The Cotton Association.
Its Utility and Some Timely
Suggestions for Maintain
ing the Organization so as
to Obtain the Best Results.

AT the request of President of
the Cotton Growers Association
of the county of Lancaster, |
hand you for publication a
short communication, on tie
utility Of this association, with
me suggestions for keeping up
the organization, so as to obtain
the best results. The two prin-
cipal objects that the associa
tion has in view, is that the
producer shall limit the produc-
tion of cotton TO the needs of
the consumer ard thus prevent
over-production and also that
the prC ducer may learn and
know hrw TO market the same
by a combined effort to with
hold the cotton, and to place
on the market, at one time,
only such quantities as will not
stagnats or glut the same. These
two prime objects of the associ.
alton can only be accomplished
successfully by a combination
of he producer and other class
es who see prosperity for the
south in such a course and by
complete organization of all
classes Of bu mess men, merch-
ants, bankers, manufacturers
laborers, professional men and
cotton growers, throughout the
cotton growing states, with a
view to promote the ends indi-
Gated. All classes of business
men are interested in making
the raising of cotton remuner.

Growers Association alone, il is
hard to tell, but some of the
leaders in this movement claim
that the action of the associa
ton has gained the producer
fifteen dollars on every bale of
cotton sold at III cents per
pound. However this may be,
every one is satisfied that the
association has been the means
by which the price of cotton
has been kept up. Then why
don't every one join the associa-
ton and aid in maintaining the
orr anization.
Then to keep up the organiza-
llon 1T is the duty of every one TO
Join, and to carry out the resolu-
tlons of the parent body and to
back up the leaders who are best
informed. Harvie Jordan of At,
lanta is president of the national
organization; E. ID. Smith of
South Carolina is president of
the state organization, and field
and DR.. Strait is presi.
dent OF the county organization,
as we all know. And these men
should be our file leaders, and if
We follow them in this matter, we
will not only profit ourselves, but
we will greatly benefit our com
mon country. There is no dirty
politics in this movement, but it
is one that every patriot may de-
light to promote. If any one
doubts the ability of these men,
let any one, who may have the
least doubt, go out, at the first
opportunity, and listen to E. ID.
Smith, the field canvasser, and if
he does not say that he (Smith)
the subject and is
capable Of presenting it in all its
bearings, then I would say that
such doubter need not trouble
to listen to argument and
oratory-he can not be convinc.
ed.
Now then let every man in the
county join and maintain his
home or township organization
pay his dues and his five cents
per bale (raised last year, to
keep up the organization, and
last but not least let him attend
each stated meeting of the town
ship organization, and learn al
he can of what is being done
everywhere to advance and pro-
mote the movement. Every one
should be most careful to paw his
