C., AJP11111L 19, 1492-2 TI I N COTTON CONTHACT The Advertiser considers the boll wevi il n ,e as t(e bi"g'est problem confronting tlie iarmers of ilhe South today. but next to it and of imediate I inmport ance it places the problem of Iiarketing of cot ton after it is grown. ieretofore the <Ii estion of market ing cotoll has been very simple. It (onsisted largely in carrying the cot ton to town when notes became due and letting it go at %wh.t it would bing. It has been a very simple but ;st ly system. The n plain calls for a coope rat ive (ffor t of all cotton growers to pool :hemselves together and attempt to ilace a valuation upon their labor and investment. The cotton growers of the South, without the protection w(hich manufac turers have had through the tariff and industrial labor has had through its unions. have heretofore worked at a grat disadvantage. Thy have had to sll their product at whatever price they could get aIdl pay for their needs at Prices enhanced by tariffs and labor organizations. The only way for the farmers to ov ercomte the l one-sided deal that they have been receiving is to organize on a sound financial basis as laid out by the cotton marketing association and at least try to have a-say-so as to what their labor is worth. Laurens county is now being can vassed in the interest of this associa tion. Bankers, merchants, manufac tunrer and large farmers have en dolsed ile plani. The plan cannot go through w lt lioit the farmers t hem g,7lyCs puting their namis to the coin tracts. v' tak the liberty of t rging the farma ers "o awake from their lethargy and give the marketing association heir serious consideration.

To the Women of Laurens County: Please allow mne to call your atten tion to the fact that the various Dem ocratic clubs are to meet on the fourtli Saturday of this month for re-organ Ization and to elect delegates to th counIty conventions, which nvill bi held oil the following Monday, Ma: lst., Since the average voter comes in to direct contact with the managenen of her party only at the club meet ings, it is urged that every womat who has attained her majority, or wit will "becomle tiwenty-one years of ag( befrev tlie general election in Novem her. atete1d the meeting which will b held In heir precinct oil April 22nd. Cf course, it Is taken for grant( that each clib in electing delegate to the county convention will pi rovi(iE for a failr representation of women but, -ince time immemorial, it has been the cuistoi to select mIen only this provision may be overlooked in. less women are present as a reminder that they, also, are citizens. Then, too, the delegationi choseni by th Coiuntv Convention should be composed of both men and women; and a rvonian as well at a man, should be selected to represent tile county on the state deloeratic executive Committee. The Dmcnocratic party now requtires that the national executive committee shall comrise two members, a man and it vollan. for each state, Mrs. .u1lian it Salley, of Aiken, being our represen tative. In1 conclusion, let me say that the nineteenti amendment gives Ile vote alike to the wolian who twaited it aldh to the womanl who thought she did not Want it. Neither has tle right to neg.lect it. It 1nw becomes just as much the duty Of every woman in South Carolina to use her ballot for the !iui4ic twelfare as it has for gen erationf been tihe dity of oiir men1 to employ the franchise for the best in terests of the state. Shall we prove less nidful and wortly of the t rust than they? Annie Gaines Williams. tMrs. Richard) Chairman South Carolina League of Women Voters.
