The Men at the Helm. (By T. B. Young) The Personnel of the Board of Di rectors of the Tri-State Tobacco Grow ers* Cooperative Association are a: follows: Virginia: W. R. West, Axton; F O. McCo:rnick, Java; T. C. Watkins South Boston; X. H. Williams, Chas< City; Joseph M. Hurt, Blackhurg M. O. Wilson. Keysville; C. W. Wing field, Xnruna; W. S. Garrett, Bu!a. North Carolina: J. A. Brown, Chadbourn; George A. Norwood, Goldsboro J. Y. Joyner, La Grange; Johr Coward, Ayden; J. Vines Cobb, Pinetop; S. F. Austin, Nashville; S. T Peace, Henderson; E. G. Moss, Oxford; R. B. Whitley, Wendell; Southgate Jones, Durham; J. M. Galloway Greensboro; A, L. Bunker, Mt. 'Airy. South Carolina: T. B. Young Florence; Bright Williamson. Darlington. In addition to the above Dilectors ^ the three Directors representing the public and appointed by the governors of the three states are as follows: Oliver J. Sands, Richmond, Va., , .Col. Grimes, Secretary of State. Raleigh, N. C., Hon. E. C. Epps, Kingstree, Si C. Referring to the Board of Directors as a whole will state that I have heard a number of people state since learning the personnel of the Board of Directors of the Association that their entire confidence in the outcome cf the move has been established. I wish to make special reference to the personnel of the Executive ^ * * % m ^,11 Committee, wmcn is as iouows; President?Geo. A. Norwood, who is president of the First National Bank of Goldsboro, N. C., and a man highly esteemed by the entire business interests of the state. Vice-President?Bright Williamson of Darlington, S. C., who perhaps is as well known and carries as much confidence among the business people as any rran in South Carolina. Any one wanting to know how completely these twc men are held in esteem and high appreciation only have to go to their home towns to find out the high type of men that they are. In fact, we believe this to be said of every man on the Executive Committee. Jos. M. Hurt, of Blackstone, Va. Vice-president from that state, is widely known throughout the state as a successful business man and is the lest past president of the Bankers' Associati m of Virginia. Mr. M. 0. Wilson, Secty-Treasurer, fiom Keysville, Va., is a young and rising business man and is the one who has so successfully put over the campaign for sign up in his state, having signed up at least 80% of the tobacco of that state. J. M. Galloway, also a member of the Executive Committee is the larg \ est tobacco grower in the world, having signed up for 650,000 pounds. Mr. Galloway is a man of extremely pleasing personality and is a great asset to the Association as an experienced tobacco man. T. C. Watkins, Jr., of South Boston, Va., is also a member of the Executive Committee and besides having a large tobacco interest is in the Banking business in South Boston and has made a complete success as a business man. As an advisory member of the Executive Committee, Mr. Oliver J. Sands cf Richie nd, Va., who is president of the American National Bank of Richmond, I do not believe that there is a man in the South of higher business interest and integrity and no mar of any more personal attractiveness than Mr. Sands and a man of high Christian character. Also Dr. J. Y. Joyner is an advisory member of the Executive Committee Dr. Joyner is one of the best known men in the State of North Carolina and was for seventeen years superintendent of Public Instruction of that state, having resigned and retiree] from public life during his last administration, leaving an unexpired term. Dr. Joyner is a man who has the respect of his entire state anc perhaps no one in the state has more completely the confidence of his peo pie. There are just a few remarks set' ting forth briefly two or. three state ments about each one of the Executive Committee which is the Committe< which will conduct the principal par of the Association's business. In regard to the administrative of ficers which have been elected, Mr Oliver J. Sands, president of th< American National Bank of Richmond Va., has been elected as Eexcutivi Head of the Association and as ha rl ready been stated, Mr. Sands is i man of the highest type and the as sociation is very fortunate in havinj Mr. Sands to direct its business. Mr. M. O. Wilson ,of Raleigh, N C., has been elected as head cf th Field Service Department and Judgin: from the great success that he mad of this work in his own state durinj the campaign, we cannot but expec Mr. Wilson to be a great. success a $be head of the Field Service Worl for the entire organization. As director of warehouses for th association Mr. T. C. Watkins of Sout! Boston has been elected and ever / one who knows Mr. Watkins joins i in the conviction that he will make 11 a great success as the head of that! < department. Mr. Watkins has al- < ready visited South Carolina since i his election and went over matters here and every one is highly pleased ] at his attitude toward the work in i this state. He is an experienced bus' iness man and the association is very ] ; fortunate to have him in charge of < ' tin's work. 1 It has recently been announced in i the papers that Mr. Patterson, head 1 of the Leaf Department for North 1 ; Carolina, Virginia and South Caro- t i lina, for the American Tobacco Com- \ pany, has been elected as Director of . the Leaf Department, and Mr. Cheat- c ham of the Universal Tobacco Com- i pany has been elected as his assist- 1 , ant in the Bright Leaf and Mr. F. t . D. Williams of Richmond, Va., who ? , handles the sun-cured pool for the r state, has been elected assistant to r Mr. Patterson in charge of the Dark Belt Tobacco. With this strong per- t sonnel in charge of the association's c : affairs no one any longer has any j doubt as to the success cf the association. On Saturday, April 8th, a warehouse committee and proper officers of the association will meet in Florence, S. 9 C., at which time they will offer to luy any warehouse in South Carolina. Quite a great many houses will be tendered and sold to the association on that date. The asscciation has already been assured of enough houses j vitVi tn nnorstp its hnsinpss at every point and have a receiving point for the association's tobacco on every market in the state. I have been advised that the association j through its finance committee has al- r ready made sufficient connections and c has been assured sufficient finances j] not only to take care of the ware- n house deals, but to finance the entire r tobacco crop of the three states for j the coming season. With sufficient ( warehouses in the state to receive v tobacco, with sufficient money to meet p every need, with the very best ex- j; perienced tobacco men from the big i] - * # r\ companies in cfiarge 01 our L.eai ue- c partments, and with a financeer of t the type of Mr. Oliver J. Sands at c the head of our finances and in view b of the great success which Kentucky i has already had selling tobacco to a advantage through a cooperative mar- v keting association, and having sold fully *80% already of the state's en- _ tire pool, no one any longer doubts . that cooperative marketing of tobacco is a great success and that it is _ our only hope. I Let us consider that facing a large crop as every one admits we are and supposing that the companies should come in our open markets this summer and offer low prices like they did last summer and we have no organization with which to meet the situation, I ask what else could we expect but a disaster and a further demoralized pondition of our tobacco belt? Let every man who reads honestly consider this question. Yours for successful Cooperative Marketing 01 iooacco, in T. B. YOUNG, I Director. o LETTER FROM P. H. STOLL. Washington, April 5th, 1922. Mr. ( Roy Swindelle, Editor, The Timmonsville Enterprise, Timmonsville, S. G. , Dear Mr. Swindelle: % i In reply to your letter of the 3rd l instant, I beg to advise that I shall ; be a candidate in the primary thi3 ! summer to succeed myself. During the short time I have been in Congress I have given a great deal , of thought and attention to possible , ways and means of assisting the farm ers in making their business profit. able, and I want to return to Con; gress in order to push this work. [ On the 7th of March I made a . speech in the House on "Some Prob| lems of the Farmer" in which I dis; cussed certain remedial legislation I that should be enacted. I believe that ; Congress can by legislation help the . farmers very materially in the following particulars: First. Assist them in regulating . production, so as to keep \Vithin the > well-defined rules of supply and de; mand, by furnishing them through t Federal agencies accurate information as to the supply of every known farm - product at the time of planting and . the probable demand at the time of e harvest, with an estimate of the acre|, age necessary to produce a reasonable e supply; s Second. Assist the farmers in ree> ducing the cost of production by - Federal aid in irrigating arid areas ^ and draining moist lands, thereby making possible to a reasonable cerf. tainty the yield farmers may expect e on acreage planted and reduce to a g minimum the loss now incident to e too much or too little moisture, g Third. Continued assistance to the t states in building good roads, theres by aiding the farmer in getting to k the local market and shipping point his produce with the least possible e delay and at the smallest expense, h Fourth. Necessary legislation to y provide a system of irland water ways that will make available all I lavigable inland waters for purposes | transportation by means of light- | Jraft boats, and thereby reduce ^ fi eight tariffs. i| Fifth. Regulation of railroad J freight rates so as to guarantee fair|| rates to the shipper. i| Sixth. Necessary legislation toj| provide loans for financing farmers' 11 rooperative marketing associations, jl ;herel?y making it possible for the;B ndividual farmer to operate in har-ll nony with his fellow farmers in mar- p :eting his produce on a business basis j| hat will give him a fair profit on l? vhat his farm produces. m To this I may add that I am earn- S sstly supporting the scheme of mak- fj ng the government nitrate plants at j|j iluscle Shoals, Alabama, great fer-' jjj ilizer plants, so as to give the farm-|| ;r cheap fertilizers. This matter is' = low before the Military Affairs Com-.ff nittee of which I am a member. ; I shall make the race for reelec- g ion on my record and platform as J >utlined, and will submit same to the P ;eople with confidence. 1 Sincerely yours, B P.
