FOB OBGANISATION. I The Plans of the Southern Cotton Growers. Wilborn's Purpose?The President Writes a Letter Giving in Detail What They Propose to Do. In response to a request from Editor Gantt of the Piedmont Headlight, President Wilborn of the Southern Association of Cotton Growers, who was in the city yesterday, has ..litten the "ollowing letter which gives the first reel information as to what the organization proposes to do: Dear Sii: In reply to your request for ray impression of the Atlanta convention, I beg to enclose the re port of the committee on resolutions, which will give you a skeleton idea of what is to bo done.

I most earnestly urge upon every community to at once proceed to enroll aud organize and send delegates to their January county conventions. The people must realize that the organization is necessary. "We want individual activity. The Southern States have only commenced to act. It would, have thrilled the heart of every cottou grower te have heard the report of the commissioner of agriculture of Alabama: they have called State, county and district conventions and are proceeding with an activity that will be effective: every State is proceeding ou similar lines. Please remember that this association is Dot yet 40 days old, first springing into existence by my humble call for a convention on November Kith. There the association was formed. History does not show where any army was organized and mobilized in so short a time. I have olmnef. f'VPVwllp] mP(l. UCCU OUX^ltCV. lltuivwv v . V .. ? at the unanimity of the cotton growers of the South. Ail admit that the time to act is at hand, and are ready to fight fire with fire, to meet organization with organization. Respectfully, J. C. Wilborn. The following is the report referred to by Mr. Wilborn iu his letter: The interstate cotton growers'convention, met and sitting in Atlanta December 14, 1807, having thoroughly canvassed the situation of our industry in all its many phazes, promulgate the following statement and address as the result of its deliberations: 1. The most pressing need of the hour for the attainment of our ends is a thorough organization of the growers of cotton, beginning with the individual grower, however humble, and reaching up through town ship, county, State and interstate organization. We cordially commend the organization over which Hon. Hector D. Lane ably presides, and tender that body at its meeting in Memphis on the 20th instant our cooperation in completing the organization, so well begun by it several years ago. To the end that uniformity mav exist throroughout all the States organized and to be organized, we shall appoint a committee of the body to consider all plans of organization that may be submitted at this meeting and mature a plan for presentation to our brethren at Memphis next week through a delegation to be appointed by this meeting to j represent this convention in that j body. 2. While not abating any of our contentions that the monetary system j of our country is at the foundation j of our difficulties, as it is at the bottom of the depression in all industries, we hold that there are deeprooted evils peculiar to our industry that demand immediate attention j and remedy. And of first impor- j tmce among these as a factor in de- j pressing prices is the speculative j control exercised over the price of ! actual cotton through the unjust i rules and regulations of the cotton exchanges. The evil we are convinced can be reached only by legistioD, and hence we pledge ourselves and our organization to labor for the j needed legislative restriction of i gambling in futures in our respective j States and in congress. 3. This evil being abolished or re- j duce.l to a minimum by proper legis ! latioo, and the control of spot cotton ! being thus restored to the producers ' uq ler the law of supply and demand, as far as that law is allowed to optr- ; a e under a vicious menotary system, i we d?em it next in importance that ! our farms be made selfsustaining in so far as climate and soil conditions I permit and increase the amount of food supplies. The cottou grower i who makes his supplies at home, is ! in a large measure independent of the j i rancor ji 0! the Breast.! Mr. A. H. Crausbv, cf 15S Kerr St.. Memphis. Tenn., says that his wiii j paid no attention to a small lump which j appeared in her breast, but it soon de- j veloped into a cancer of the worst type, I and notwithstanding the treatment oi j the best physicians, it continued tc j spread and grow rapidly, eating twe : holes in her breast. The doctorj | soon pronounced j her incurable. A j celebrated New York specialist then treated her, but she con- 1 O, tinned to grow wors: < ffr% aud when informe I ; Y* ^bS|L that both her aunl j and grandmother had j died from cancer he $ gave the case up a; : rjhopeless. tsTr/r Someone then re- ! commended S.S.S. i and though little hope remained, she begun it, and an improvement v.-as n<> ticed. The cancer commenced to heal ar-.i ' when she had taken several bottles il j disappeared entirely, and although sev- | eral years have elapsed, not a sign oi the disease has ever returned. A Real Blood Remedy. S.S.S. {guaranteed purely vegetable) is a real blood remedy, and never failto cure Cancer, liczcma, Rheumatism Scrofula, or any ether blood disease. Our books Atlanta Ga. ^5^ minipulator of the spot cotton in irkot. 4. The next source of loss is ?ubo an important one, but. is entirely in the control of the glower, as is tinlas' ore?diligent and careful attention to iLe preparation of our cotton for the market. Thousands?yes, millions?of dollars are lost annually to the cotton grower through cure less handing of the cotton from the held to the gin and pi ess and through use of inferior covering. While our farmers fully understand this, this meeting would neglect an important lesponsibility if it failed to call attention to this source or loss and urge correction of the e vil. We further recommend the establish merit of an information bureau. Resolved, That this convention indorse the organization known as the American Cotton Growers' Protective association, as it is already in existence and is working for the same objects for which we are assembled, the reduction of the acreage and increase of the price of cotton, and the correction of the evils of speculation and athers that oppress the producer: that we give our indorsement to the American Cottou Growers'Protective association. Resolved, further. That we suggest to the meeting of the Amerieau Cjtt)D Growers' Protective association, at its meeting in "Memphis next week, that the president of each State orginizatiou shall be a vice president of the national association. Resolve.!, further, That such vice presidents appoint presidents of ? * ? /-v ? ? 1 \ /-\ f m CJUUUY l'.'^iiui^auuus L*J uu iuiujui ill i all the comities of the States where cotton is grown, so that the organization may be so perfected that the decisions anived at by the association may be carried out throughout all the cotton growiug section of the United States as a uuit, as it is in this way only that the designs of the association may be carried out and the various measures of relief aLd reform be iiuugurated all over the South. Resolved, That this convention, as far as the votes of North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia may entitle them, recommend the re election of the Hon. Hector D. Lane, of Alabama, as president of the American Cotton Growers' Protective association. This committee recommends the following committee as suitable geno r> tlemen to represent this convention -i :? ill tutr vjuiiiiu^ jxciiipuio wu^'utivu. Dr. D. M. Crosson, W. A. Brouglr.on, W. P. Batchelor, W. J. Lick, Dr. J. B. Punnicutt. That these gentlemen ' elect their alternates. J. 11. K trie | was added. Be it resolved by this convention, j That we commend the anti-option bill to the attention of the cotton growers of the South to the meat and j grain producers of the West, and we j earnestly urge upon the producers of j these articles of commerce that they ! memoralize their respectiverepresen- ; tatives in congress and the senate of the United States to give to the Stoke's bill their active and earnest : support and to do all within their power to have this bill enacted into ! law.

S Cotton Growers5 Convention, j Xo Practical or Ettctive Actiou Taken j by the Convention. Atlanta, December 14?When the convention of the Southern Cotton Growers' met in the ball room of I the Kimball hoa.se at noon today, j nearly 3 '0 delegates answered to the J roll call. They represented the fore- j most planters of the fleecy staple of | South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, | Tennessee, Texas and other Southern States. The meeting was called to order by Mr. -J. C. Wilborn, the President of the South Carolina Associa- j tiou. The first busiuess taken up by ! the convention was the election of I temporary officers. The following j were unanimously chosen: J. C ! Wilborn, of South Carolina. President: S. E. Watson, of Texas. Y;<e President: Robert Cheatham, editor of the Memphis Cotton Journal, Stcretary. The delegates will form what is to i be kuown as the later Cotton State Cotton Growers' Association. The object of the association will be to have repealed the present mortgage, lien, etc , laws under which they coi - j tend that the Southern farmers have i been subjected to abject poverty, j Tuey will also devise some means to j greatly mitigate the speculation iu cottou, which is now indulged in so I freely by the Southern as well as the J Northern people. They say that the ; speculators practically gobble up the | entire crop before its production and that low pi ices is the result. T:e ' Southern farmer will be advised to | reduce their cotton acreage and raise i more food erorss. J)y unanimous action at the night session the cotton growers deckled in favor of reduced acreage, against i trusts and speculation in cotton, en- j dorsed the meeting of the Ameiicun i Cotton Growers" Association in Mem- j phis next week. decided in favor of j complete organ;/, itioii in every county and State in the South, silt sustain- j iug farms and information bureaus. } Disfigurement for life by burns or | scalds may be avoided by using : DtWitt's Witch Kaz. 1 Salve, the j great remetly for piles and for all , kinds of sores and skin troubles.
