K. Hopkinson Smith in the September
number of the ladies' Home
Journal in "fat us go hack" draws
a most charming, interesting and
yet startling, glowing pen picture
of the old time family fireside, in
its pure, sweet affection and training,
compared with the utter lack
of all the ties, mother and child
and home surroundings of the present
day, which makes home the
dearest place on earth. If every
mother and father of this fair land
of ours would read this article, they
would surely strive to go back and ,
forever aliandon the present mode (
of raising, educating, amusing and

PRESIDENT SMITH ON
PRESENT SITUATION.
Farmers Shoult Not Permit
Success to Lead
Them Into Indifference
?Price of Coming Crop
Mr E. D. Smith, the State president
of the Southern Cotton arsooiatlon,
says:
"I hope that the success of the
Southern Cotton association will not
make the farmers and business men 1
indifferent to the fact that now is the
time for us to take advantage of
what success we have had in order to
guarantee the continuance of the
good work," said he.
Thero are invitations in this office
for us to bo present at rally meetings
in nearly every county in the State,
I hope that every county will adopt
the plan adopted in Spartanburg
county which has worked so admlra
uiy intro. 1I1U iuiiuwiug is mc (imu .
The president has secured local <
spenkers, and has made appointments <
at every immediate point and In
very township, and then his county ;
and has made a complete canvass of
his entire county, holding these meet- I
ings and having the people addressed
by those "Mfhusiastlcaily in sympathy
with t association; then after
having covered the entire county,
has held a rally meeting at the coun ty <
seat, in which all those townships <
are invited to be present ; and in this ?'
way has gotten his county weU in 1
lino. ^
Again 1 wish to suggest that it is r
a good idea for the president of each <
county to select some bunk at the
county seat where dues and contri- j
buttons may be paid at any time; |
and that several members of the 1
county organization may be present. 1
1 find throughout the State that a '
great many persons are desirous of
cor.trihufing ami that a great many .
have not paid their dius, because .
they are s!mply confused as to whom
these moneys should be paid. By \
publishing in the county papers, i
some individual at the county or some i
hank to whom these moneys may be i
paid at any time, it would greatly re- 1
licve the situation.
A rrreot mnnv are imkinir mo the
question whether or rot it will be ^
wise /or them to contract now their ^
:otton for fall delivery at 10 to 10 1-4 (
jents. I would not advise any one j
;o hold cotton this season until the e
meeting of the executive committee 1
it Asheville on September Gth. I t
vi 11 say, however, that the conditions
ihroughout the country do not warrunt
any doubt as to the price being j
ess than the figures above mentioned, j
From Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, (
reports do not indicate anything like j
in average crop. Therefore, if, as
the world has insisted, we shall obey
the law of supply and demand, if a
14,000,000 bale crop is worth 10 1-4
cents per pound, a 0.50O.000 to 10,-']
000,000 bale crop should be worth
proportionately greater.
The following is a letter from a
leader in the movoment in Mississippi,
a man whose character guaran- j
tees confidence in whatever statement
ho may make. This is about a ,
sample of the letters that have come |

growers may read this and govern
themselves accordingly until the
executive committee meets in Asheville
and fixes tho minimum price:
I am still holding 1CH? bales of cotton
which I have not sold. The crop
of Mississippi is the worst spotted
that I have ever seen. I have traveled
over the ent:re State within the last
few weeks; in some sections I find
the crop .good, but in the valleys
where most of the crop is made, the
crop is very, very spotted; in some
sections disastrous. The delta of the
Mississippi last year made .">04.000
bales of cotton; this year I do not
think it possible to make over IIOO.000
bales. For tho entire State. I consider
1,1 <0,0)0 bales the extreme
limit. Orog conditions have improved
very materially within the
last three weeks generally; and in
some section they have deteriorated
The approximate yield I give you
above, I estimate on perfect conditions
from now on. I would be glad
to have your idea of the crop of your
Rt.nt.A fla npnrlv h? nnncihla
Most of the old crop has been sold ;
our farmers realizing from 9 cents for
the lowest to 10 1 f cents for middling.
I thought for some weeks
that the bear crowd would depress
the price of cotton below 10 cents,
but the people of Mississippi will not
sell one pound of cotton below 10
cents.
1 have been compelled to abandon '
the work of the organization ou acV
> >unt of the quarantine regulation?,
ind on yesterday cancelled *11 appointments.
This is a great disappointment
to me, as we had meetings
sailed for every county in the Stat^
luring the months of August and
September. The meetings we haro
t>een holding recently have been vej^
argely attended and there Is great
snthusiasm among our members.
Mississippi will do her full duty
tloDg the lines of organization and
will hold cotton to any point that the
sxeentive committeo may advise.
I hope that the proper officials in
the several counties will see to it that
dues and fees are collected at once
and promptly sent to this office, as
both State and centrnl organizations
nrr> in need of funds. Let everv
county do its utmost to provide
ample warehouse room at the earliest
date possible. Organization and
warehouses are the solution of the
problem of the permanent success of
the Southern Ootton association. I
am trying my best to reach every
county, and hope to be able to do so
during the months of August and
Sepmnber."

August 28.?As nothing has appeared
in Tiik Timks from this section
of the county for some time,
1 decided to give to your readers a
few items.
CroDS are from verv noorto fairlv
good. Most of the fodder on early
corn has been gathered, winch is
very sorry. Cotton is beginning to
open and the farmers will soon begin
to gather it. The cool nights
are very much against it, and unless
very favorable seasons from
now on the crops in this section
will be short.
Since the farmers got through
laying by their crops the young and
the old have been enjoying themselves
in a social way such as picnics,
etc. The first picnic was at
Mt. Zion church, next came one at
Bethlehem church and the third
one was at Flat Bock church last
Saturday. At all of these picnics
barbecued meats was served and
plenty of it and some to spare.
Kvcrything passed off quietly at
these gatherings. I have not heard
of any man being drunk or disturbing
these meetings. Let's have
more of them, (live the farmers
ten or twelve cents for their cotton
...... ...:n ? - i?? ?i ?
tiiiu (yuu uui ntu it illm runtented
people, but five or six cents
cotton will bring discouragement,
murmuring, grumbling, etc. We
love to see the doctors, lawyers,
bankers, merchants, preachers, all
with smiles on their faces, but we
don't see them unless the farmers
are prosperous, so let all tin; people
unite with the cotton association
and make it a grand success, for we
are all in the liont together, and I
hope this boat of prosperity will
continue to float as it has beau for
the past two years and ti&^y the
people of our dear old soutfhland
prosper as never l>efore.
