DR.. j. Y. Joyncr, of Raleigh, N. c.,
who has been a moving spirit in this
organization since its inception open
ed the meeting and presided On
account of the size, it had to be adj
journcd to the court house, instead of
being held in the directors room OF
the First National Bank, as planned
originally. He introduced Aaron
Sapiro, attorney Of the association,
who is we'll known here as the at
torney of Id of the biggest growers
cooperative marketing associations of
the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Sapiro presented the uniform
contract, which the Tri-State associa-
tion has signed with North Carolina
and Virginia warchouseman, and is
similar to the contract used now
in the Kentucky belt. Every ware
houseman was given copy to follow.
Paragraph by paragraph he explained
the entire contract, terms of dealing,
means of operating, and other details.
When he concluded his address and
called for questions, there were few
questions asked.
The response to the call for sigma
lures was immediate and quite gen
eral. Nearly an hour was added to |
the meeting for the execution of the
contracts.
Other representatives of the asso-
citation here for the occasion includ-
ed M. 0. Wilson, Of Raleigh, sccrc-
tary Of the association, f. C. Watkins,
Jr., of South Boston, Va, chief of the
warehouse division of the association,
II. B. Young, director from Florence
in the association, Bright Williamson,
of Darlington, who has been leader !,
in the movement.
The meeting was thoroughly repre-
sentative, the spirit was good without
a single show Of antagonism on the
part Of the warehouseman towards
the association, and most encourag
ing results in the conclusion.
