There was a large aLd repre entative gathering of farmers Ld business men held in the ourt house last Monday. The neeting was called to order by dr.J.F, Hendricks,the president of the County Farmers' Union. Mr. B. Harris, of Pendleton, vas introduced who made a peech along agricultural lines. Ie said everybody looked sickly md the cause of it was the >rice of cotton. He stated that he price 01 cotton to-day was elow the cost of production, tnd the reason and cause of this vas the farmer or producer him elf. He said the farmer pNt he blame on toe speculators, he cotton mills and combina ions, but the farmer himself vas to blame. On the 1st day )f September, 1911, the world teeded cotton wo se than it had or 35 years: there was less tton available on this date and ss 'uanufactured goods than n 35 years, and more people to se the goods. If. therefore, he producers had known these actg and held their cotton off he niarketit would to-day be inging nearet-P cents than 9 ents. Every bale - cotton aised this year ought ib.have rought 15 cents accordingQ4 he law of supply and demand. f the farmers had held their otton till the 1st day of Noveni er it would, have brought this )rice. The way to remedy this situ ,tion and all such future calam ties is in the hands of. the armer. It is through organiza ion and co-operation and diver ification. He believed it was ossible for the farmers of the outh to make the price oTr cot on 50 cents by raising their upplies at home and not buy g them at a cost of three ~ourths of their cotton crop. He stated that the trusts and orporations would own this ountry in 30 years unless the armers organized; that they Liready owned sixty million cres of the land, and if the armers did !not wake up they rould in a few years be tenants f thee corporations. He gave' everal striking illustrations to how the value of organizing nd co-operating. Another rem dy was warehouses. He urged uildng warehouses. He be leved that men who would arehouse their cotton would et at least121 cents or a profit of 14.80 after paying interest, torage and insurance of $2.70 r bale on each bale ware ioused and held. The next speaker was Mr. J. ~Vhitner Reid, the secretary of he State Farmers' Union. He aid the Farmers' Union was eadily growing in the state )ut was weakest in the Pied nont section. He confidently xpected to see the day in this tate when there would be 40, )0 farmers united and standing oulder to shoulder. The only way we can ever iope for better conditions in the otton situation is to reach the int when men will fix the rice for it. This cannot be Lone without selling agencies ud bonded warehouses. The nly remedy for the present sit iation is to hold the cotton. To establish these selling agen - ies and warehouses will 2(eos ney and must be put upon a ~usiness basis before the com nercial world will recognize it. The only way the farmers an get in shape to make the, iome manufacturer take notice if him is through bonded ware-! Louses and -responsible foreign elli> agencies representing di-. ectly the producer. lie wanted see the time when the farmer ould not sell a bushel of corn, otatoes, peas, cabbage or any ther produce except through he selling agent. The Union Snow inaugurating such a plan i this state and he hoped to see Ldeveloped into such a state of ~fficiency as will inure to the reat benefit of the farmer. As long as the farmers showed he disposition which has char ~cterized their acts this fall, to ick and put on the market as' ast as possible his cotton, he ieed not expect a rise in the rice but rather a decline. Mr. Fred Williams offered the ollowing resolutions: Resolved by the farmers and) E 600,000 Acres y of the Finest In Sonthwest Georgia for S Terms to Ho Lands improved and unii from S.00 to ,40.00 per acre cost of improvements. if yc try you will think it is the 1 in holy writ, and what it lac For further information office, Pickens, S.
