ORGANIZING GQUN1Y
CAMPAIGN FOR MEMBERSHIP IX
DILLON BEGAN MONDAY
Every School District Will Be Canvassed
from One to Three Times
in Big Drive.
Following the practical talk of the
state organizer, B. F. McLeod, and
the eloquent address of President
Snyder, of Wofford College, at the
court house last Thursday, the farmers
of Dillon county organized for
the big membership drive of the
South Carolina Association which began
Monday and will end today. Dr.
J. H. David, county chairman, pre*
' and introduced
siaeu m iue umtme
Mr. McLeod and Prof. Snyder. The
former outlined the plan of organization
while the latter showed the importance
of the farmers banding
themselves together tor their mutual
protection. Both addresses were along
strong practical lines, and those who
heard Mr. McLeod and Prof. Snyder
left the meeting with the determination
to go out and work for a permanent
organization in Dillon county.
Every school district and township
in the county will be canvassed
for members a'nd if you refuse to join
when you are first called upon, a
second committee will call on you,
and a third committee and so on until
you join the ranks of your brethren
who are fighting to secure the farmer
a legitimate profit on his labor.
Meetings were held in every county
in the state las week preliminary to
the campaign and in almost all of
the counties great crowds heard the
speakers and evinced great enthusiasm
for the organization. Every
farmer, merchant, banker, business
and professional man in the state
will be asked to join. The prosperity
of the South is dependent on the
prosperity of the cotton farmer. In
this way it is figured that men of every
calling should be as vitally interested
in the association as the farmer
who grows cotton.
Plan or Organization.
The organization will extend into
the townsnips of the county and the
wards of the city. The plan for the
permanent organization provides for
township associations. Each township
^association shall elect a township
. JMfciairnian, a vice chairman, a secrean&
three members of the county
IF beard of directors.
* The county board of directors, consisting
thus of three members from
each township and ward, shall elect
a president, a vice president, a secretary
and an executive committee,
consisting of the president, the vice
president and five members of the
bo'ard of directors, of the state association.
All county associations are
branctco of the state association.
The state organization will. con
sist of a board or directors, composed
of three members from each cotton
producing county of the state..
The board of directors is charged with
the duty of naming a president, a
first vice president, and seven other
members of the board of directors.
Objects of Association.
The South Carolina Cotton Association
will be an integral part of the
American Cotton Association. The ob_
jects und purposes of the American
Cotton Association are set forth as
follows:
1. To protect the interests of the
cotton producer and to improve his
condition.
2. i'o promote economic regulation
of production to the end that
supply shail be so adjusted to demand
that the producer shall at no
time be required to sell his product
at less than a fair and reasonable
profit.
3. To promote intelligent diversification
of crops, and to develop
markets for such crops, other than
cotton, as may be profitably raised.
4. To improve and^enlarge presently
existing warehousing facilities and
to secure additional facilities to the
end that the producer may carry his
crop, or such part as he may desire,
at the minimum of expense and physical
damage and at the maximum of
security and financibility.
5. To broaden the market for raw
cotton and to enlarge the uses for
cotton and cotton goods.
6. To improve and increase transportation
and distribution facilities.
7. To collect information as to both
domestic and foreign consumption of
cotton, the state of trade, the extent
of acreage, supply and condition of
crop, and all other information of
practical interest to the cotton industry,
and to disseminate the results
through the several sub-organizations
to every member of every community,
together with directions as
to the course to be pursued in order
lo secure the best results in view
mif the facts disclosed.
3. To do all and singular whatso^mer
may be conducive to the stabil11%and
profitableness of the cotton
producing industry.
The American Cotton Association
will establish offices in every cotton
consuming country of tlie world. The
experts in charge of these offices will
report regularly to the American Cot
ton Association as to the supply and
i demand, etc. The American Cotton
Association will send these reports to
the State Association and they will
be sent out by them to each indivir
' PRESIDENT APPEALS TO PUBLIC

War Demands of Kail way Shopmen
Postponed by President.
Washington, Aug. 25?The Presi-!
dent's statement addressed to the i
; public follows:
"My fellow citizens:
"A situation has arisen in con1
nection with the administration of
the railways which is of such general
significance that I think it my duty
to make a public statement concerning
it, in order that the whole country
may know what is involved.
"Tim roilrnuH chnninon havo rlf>
manded a large increase in wages, j
They are now receiving fifty-eigljt,
sixty-three and sixty-eight cents peri
hour. They demand eighty-five cents
per hour. This demand has been
j given careful and serious consideration
by the board which was constituted
by the railroad administration
j to adjust questions of wages, a
board consisting of an equal number
| of representatives of employes and of
j the operating managers of the railjroad
companies. This board has been
I unable to come to an agreement and
it has therefore developed upon the
director general of railroads and myself
to act upon the merits of the case.
Case Xot Parallel.
"The shopmen urge they are entitled
to higher wages because of the j
I higher wages for the present received
by men doing similar work in ship
| yards, navy yards and arsenals, as
well as in a number of private industries,
but I concur with the director
general in thinking that there is
no real basis of comparison between
the settled employment afforded mechanics
by the railroads under living
conditions as various as the location
and surroundings of the railway |
shops themselves and the fluctuating!
[employment afforded in industries ex-j
jceptionally and temporarily stimulat-i
| ed by the war and located almost
without exception in industrial centers
where the cost of living is highest.
"The substantial argument which
the shopmen urge is the very serious
increase in the cost of living. This is;
a very potent argument indeed. Butj
I ~ . * v. ? ...t ii?u>
me iati is umi iuc tuai ui iiviug i
'has certainly reached its peak and
will be probably lowered by the ef- {
forts which are now everywhere being j
concerted and-carried out. It will cer-!
tainly be lowered so soon as there
are settled conditions of productions!'
and of commerce, that is so soon as |
the treaty of peace is ratified and in j
operation and merchants, manufac-|
turers, farmers, miners all have a,
certain basis of calculations as to
what their business will be and "what '
the conditions will be under which it
must be conducted, therefore and all 1
similar demands are in effect this:
"That we make increase in wages,
I which are likely to be permanent in
'order to meet a temporary situation
j which will last nobody can certainly
tell how long, but in all probabilities
only for a limited time. Increase
in wages will, moreover, certainly result
in still further increasing the j
costs of production and, therefore,
the cost of living and we should only!
jhav.-? to go through the same process
again. Any substantial increase ofj
wages in leading lines of industry at'
this time would utterly crush the'
general campaign which the governiment
is waging with energy, vigor'
and substantial hope of success, to
'reduce the high cost of living. And:
;the increase in the cost of transports i
:tion which would necessarily result j
;from increased in the wages of railway
employes would more certainly1
land inore immediately have that ef-l
feet thun any other enhanced wage;
costs. Only by keeping the cost of
production on its present level, by
increasing production and by rigid
economy and saving on the part of
! the people can we hope for large decreases
in the burdnsonie cost of liv-i
i ing which now weights us down."
"The Dirtcor General of Railroads
and I have felt that peculiar responsibility
rests upon us because in de-i
termining this question we are no; \
i studying the balance -sheets of corporations
but in effect determining
!the burden of taxation which must
fall upon the people of the country
in general. We are acting not for
private corporations, but in the- name
of the government and the public,
iand must assess our responsibility
accordingly. For it is neither wise notfeasible
to take care of the increases
| in the wages of railroad employes at
this time by increasing freight rates.1
It is impossible at this time, until
peace has come and normal condi-!
tions are restored, to estimate what
the earning capacity of the railroads
will be when ordinary conditions re-'
turn. There is no certain basis, therefore,
for calculating what the increases
of freight rates should be, and
it is necessary, for the time being at'
any rate, to take care of all employes'
(through appropriations from the pub-j
lie treasury.

The American Cotton Association
has accomplished much without organization.
The statement has been
made on Alio floor of the United!
' States Senate that the association i

including the shopmen themselves fce]
when they have taken a second j
thought, and t0 all wage earners of BU1
every kind, that we ought to post- ^i
pone questions of this sort until normal
conditions come again and we e(j
have the opportunity for certain cal- gh
culations as to the relation between h0]
wages and the cost of living. It is <
the duty of every citizen of the coun- ou
try to insist upon a truce in such tri]
contests until intelligent settlements wh
can be made, and made by peaceful
and effective common counsel. I
appeal to my fellow citizens of every
employment t0 cooperate in insisting
upon and maintaining such a
true and to cooperate also in sustaining
the government in what I
conceive to be the only course which
conscientious public servants can pur. 0]L
sue. Demands unwisely made and pas- C01
sionatelv insisted upon at this time en
menace the peace and prosperty of fr(J
the country as nothing else could,
and thus contribute to bring about tri]
the very results which such demands jn^
are intended to remedy. tht
"There is, however, one claim jf
made by the railway shopmen which wa
ought to be met. They claim that ce{
they are not enjoying the same advan- aj
tages that other railway employes are |^h
enjoying because their wages are cal- i h0
culated upon a different basis. The bu
wages of the other railroad employ- an
es are based upon the rule that they th<
are to receive for eight hours' work grj
the same pay they received for the st0
longer work day that was the usual pa;
standard of the pre-war period. This we
claim is, I am told well founded and bu
I concur in the conclusion of the Di- he
rector General that the shopmen tei
ought to be given the additional four Tu
cents an hour which the readjustment
asked for will justify. There are Vei
certain other adjustments, also, an
pointeed out in the report of the Di- de;
rector General, which ought in fair- he
ness to be made, and which will be tie
made.
"Let me add, also, that the position
which the government must in conscience,
take against general in- th;
creases in wage levels while the pres-jto'
ent exceptional and temporary eir-led
cumstances exist will of course not 8ej
preclude the Railroad Administra- t^(
tion, from giving prompt and care
ful consideration to any claims that pr
may be made by other classes of Qn
employes for readjustments believed er
to be proper to secure impartial ^
treatment for all who work in the ju,

>AYS POISON WILL
KILL BOLL WEEVIL.
Senator Itansdell Lives llesults ot'
Calcium Arsenate Tests.
Washington, Aug. 25?According
o Senator kunsdell, of Louisiana,)
vho is himself -a large grower of cot011,
the boll weevil is about to be con[uered
by poison.
The Louisiana Senator, with fre-l
luent corroboratory inteiruptions by j
Senator Harrison, of Missippi, who j
s familiar with similar experimentsj
onducted in that State by the De-1
tartnient of Agriculture, made a deailed
statement on the subject to the
Jenate a few days ago.
Mr. Ransdell's own words will give1
he substance of his conclusions in a
vay to interest all cotton growers:
"Mr. President, it is thought by
hose who have investigated the subect
carefully and I am one of them,!
hat a remedy for the boll weevil pest
ncotton has been discovered through
l poison known as calcium arsen,te,
which was developed in Tallulah,
..a., at an experiment station conlucted
for the Department of Agriulture
by Mr. B. B. Coad, an able
cientist, under the Bureau of Enomology.
"Some of the largest planters in the
lississippi Delta have tried it extenively.
One of these is Prof. J. W.
^ox, of Scott, Miss., who is general
nanager of the largest cotton planation
in the world. He says in a
etter addressed to me under date of
tugust 15: 'I am now ready to say
inqualifiedly that this poison will
ontrol the weevil at a cost which is
ot prohibitive.' Another very large
lanter of Mississippi is Mr. Alex, Y.
icott, who is manager of several sucessful
plantations near Rosedale.
le indorses the poison in unqualified
anguage.
"Then I have a letter from Mr. A.
V. Barrett of Albany, Ga., to which
call the attention of the Senator
roni Georgia. This letter seems to
udorse the poison very strongly and
alls the attention of the people of
Georgia to it.
"Mr. Coad gives the results of exeriments
made by a gentleman in
.ouisiana, Mr. F. J. Venerable, of
eanerette. He made a test last year
n a small field of five acres of coton?two
fields rather, or two and
ne half of each plat was poisoned
nd the other half not poisoned. Mr.
load says: 'Average yield per acre
or the two varieties of cotton tested
y Mr. Venerable was 159 pounds of
int cotton per acre in his untreated
otton and 4 63 pounds of lint cotton
er acre in his poisoned cotton.' Anyne
who is a cotton grower knows
hat that is a marvelous gain; that a
ield of 4 63 pounds of lint cotton is
very satisfactory yield and that 159
ounds is certainly not profitable.''
