I It Is not e-enerallv known . to tha farmers of 'the South, he said, that they are losing millions upon millions or daliars annually! because of . the manner In which they are marketing the cotton crop. He charged that the railroads of the land are charging three to five times u uwiusi ui w tauuers, the evils being in the present meth- more Intelligence in handling cot- ton if they wish to make effective any reiorm.

The average farmer In the South, where the growers have no need of an exchange is opposed to the exchange, an dhe. declared that the aree on the prlce Qf the staple, a it is the business ororfe to get it as Cheaply as possible, atfd of the other to get as large a price for It as pos- supplied them with necessaries, were obliged to dispose of one cotton; and the third reason was the severe money stringency in this country and In Europe. Advancement In the brlce of cotton. he declared, can onl be enhanced" through system. A system can be de vised by which the crop can be financ ed before it leaves the hands of the farmers. The supply cn be managed so as to satisfy the demands of the mills, and thereby bring about a sta ble price. First there must be a sys- 4aw 4 ut a aV Alia Aa V A4r t a avatam finance the stored cotton, so that the weak cotton will not break the mar- ket. It is not the buyejr who offers a low Drice that breaks the market, but In the market, he declared. Is the man who sells a bale of cotton for a low price. He said this was the only true and store solution of the problem in the South. . - The attention of the otton growers was called to the bearish literature sent out every year saying there would be a surplus of raw cotton... He held that there would not bis any surplus cotton, and telling cjf the many spindles, said the world's de mand for cotton j is limlteo only by the world's spindles, and the demand for cotton : is constant!y on the Increase. He believed that cot ton was worth fifteen cents per pound, and held that. If Jthe crop were properly marketed. 4 the price would be fifteen cents. Cotton Is; the most valuable monetary product? on , the face of the globe, said! Mr. Jordan. and the cotton growers are getting less for their labor thin any other class of people In America, it He said' cotton had entered thl domain of wool, nax ana linen and had driven them from competition.!

In speaking of the work of the association, Mr. Moore said in part: - . . . - !" "I find the masses of people, are in ravor or tne warenouse plan -ana I am convinced that a. local company can be organized at every; cotton market. If a few - live ; men at : each place will become Interested and push the subscription list. J That I am. right about this is proven by the success of the movement at Scotland Neck, Red Springs,. FairmoDt, Mooresvllle. Concord and other places. "Our work in the Interest of. fair prices for cotton has had a broad in nuence; rarmers ana business; men are thinking more about the commer cial value of cotton, than ever -before, our plea for gradual marketing; Is be ing heeded, and ; thousands of farm ers are storing away cotton or hold ing at home, where formerly they sold direct from the gin. ":. - "Our campaign for more feed and food crops In the spring of 1906 and again In. 1907. was a timely move and North Carolina has as a result of this part of our work, more corn, wheat. oats, hay, truck, cattle and hogs, than at any time In the history of farming in the state, and because of our per sistent circulation of literature shear ing on this Important matter, the farmers of the State are better off. owe less money and are more Inde pendent than at any time since the Civil War. . . ; "If the farmers and business men were as loyal to cotton as are the editors of North Carolina newspapers and of other Southern papers,, cot ton would today be selling, at Tfifteen cents per pound. The great trouble with the Southern people is. they do not read the papers and really do not know what cotton is worth commer cially, i That we have made rreat nroeress In the work of the cotton association Is admitted by nearly every man.-That we can not- raise funds to prosecute the work as it needs Is. a mystery to me, when the 'movement Is so gener ally endorsed by all classes of men. "Had we the small income - of ten cents per bale, on the cotton pro duced annually in this State, our as sociation woulq be a power In up building a prosperous State. ;s "it is possible to ao a very great work through the cotton association. The question , is, do the progressive meji of the cotton counties want the work done? If so, they should keep their local organization alive and ac tive, collect the revenue necessary to finance the State office, and at every State meeting, have their county rep resented by intelligent delegates. "There are a great; many men In North Carolina who would make the cotton association a success, were they made president of our State di vision. I have served as best I. knew how, have devoted nearly-two years, giving my entire time to the duties. I feel that .1 should be . relieved. I therefore ask you to call the atten tion of all interested parties, to the selection at our January meeting, of a more suitaoie man. ror -the position. "I shall devote the remaining two ana a naii montns,.to pushlne the work of the association and -especially me warenouse pian. in counties where I have , not up to this time . had od- iiuriuiiu w x usk tne neiD, Of rn.il inuurnuai men . m me Work, - UUJ .rcf l v ' ex ""ve committee have faithfully discharged ! the duties piacea upon tnem, and like the mem bers of the National committee, they nave pam tneir own travel jtnd total expense to every meeting. This, is a sname and a disgrace to 'tfce' cotton producers and business: men of the State." - At the conclusion Vof Mr. .'Moore's remarks . short speeches were ; made by J. J.
