...... The Abbeville Press and Banner, 1 BY W. W. & W. K. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, 8. 0., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1905. ESTABLISHED 1844 li| Meeting of Abbeville's Nontaern Cotton Aisoeistlon. The Cotton Association was called to order on last Saturday morning at half past eleven o'clock. Tbe President Mr. J. Allen Smith presided. After tbe opening exercise Mr. Smitb gave an account of tbe Asheville meeting together with some im. pressions which" he formed of tbe movement as be saw it in Asheville. ' Mr Smith mentioned the names of tbe executive committee with their respective vocations and showed that tne farmers on rais committee were in me minority, ne was uui mvuri ably impressed with what he saw. He thought the movement a good oue to sympathize with but not just what the farmers of Abbeville County need. The personel of the committee seemed to oosmopolitan. . Mr. Smith could not understand how the interests of the English buyer and tbe Southern raiser could be the same, namely a high price for the staple, yet the eottou buyers wore very m uch in evi- ? dence at this meeting in Asbeville. g The meeting seemed to smack too I ' much of Liverpool and Mauubeoter. \ He said that we need a cotton growers association and not a cotton association as it is at present. Tbe cotton association is for all men that handle ? ! cotton. The Southern Cotton growers ** association is what we want in Abbe- ? vllle Couuty Mr. Smith thought we v might sympathize with this move- _ ment but that we should act independentently of it. He stated furthert hat as it was impossible for him to see how the best interests of tbe farmers of Abbevillle County rested in the keeping of such an organization he wished to tender to the association Liresignation as president. As au indiK/> t?niiM rfrv Kiu Ko.t TlUtiM UiCUIUUl UC IfVUtvi MV Uio w i, to further the interest of the people of _ southland in raising the price of cotton. He wanted tbe very best price that we could get and did not care to compromise witb mill men and Man- lh1 cheater manufacturer is as the price of tb, the staple that means our life here in <*' tbe south. [),* Mr. I. A. Kellar who also attended e<r the meeting at Asheville said that ht pn was more favorably impressed with ^ what was said and done at tbe meet- i ing than Mr. Smith. He thought Tb that the executive oonamittee was one ^ of the most representative body ol 0ie men he had ever seen that every state of was represented except Florida, and the Indian Territory. Mr. Kellar tb< said tnat most of the farmer* be.liao it talked with thought that, the minimum price ought to be placed^ at 12-2 Wi but tbat tbey bad compromised on 11 i cents. Mr. 8mith|then called on Judge R. po ?. Hill, Judge Hill had been mucL <*i interested In wbat be bad beard and ^ seen though be bad just happened at ort the meeting among other thing* Judge Hill spid that Mr. E, D. Bmitb jj. wanted to put the minimum price ol \b cotton at 10-2 ceuts but compromised on il cents that- most of the men in *"! attendance will whom he 'talked ?re thought the minimum price ought to L ? be lOcents and that if the price wa> put higher the disagreeable result mi would be that the farmers ? ould sell mt anyhow. Mr. Hill thought that ** every man who makes a crop ought to no join this movement (be nevtr spoke a JQa truer parable.) He doub ed very much if ihe farmers of Abbeville hd County would stick to a very high price that they bad not been elected *lv to the point of ho.ding for a fixed at price as yet. Judge Hill was also im pressed favorably with the personal { of the executive committee. Mr. Al- out leu Smith tendeied bis resignation vei which waB leluctantly accepted and Mr. I. A. Kellar was made Presi- tio dent of the Abbeville Association. j*' Mr. Cheves Haskell thought that eg' t hp nr\Mnn arrmrora nf tho u/uit h niicrht mi '"v w"vu 6,V"V,D "*v ouu"' ""ft"1 to organize and bold to their cottou au< like "grim death to a defunct tSene- fuu( gambion" until we get 11 cents for it. iiu He repented that he had sold last week a baie for 104 cents he ^ might have put it in the ware hours bu andget the good price that is sure to 01_ come. vv A motion to endorse the action of mi the execution committee in A-heville was carried. be! Mr, A. K. Watson made a motion am that the Association resquest the far- ^ mere of the County to market their mj cotton slowly.
