Ooh-robin, September ll.-President E. D. . tniih of the Cotton Growers' As sociation bas given this card to the presa for publica ,mi : lu order to set thoroughly informed aa to the spirit of tbe people of South Caro lina in reference to the actual Southern Cotton Association, I call upon every county association to meet ou Monday next, the 18th, for the purpose of getting an expression of opinion from the mem bers of every association in their county, first, ns to tbe ratification of the aotion of the oonvuution as to the minimum price, and Becmd to devise menus of mutual assistance in carrying out the aim and purposes of the Southern Cot ton Association. The one prime neces sity is now that the Southern Cotton Association bas fixed its minimum prioe at Asheville, N. C., the undoubted small orup, the financial condition of the South aud above all the possibility of the Southern cotton grdwer being able to dictate his own prioe, is a prize worth striving for, because lt means personal iudepeudeuce, mauhood aud wealth. Therefore, at this crisis I beg every county in the association to meet, as above indioated, and see that a report both as to the spirit attending these meetings, the opinion of those attending as to tho price of cotton aa to the out look of yield, and what means, if any, bave been brought upon to withhold the cotton from the market until our mini mum of ll cet-cs is obtained, these reports to be forwarded to the central office. It matters not now whether it waa wise or unwise to set the minimum indi cated. There ia but one thiug left to do and we cnn do it, and that is to ataud by the convention at Asheville, aud domaud ll cents, lt is useless for me to call at tention to tho fact that with tho 11,000, OOObalo crop, by our loyalty, determina tion and manhood wo will win it. Vari ous things will be brought to bear thau aro being brought to bear now and tho fight for tho uext thirty days, porhaps lunger, will be the bitterest over waged in the South. If, however, the hankers, merchants, in fact all parties interested in Southern welfare, wbioh means in tho Southern cotton crop, will seo that the weak are assisted by the strong, we will win this fight a? we won the other aud ho rewarded by a much higher price than ll cunts for our work. This lotter is dictated hurriedly ou my way through Columbia, to meet the cotton growers at Ronnettsvillo. When I have leisure, which I hope to hnve in n fow days, 1 shnll Ki ve to thc public the work that was done and proposed to ho dohe at Ashe ville. Let all the counties meet as I hnvo asked nhove, and seud to t bb. oflice a report of the spirit of tho peoplo ns to tho prospects of their holdiug their cot ton and the menus they propose to put into operation to rench tho oud desired. Already telegrams nnd letters from the West indicate that they are hauling their cotton back home nnd storing it nwny ai d wniting for ll cents. E. D. Smith. Tributo of Respect.
