COTTON ASSO. OF [ GREAT BENEFIT > C." ' Columbia, Janr^ 12;?That the * American Cotton-Association has been of immense value tfc the cotton growers of the South is the opinion of R. H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufac? - t ?- v >.j.x turers Record, expressed m a ieuer made public yesterday by R. M. Mixson, president of the South Carolina Cotton association* R^ery - cotton grower in the South should be identified witIF the associiatlon says the Baltimore editor, who. declares that the association's success will meanN the contiued prosperity of cotton growers. "I am in hearty sympathy with your campaign for building, up the American Cotton Association, "says Mr. Edmonds fh his letter, ''that organization has been of immense value to the cotton growers of the South. It has been the first aggressively add" continuous aggressively managed . organization which in all my experience has ever , undertaken to save the cotton growers of the South from the terrific fight which has been made through the last century to hold down that price of cotton. We* have had many at tempts to do this work in the past; we have had some splendid cotton conventions which have steadied the cotton situation, hut none of them ever developed into an organization such as that of the American Cotton, association. Since its organization its management has "been intelligent, aggressive, and untiring; [ i "I am constantly amazed at the virV ility and ceaseless activity of Presi' ... dent Wannamaker. He must be-overworking himself, I do not think it possible for any living man to throw continually into any work the tremendous nervous energy which he is putting into this association with-out endangering his own health. Every cotton grower and. every other honest near-tea man laenunea m any way ' * with the South or with the cotton trade of the world is under an obligation to Mr. Wannamaker, and to his co-workers in this association*. The cotton growers " themselves wil lreap many millions of dollars of profit from the work -of this association. fXxtey should cooperate to the utmost . extent with the campaign which has beep so splendidly organised and so vigorously pushed to make the world realize the need of paying a full price for cotton, "t?very cotton grower in the South, the hig land owner as well as the email tenant farmers, should be identified with this, organization and snouid contriDut? to its maintenance. Its success will mean the continued prosperity, of . cotton .growers. It through lack of cooperation on the part of cotton growers the work of this organization should ever he limited, the cotton bears would once more have the opportunity to heat down the price and, bring poverty to the growers of the South. Every moral interest in the South should be pledged in favor of the work of the American . y Cotton association. Its success means j better schools, less illiteracy, better j reads, better churches, in the country * !

The bankers, the merchants, and the manufacturers, the preachers and the teachers of the South, indeed every other man who is not a cotton gambling bear leeching the life blood of the cotton grower should be interested in this organization and its work. They should not be interested passively only but actively assisting in every way possible that the whole spirit of the world's cotton trade may be brought to realize the necessity of protecting the ootton growing interests of the South in order that this section while reaping the abundant harvest of proseprity out of a profitable crop should at the-same time, be contributing to "the welfare of the entire civilised world." watekingford nmws.
