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. Attend the
meeting here Friday and aflix your
1-ame t a contract.

A CALL TO THE WOMEN
TO REM I1-1'l1ERC ('ll'T 3IETIN(
Ureenwood, S. C.
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?
