The Cotton Association?Annual
Meeting Called-President
Smith on the Situation.
The State : Mr. E. D Smith,
president of the South Carolina
Cotton Growers' association, who
is recovering from a recent illness,
wa8 in the city yesterday.
"1 have just returned from me
meeting ot the North Carolina
civiHion of the Southern Cotton
association/' said Mr. Smith.
4'The attendance was splendid;
j rattically every county in the
State growing cotton was represented.
The biiBines8tmen'of(Cbarh'tte
were also present and took
an active part in the meeting.?
S ;nie 25 or 30 warehouses had
been constructed during the pad
joar, nil of which were well
patronized.
k,The outlook for the incoming
}? ar lor the lurther progress ol
the Southern Cotton association
is exceedingly flattering. The
North Carolina division is profit
ing by the experience of the
past, and the incoming year vi'J
see an effort made for the negotiation
of funds sufficient in each
county for taking care of the
members vho will need money
on cot I on. 1 hope that every
county in South Carolina will
send delegates to our meeting
which convene" in the citv of Columbia
on February 5, 1908. It
is absolutely essential for the
welfare of our organization and
for the welfare of our people
that we solve the problem of how
to make our cotton the basis of
loan, so that we ^can hold it
without creating tco great a
Stringency of money. The old
Hiin and object, to which we are
bending every effort, is how to
meet the obligations of those
who own^cottcn without forcing
the owner to sell his cotton when
the price is not puch as we deem
a proper one. This can only be
done bv concert of action locally
y *
through the warehouse and the
local bank. The ginners* report,
issued today, indicates the final
yield of possibly less than 11,
500,000 bales. Yet in the face of
this, the {future market went off
something like 35 or 40 points. It
i sjconcoded by all parties concerned
that the American mills have
less eottonMbought than at any
period for a number of [years.
They are a? templing to meet this
condition by curtailing the production,
that is, running on short
time. It will take an enormoui
curtailing to meet the deficiency
in the supply, for, should they
consume one million bales less
than last year, from the present
outlook there would still be from
nno millinn tn almillinn unH nnc.
half leas thangit would lake to!
supply their ubsolute need. From
all the information at my command,
the balance of the cotton
yet to be Hold is in comparatively
strong hands, and"will be uninfluenced
by the fluctuation in
the market ontil?the level shall
reach thatJfor^which they have
pledged'themselves.
'Jlhe election of offioert for the
ensuing year and'devieing ways
and means by which ^to meet the
conditions thatQconfront us are
questions of snch importance as
to command a'full attendance at
our annual'meetingjon February
5,1908."

beautiful and brilliant event of
the kind witnessed iu Marion for
a long time.
The design of the church decoration"
wa8 very elaborate and
most artistic, palms, ferns and
ivy, with myriads of candles furnishing
the ina'erial which transformed
the interior of the church
into a fn-ry scene. In front of
the altar was a slender arch,
from which was suspended a
double heart. Under this the
bridal couple and the officiating
minister, the Ii<v. E. O. Watson,
stood- Amid a huge pyramid
of palms and ferns at the
rearoffhe altar was concealed
the organ, on which Miss .Julia
Power accompanied her sister,
Mrs. Malcolm C. Woods, as she
sang duriug the ceremony, the
sweet old song, "O, Promise
Me."
The Rev. Mr. Parker presided
at the pipe organ in the gallery,
