A meeting of the Cherokee County Cotton Growers’ Association was held at the courthouse Saturday. Presi dent Sarratt addressed the meeting in a nice, interesting talk about the Na tional Farmers’ Congress, which met in Richmond, Va., a short time ago, and which he attended as a delegate from Cherokee. At this meeting resolutions were offered and adopted to the effet that, as the crop was short this year, no cotton be placed upon the market for less than eleven cents; and that the members of •the association should patronize the cotton warehouse in this city. Arrangements were made with both banks of the city whereby money could be obtained upon the warehouse receipts. Mr. G. W. Bonner entered the mark et yesterday morning to buy solely from members of the association who desired to sell their cotton, and the cotton so bought will be stored and kept out of the regular cotton market. Soon after Mr. Bonner began buying, cotton went up from 10:20 to 10:25. NOTICE.

Relative Dlfferenc In 1904 and 1905 and Reaaona Therefor. Thirteen good common sense reas- son why we made a big crop in 1904: 1st. Winter of 1902-4 was frozen the entire season, thereby pulveriz ing the soil to a great depth. > 2nd. Srlng of 1904 was good weath er for preimring and planting the crop in good condition. 3rd. At no time during the year was the planter compelled to plow ills land too wet. Never was a more favorable time for subsoiling the clay of 1903-4 winter. 4th. Summer of 1901 was fine weather for cultivating the crop, which was well done. 5th. The month of August was very seasonable to the growth of the crop. fith. The fall was fine for making and gathering the crop. 7th. The soil was well supplied with all of the properties of the earth pertaining to plant food. 8th. Land owners were in good fi nancial condition, influenced to attend to their farms, and labor was plenti ful. being increased by high pricetl cotton, therefore crops were better cultivated. 9th. Under the foregoing good con ditions brought together, the land was exhausted of plant, food bv mak ing such a large crop of cotton in 1904. 10th. While there was a large amount of guano used in 1904, and no leaching rains, the cotton crop got the exclusive benefit of the guano and produced a large crop. 11th. All of the cotton crop of 1904 was well matured and gathered. 12th. Under the above good condi tions, produced a crop of 13.500,000 bales, the largest eyer made, and which broke the world’s record. 13th. The stalk had five locks to the boll in 1904, on an average, which is 20 per cent, higher than in 1903, and lint per hundred G to 8 per cent, higher. Good reasons why we can't make a crop in 1903: 1st. Winter of 1904-5 was rainy, and snow fell, followed by .heavy rains, which leached and packed the land together to a great depth. 2nd. Spring of 1905 was bad .weath er for preparing and planting the crop, which could not he finished, owing to continued rains. 3rd. The planter was compelled to plow his land tor) wet or lose his crop; and at no time could he have subsoiled it. 4th. Summer of 1905 was too wet for cultivating the crop, which was badly done and followed by a drought which checked the growth. 5th. The month of August was rainy and started a new growth in the plant, which caused shedding at a rapid rate. 6th. Tlie fall of 1905, which is on hand, is fine for gathering, hut very much against the maturing of late bolls, which are found on the stalk with one, two and three locks, and sometimes not one. 7th. The soil of 1905 being largely destitute of the properties contained in Mother Earth of 1904, and the grass of 1905 render it impossible to make over two-thirds of the crop of 1904, and I fear we won’t average it. 8th. Land owners were in good fi nancial standing at the beginning of 1905, and discouraged by low priced cotton, did not “get a move” on them selves, and labor being scarce, wages twice as high at times, work very heavy, and price of cotton low. crops were badly cultivated. 9th. The above bad conditions of 1905 render it possible to make only a short crop oi cotton this year, and therefore, can’t make over 9,750,000 bales. 10th. While there being a great deal of guano used this year. 1903, the leaching was enormous and Gen. Crabgrass very nearly cleaned up the balance, threfore the plant did not get much food this time and will not make much crop. 11th. All of the crop of 1905 will he gathered partly unmatured, owing to want of moisture, &c. 12th. Under above good conditions, we cannot produce a crop exceeding 10.000,000 bals. 13th. The stalk lias from one to four locks this year to the boll. 14th. And one extreme never fol lows another as a general rule. My estimation is 9,750,000 bales, based on these fourteen common sense reas ons. w. r. l. A Bit of History. Littleton Female College had pres ent on the first day: In 1901 .. ..80 hoarding pupils.
