ers should be taken to a territory which
had beeu drained in order to eliminate
skepticism.
Local Commercial Club Work" was
discussed by Mr.. Norvell, Of Newbern,
who made some telling points about
what local clubs should avoid. But one
OF the best points he made was to the
effect that the men in town should get
in touch with the farmer and assist him
in the problems Of farm life, not to sug-
gest but to help. More OF this, the
speaker said, would tend to reduce the
Montgomery Ward and Sears & Roe
buck traffic. When the business men
of the towns and the neighbors on the
farm begin to cooperate then the prob
lens OF both the farmer and the bust
ness man will be solved. Following
this talk the president called on appli-
cants for membership. Response was
received from Trenton that club was
being organized, the delegate having
left in the afternoon and started the
work at once. Mr.. Ewell and Mayor
Russell, OF Dyer, stated that they were
going TO organize and join the league.
So did Mr.. Sam SHAFT. OF Kenton, make
the same report.
Judge A. G. Floyd, OF Memphis, ad-
dressed the league on The Present Cot
ton Situation, :" saying that even il the
present war continued year there would
be better financial conditions. The mills
are waiting for the low price, and when
they begin to buy the price would be
strengthened and the markets would be
easier. But even as it is there are some
compensations to come out OF the stu
alton. The cotton people would learn
lesson that could not have beennac-
quired for many years except for just
such conditions as now exist They
would be compelled to reduce the cot
ton acreage and when they did that
diyersifcation would take place and the
South would be much better off than
it had ever been or would have ever
been without the war. There are some
other compensations, too, coming out
OF the war in the way OF emigration.
From the warning countries we will get
emigration in the South. Good people |
from Belgium, Germany, and other
countries will populate and stimulate
industry in the South and the thing is
to be ready to take advantage of these
changes.
Mr.. Jas. Mills, OF Obion, read an in
teresting paper on Live Stock. /" This
concluded the evening program and the
present session. An adjournment was
taken to Dahnke's Cafe, where a lunch
con by the local club was rendered.
This held the league until midnight in
Of pleasantries and anec-
dotes.
The next meeting of the league is to
be held at Humboldt, by the invitation
OF Judge Senter, on the second Tuesday
in May, 1915. Memphis and Jackson
