The annual cotton crop of the sout i the most valuable of any agricu tural product grown on the face the globe. Its annual sales amour in the aggregate for the raw mater al of more than six hundred millior of dollars, and when converted int the finished fabric, will sell for til enormous total of nearly two billior of dollars. It is due alone to the co t crop of the south that the balan< in favor of the Unite States in its commercial relatior with foreign countries. In 1904, tf exports of raw cotton amounted I more than one million dollars f( each ef the 365 days. And this thr( hundrea and sixty-five millions < dollars, which was sent to this com try in gold by the foreign spinne paid for only sixty-five per cent. < the crop produced, leaving the ba ance, or thirty-five per cent., to I woven into cloth under the roofs American mills. Coton Mills in The South. The enormous increase in the valt of the staple after it has passe through the loom, presents the higl st evidence of the necessity for tf ore rapid building of cotton mil n the south, and the exporting of ti: inished product from our shor< ther than that of the raw materiz he export of our raw cotton ai ually brings more gold into th country than the combined expor of all other agricultural products at agricultural implements shipped froi America to foreign countries. A crc of such magnitude in value, and or upon which the entire civilized worl so absolutely depends, should receii the immediate protection of - ever business interest in this country. N cotton grown in foreign countries r to the present time. can be deliver< at our ports at a less price than cents per pound. It is generally a mitted by experts which have inve tigated the efforts made to produ< cotton in foreign countries, that t to the present time, such efforts ha' been a failure, and it is extreme: doubtful if there will ever come a tin when foreign grown cotton can evi Sbe produced profitably in competitic with American grown cotton. Our Asiatic Trade. ~....It is confidently believed that ti Panama Canal will be opened to ti commerce of the high seas within ti next ten years. after which time, ti south will be in a position to secu: direct and quick trade relations wil the Asiatic nations of the Far Eat In China alone, more than four hu: <red and fifty millions of people a' rayand willing to wear cloth ma< from American cotton. In Japa more than forty-five millions of pet ple are equally willing to be cloth< from American grown cotton. Wii the introduction of our trade relatioi with three 'hundreds of millions people, a crop of fifty million bal, of cotton can be consumed with tl same case as'is now done with a cr< of ten millionis, among the civilizi nations of Europe and America. With these splendid possibiliti lying just ahead. only waiting f proper development, the time h come when the South must no long look to the mere matter of produ tion, but in the development of 01 agricultural resources, we must b gin to reach out for wider markets order to meet t'he rapidly develo ing agricultural conditions of tI south. Information and Co-Operation. The principal motive power need< t o advance and promote our intere a re splendidly equipped organiz< forces, operating in perfect harmor to reach a correct solution of tl problems which now confront t. This organization among our peop is being sought through the Southe: LCotton association, and t'he prospe fo succes s particulrly gratifyii at the present time The south pos sesses an abundance of brain, energy and manhood. In the veins of her people courses the highest type of An glo-Saxon blood: a race which has al ways been equal to every emergency and which -has invariably accomplish ed every great object which it has. un dertaken. What the south needs more than all things else. is information with reference to the matters outlinied -bove. Our people should know the splendid possibilities within their r. reach and how to develop their great - rcsouies. The time has come when e the new south will take on renewed (nergy and prepare to take iz.s stand in the front ranks of :he foremost h nations of +he world. - I have absolute confidence in the fi )f ture of my country, and believe the t time is rapidly approaching when the - south will be the richest and most de s sirable section of this great nation in 0 everything which pertains to advanc e ed agriculture. commerce, industrial S activity and the highest type of citi :- zenship of an educated common :e wealth. d Membership Dues. s The annual membership dues are e only 25 cents per member. The! fixed 0incorne of the association and of the r various state and territorial, county and parish organizations, is to be ob tained by an annual assessment of a few cents on each bale of cotton pro )f duced by its members in 1905, and a small per ceit. on the capital stock of its mem :s engaged in other lines e of busine.% throughout the south. This systeri will distribute the burden of maintaining the association equitably on all lines of business alike and enable the association to safe d guard and protect the great staple crop of the -i'h fr--m t-he deprcc e Fion influencc., of foreivn dominat;on [s Last December, without organized ef e fort, the spot holders of cotton in the s south were forced to submit to an ac tual loss of $20.00 per bale, and it was only after the great convention at s New Orleans on January 24th and the ts creation of the Southern .Cotton as d sociati(,i backed by the united efforts n of the farmers and other business in P terests in the south that the tidal e wave of depression was checked. d Since that time fully twenty-five mil e lion dollars in value have been added y to the spot cotton held in the south, o and this has been accomplished in the p face of intense opposition on the part d of the strongest combination ever or 4 ganized among the bear element of Sthe cotton interests of the world. -Get Together and Stick. The Southern Cotton association will gh'adly co-operate with all allied e organizations seeking to advance and promote the general welfare of the efarmers in particular and the business rinterests of the south in general. It wvill antagonize only those interests Iantagonistic' to the general welfare Iof our people. The Southern Cotton e association expects to have a mem e bership of two million earnest, active e worters before the end of the present e year. and through its broad yet com e pact business policies, absolutely pro htect and safeguard the future pros t perity of our 16,ooo,ooo population. There should be no antagonism from e any quarter among our own people, e but let us work in harmony for a com , mon cause and for a common pur Spose. d For detailed information write to hf the secretary of your state division or s~ to the secretary of the Southern Cot ton association, Richard Cheatham, s 92!
