Many of you remember the Iny ter State Convention that I called to meet in Atlanta December, o l*i)7, and the great disappoints <1 j ment we felt at the policy of de. lo lav that wav then shown. A de ui crease of acreage was urged, and in | from that day to thin the mdivir?t 'dual effort of the intelligent cotton in grower has been to raise his aup; {plies for his farm at home, thereie i by decreasing the acreage. I deal j aire to urge anew the hog un<l in bominy j?luti ? make the fanu selfit supporting, raise cotton in the t surplus crop. Do this and w? >r will have the greatest country in ie j the world. Do this an I the conn* v try home will again reach its high pla<*e and regard in the mind of ic the youth. The country home i j should he tin happiest and most it independent place in the world. A ? I kind providence has aided us, in N J demonstrating to the most skepti cal mind that we have heen raising r, n 0 too much cotton. We today stand in a better condition to manage the cotton situa, n:tion than at any time, since the ? J War of 18<?0-ti5. Wo have assembled here tonight to devise the ! best w*> s and means for the future ** I m handling of our cotton secil pro1 | ducts on the market. A change in the manner of marketing this great money crop is absolutely I demanded. The present system of J selling gives the advantage to the I ouyer, mm leaves the individual producer absolutely as clay in the 1. hands of tl>o potter. Let us agree to have a, ->ay in selling our proe y. duce. 1,1 Wo propose to obtain within h. our own ranks and for the prod taction of the producer correct v. statistical information in regard 8? to the true condition of the cotton c- crop, prior to and during the [* pel iod of harvesting, in order to ascertain as nearly as possible " the amount of crops to be bar(i d vested, and the secretaries of local > ! sub-organizat'?oos in various towns j wlii[> will be kept in touch with the producer#, and weekly reports I mailed to headquarters, indicating (existing conditions as compared / <* HWl" < V<U?4>MUH? with previous years, estimating j the probahU amount o' cotton to he harvested in such neigbborhoods. This method will also .apply to cotton acreage in the I spring, and the amount of fert i I - |: | izers actually used under the crop, showing the condition o? , the growing crop, during the period of growth. O inner* urei expected to aid us FIXING I'RK'E. The Association being in possession of these facts and knowing! I . i | the amount of cotton to be pro j !duced, t1 upon the most reliable statistics, will be in a posi?| 11 tion to fix :i fair price for raw I material dalivcrd at ports. Ih fore fixing the price, however, we propos* to find out tho fue, | amount of A tneric.an cotton Ye- ] quired for consumption in twelve, i months, and the price of tho (in ished fabric offered - with correct information of amount of cotton I # I I to be harvested?tho number of j bale* roquired for consumption bv j j mills, the price of cotton piods. and it will be an easv matter to | determine a fair price for raw : material OHTilM'id TUP Killer I 1 o get a just price from the j i buyer of our cotton, it will be essential to furnish the suppl\ , , commensurate with the demand. j This can only be done by market- i, I . ; ing the crop through a longer1 period ot time and furnishing spinners with stock us needed ! Here is where we seek and are entitled to the aid of the hanker j Cotton properly warehoused and j j insured is as good i-enirity as u I government bond \V now have, an opportunity of becoming com-1 I plete masters of the situation, i | There will ha no surplus carried, over till next year. The mills in all parts of the world are short of I cotton. Never has there existed j ; a greater de nand for cotton goods ; The mills must have raw cotton, i which twill lia in < ' and if we know and demand its J trim value it will We paid. The world is now far# to face with a | ^ I . j cotton famine, if demands koep pace with the Inbt twelve months. |The mills consumed 11,100,000! I hales during the past twelve 'months, mads up of iJ, 000,000 i 11 hales surplus carried over from i crop of 1008 and the 0,000,000 i harvested in 1800. The latest move has hocn fori the spinners to combine and shut! ' down for sixty days, so as to > stagnate trade and depress present; pi ices of raw cotton. 1'he < pies-I tion for you to determine is, | ...I- .it . e* wiiaiuur you, auer Knowing tlioI ' situation, arc prepared to .stand lit land deliver and bo dictated to by {organizations miles away. Fellow citizens, such is not your history and should not bo your policy, hut wo should meet organization with organization.

The cotton seed combination in another organization tnut should he doalt with, in tho samo incus- i jure, by uniicd action and with the; samo force they attempt to use against im They meot and agree i to giro a certain price. Let us agree that w?? will only sell for a certain price our cotton seed. An it is now, the politeness of Kob Roo is not even in vogue, when ; they take our cotton seed. j I "Resolved, That the executive committees perfect tho organization of the various counties and that tho chairman appoint a delegation of one from each congress lonnl district tore present the cot- i ton growers convention of South Carolina in the convention of | the National Cotton Growers asso- i | ciation which meets at Macon 011 NoTtmber 80th." t This resolution was eventually adopted hut not until I several had , spoken.
