** ?' TEXAS ASKS FIFTY CENTS FOR COTTON President Wannamaker Declares I That Cotton is Selling Below Cost. ?t * . New Orleans, Sept. 8.?Five hundred delegates, representing ten leading cotton States gathered in the Grunewald assembly room, heard President J. S. Wannamaker open the meeting of the American Cotton Association this morning by reading a personal letter from President Wilson in which he commended its "excellent purpose" and said, "I confident* ly look for helpful results from it." President Wannamaker laundhed at once into organization and called on each State to appoint two' members on several important commitr tees. Welcoming addresses were made 1? Pakmvion fiAwamnr Plpas | uy iuajr V/i JL?CU1UAC*U) vavt . ant, of Louisiana, and others and in replying in an eloquent address, after which he was compelled to rise and respond to continued applause, Thomas J. Shackelford, of Athens, Ga., chairman of the finance committee, declared that whoever "solves the problem of a fair price for cotton has solved all the problems of the South." j > ( Commissioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown, of Georgia, was named by President Wannamaker chairman of the committee on recommending a minimum price for cotton. This committee will report Tuesday morning and predictions vary as to the figure that will be fixed. Georgia delegates are talking 37 1-2 cents,. . -while Texas is shooting as high as 50 cents. Discussion in this com mittee is expected to be quite warm. Govrenor Dorsey on Hand. \ Governor Hugh M. Dorsey and j ' Senator Hoke Smith came in on the' - - .? 1* 1 ! morning train and both were coraiai, ly received. Senator Smith, a charter member of the association, spoke > at the afternoon session and gave some good suggestions in connection " with organization. Governor Dorsey by special invfation, will preside at -all* sessions of the association Tuesday. , .In a keynote speech, President Wannamaker said he proposed to send a commission direct from this meeting to President Wilson to ask him to call a meeting of representative hankers, merchants and pro ? Queers in Washington, from all sec- j tions of the country, to devise ways and means of extending the needed | European credits to prevent calam-1 ity. This committee has been named,' with John S. Holder, of Georgia, as J chairman. * President Wannamakeri declared cotton is today selling be-! low the cost of production, and. quoted figures prepared by W. W. J Morrison, of New Orleans, showing | T that it cost 34.56 per pound average, to grow this season's crop; and that if cotton today were selling at the j ^ same relative value as other products J it would be bringing 48.06 cents a | pound. He showed Europe must have prompt credits to avoid calam- j ' ity and is willing to take American j cotton at a fair price. The associa- j tion, he said, is pushing a bill in congress to require the* department of agriculture to make periodic re- j ports on acreage abandonment, as this is a vital factor in determining i | the supply. Another law sought is to provide for the designation in the South of "ware houses of delivery" so that lMirnhnsprs nf future contracts can demand delivery at southern ware- j r* houses. To Handle "Distress Cotton" L. D. Jennings, of South Carolina, introduced a resolution pledging all delegates present to use their besefforts to establish in every cotton county in the South a corporation to take care of distress cotton. A special committee was named to devise plans for carrying out the purposes of this resolution. L. S. Tomlinson, of North Carolina, was appointed j chairman of the committee on permanent organization. Many letters and telegrams were | ^ re*d, among the'm being one from P. H. Fletcher, of Forsyth, Ga., read at the afternoon session, in which he said: "Cotton is going down every . . day Europe is not able to buy. I will have about 100 bales this fall. I will sell half of my cotton through the American Cotton Association to foreign spinners on one year's credit. Get everyone who is able to do this and we can whip the fight. The half we keep at home will be worth as much as the entire crop." ' There were many other telegrams along similar lines, some declaring j cotton should bring 50 cents or more, "Tke Rats Around My Place Were Wise," Says John Tuthill. "Tried everything to kill them. Mixed poison with meal, meat, cheese, etc. Wouldn't touch it. Tried RAT-SNAP. Inside of ten days got rid of all rats." You don't have to mix RAT-SNAP with food. Saves fussing, bother. Break a cake of RAT-SNAP, lay it where rats scamper. You will see no more. Three sizes, 25c, 50c, $1.00.

The Baptists of Newberry county 1 have fallen in line. Last Wednesday 1 the Reedy River association enthusi- < astically endorsed the sevenety-five c million campaign and accepted its i ( apportionment of $104,164 without , i a dissenting vote. J i It was a great meeting in every j s way. The attendance was unusually ; * large, every .church being represent- j ed, save Prosperity, which is com-, ? posed almost exclusively - of women.; c Enoree church, the hostess of the j 1 body, entertained the delegates and j I visitors most hospitably with dinner j e on the church-yard and! homes thrown j a wide open to all. U Organization was effected Tues- t day by the, reelection ctf Moderator c I. H. Hunt and Clerk J. Y. Jones, j i and the election of Mr. Chas. S. Su- P ber as treasurer to succeed the late , c lamented I. M. Smith. Letters from , t the various churches were read and j reports 'were submitted on objects ' c of benevolence fostered by the de- i nomination without discussion on the ( first day as such causes are all em- ; n ' ' > J. i ?n Dracea m me greai, campaign which * had the right of way Wednesday. An s interesting if melancholy feature of a Tuesday's proceedings was the report v on obtuaries with the heartfelt trib- t utes to the late Deacon I. M. Smith a by Dr. W. H. Hunt and others. Not only Bush River church, but the en- c tire association which he had served , c as treasurer from time immemorial, Q will continue to miss the presence , and services of this truly good man. ^ Wednesday's program was featured n 1 1-1 - _ J J T'U^v t Dy mree nuutuie auu;eases. xnc first was by Dr. Z. T. Cody, editor d of the Baptist Courier and a member a of the commission recently appointed d by Southern Baptists to visit war-, swept Europe and investigate the , ^ needs of its suffering people and the opportunities presented for missionary work. The others were by Rev. * S. H. Templeman, pastor of Laurens j First Baptist church and campaign! organizer of the Laurens association, | and Rev. Thos. J. Watts, Sunday!, school secretary and campaign pub- 11 licity director for South Carolina., ^ Enthusiasm was now at high tide. A t] motion was presented that the associ-1 v ation accept the apportionment as-'n signed and "assure our brethren, the a Southern Baptist hosts, that we are c with them, heart and soul, thirteen ^ hundred strong." There was - a j chorus of seconds and Moderator pro . P I X tem Burriss asked that all who de-,1 sired to second the motion indicate ^ it by rising. There was such an over- j11 ' ' i-i. _i. i ' ?

'HOLD COTTON" SMITH URGES Georgia Senator Tells Farmers to Stand Together. New Orleans, Sept. 8.?Declaring ;he Southeastern States would today ?e in a vastly more pro-perous con-1 lition if they had never raised a bale j >f cotton, Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in an address late today be'ore the meeting of cotton growers, 'actors and bankers, urged the necessity of holding cotton until the denand created a satisfactory price. "I earnestly hope," said the Georgia senator, "that the farmers will juit raising cotton in America uness they can receive a- vastly better j if V/Mi win of tnorpth- ! /JL ILt 1V1 It* X VU 111V40V h^VUliU VV^ V.

"In the j neantime," he said, "while gradually | elling your cotton, plant foodstuffsj nd raise cattle and hogs. Let the j t'orld understand that you will meet | he situation next fall, independent nd owning your cotton." He endorsed the cooperative priniples of the American Cotton assoiation and referred to the cotton uestion as national, not sectional.
