WIN 81. Woods, M. d.. Secretary

return from a meeting OF the Execu-
tive Committee at Hot Springs, Ark,
had the following to say:
"All things considered, this meet
ing accomplished great deal Of good,
and was characterized from start to
finish by a desire in the part Of the
delegates to do business. The ten
cent minimum placed upon this years
crop was done to encourage the rank
and file to hold for at least the meat
and bread price. The condition as
reported from the different states, all
weat to show the mistake Of making
any report Of probable yield at this
time. The reports Of deterioration
from all over the cotton growing
states since the reports to the Asso-
citation were received and which they
would have had to have based their
estimates, did not, in the opinion of
the committee, justify an estimate at
this time. The farmers Of the south
are willing to live and let liYe, and
only ask that the cotton buying world
treat them square. The actigh taken
to incorporate the Association will
place us positively IN the business
world and methods will be Instituted
to obligate the support Of the mem
bership of the Association. The
trouble heretofore has beenl the lack
of business methods in tb& Associa-
ton land now that this promises to
be corrected, | believe we are enter
ing upon new era of positive pros
perity.'
The meeting Of county presidents,
secretaries and delegates at Jackson
this week at which thine Messrs. Jor-
dan, Witherspoon and National Organ
lzer Smith, were to h ve been present,
was for the purpose tof explaining the
plan to take care Of distressed cotton
and map out the Champaign for fall
work. The people in general and the
members in particular, should heed
| the price liked and las far as possible,
aid the Association in winning the
tight begun with Ia good chance Of
success.
The writer has innumerable times
| and upon every OF asion where oppor-
tunlty presented, ~ rged upon our peo-
pie to stay IN M ississippi, contend
ing that it offereA more to the man
seeking home tAa(n any state in the
| union Tho foIlo&v;k lo44o,, .oao;,oJ
from one who 4eft\ here many years
ago. aso,o is rep; reproduced II support of that
81 notice i4 one, of your articles
written some time hg&, that you ad-
wise the young ms& to( stay at home
and improve the oporS unities that
their own e9untn affordte instead of
going to so4ne q Ew count ry TO build
up name and ks some I'd ink, for
tune. [ think This good advice and
it should Pe hf eded by ey (ery young
man who (has (roaming an Ia fortune
hunting il his }head. I left the Crane
old state of Mississippi eigh been year
ago to 6hd the land that flolkwed will
milk anf hohey, but I have failed t,
find it 80 faf. Most of the ii, he sine
| eft mississippi have LIVED in tn
lndlaY Territory, where most xof tn
eastern people thought that I none
could be | picked up. I have Il loun
that This country does not afford kbet
ter opportunities than do many
the folder staes. There are hundre d
OF tmea who came here many yeai
ag9 while they werS young, that are
noi better off than the day they landed
h9re. Many Of these men are Mis-.
cfssppians that left good homes
thinking that they would in few
years accumulate a fortune and o.
Pack home. Not one out of one hu
7 bred have ever succeeded in maki1
a fortune. Not many of them ed
go back home because they are
able to do SO. My advice would
~ Dung man stick to your hom
1t is far better than roaming fol
tunes.o
