COTTON CONSUMPTION
IS LOGICAL SOLUTION
----. :. -.
THE ONLY WAY TO HANDLE
THE SITUATION.
WILL GET RESULT
If Business Men and Industries
Desire to Help the Farmer,
Then Use More Cotton.

The reasonable and only logical way
to help the Southern cotton farmer in
his time of need, according to VIZ,
known attache Of the Anderson cham
Der Of commerce, Is for the business
men and industries Of the South to
use more cotton instead. of other ma
tcrial In shipping their ,nrpducts.
In talking ..yesterday.,to :: reporter
for The IntelliEencer. This gentleman
said: .,..o-
SIT has been clear from tho first
that consumption was the, key to the
cotton problem. and that plans for
holding supplies off the market and
curtaiiing production were but means
for stimulating demand. = Withholding
supplies Is not consumption, and cur
tainiant o. production is not d price
factor because waptlngl asssqrance Of
certainty; and all plans. Tor offering
immediate enhancement Of price hav-
Ing failed from various reasons. relief
Is to be found only in ,ii9mediate and
substantial consumption.
."rhe South is In position to sensi-
bly, enlarge the demand for cotton in
at least. one practical way, and this
county endorsd, and earnestly recon-
plan: {. ~
THAT the rice mills, grain elevator
companies. cotton oil mills, flour and
cotton mills of the county be urged to
use cotton bagging for sh1pping pack
ages, and tho chambers OF commerce
and boards OF trade OF the South. as
