The meeting was held ir. the interest of organization jof the local branch of the South C arolina Cotton Association, which in turn is a branch of the American Cotton Association. More than two-hundred icprescntative men of the county were present and showed much interest in the proceedings. At the conclusion of the meeting twenty new members were enrolled and application blanks wese asked for by many more. Mr. W. J. Tiller was made chairman of the mCctinj* and made a brief speech in which he outlined tinobject of the meeting and laid much stress upon the necessity of organization. .Mr. S. N. Evans who had charge of the organization department delivered a very interesting address in which he ur^ed upon his hearers the need of immediate organization to protect the cotton farmer from the various organizations other than the farmer who makes more money out of cotton than the man whn produces it. Mr. .1. W. Sheciy, of Lexington, was the next speaker and In- also urrfed the necessity of organization. I lis talk was of the heart to heart kind, Mr. Shoely heir.,* a fanner and cotton grower, lie classed the farmer as a poor business man; a speculator in guano, saying that the cotton raiser bought a quantity of fertilizer ' and took chances on laming enough cotton to pay for it. Some years Inwon and some he lost. "Hut not so with the speculator in cotton. He wins every year." Mr. Shoely explained the workings of the "Warehouse system and the licensed grader, showing that the far, nier with these two facilities can keep his cotton in the waiehouse and have the use of the money it is worth to carry him until it will bring , a price that will juti.'y a man in raisng it. He was on entertaining speak, er and illustrated some of his points with anmedotes llmi | rodueed much laughter. Hon. (J. K. Laney closed tin speaking with an earnest appeal to his fellow eotton farmers to organize, in plain words to join tin- association ' and thereby ecu re .ill tin- aOvantges of the warehouse and grader. Mr. 1 I.aiu-y pointed out the fact that many who were within hearing had sold ' their cotton last fall for 27 to 21) rents when today the same grade is , bringing over 10 cts. These men had |fto sell last fall in order t> meet obI ligations. Had a government ware nouMo been available tney would not have had to sell, but could have stor ( il their cotton, borrowed all the money they needed < n their warehouse receipts and held the cotton for better prices. Mr. haney closed with a reiterated appeal for members of the organisation. SWEET SIXTEEN FLOUR make, the brit bread with the least LARD. It is a Fancy Patent in 41 IMair.

I in that eitv advertised this little old town and ?ts hall team in every c <tii i<?n printed from Thursday to Sunday. And some of them are still at it. It all came ahout thmugh Mi. I'arnell Meehan paying a visit to (Charlotte in the interest <>f the Chesterliehl eluh. Mr. Meehan knew that there were some good players in Charlotte who were disengaged. lie went to engage some of them for the local club. lie got in t<iuch with some of the disengaged players ami talked business. to them. Word went around annum the players that a promoter was in town. They wanted to see him. lie saw them. Some of those who talked to Mr. Meehan may have been under contract to '.he Charlotte team or the South Atlantic' I.eagui. If so Mr. Meehan did not know it. Now the Charlotte ( !uh and the South Atlantic League have for some reason had mighty hard luck this season in keeping their players satislied. In faet both complain tin;' they have been all but put. out nf business h'* the players jumping the contracts and joining "outlaw" club:;. In fact at.the time of Mr. Median's appearance the magnates and the fans were suffering from incipient nervous prostration over the desertion of one of their star players, who had down to a more lucretive job on a Philadelphia team. So when it became known that a promoter was busy in their midst indignation ran birth. V iolcnc* was talked of but ipiie'.or heads prevailed and the legal dep*i''tm mt was consulted. It was discovered that (Charlotte has upon her statute hooks a law requiring persons fvoqj outside Mecklenburg County who d? sire to hire laborers within the b< an Is of said county to first | roc tire an agent's license at $dh() per each. As Mr. Mcehnn#hab river in his wildest moments c las-ad hose hall players as laborers In* i.aturnllj con si<lcre<| himself immun" to tiiis law. However, one of the city sleuths was set upon t)-.? tr.i.- . <?t" iliis person l"? ?>i.t t Ihesterheld *io<i ioentinp him at. the hall park placed him under arrest, eharped with having violated the law desi-rihed al?e<e.

I'.ond was 'ixed at somewhere between $100 and $ 1,000, both figures I av been used in the telegraphic dispatches sent out telling of the capture of the wily outlaw P. Meehan. Meantime Mr. Meehan c.ipaped his players and came noiVie. Tl e outcome of the trial, of course, remains to he seen. Now come the nnimuuecmenl that the Charlotte ("lull and the Si nth Atlantic Association wll sue tin* Cheserfield CIu'd for $2">,000 for damages sustained hy sendinp an eniisary intonp their players to disorganize . heir cluh.
