Attention, Cotton Growers! *
if
Stirring Address by President 6
Smith, ot the State Cotton p
Growers' Association, in
Which he Appeals to FarP
mers to Keep Staple off the h
Market Certain Months. c
ii
On account of my sickne I o
have been unable to keep in ^
touch with the people of the r
State through the press. I do not (|
want any one to imagine that f<
the work of the Association has il
in any-wise lessened. i<
I take this opportunity to call e
the attention ol all the Assoeia- g
tion to the fact that from
Stats in the Union there comes u
reliable information of material J
crop damage. There seems to be n
little prospect of a crop exceed- o
ine eleven million bales. The
world consumed last year twelve
million, five hundred bales; the g
consumption this year will prob- n
ably reach twelve million, seven
hundred and fifty thousand
bales. Therefore, not only for the p
remainder of the year, but for
all of next year, there will be
practically no cotton in stock. If
there ever was a time when the ?
Southern Cotton Association as
an organization could demon- a
atrate its power, that time has ar- t^
rived. A strenuous effort should b
be made to keep the cotton from li
the market during the months h
of September, October and Nov- o
ehnber. for this is the time when a
the speculators and the mill men si
lay in their supplies at the p
lowest possible price. Because si
^hey recognize that this is debt- t'
paying time, and that the small n
farmer, the man who needs every si
cent that his cotton can he t]
made to bring, that this is the si
time he will be forced to part n
with his crop. si
The Southern Cotton Associa- tl
tion should bend every effort ti
this September, as soon as cot- n
ton begins to come to the market, b
u> usu us organized uuuiority to s
keep every bale possible ofF a
the market. si
* Year before last wo began the it
year with considerable stock tl
carried over from the enormous a
fourteen million bale crop; this tl
year we will beein the cotton it
year of 1900 and 1907 with b
practically no old col ton on hand, t<
and with the world demanding
more cotton than the new crop 11
can supply.
ii. n
Therefore, 1 call upon every i,
association in every county in a
the state to meet at once and
^iyiso ways and means by which ?
tn every county and township
they can make arrangements to
keep the cot I on off the market
during the first of the cotton ^
MI uy an muaiis uvuimuiu, ()
TJ10 prospect in S?uth (Jaro. t
lina, as I know from personal |(
olArvation, is the poorest for ^
te^i years. .
The country is being Hooded w
with poor literature; every in- t<
genuity known to the opposition d
, V! being used to depress the
. price of cotton.
Eternal vigilance is the price *
* of all success and simply be- ti
cause we have succeeded in gain J
ing and maintaining such a fine j]
price for cotton let no man ima- d
#
- *
in? that the opposition lias |
reakened its force at all, for it
i fighting more vigilantly than
ver before.
To show you the tremendous
ower of the Association, tor the
rst time in the history of cot>11?cotton
lhat is chalk and
aper cotton which heretofore
as controlled tlie place of spot
otten?was 100 points higher
11 New York than the spot coton
was in Columbia, South Car
lina Which means that the
amblers and speculators could
un paper and chalk up and
own to suit their fancy. But
>r one time in t he history of
he cotton grower he did not al>w
the spot cotton to be influnced
by any such gambling
ymnactics.
My healtb is steadily improvig,
and I shall be glad to adress
mass meetings during the
lonth ol Aumist in Smiiti n?r
o
Una.
Let every association be wide
wake, up and doing; for the
reate8t part ot our existence is
ow in our hands.

During the electrical storm
bout 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
wo bolts of lightning struck the
arn of Mr. E. D. Burton who
vos on what is known as the
ranch place about 8 miles west
f this city. The barn has a passge
way on the ground floor with
tails tor stock on each side ot the
assage. When the lightning
truck the building there were
wo mules on one side and ono
lule aiul a horse on the other
ide of the open passage. The
tiree mules were struck and in
tantly killed, but the horse was
ot hurt, although he was in a
tall next to one of the mules and
he lightning ran down a piece of
imber into his stall. The lighting
struck on the root of the
uilding, a bolt striking on both
ides of the roof, passing through
quantity of forage and into the
talis on either side of the buildig,
one bolt passing on out
hrough a wagon shed,sh ittering
swingle tree on a wagon, and
lien to a wire fence about ten
jet from the building. The other
olt passed through a buggy shed
a t ho same fence.
A number ot rats weie killed
11 the tor ige on the second tloor,
lit strange to say, the forage
ever caught on (ire and the
uilding was only slightly damgod.
