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. Pres; It. M. Estes,
Treas. and Mgr; J. W. Martin,
Supt.
