HOLDING FOR 40 CENTS

A large crowd of the county's most
representative farmers heard Senator
E. D. Smith and Hon. B. F. Nc
Leod deliver srtong, practical talks
on the cotton situation at the court
house Monday morning. The audience
was thoroughly in sympathy with the
plans to hold cotton for 40 cents, as
outlined by the speakers, and when
at the conclusion of the talks Mr.. I.
l.. Manning asked for a rising vote
on the 40 cents proposition, 80 per
cent. of those present stood up.
Many pledges are being secured to
pay annual dues amounting to much
as $3.50 per year for a period of three
wears to carry on the work Of the
Association. The holding movement
is general throughout the cotton belt,
and the banks Of the country are
showing a willingness to cooperate
with the farmers to the extent OF
their resources.
