It now affords me the greatest pleasure possible to advise you that the American Cotton Asso ciation, in convention assembled at Montgomery, Ala., passed a resolu tion admitting the women of the South to full membership In the as sociation on an equal basis With the men. "Knowing as I do your intense interest in the fight that we are mak ing to improve, not only in the rural sections alone, but our entire South land, the moral, social, religious and educational conditions, I, ns presi dent of tho South Carolina Division, appeal to every woman in South Car olina to. Join the American Cotton Association and help us in bringing about the groat reforms for which we aro fighting. "Remember your sisters and their little children are laboring in the fields, the women destitute of com fort, recreation and social life, the .children with no chance of an educa tion because of the fact that tho pro duct of the farm has been selling so cheaply when compared with the price of everything else. It takes tho labor of all of them to oke out a bare living for themselves. "When we succeed in compelling a profitable price for cotton and other farm products, thon-and not until then-will we be able to correct these conditions. The woman can then return to her home to look af ter her domestic duties, and the children can go to school. Then and not until then-r-will . the farmers' be able to have bettor homes; then .^an^nojvd^ try have better school houses and bettor churches; then-and not un til then-will the teachers and the preachers receive adequate salarios for their work. "We will then have good roads, telephones, social life, and then life in the country will be worth living. "We will have a meeting of tho South Carolina Division in Colum bia on May fi. I appoal to you to at tend in numbers. I will have a most estimable woman-an educated and refined woman farmer from Ala bama, a splendid speaker-to ad dress us. Come out.
