Siniiii, president of th Stale ( wiion (ifinvcr's assoeialioi would I),, in Newberry yesterday am loliver an address. About two bnn "f farmers came to New berry fur I lie purpose of honrinjr .Mi Smith. Mr. Smith did not come. II lul m>l -end any message as to wh, 'ippo.ir. The meeliii-_>- wa 'dor until iiboiil I oVloel ''"I'i"- Hial .Mr. Smith would come oi yne or I lie oilier o|' i lie midday I rain.* J 'r. -ideni 11 iinler I t'icd In reach some i">ily conneoled witli his nlt'ico in Co li:mbia, bul Tailed. Mr. Fred Louwho was at Kdyo field last week who." Mr. Smith spoke, stated that Mt Smith told him that he would be her yesterday. That is the last messawhich has been received i'rom Mi Smith. This is about the third time tha Mr. Smitih has disappointed the New berry l-ariners. Mr. Hunter promise the mooting yesterdav that lie woul endeavor to yet so,,,,, explanatio I torn Mr. Smith louehinu: his failur Ih' vesterday and llmt h woui'd p u b I is.',, the reasons in fh ll,(' ''"H'Uy papers, or lailin- to scour any reasons, would advise the farmer i-i that effect. 11 was a ureal disappointment. fo ? Ureal many of the farmers left thci \vo,k ill order to hear the speech o Mr. Smith. Despite the fact that ^Tt Smith was absent, however, (here wa a irood ineetinjr and it will no donb result in the reorganization and Ih e\ ivit.yinir ot the Newberry Count I olion 11rower's association. Mi. Hunter, in callin"' the moot in o order, staled thai oven lhou?h som "I the farmers wore put out bocans o| Mr. Smith s failure (o come, au< even though Mr. Smith probably ha not treated the farmers id' this conn t.v as thov deserve to be. that was u reason for oondomnin<? the cotton as <oeiat ion. In lhi> day everything is In a com bine, and it' the fanners fail to nice combination with combination the may expect to !>e at the mercy of till ureal combine of the ecunlr.v. The far ""'r* cannot expect to make mono; ?r even to exist until they do eonibin in order to meet combination wit combination. Not for the purpose o I iu'hl iiiir any one. bul if any one iret in the way and is hurl, is it simnl his fault. Mr Hunter slated that wo had prac I ically no organization in this conn ly. The election of officers slioul have been in December, but t lions? ne tried very hard only | wo person came. I he farmers in the Cotlo ' rower s Association can do a uto.m leal of yood iu maintaiuins? the pric "I" cotton and there is no conflict In ' ween the Cotton (Jrower's Associj' lion and the Farmers' Cnioii. \Y know that wo cannot make mono with cotton ill 1 cents and even at 1 cents, with the present price of b bor. there is no money in urowim_r col t<?ii, but ii makes no difference as t 'lie price, the farmers should hav some say :is to what l-liat should In I here is no sense in making' cot to land takim? less for it than it cost t | make it. It would be belter to mak no cotton, tor we can live in thi country without .yrowiny cotton. 1:1,1 ' "iton (irower's Associatio e\ cry citizen ot tin' south is entitle Jo membership if he feels an in tore* in the prosperity of this section. M Hunter also said there seemed to h some mistake about the cotton assi ciaiion ifo'iny into the banking bus ness. It was not the purpose ot' th cotton association to oniiaue in haul, i'i.!?. ll was their purpose to ostal lish cotton warehouses and to seem I Com the banks now in oxistonr money on receipts issued by ibos warehouses. Mr. Hunter expressed desire that a (otton association shoul be revised. Mr. Alan Johnstone staled that M Hunter was still the president an would remain so until his success* was elected: lie felt that tin- assoei; J ion in this county should bo rooruat i/ed. Those who belonged to the Fai mors' Fnion felt that that ort-ani/j lion would srrow. but there are certai reasons why it cannot lake in all n I lie people and the cotton associatio can take in every man in the soutl and it puts us in touch with other it I crests. He was "-ratified at t-he ii forest manifested by the business me of Newberry. When they were askc to close their stores on yesterday i [' i'<lci thai they mijrlit hear the speec | of Mr. Smith, all the business me a;reed readily to close up. Every ii terest recognized the fact that belle price cotton meant .area lor prosporit lor the south. Therefore this or^ai ization should not fall still-born. M Johnstone believes there was soni reason beyond the control of Mi s Smith d| his iailure to appeal- ves terday. In his absence the oruanizti lion should not fall through, '.lure I" re. lit' moved that I he preseni oil! (,ers be reelected. .Mr. Hunter sal I 'hat he was a plain-spoken man am I <'"ui<l imi ye I hi.- consent to senaim in unless he was assured of III hearty eo-operation of the other ofli 'I eers. ami lie felt that it would be bet - ter to have a new set of officers. Th truth of tlif matter is, during the pas ' year Mr. Hunter has worked vcr Hliard ami lias liad very little co-opera V lion ami has really been the coiioi s association of Newberry countv. Sev !c era I other nominations were made fo ? president and they all declined. 1 commit lee composed of \\\ H. .Millei - \V. I'?. founts, X. ||. Young- and .1. A ('.

Long e secretary; Alan Johnstone, treasurer Mr. Hunter stated that inasniucl ^ as the committee had seen proper t< place his for nomination, 'he wouh " not decline, but he accepted on thi 1 condition that he would have tli< I hearty co-opcral.ion and support o '' the orlianization. lie announced tha ? I he would name the executive commit 0 j tee later. 0 i ' A. Sligh said that he fell hi 'should state that the nominations me j his hearlv approval; Mr. Hunter wa I the man for the position and lie knev thai Mr. Hunter had worked hard t< ..[keep up the organization, and he be t ! lieved that he would continue to worl M for (he or-ani/.alion. and lie hopet ( I thai he would secure an cxccutivi I eominillee that would assist him ii jhis work. Dr. Mcintosh stated tha j there was another question of vita r ; importance, in fact as vital as'thai o ~ 1 marketing and selling the cotton, am ^4 thai was .the effect of the decision o , ; .fudge lirawley in regard to labor con tracts. He undersloud that an appea | had been taken lo I he supreme cour I ?l tin- I nited States from the decis _ | ion of .Judge Brawley, and he nmvei that lie president of the associatioi gel in communication with similar or uani/ation in other counties and a seer lain if they could be of any assistanci y in furthering this appeal. This mo 0 I tion met with the hearty approval o "j the meeting and the resolution wa! ^ adopted. o ^ Mr. Slight wanted to know what tin status of the ease at present is. Ti s o|bed words whether an appeal wouh v slay the effect of Judge Ii raw ley's dc eision, ami il the law could be en lorced as it had been until the fina | delermination of the case by the sit ! preme court of the United Slates. Mi Alan Johnstone staled that he hai j consulted good legal authority am s | thai opiniin was, that the eontrac ! law stood until the final <h-lcrmina | lion by the supreme court.
