Tuesday at 12 m. the meeting ; was called to order. A. C. Lyles was chosen temporary chairman and W. W. Col ton, secretary pro tern. Upon the call of the roll of delegates the chairman announced that the. next step to be taken was a permanent organization by the election of a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. A. C. ! Lyles was nominated and unanimously elected president, Capt. F. M. Farr, vice-president; W. W. Colton, secretary; J. G. Farr, treasurer. After the organization was per focted the president introduced Mr. j S. I). Smith as the speaker of the I day. His talk was plain, good , common sense, and he became elo! quent in his earnest advocacy of the I proposed step he most desired the farmers to take and about which he came principally to talk to them about, that is a reduction of cotton acreage and "fertilizers. He said without organization, cooperation , concert of action it was impossible to accomplish anything. He knew 1 and so did every farmer that here" ! tofore the farmers had not l>con or! ganized, the grange and the alliance j had failed'and it had been every i man for himself, and see what you ' have come to, but now he felt safe ; in saying that the farmers were or ganized and organizing. ^ lie pictured in glowing terms the [. future prosperity nncl independence r, of the farmers of the South, when [. the day would come, and it was . surely coming that the farmer could put a price on his cotton as did the c merchant on his goods. That the >- only way to do this was to make no 5- i more than there was a demand for, , whenever there is a surplus as there is now, it means low price cotton, and if tho farmers reduced tho 11 acreage this year and only a ten or ;r eleven million hales be made lv would insure them ten cents and ! upwards for their cotton, and if the farmers will hold what they now have on hand, they will get 10cents for it by 15th July 1005. ir 1 lie urged the signing of the ,e pledge to reduce the acreage 25 per | cent, less than was planted last year, lg and use 25 per cent, less fertilizer. He says that the farmers who only planted 3 acres to the mule last Q year must also reduce in the same ' proportion that is 25 per cent, be^ cause he will not be reducing any more in proportion than the farmer who planted 30 acres to the mule, M that the reduction must be made in ri this wav otherwise there will nrac I tlcally lx) but littlo reduction, and y again the country will face an over e production and 3 or 5 cent cotton, y He Bays that the old fei-ling that ,f the hankers, merchants and mill r. men were the enemies of the farmin ers, was erroneous altogether, and that the farm rs alone had been their own enemies. That the hanker, merchant, mill men, lawyers, doctors and preachers all realized J that a failure of the farmer was e i their failure, that the wealth and prosperity of the country could all lx: traced to the prosperity of the >r farmer. y Altogether Mr. Smith's talk was it forceful, convincing and converting. >f After the conclusion of his speech, >f printed copies of the pledge were r. placed upon the desk and all of the >c farmers present were asked to corne ) forward and sign the pledge. Thenwas also another role to which was ic asked the signatures of everylxxly, s- in every calling and avocation of 1- life, weieh was an endorsement of a this organization ana movement oil Jr the part of the farmers of the South. This meeting was largely attended by the farmers of the county and people of the city. Mr. Smith was frequently cheered and applauded when he made his happy truthful /0 hits. It often happens that the n- truth hurts, hut the farmers in this inslane* took what h? said of theii I blind following and errors into which they had fallen in the past in a good humor. lie said it had previously l)cen organized brain work against unorganized muscle work, and brain work had heretofore won, but the farmer of today is not the farmer of ten years ago. lie is learning to farm on more scientific principles by which lie gets l>etter results, with fewer hard licks, while it takes brawn and muscle it also takes brains, and farmers who fail to see and practice the plans adoptj ed by the Southern Farmers Association arc simply standing in their own light. Mr. Smith sometimes in his speech put it in even stronger language by calling those who failed to follow the plans, as traitors to themselves and their country. Mr. Smith is the president of the State Cotton Growers Association and is well versed in everything p rtaining to cotton, and is enthusiastic over the plans adopted by the New Orleans convention. Hon. H. C. Little was elected county inspector whose duty it is to appoint township inspectors and their duty will be to report all who refuse to sign the pledge to reduce acreage and fertilizer, and also all ' who sign the pledge and fail to comply with the pledge. The names of those who refuse to sign the . pledge and those who violate the pledge will he published in the local newspapers, so that an approximate of the real reduction in acreage can thereby be reached. All those present at Tuesday's meeting signed the pledge with a few exceptions?We sincerely hop 5 that this organization of the farmers will prove to he a p ermanent one and result in the benefits sought by it, and that cannot be said again that the farmers are not organized and won't stand together for their common good. Those not present Tuesday can sign pledge by calling on the secretary.

Union's Latest Enterprise. \ n The latest enterprise of Union is an up-to-date steam laundry. Something over two thousand dollars worth of laundry is being shipped from this town each year, and knowing this, and realizing that this is not in keeping with Union's progressive spirit, some of its enterprising business men decided to operate a laundry here. The machinery from the Ixjiler and engine to the finisher is new and capable of turning out the host of work. Mr. J. W. Martin, Supt., is an experiend man, and his assistant, Mr. Frank Williams, also has had years of experience in the business. With the l>est of machinery, experienced workmen, careful management it has, assures the work to be of the highest quality. It deserves not only a part, but all of the support of the town and the surrounding country. Its wheels will begin to whirl for business next Monday morning. All that is necessary is to phone; your soiled linen will be called for and will be returned to you clean and white. The officers of this corporation are; Capt. F. M. Farr, Pres; L. J. Ilames, V.
