FUNDS POURING IN. Appeal of South Carolina Cotton As sociation Has Met With Prompt Responses. The appeal of the South Carolina Cotton association, says the Colum bia State, has met with prompt re sponses, and checks are now coming into the office of the treasurer, Mr. F. H. Hyatt. "You can't run an or ganization on wind," said Mr. Hyatt yesterday. So after a consultation with Mr. E. D. Smith and Mr. F. H. Weston he wired a great many of the cotton seed oil mills and textile mills in the state. It was 6 o'clock in the afternoon before the telegraph office had concluded sending off the mes sages and even before the last had been sent the responses began to ar rive. Following are some of the ans -wers from representative people: "Am pleased to be able to assist you."-Lewis W. Parker. "Draw on me personally for amount asked for. Press the good work."-G. F. Parrott, manager of the Lee county Manufacturing com pany. "Will contribute $25 towards the orgainization as requested."-Leroy Springs. "You may draw on me for $ioo as contribution to the Southern Cotton association."-Frank E. Taylor, As hepoo Fertilizer company of Charles ton. "We take great pleasure in contri buting $ioo, to Southern Cotton as sociation work."-Etiwan Fertilizer company. "We gladly contribute $100 for your cause."-Reed fertilizer com pany. "The Independent Cotton Oil com pany (of Darlington) will cheerfully make contribution desired."-R. Keith Dargan, president. "We will contribute $150 to help the Southern Cotton association." Anderson Phosphate and Oil com pany. "We will contribute with pleasure to the Southern Cotton association. Check mailed today for amount re quested."-Fort Motte Oil mill. "We are mailing you our check for $io."-Hartsville Oil mill. "We will send you check for $io." -Clinton Oil and Manufacturing company. "Draw on us for $1oo."-The W. G. MacMurphy company, Charles ton. "Make draft on us for $io."-Ker shaw Oil mills. "Draw on us for $io."-Farmers' Cotton Oil company of Brunson. In addition to these were several telegrams saying that certain m rill managers were not at their offices when the messages were received, but that the appeal of the Cotton Grow ers' association would receive favor able consideration upon the return of the respective parties in charge of the respective properties. Mr. W. S. Royster, in the absence of the resident manager of the F. S. Royster plant, gave a check for $50 which may be increased at a later day. The Taylor manufacturing com pany of Columbia subscribed $25, and the South Carolina Cotton Oil com pany, through Mr. H. E. Wells, gave $10o. Mr . Wells gave addition al assistance to the officers of the South Carolina Cotton association as did Mr. Christopher Fitz Simons, vice president of the Southern Cot ton Oil company, which has been asked to contribute from its New York offices $4o0 as the quota from. its mills in this State. Mr. Sanm'l. T. Morgan is the president of the com pany. The Chamber of Commerce. The Columbia Chamber of Coin wierce pledged itself to try to secure subscriptions amounting to '$i,ooo. This may appear impossible at first but when it is considered that so, many other towns are falling in line, Columbia cannot afford to lag be hind, especially as it is contemplated to establish here the headquarters of the State organization, which will be a part of the greater organization that will bring to the south millions of dollars as the increased selling price of cotton in addition to keeping out of the south millions of dollars worth of meat and grain which are to FROM EVERY COTTON STATE. Have Come Enthusiastic Reports of Conventions Held Last Tuesday. Atlanta, Ga., February 27.-From every cotton growing state in the south have come the most enthusias tic reports of the conventions which were held in the state capitals last Tuesday. Every convention was attended by hundreds of farmers, bankers, law yers, merchants and. other business men, and it was agreed everywhere that the salvation of the south de pended largely upon the reduction of the cotton acreage 25 per cent. from last year and the holding of the cot ton now on hand as far as practica ble. Conventions were held in Austin, Tex.; Atlanta, Ga.; Raleigh, N. C.; Columbia, S. C.; Memphis, Tenn.; Baton Rouge, La.; Jackson, Miss.; Little Rock, Ark.; Guthrie, Oka.; South McAlester, I. T.; and Mont gomery, Ala. Representative men in each state and territory were chosen to head the state divisions of the Southern Cotton asociation. Politics played no part in the selection of these officers, as the constitution of the Southern Cotton association is very strict on this subject, providing expressly that no officeholder in any state can hold a position in any state organization or in the southern organization. Ringing Resolutions Adopted. Ringing resolutions were adopted in each state and territory in which. the Southern Cotton association, which was formed at New Orleans in January, was heartily endorsed, and the plans formulated by that con vention lere adopted. Prominent men attended each con vention. They came from all sec tions of their respective states, show ing clearly how the people are in terested in the fight the farmers of :he south are making for the proper price for the world's greatest staple. Texas agreed to reduce the acreage 25 per cent.; so did Arkansas, Geor gia, Alabama, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississip pi, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory. It looks now as if the mavement has succeeded and as President Harvie Jordan announced some time ago, "victory is in sight." It is the first time in the history of the south that the cotton producers, the bankers, ~the merchants, lawyers, doctors, and every other interest combined to help get the proper price for cotton, and such a combination will be hard to defeat. Organizations are being perfected in every militia district in the south ern states. Organizations are already perfected in the counties, parishes and the states. And from all reports these organizations have come to stay. .Thousands Sign Pledges. Thousands of pledges have been sent in - to President Jordan, and he is now returning them to the secre taries of the various state organiza tilons. They came to President Jor dan before the state divisions wvere organized. It is very igratifying to Mr. Jordan and his associates to know how the people are rallying to the support of the great movement, and with the reduction in acreage which is now bound to be an actual fact, for not only the pledges assure it but weather conditions too, the price next fall is sure to be ten cents. Mr. Jordan states that all county and parish organizations should now communicate direct with the state secretar.ies elected at the meeting in the various staes last Tuesday. These secretaries will report to the gener al headquarters of the Southern Cot ton association at Monticello. R. G. Trefzer, the jewler of Union, who has been missing since last Tues day week, was found on Thursday afternoon by a searching party in Fair Forest Creek near the West Springs road.
