Secretary Cheatham, Of the
Southern cotton growers associ
alton, certainly roasts Secretary
Wilson, of the National agri-
cultural bureau, but none too
severely. Wilson eminently de-
serves all he gets. His Novem.
Der report on the condition of
the cotton crop was indeed ri
diculously absurd. Any one
who knows anything at all
about the raising of cotton knows
that at this season of the year
the crop is made and well-nigh
gathered. There is no "condi-
ton" about its gro With to re.
port. And yet we find Secre
tary Wilson issuing a Novem-
Der report of that kind-some
thing unheard of and never be
fore attempted by his or any
other department. Whether or
not it was Mr.. Wilson's inten-
tion to help the bear interest,
his so called estimate has GER
tainly had that effect.

pecially should every farmer in
every township be present at his
township meeting, and see to it
that delegates are chosen to the
county meeting who will by all

1t is impossible to estimate
the vast possibilities for the
good of the country that lie in
the wise and successful manage

feet organization and a lack of
complete unanimity is an earn
est of what may be done by
thorough organization and unit
ed effort.
The farmers never had a bet

today in their association to
become masters of the cotton
situation, and if they let this
opportunity pass by unimproved

back from which it will take
years to recover.
1t will not do for some farm
ers to hold aloof, sit down and
do nothing and wait on the
others to do all the work, pay
all that is to be paid and do all
the holding of cotton. Every
man must put his shoulder to
the wheel, bear his part of the
burden and work continuously
for the success of the organiza-
ton. Let those who are not
members of the association Join
at the approaching meetings
and thereby identify themselves
with this great movement.

the proceedings of much inter

number of very fine sermons
and addresses. Among the ser
mons highly spoken of was one
delivered by the Rev. r. Lee

Lancaster, now in charge of the
A. r. P. church of Camden,
Alabama, where Synod will ho d
its meeting next year-due to
the efforts made by Mr.. Robin.

A special from Due West
Monday to the Charlotte Oh,
server gives some of the pro.
cet dings of Synod at follows:
The committee on the orphan
age reported that the effort to
establish an orphanage at Hick-
ory Grove, S. g., had failed and
that it had been decided to
maintain the one at present sup
ported in the West.
A resolution was passed, offer.
ed by Rev. Rev. R. F. Bradley =,
to have a committee appointed
to revise and enlarge the confes
sion of faith of the Church.
After some heated remarks by
the author of the resolution,
Synod voted to refuse to enter
tain the motion.
Rev. A S. Rog rs offered a
resolution asking that the sal
aries of all pastors be Increased
"wing to the Increase in cost OF
living. This resolution was
adopted.
One of .'he most interesting
discussions of the day arose
ovel the report of the commit
tee on foreign missions. 1t was
presented 10 the Synod IN the
form Of majority and minority
report. The former requested
he Synod 20 authorize an addi.
tlonal appropriation If $500 for

Neil E. Pressly be instructed to
canvass the chuI ches for 81, 500
to build a new school house in
Tampico, and that in view of
the seeming impropriety of the
measure II is deemed unwise to
enter any new field this year.
This latter clause was brought
in as the action the committee
had taken on the field in India.
for which Miss Alexander,
teacher in English at the fe
male college, has offered her
services. The minority report
asked the Synod to authorize
the board of foreign missions to
receive contributions for this
field and that immediate action
be taken looking to the estab
lishment of a mission in India
in CO operation with the United
Presbyterian Church, or indie
