Nearly all the counties f the state were represented. Mr John T Hoddey delivered a lrciblo speech, showing t.ie ne ssity of an organization for the nrposc of controling the price of itton, and proposing the organi- sl< ition of the farmers of the south i ito a regular trust. After a great ileal of discussion, lr Roddev's trust proposition as voted down, and it wasdecid- Wl 1 to perfect an organization of io cotton growers of the south'*'1 ith a view to contracting the: 841 . reage to be planted, etc. ior The following resolutions were i> lop ted: I1 "1 That it is the sense of this! isociation that any and all efforts lade to advance and promote the tl1 iterests of the producers of cot- (>< in, by enhancing the price or iblishing and maintaining sta ility of markets and securing re luneration to the producer, should ive and receive the cordiul enorsement and support of this ssociation. 4'2. That notwithstanding the rv of over production as a justication of low lirices. the cron ! * ikon and consumed; yet in order 10 more readily to accomplish in* purpose of controlling prices, r< e roconnnond the inoreusc of * tlior crops nnd the consequent re- * notion of the cotton crop: thereby ' ccoming le*-, dependent on others :l1 nr supplies nnd more independent o: 11 the sale of our cotton. 4" "3. That this meeting should dopt decisive measures to -rf-euro ^ ho cooperation of cotton growers ai a all sections of the country in dopting some system by which Hl trices can be maintained, so as to ;ive the producer fair remuneraion. i44. Looking, therefore, to the 11 nrtheranee of the nhovo recomHerniations we adopt as a part of ? ur report the preamble and reso *\ utions adopted on yesterday by j C( his convention, viz: el 4 'in view of the magnitude of 11 he organization necessary to 04 noet, with any promise of success ** he disastrous conditions that con- j ront tho producers of cotton, in ? olving the active cooperation of lie' individual ptoducor from oirtli Carolina to Texas; and in . lew of the necessity for a full h epresentutive meeting at every (" tage of the organization.
