GREAT MEETING
OF STATE UNION
MANY RESOLUTIONS PASSED.
Indorsing Various Lines of Work for
Botterment of the Agricultural
Class. j
Columbia, July. 27.?The State Par- "
mere' Uaton began its regular annual 1
session in the house of Representatives
to-night with President A. J. A. Perritt '
Id chair.
The programme of the Convention 3
is far aboTe the average in intelligence (
and there is an air of prosperity and
good will pervading the assemb age. '
Id some respects it is the most impor- '
taut meeting of the State Union he d '
In several years. Reports show the 1
Union to be strong and doing good [
work in its be-itur tc the farming 1
class.
At the meeting tonight definite plans
and arrangements were made 1
to reorganise the Union, wherever 1
necessary, in counties already organ- ;
lzed, and to push the work of organiz- 1
ing in those counties where organization
has not been perfected. The ad- 1
dress of State President Perritt show- 1
ed the Union in the State to be in a '
healthy condition. All accounts 1
against State Union have been paid 1
and a small balance is in the treasury. '
The report of the executive commit- '
tee shows a slight increase in the
membership of the order over its condition
a year ago. The committee on <
the revision of the constitution made <
its report and several amendments 1
looking to the good of the order were i
< ^ The number of members of <
the State executive committee was de- 1
creased from seven to three. I
The annual report of President Per- J
rltt was in part as follows: i
"We are g ad to note the good being I
done by the pure food law, and believe
the work of this law should be ex- i
tended. It has been reported and It 1
seems t? be true that the union is re- t
sponsible for a reduction in the priee t
of fertilizers. In addition to this it is 1
gratifying to know that many enter- 1
prises are being e 'ganlzed in different <
sections of the State for the purpose i
of aiding the members of the order. i
"The Union iu the country has <
grown to such dimensions as to com- <
mand the attention of our government I
officials and legislators. They are
trying to hud out in all matters what !
the farmers wish and legislation is :
being enacted according y. As an ed- I
ucator the Farmers' Union is of untold I
value. Our members are becoming ]
better farmers, better business men 1
and are making better homes, building .
better schools, improving roads and '
In many other ways showing that they '
are awaking to the importance and ;
nobility of the profession to which
they belong. These things suggest
the importance of more cooperation."
President Perritt suggested that the
members make every effort to own
meir ittnua, ejeti wen
houses, tobacco drying plants, grain
elevators and other buildings.
Should Have Help.
In very county, he said, able mem- 1
berg should b selected to cooperate
with the State officials in carrying on
the great work begun by this Union.
He exp aiued that it is too expensive
for the present, even if it were possible
for him to do so, to attend al
these meetings when able associates
in the community might do as well.
Mr. Perritt was given close attention
and he closed with much applause.
The report of the executive committee
was read by B. F. Keller. It
follaws:
"The executive committee of tb*
South Carolina State Farmers Union
begs leave to submit the following report
for the te.m beginning Ju y 1,
1909, and ending June 30, 1910, viz:
Owing to the aek of fuads for carry
lng on tbe work fhere has been no
general effort made at organization
within the last year, but in several
of the counties some good work has
been done in this direction. Notwithstanding
this fact your committee is
glad to be able to report that there
has been an increase in the paid up
membership.
"The committee recognizes the fact
that during the coming year special
efTort should be made to reorganize
old territory and to Introduce the
Union into new territory. To this end
they have formulated a plan for reorganization.
which they hope will be

TO CONSERVE VALUE
OF COTTON CROP
SCHEME ASSUMING SHAPE.
Would Make for Economy In Handling
and Promoting Interests of AIL
Boston, July 29.?Having Jor its
purpose the revolutionizing of the
cotton Industry of the United States,
\ conference was held today at the
pome of John Hays Hammond, Daniel
I. Sully, the New York operator, and
Scot Delgeish of Cairo Egypt, the
representative of the Hirsch syndicate
of London.
Briefly, the idea is to establls. warehouses
in all parts of the cotton prolucing
district of this country as well
ps in the manufacturing centres for
storing the cotton crop, so that instead
of selling It from hand to mouth, as
has been the practice heretofore, it
will be marketed th ough the entire
yea.* when desirable. It is believed
that economies will be effected in the
marketing of cotton, which will result
In a saving of vot less than $50,000,900
annually.
The General Cotton Securities company,
of which Mr. Hammond is president,
and Mr. Sully is vice-president
and general manager, is to be the organization
through which this economy
is to be effected. The Hlrsch syndicate,-it
is understood, haB already
underwritten the project.
Would Aid South Greatly.
Atlanta, Ga., July 29.?The project
:>f Daniel J. Sully and associates to
establish bonded cotton warehouses
throughout the South and at various
manufacturing centres throughout
the country. th<> tentative plajifi_-i?f
which have already been laid before
janksers and cotton factors of the
South by Mr. Sully in person, has met
with a favorable reception throughout
the cotton growing States.
Following the visit to Atlanta next
week of Messers. Sully and Dalgeish,
the Atlanta chamber of comraeres yesterday
adopted a resolution favoring
the establishment of a chain of warelouses
such as Mr. Sully proposed.
Mr. Haxton, president of the chamber
sf commerce, said the successful operation
of the Sully plan would greatly
aid the South in financing the cotton
crop and believed it would result in
;he saving of millions of dollars yearly
to the cotton growers.
During the recent visit of Messers.
Sully and Dalgeish to Atlanta it was
mnounce that the warehouses, which
It was planned to buy, or build
throughout the South in time for
handling much of the 1910 crop, would
be bonded by the Hirschc syndicate of
London. On the cotton stored in the
warehouses negotiable certificates are
to be issued, intended to be available
as collateral in either this country o)
Europe.
Plan to Help Farmers
Gloucester, Mass., July 29.?"An;>
formal statement of our plans would
be premature, as we have met today
only for an informal discussion of the
possibilities of the plan to establish
cotton warehouses," was the answe'.
that Messrs. Hammand, Sully and Dalgleish
made tonight when questioner
concerning the result of their conference
today. The conferees wished
to make it plain that their object in
considering uucn a pian was noi 10
corner cotton, but to help the cotton
raiser. Should their plan be consummate,
they said, they hoped to be about
the standardization of cotton and to
assist the grower In selecting the
proper seeds. No definite steps were
taken today and probably none would
be for sometime, they said.

of the fact that the South is constantly

cultural progress. It is one of the
results of a general movement throughout
the South in the direction of diversified
agriculture?a movement
which we are endeavoring to encourage
and assist as far as we can properly
do so."
As the farmers of the South increase
their yield of corn. th?*y will
save enormeous sums which they have
been spending in the West foi food
products and will consequently themselves
realize more from cotton and
other market crops. Economic authorities
ag"ee in declaring the American
corn ciop the basis of the coun
try's prosperity since in such a large
measure the production of other crops
in the South consequently means a
greater share of the prosperity for this
section.
