NewberrY Coulty (.otton (ower's a1'ocIa had annnneed through is )resi<lent. 3ir. 1. T. C. Hunter that Mr. E. D. Smith. president of the State Cotton Gower's association. would be in Newberry yesterday and deliver an address. About two hun dred or more of farmers came to New berry for the purpose of hearing Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith did not come. He i it not 4end any message as to why he did not appear. The meeting was not call to order until about 1 o'clock hopinz that Mr. Smith would come on one or the other of the midday trains. President Hunter tried to reach some body connected with his office in Co lumbia, but failed. Mr. Fred Long, who was at Edgefield last week where Mr. Smith spoke. stated that Mr. Smith told him that he would be here yesterday. That is the last messa-ge which has been received from Mr. Smith. This is about the third time that Mr. Smith has disappointed the New berry farmers. Mr. Hunter pomised the meeting yesterday thwtAie would endeavor to get some explanation from Mr. Smith f- eing his failure to be here yesterday and that he wouIld publid the reasons in the the county papers, or failing to secure any reasns, would advise the farmers to thateffect. It/ as a great disappointment, for areat many of the farmers left their .ork in order to hear the speech of Mr. Smith. Despite the fact that Mr. Smith was absent, however, there was a good meeting and it will no doubt. result in the reorganization and the revivitying of the Newberry County Cotton Grower's association. Mr. Hunter, in calling th. meeting to order, stated that even though some1 of the farmers were put out because of Mr. Smith's failure to come, and even though Mr. -Smith probably has not treated the farmers of this coun ty as they deserve .to be, that was no reason for condemning the cotton as sociation. In this day everything is in a com bine, and if the farmers fail to meet combination with combination they may expect to be at the mercy of t.he great combine of the country. The far mers cannot expect to' make money or even to exist until they do combine in order to meet combination with combination. Not for the purpose of fighting any one, but if any one gets in the way and is hurt, is it simply his fault. Mr Hunter stated that we had prae tically~ no organization in this coun-f tv. The election of officers should have been in December, but though he tried very hard only two persons came. The farmers in the Cotton Grower's Association can do a great deal of good -in maintaining the price of cotton and there is no conflict be tween the Cotton Grower's Associa tion and the Farmers' Union. We know that we cannot make money with cotton at 4 cents and even at 10 cents, with the present price of la bor. there is no money in growing cot ton, but it makes no difference as to t'he price, the farmers should have ome say a's to what that should be. There is no sense in making cotton and taking less for it than it cost to make it. It woulld be better to make no cotton, for we can live in this country without growing cotton. In the Cotton Grower's Association every citizen of the south is entitled to membership if 'he feels an interest in the prosperity of this section. Mr. Hunter also said there seemed to be some mistake about the cotton asso eation going into the banking busi ness. It was not the purpose of the cotton associatiort t-o engage in bank ing. It was their purpose to estab lish cotton warehouses and to secure from the banks now in existence money on receipts issued by these warehouses. Mr. Hunter expressed a desire that a cotton association sh6uld be revised. Mr. Alan Johnstone stated that 1Mr Hunter was still the president and would remain so until his suceessor was elected: ,he felt that the associa tion in this county should be reorgan ized. Those who belonged to the Far mers' Union felt that that organiza tion would grow, but there are certain reasons why it cannot take in all of the people and the cotton association can take in every man in the south, and it puts us in touch with other in terests. He was gratified at the in terest manifested by the business men of Newberry. When they were asked to close their stores on yesterday in ':rde1 that they might hear the speech of Mr. Smith, 'all the business men areed readily to close up. Every in terest recognized the fact that better rce cotton meant greater prosperity for the south. Therefore this organ-' izan shul not fall still-born. Mr. Johnstone believes there was some reason beyond the control of Mr. Smith of his failure to appear yes- Bl terday. In i:is absence the organiza tion should not fall through. there fore. lie moved that the present offi eers be reelecied. Mlr. Hunter said ti 11Che was a pliin-spoken nn and K ould not g-et his consent to serve th a,aiii unless he was assured of the S hearty co-operation of the other offi- T eers, and he felt that it would be bet- thi ter to have a new set of officers. The truth of the matter is, during the past da year Mr. Hunter has worked very - hard and has had very little co-opera- i tion and has really been the cotton M association of Newberry county. Sev ?ral other nominations were made for p president and they all declined. A committee composed of W. H. Miller. W. B. Counts, N. H. Young and J. A. C. Kibler was then appointed to nom inate officers They reported the fol lowing, who were unanimously elect ed: R. T. C. Hunter, president; W. C. Brown, vice-president; G. F. Long, 01 seretary; Alan Johnstone, treasurer. or Mr. Hunter stated that inasmuch th as the committee had seen proper to place his for nomination, he would pa not deeline, but he accepted on the condition that he would have the is hearty co-operation and support of the orfianization. He announced that 14 he would name the executive commit- lic tee later. P9 Mr. J. A. Sligh said that he felt he hould state that the nominations met Le his hearty approval; Mr. Hunter was the man for the position and he knew In that Mr. Hunter had worked hard to keep up the organization, and h# be- L lieved that he would continue to work fo for the organization, and he hoped that he would secure an executive bo committee that would assist him in p, his work. Dr. McIntosh stated that stl there was another question of vital on importance, in fact as Vital as that of on marketing and selling the cotton, and L( that was ,the effect of the decision of T( Judge Brawley in regard to labor con- Li tracts. He understood that an appeal In had been taken to the supreme court Si of the United States from the decis ion of Judge Brawley, and he moved ,t that he president of the association f<O get in communication with similar or- e ganization in other counties and ascer tain if they could be of any assistance he in furthering this appeal. This mo- k tion met with the hearty approval of .to the meeting and the resolution was A adopted. - s Mr. Sligh wanted to know what the status ~of the ease at present is. In othed words whether an a'ppeal,would stay the effect of Judge Brawley's de- e ision, and if the law could be en fored as it had been until the final fa determination of the case by. the su- i preme court of the United States. Mr. Alan Johnstone stated that he had consulted good legal authority and that opini,in was, that the contract law. stood until the final determina tion by the supreme court. The meet ing adjourned.
