lAURENS BUSINESS LEAGUE TO GIVE
BARBECUE TO COTTON GROWERS FRIDAY
Big Meeting Held in the Interest Of the South Carolina
Cotton Growers Cooperation Association

limited to cotton growers only, land
lords and tenants being included as
cotton growers. Tickets to the bar
oecue will be issued at the meeting
In the court house Friday morning.
Non-cotton growers, including fami-
hes OF cotton growers, will be granted
tickets on payment Of soc per ticket
as long as the supply OF barbecue
lasts.
Geo. M. Wright, president OF Watts
Mills, and NJ. j.. Smith, secretary and
local manager Of the Laurens Cotton
Mills, were both present at the meet
ing friday night and endorsed the plan
OF the marketing association. Mr..
Wright Joined the association in the
name Of the Watts Mills, the mill op
Grating a farm On its property here.
Speaking informally of the marketing
plan after the meeting, MIR. Wright
and Mr.. Smith both said that the man
ufacturers favored the plan as it would
tend to stabilize the price Of cotton
The mills. they said, were not as much
concerned about the price of cotton as
they were about its stability. If the
mills could be assured or a fairly
stable market for cotton, they said,
they would be relieved Of much un
certainty as well as expense in their
operation. Manufacturing and not
speculation was their business, thew
said, and they would like to see the
speculation element in their business
eliminated. The mills, they said, want
ed to see the farmers get fair price
for their product because general
prosperity rested upon the prosperity
OF the farmers.
In order to pave the way for a sue
cessful meeting Friday, the business
houses Of the city closed their doors
for n--he.hs neutrality-suspicious. so
that the business men might hear the
plan explained by Dr.. Carl
Y. Taylor, Of "A. & 10. CollegeCof North
Carolina, who addressed the meeting.
In addition to the big meeting to be
held In Laurens Friday, several small
er meetings are being held in the
county this week.
About 5000 bales have already been
signed mp in the county and Mr.. NIc-
Culley is counting on signing a total
of $1,000 bales before May 1st, when
the campaign will be closed.

at meeting OF directors Of the league
ana few other business men held in

sion OF the association plan was held

motion in this vicinity
MI. McCulley told the assembled
business men that the. organization in
this county was tagging because farm
crs had not been sufficiently informed
as TO the contract Of the association

keting association is of vital import-
ance to the business men as well as
the farmers, he told his hearers; and
ne made such a convincing argument
for the need of the plan that the league
directors determined TO finance a bar
oecue to encourage the farmers to
come to Laurens to hear the plan ex-
plained.
The first step taken by the directors
was to appoint committees to arrange
Tor the barbecue and to issue invita-
tions to the farmers. A list OF about
four hundred farmers was secured
from the farm demonstrators and invi-
tations were mailed to them to attend.
lhey were requested to notify brother
farmers who might be interested in
the plan and to tell them to advise the
invitation committee, of which wv. r..
McCuen is chairman, as to whether or
not they expect to attend. All per-
sons who expect to attend the barbe-
cue are requested to notify Mr.. Nc
