MEETINGS FOE BETTER COTTON
Conditions-Westminster mid Seneca
Saturday; Walhalla Monday.
The following letter hus been for
warded to citizens in all parts of
South Carolina relative to an Impor
tant phase of the work of the Ameri
can Cotton Association:
To South Carolinians:
Every man, woman and child who
has the privilege of calling himself
or herself a South Carolinian is vi
tally interested in the campaign to
bo launched by the cotton associa
tion, the State Warehouse Commis
stoner, the Extension Service of
I Clemson College and the United
States Department of Agriculture for
the purpose of arousing the people
to the necessity of making the first
organized effort to work out the
problem of the scientific marketing
of their cotton. To this end three
meetings are to be. held in practi
cally every county in the State. The
three problems to be discussed are
fundamental:
1st. To arrange for the grading
of the farmers' cotton by a disinter
ested party, who will be an appoin
tee of the State and Federal govern
ments, working under the supervi
sion of the extension service of Clem
son College and the United States
Department of Agriculture and in
co-operation with the cotton asso
ciation and Warehouse Commis
sioner.
2d. To arrange for building the
necessary warehouse space to take
care of at least 50 per cent of our
normal cotton crop.
3d. To increase the membership
of the cotton association in order
that it may be a potential factor in
the economic life of the State.
It is unthinkable that South Caro
linians will not at once recognize
that this campaign and movement
are of the most transcendent import
ance. Nothing in the economic his
tory of this State, which has been a
pioneer in many of the economic, in
dustrial and civic movements of thie
country, is so vital, so far-reaching
and touches every phase of our very
existence as ,the Jntelllgent^ffl^VK^
1 TmTcan"only 'begone by first B?Tvlrig
in n sensible way the two fundamen
tal principie?-intelligent grading
and an abundant warehouse space.
When these two problems are solved
the matter of direct sales lo the man
ufacturer will be the next step, and
this will be the least troublesome if
wo will only solve the problems of
grading and warehousing.
Surely, South Carolinians, after
these many years of voluntary contri
butions of millions of dollars to
other interests, which contributions
represent their toll, their sacrifices
and the surrender of their financial
independence, will organize them
selves under the banner of the Amer
ican Cotton Associa Hon and carry
out to the fullest extent the sugges
tions of those who are gladly giving
their time and their best thought to
bringing about a condition where tho
cotton grower will participate on a
fair and just basis in the profits of
his invested capital and his labor.
Ypu are urged to attend these
meetings for your county, notice ns
to the dates of which will be given
below, and posters have been pro
vided giving the necessary Informa
tion in addition to the places and
dates of the meetings.
Very truly yours,

K, Itoosevolt, of Now York, assistant
Secretary of tho Navy, was to-day
nominated for tho Vico Presidency
of tho United States by tho Demo
cratic National Convention, and be
eamo the running-mate of Governor
Cox, of Ohio, who wns oarllor in tho
day nominated for tho Presidency.
Cox Tine? Times Successful.
James Middleton Cox has been
th reo times Governor of Ohio-an
honor enjoyed by only onq other Ohi
oan, Hutborford B. Hayes.
Born on a farm, educated in tho
public schools, a printer's devil, a
school teachor, a newspaper repor
ter, a private secretary to a Con
gressman, owner, manager and pro
prietor of two newspapers, member
of Congress for three years, and
throe times Governor of his State,
is his record to date.
Business success paralleled his po
litical achievements and through his
own efforts Cox has amassed a for
tune. Mr. Cox became tho leader ot
the Democratic party in Ohio in
1912 when he was nominated for
governor. As one who had brought
radical changes in the State Con
stitution, ho took the field in its be
half. His first term as governor
was devoted chiefly to forwarding:
tho enactment of laws to put the
new State Constitution into effect.
But Ohio evidently was not pre
pared to assiinlllate all tho now law?
for Cox was dofeated for re-election.
But his party renominated him in
191 (I and he was re-olectod for a
third term in 1918, being tho only
Democrat to win In Ohio.
Legislation for which Governor
Cox is best known includes a model
workmen's compensation law and a
child labor law which have boon ex
tensively copied by othor States.
Educators .of the country say the
Ohio school code, enacted under
Govornor Cox's direction, will
ns a monument to his achievements.
Mr. Cox was born In Butler coun
ty, Ohio, In 187 0. Ho attended dis
trict Schoo1 and held his first posi
tion as a teacher of tho school In
which ho took his first lossons. Ho
spent ovonings and holidays In a
printing offco. In a few years ho
rocoived his first assignment on tho
reportorial staff of tho Cincinnati
Enquirer.
After ten years with tho Enquirer
ho wont to Washington as a private
secrotary to Congressman Paul Sore,
of Ohio. At tho close of this ser
vice ho purchased tho Dayton Daily
News, borrowing most of tho money
to pay for it. Later ho purchased
tho Springfield Dally Nows. Ho was
first elctod to Congross In 1908.
Ho rocently purchased tho farm
near Jacksonboro upon which ho
was born and is making it into a
modorn farm homo whore ho expects
to llvo on retirement from public
office. He ls married and has four
children.
lt ls estlmatod that it would now
cost moro than $6,000,000,000 to
replace tho freight cars in tho Uni
ted States.
