' .4^ Farmers Meet With Chamber of Commerce. In response to rii invitation extended to tho farmers of Union Couuiy by the Chamber of Commerce, a large number of representative farmers assembled in the Court House last Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Thomas McNally, I president of the Chamber of Commerce, c-illed the meeting to order aud made address of welcome, stating object of meeting. He informed the audiei.ee that lie had been in cominui>i<ation with some parties in the ninth wis; wi li r?feifnce to immigrants, that iheie weie many families f thrift.v/exp-iieuced Germans in the nor-h west who d-siied to come o this State to farm, lhat they had the money to buy land, that he desired all persons living in Una (oun'y who had land to sell, to furnish him with a description of the land, its l< cation, nurabar of acres and price Dr II K. Smith was then introduced, as a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Smith read a paper fully setting forth the olject. ami aim of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, in foi initiating a plan with the cooperation of the cotton growers, by which they hoped to secure as good a price for cotton during tlie coming season, us that paid at any other market. Dr. Smith presented the mtttei in a veiy forceful manner, in substance the same we gave t > the public in last wecks's issue of The Times. He further stated that a committee of five had been appointed t"* communicate with shippers, with reference to getting a buyer. Mr. .1. M. nrecr spoke encouragingly of the move and fully endorsed the plan announced by Dr. Smith, suggested that the farmers have certain days i the week to bring their cotton ?o market. This suggestion did not meet with the fu'l approval of a'd the farmeis Capt Douglass was then called He said that he was here to say that lie and the farmers fully appreciated the effoits on the part of the Chamber of Commerce to insure to the formers the market price for their cotton. That he had a county pride; that lie was more than willing 10 bring his cotton to Union, but that the distauet- lie would have to haul it was of a 9-rinus consideration, that if he hauled his cotton here, a instance of 18 or 21 miles, and only get what lie could get at Wild mire, a distance of only 0 or 8 miles, he would lie forced to take it to Wliitmire, unless tlio Union market was enough above Whitmire to justify the hauling, that lie had no proposition to make in addition to the plans outlined by Dr. Smith. Mr. W. T Jaler, ot' Fish Dam township, said he thought the plans good if faithfully corxied out, and result in great benefit to the town and farmers of the county. Mr. D. B. Fant said he had no suggestions to make; he wanted all he could get for his cotton. ('apt. Douglass did not think, to have set days for the farmers to sell cotton, a feasible plan, the days might not suit all ihe farmers, that when the cotton was brought here the price might not be what the farmer was willing to take, then he would have no place to store his i cotton, unless Chamber of Commerce had a warehouse. Dr. Duke suggested that the farmers communicfte with the Chamber of Commerce as t6 the most suitable time and days to bring their cotton* this suggestion was in the nature of an amendment to Mr: Greer's. Mr. Jolmsau suggested that a number of farmers get together in eacli township and select delegates to meet with the Chamber of Commerce, to adopt some plan. Dr Smith then asked t.hi* nnoa?i~.. ???<?M ?JUV If, all things being equal, would the farmeis bring their cotton here? A hard primary was taken and resulted in a unanimous?Yes. (.'apt. Douglass again raised the q .estian as to distance; this was settled in "all things being equal," Mr. W. T. Jeter moved that each township elect delegates to meet with the (Jiainb. r of Commerce. It was then moved that a canvass of the assembly be made to see if there were representatives from each township present. Upon a call of ths townships by the chair it was ascertained that there were some from each township present. Mr. Jeter then asked the chairman to appoint one from each township to call a meeting in their respective townships next Saturday and elect delegates from each township to meet with the Chamber of Commerce next. Monday for the purpose of fully maturing a plan in accordance with th? views expressed here at this meeting. The following gentlemen were appointed: J. W. Gregory, Santuc; W. T. Jeter, Fish Dam; J. F. Betsill, Cross Keys; J. M. Whitehead, Bogansville; J. W. Scott, Jor.esville; H. S. Porter, Pinckney; G. C. Greer, Union. Further discussions were indulged in. Dr. Smith said that although the cotton mill men were members of the Chamber of Commerce, they would not or could not control this movement. Mr. It. W, Hamilton did not think it wise to ignore the cotton mill men in this movement, that his experience had been, he had secured more favors and better prices from the cotton mill men than from any other buyers. Mr. A. C. Lyles asked if there was a license required from cotton buyers at this place. Chairman informed him that there had been but the ordinance had been repealed. Mr. Wagnon s|>oke in behalf of the grocery men of the town, that he could guarantee if the farmers brought their cotton to this market, they could buy their goods as cheap here as any other market in the State, That the object of this move was to build up Union but not at the expense of other towns.

FANT (illJ Union would compile with any markPt as to quality and prices of goods. The meeting was a very harmonious one, and all seemed agreed that if the movement was faithfully carrier! out it would unquestionably resclt in a general benefit to all interested. The farmers seemed to be inspired with confidence, by the assurances on the part of the Chamber of Commere that this action was as much for their benefit as for the upbuilding of the city of Union. Next Monday's meeting will consumate the movement. Mon-Aetna. Last Sunday night, Mon-Aetna en joyed one of the most pleasant meetings known in its history. We had a very large congregation. One member was received by letter, and a collection started, to raise the thirty dollars assessed the church for missions. True most of the congregation left at this instant, but this church expects the amount to he raised by the deacons who have taken it in hand. The subject of Rev. Poston's sermon being "The Higher and Ultimate Salvation." Text, Phil. 2: 12-18. Proof text, 1 Peter 1: 5-12, Rom . 1<>: 8-11. One thought prominent was, we are a chain in saving souls. Shall we widen that chain by speaking a word and giving our money; or shall we break it, and lose the blessing God has in store for the soul winner? X. Y. The Dance Tuesday Night.
