The Chester County Cotton associa-
ton held its monthly meeting in the
court house on Saturday. Several
impromptu addresses were made and
much interest manifested in the meet.
ing. 1t was shown from the meeting
that the farmers were determined tc
stand by fifteen cents as the price fol
their cotton. Capt. j. S. Mckeown
chairman of the committee appoint.
ed at the September meeting to lool
into the local market, made a partia
report. He showed the improved
condition Of the market, and the com
mittee will keep in touch with the sit
uation. President ]. NJ. Wise SPOKE
of the effort that was being made II
some quarters to reduce the price o.
cotton, especially since the Cottor
Association had declared for fifteer
cents. He showed the force Of thi
association and declared that all need
ed was for the growers to stand to
gether. Mr.. Wise advocated the pub
fishing Of an address through th'
columns Of the local papers setting
forth the situation over the entir
south. Mr.. w. o. Guy endorsed thi
and made a. motion that COMMITTEE
consisting Of the president and wv
others be appointed to prepare thi
address The motion was seconded
and passed. Another matter that wa
passed was the building of standar'
bonded warehouse. A committee con
sisting of one member from eacl
township was appointed to solicit sub
scriptions and go ahead with tn
work. The meeting showed that tn
farmers, for the most part, were de
termined to stick by the Southern
Association for a minimum of fifteel
cents. .... 1t is understood that tn
plant which Swift & Co. is to bull
here will cost between $4,000 an,
100000. 1t is also understood tina
about seventy-five hands will be i'm
ployed. 1t has been stated that thi
is only the beginning, that as tn
trade grows the plant will be enlarg
ed and the number of employees in
creased. The location between thre
railroads, is ideal and there is no rea
son why a large and profitable trad
should not be worked up in this ter
ritory. Chester's location as a dis
tributing point is unexcelled in thi
country and one main reason VIII
this plant was located here is tn
splendid railroad facilities that Ches
ter has. The work is to cOmmenc
at an early date, as the intention is I
have the plant completed by the frs
of next year and sell the fertilizer 70
