The cotton association ought to be
the biggest thing ever started in the
South. Everything could be said for
it and nothing against it.
The governor suggested that the
farmers arrange some plan whereby
foreign trade in cotton could be
financed, and to stand by the organi-

that the same old effort was being
made to organize, and like all past
effort was destined to end in failure.
