Dr. Hopkin? was elected neorotary.
'rosidout Smithj of Loo oouuty, who
iresldod, statod that tho mooting was for
tho purpose of discussing tho price of
cotton, and that anything olso would bo
ruled out of ordor. Any one prosont
who was willing to abido by tho rulos
adopted was a tnombor.
As soon at?' the mooting commenced R.
P. Stnokhouso, of Sumter, offorod ? reso
lution to tho effect that all farmors
plodgo therhsolvos not to soil any oottou
for less than 10 oonts por pound for mid
and that each county be organirzod
that purpose; also, that acroago aud
o Mils bo roduood 25 por cont, and
? each county also organize for that
purpose^ It was also suggested that all
othor cotton' growing States bo advised
of this notion, and that a gouoral meet
ing bo called in Atlanta on tho third
Tuosday in January, and that each
county soud delegates to each State con
volition to oleot delegates to tho Atlanta
mooting.
There was some objection to tho 25 I
por cont roduotlon, and 15 per oont was
suggested, on tho (..."."?Wu' that thor? wore

Col. Alfrod Aldrich, in the course of
SOtUO rom arks, pointed ont that with this ?
year's crop, it would bo impossible to
got any higher prioe for cotton. Ho
thought that tho beat plan would bo to
work from oounty to county until nil
farmors wore euro Hod.
It might tako a year, but whon the ;
organization was completed and tho as
sociation formed, tho cotton markot
could bo controlled. At present it looked
as if about 250,000 bales would bo loft
over at tho beginning of tho noxt cotton
year.

tion, aud predicted 4 couts cottoj
nuothor 12,000,000 halo orop waa

however, that tho prico should bo
