GHEHOKEEFARMERS - MEET IN GAFFNEY. ADDRESSED BY OFFICERS OF COT TON GROWERS ASSOCIATION. Large Crowd Gather to Listen to Discussion 0 f Cotton Industry In the South. A crowd of probably six hundred people gathered in the court house Wednesday to listen to the officers of the Southern Cotton Association, ■who as iter schedule, were present to address the citizens of Cherokee. Before the hour of opening the meet ing had arrived seats were difficult to secure. The meeting was called to order by Hon. R. C. Sarratt, pres ident of the Cherokee County Cot ton Association, who | R a few apt words introduced three general of ficer* of the Southerp Cotton Asso ciation, as the orators of he day. F. H. Hyatt, Esq., treasurer of the Association, who is in Columbia, was the first speaker. Mr. Hyatt, had vis ited Gaffney before in company with Senator Latimer, while addressing the people of the State on the sub ject of good roads. He took occa sion here to again refer to good roads and their construction. He also took up the subject of road machinery, say ing that in his opinion, it was not ad visable to purchase road machinery ject of good roads. He took occas- visable to purchase road machcinery until such machinery is thoroughly understood, especially in a young county. In his opinion, it is well to build good dirt wads a nd let the ma cadam come later. As he expressed it. his speech was like unto a mtince pie, full of many things, and we might also add, many good things. He spoke of the Ros 8 tin mine, the cot ton stalk fiber machine, recently invented j n this county, the mone- zite industry and the all round min eral rescources peculiar to Cherolsee. He urged the farmers not to have others to think for them, but to think and act for themselves. He spoke in glowing terms of the “Wil liamson plan,” and told how Mr. Wil liamson made seventy-five bushels of corn per acre, and his neighbor, under the same climatic conditions, etc., made only three. He urged the farmers not to nEnd mistakes, but to try again a nd that failure only paved the way to success. He referred to the organization of the Cotton Asso ciation when a panic was threatened and how this association took hold and brought order out of choes. He spoke in scathing terms of a farmer with hundreds of bales of cotton who, in spite of protests and urging not to sell, sold his cotton at 7 12 cents, and a few wee** late- saw it rise higher and higher above that marb. He referred to the class of im- migrantg being brought to this conn- try. and expressed himself as being opposed to this class that we now see, and told an anecdote illustrating their ignorance. He referred to the wonders of this progressive age, and dealt on modern inventions in sup port of his remarks; and closed by say ing most emphatically that If the farmers were so disposed they could get fifteen cents for their cotton. Mr. Hyatt’s remarks were received with vociferous applause. Mr. E. D. Smith was then intro duced, the chairman referring to him as the peerless orator of the entire South. His apperance was the signal for great and prolonged Fip- plause. This great speaker started his speech by telling how close he came to being a preacher, saying, he came within one. his father was a preacher therefore his mother was a preacher’s wife. He had only two brothers and they became preachers. He had only t.wo sisters and they be came the wives of preachers and a.s hj was the only one left, necessarily he came within one of being a preacher. He scored the fanners for developing their muscles and allow ing their (trains to be idle. In refer ring to his physical condition, he ex plained that for twenty-one consecu tive days he had been speaking, but that lie hoped and prayed that he would never be unable to speab when a crisis was at hand. Mr. Smith stated that there was one bank In the State of Colorado whose depos its aggregated more than did one- half of the banks of South Carolina combined. He also stated that a large pe r cent of that mpney belong ed to weakly farmers, that whole lands would bring from $150 to $300 while South Carolina farmers could get only from $5 to $50. And all this In the face of the fact ihat this western farmer must compete with the whole world on what he sells while the farmer of the South has no competi tion in nib cotton growing. He made an appeal for united ef fort and unanimous action and urged the importance of all standing to gether Just as faithfully as did the followers of the grey In the sixties and said that any man who is traitor now is Just as much a traitor to the South as he who refused to shoulder musket or take sabre in hand In those stirring times. The problem always facing the word Is “What, shall I eat and what shall 1 wear?” and the people of the South hold the only answer to the latter question In the hollow of their hand. In referring to Actions of the farmer as very foolish, he said if the fool killer should come South it would be far worse than S<slom and Gomorrah; that there was never such a propitious time to handle the situation flatelltgenlty if the farmers would organize and stick together; that it would be an easy matter to wring from Wiall Street some of the money it had stolen from us. No speaker In Cherokee county ever h*ld an audience under better control than did MY. Smith. From start to conclusion of his speech he held the people and swayed them as he willed. President Harvle Jordan was then introduced and he dealt principally with conditions across tho Atlantic. He told bow the English spinners are pooled together to buy cotton and store It until a short crop shall be gathered and they will then have warehouses packed to use. That they are compactly organized to keep the price of cotton down that the farmer must organize to put It up; that in Europe American cot ton is received in bad condition and the poor farmer has to pay foy this twice as he receives no pay for cot ton in bad condition when it leaves him and still is charged by the in surance companies for this that is damaged after it leaves him; that the farmers should wrap their cotton with cotton bagging instead of jute as we grow cotton at home and jute comes from far off India. He corrected a mistaken idea that the farmers get any pay for the bagging and ties on a bale of cotton, and assured them that instead of gaining they lose If the bagging and ties don’t weigh thirty pounds, as this weight is deducted for them; and if the weight Is not that much this much lint comes off in price and lint is worth more than bagging and ties so put on thirty I»ounds in bagging and ties. Mr. Jordan held the close attention of his hearers throughout. RAVENNA READING. Newsy Note* and Personals of a Thriving Community. Ravenna. July 31.—Mfs. George E.

In one of the great bat tles he was severely wounded In the arm, which was amputated, and after returning home he htid to make his living with but one arm. About thirty years ago Mr. Hammett was happily married to Miss Eliza beth Brown, eldest daughter of Mr. G. B. Brown, a Confederate soldier, also. After marriage he farmed for a number of years, but situated as he was, with only one arm, he con cluded to go to the mill at Pacolet, where he worked up to within a few weeks of his death, although for a good part of the time, especially during his last year, he was compar atively an invalid. He was a con scientious Christian gentleman, kind and considerate to everybody, and died lamented by a host of friends. His father and mother had already crossed over the river many years before, and he has gone to m»*ot them in the mansions above.

We, the Sabbath school at State Line Baptist church, adopt thlt medium of expressing our respect, esteem and love, for one of opr num ber, Brother Stewart Camp, whod^ parted this life on the ninth Inst. The subject of this sketch was the son of Mr. and Mrs. j. j. Camp, of Rutherfordton county, N. C. He was bom August 21, 1890, baptized bj Rev. C. M. Teal August 24th, 1902, and died July the 9th, 1907. It Is in deed with sorrow we chronicle the death of this worthy youth. His illness was of a very painful nature, yet he bore his sufferings with a degree of patience rarely paralleled; all human skill being baf fled, death claimed him as his victim, and the vacant chair and lonely home n «w tell the sad story. He was a devoted son, an affectionate brother, and a kind friend, and waft respected and esteemed by all who knew him, being loyal and punctual to all the rules and requirements of his church, and faithful In bis home duties. While we know he will meet with us here in the Sabbath school no more; no more will he Join us in sweet songs of praise to God, yet we feel sure he i B now joining in the music of heaven, and dwelling in the presence of the Saviour whom he loved and served. To his bereaved widowed mother, little sister and brothers, we extend our heartfelt sympathies in this sore trial. May Jesus bind up their broken hearts with His tender love and fill them with that peace which the world can never give, and ma" they grow strong in His grace day by day. May we, the members of this school, endeavor to follow the sample or our friend and brother, and strive to be more faithful ip all our work for the Mas ter, that when the call comes for us, Ilk© him, we may be prepared to en ter into the rest that remains for the people of God. “There is a world above, Where parting is unknown; A long eternity of love. Formed for the good alone, And faith beholds the dying here Translated to that glorious sphere.” “This star by star declines, Till all are passed away; As morning bright and brighter shines, To pure and perfect day, Nor sink those stars in empty night But hide themselves i n heaven’s own light.” State Line S. 8, A Tribute of Respect, Editor Ledger.—God has taken home to Himself our beloved sister, Mrs. Dolyh White.
