COTTON CONGRESS-
HELD SATURDAY
Plans Discussed for Holding
Present Crop Off Market
Unless Price Goes to 12H
Cents POund-Asked to
Reduce Acreage for 1915.

J., "A meeting of the Union branch of
the South Carolina division of the
southern Cotton congress was held in
the opera house at eleven o'clock Sat-
urday morning. There were about
100 farmers, merchants and bankers
present at the meeting.
Plans were discussed for holding
the present crop off the market and
for a reduction of cotton acreage for
next years crop. The producers of
cotton will be asked to sign pledges
to withhold at least third of this
years crop from the market for
period OF twelve months, unless that
cotton so held will sell for IL cents
per pound. And to reduce their cot
ton acreage for 1915 crop to SO per
cent of this 1914 crop as recommend
ed by the State Cotton congress.
The township committees composed
of three men from each township are
to make this canvass for the retire
ment of one-third of this years crop
and for acreage reduction for next
year as soon as the regular pledge
blanks are made ready by the State
Cotton congress.
Mr.. Emslie Nicholson told the con-
gress that he had made an agree
ment with the Union Buffalo mills to
use enough of their warehouse to
store $500 to 5000 bales until Feb
ruary l, 1915. Mr.. Nicholson said
he would secure the use of the ware
house for a longer period of time if
possible. He could give no state
ment as to the cost of the storage of
cotton in the. warehouse, but said it
would be as reasonable as possible as
he was not operating it as q money
making scheme.
p. Mr.. T. G, Duncan told the congress
thar he was erecting a warehouse
1,5oo to 1900 capacity which will be
ready for storage of cotton in a few
weeks. This warehouse will be in
will be bonded. Charges for storage
6Hiy will be % cents per bale ner.
month and insurance charges Will be
additional.
Ihose who wish to hold cotton were
assured by the bankers here that ev-
erything consistent with good sound
business principles would be done to
aid them.
Thirty-three men handed their
names to the secretary with the men,
bership fee of one dollar which made
them members in good standing and
entitled them to an official badge of
the congress. AS soon as these badges
come to the secretary of the State
Cotton congress they will be sent to
the county secretary, who will give
them out to the members.
1T is very gratifying to those who
wish to hold cotton to see these gen
tlemen, Mr.. Nicholson and Mr.. Dun
cam providing proper and adequate
warehouse facilities. Everyone inter
ested in the price of cotton is urged
to pay his dollar to the secretary and
receive a badge.
