W. 1 Barrett, President or the National nmnlutlon--Marts ' Out Under With an attendance that manifests some depth to the interest taken, the North Carolina Division of the Farm- : ers' Co-Operative and Educational Union was organtsed In this ; city yesterday, the sessions being opened at IB o'clock tn the county cbart house, immediately after convening Mr. W. O. Crosby..1 county organiser, was called -upon to outline the pur poses of the meeting and to Intro duce Mr. E- R. Preston, who made the welcome-address im behalf of the city.' Among other things Mr.- Pres ton had this to say: ; . "We have said much here about our InustrlaTimporlance an3drmanu . f.iirinv Interests, but we have not forgotten and- cannot forget that .. , - .111 - (.,., 1,,, I fhifa aroiina i sun i'i, and will probacy remain so to the end of time- We .therefore, cannot afford . ,iA,,u afivthln lhat tends to the furtherance of the Industrial interests of the State." 1. DlC. ALEXANDER RESPONDS. The response to this address; was made In behalf of the convention by Dr.- H Q.. Alexander, of Providence, who stands at the head of the 4ounty M,iniAii Tr Alexander miaf a Tinging speech of short duration about the prospects of the State or ganisation and the great interest which U being taken In the 'Wjpve,-ment- He called attention to the fact k. ihit Charlotte: had teea enoeen as me piv i - convention here where the Declara tion Of Independence was first Wgn rd. The analogy he made from this reference was In the fact that the union was given birth for the purpose of freeing the farmers from the fet ter f Wsll Street ina tne eouon speculators of the country. PRESIDENT BARRETT SPEAKS. Dr. Alexander retired and gave the floor to President C. W. Barrett. of the national organliatton. who made happy refsrencea to the addresses preceding him. -It Is usiisl," si1 he. "for those who mede the address of welcome In behalf of any city to a gathering of this sort to lavish bou euets for about an hour and then sit down. I have foiand that this Is or dinsrily done for no other than selfish purposes, snd I am glad that this voung man did not attempt sny such style." continued the sjajkl referring to Mr." Preston. ' The Farmers' Union Is simply a business organisation which the farm ers realised was their greatest need at this time. They have been keen enough to perceive that there was trouble ahead for them unless they stuck closer together than In the pant, snd It was solely for the pur pose ,of promoting harmony snd unity among themselves that this organisa tion was started." ' A MAN OP MAGNETISM. President Barrett to a large aegree goes over ground that has been trod den tipon many times previously, but there seems aooui mm a pemunai mariilim that catches the attention m A .iia h avmnathlea Of his hearers. He was loudly applauded at a numberof references ne msae in his address yesterday, and to say that iknu nroaent rave him. strict atten- in la tn utter anere Diauiuuc. nn seems to 'know his position and his Information Is on the end of his tongue- He speaks wUh some amount of force and deals wltn the situation without reetrslnt In speech. He seems well fitted tostana at me nea ui this rgsnlMtlon with a membership of 2.000.009 throughout the cotton- growing area. NUMBER OF COUNTIES REPRE SENTED. The representation of the various counties In North Camilna was larger than had been expected. President Barrett declared that the prospects were as bright for n working uggre ration In North Carolina as hi any other State, where tho organization has been launched. Mecklenhurg sent a full quota of her farmers to the convention, and these appeared to be especially Interested In the efforts being made to put together a sub stantial set of men to msnage the affairs of this national organisation of North Carolina. The scarcity of the Jeaders of the local Cotton Orowers Association was noticed, which evidences the fact that the other kindred union his not yet been absorbed by this new organisation.
