Birmineiian. Nov. 9.--(Special.)-- $ Resolutions were adopted today at a largely attended meeting of the Farm : srs' Union of Jefferson County to the effect that cotton would be held for the minimum price of Is cents per pound
 pr. !. B. Vines, County President, was in the chair, with J. R. Reeves, Secretary, at the desk.
 State Business Agent J. F. Parker, explained the object of the meeting. He said that the time had come for. the farmer to act. A few years ago, said hes the farmers had only 15o,oO0 piedges with the price of cotton down to cents. With a bumper crop the price was pulled up to 10 1-2 cents. With a million pledges the farmers can force the price up to Is cents per pound. He stated further that South ern bankers and merchants had fortte lied themselves and had plenty of money in their vaults and would meet conditions. A Committee on Resolutions was ap- pointed and the following resolutions were prepared and adopted: I. r/
 Birmingham, Ala, Novs g, 1907.
 We, your Committee, on Resolutions, beg to report as follows:

 "Third--That provided, however, if we are required to hold our cotton ip storage for any period of time the Farmers Union will cause to be ad- vanced to us through the local ware house at least two-thirds of the mini mum price of our cotton when the re- quest is made, and if we need such ad- vance the rate of interest not to ex- ceed an equitable value.
 '.Fourth--It' Is further agreed that any made agreements which may be reached by which all or a part of our cofton can be sold direct to the spinner at the 16.cent minimum price or above such, part or all of our crop is hereby apledged to fill said contract. ~
 'sFifth--It is further agreed that the title to the cotton as herein pledged shall ever remain with us until sold as agreed above and settlement made therefor.
 "Sixth--It is also understood that this agreement is made voluntarily up- on our part and to remain in full force and effect until Januafy 1, 1908, pro- vided that the price is not reach ed be- fore that time or if 1t becomes evident that an amount of cotton is being held to Force the minimum price, then the same to remain in full force and effect. If is also understood that we may hold our cotton on the farm or by any other means at our cominand, but in all in- stances we agree to protect the same From damage or deterioration.
