They report splendid enthusiasm and great interest and a large number of farmers and busiless men attend each meeting. In nany of the towns the merchants ilose their stores in order that all )f the people may attend. "I just came from Anderson yes:erday where there was a meeting: >f the business men and farmers to )rganize a marketing association. iVhile there I learned that the far.ners and business men in the comnunity of Belton had secured , subicriptions to amount to $20,000 to njild a warehouse at that place, rhe citizens of Starr in Anderson E S? mntivp fnv aiavincr his own choice and Yet the motive beermines its relation 5fore, are those who ir earning power? _ __ _ i >e meir spending' cat once do wisely in d are exceedingly ell.

( "As an evidence of the great ir terest taken in securing , cotto graders, day before yesterday th committee from Westmini^tei Oconee county, came to Clemson t see about securing a cottor^ grade stating that they had raised $30,00 with which to pay the salar., of cotton grader. A few minutes afte their departure, the secretary c the Chamber of Commerce of Sen* 'ca, the same county, called up an said that community had raise $30,000. That night a committe from Walhalla came to my hous between the hours of twelve an two. to inform me that Walhalla ha raised $30,000 to secure a cotto grader. "One of the difficulties would b tj secure competent men. It is ou policy not to appoint a man unles heh as had three years of exper: ence in the actual buying of cotto for a reputable company. Thes men are scarce, and demand bi salaries. i "In reference to the effectiv campaign upon the building o warehouses, our reports indicat i that there will be over a hundre warehouses constructed within th jnext ninety days. Our people seer to be tremendously in earnest, sob ing the first fundamental principle 'concerning the marketing of cottor "Hhe question of having it grade by competent disinterested partie and the establishment of ware .houses is order that their cotto may be kept from the market i necessary anl that they may be abl to secure loans upon the same."
