarions.
The fundamental law is broad and
comprehensive one, as may be gath
cred from the first article and Sec
ton, which state the purposes for
which the association was organized.
It is proposed, as will be seen, to deal
not only with the cotton situation. but
with other features as, well, and, in
TACT. to lend a helping hand in the
upbudfding Of the whole commert.".
