At the call of the bell at eleven o'clock t'ie farmers aud representa tive nien of the county began to assemble in the court house room. The meeting was called to order by President Broom, and the minutes ol the meeting of Feb. 11th were read and approved. A treasurer was then asked for aud on motion the president named a committee of one from each township to select same. The committee placed the name of J. J. Moody before the body, who was elected. Kach township was then called npon to report progress in collect iug the 25 cents annual fee, with the following result: Monroe town ship, 30.25: Buford 14.23; Lanea Creek, 13.75; Goose Creek, 7.25; Jackson fti.25; Marshville, fl.00; .New Salem, 91.00; Sandy Ridge and tance, no reports; total 9 3. .5. This amount was placed in Mr. Moody's hands. On motion it was required that all demands on the treasurer should be authorized in writing by the president. The secretary was requested to find average reduction of cotton acreage and guano indicated by the various reports collected, and while this work was in progress the Hon. K. B. Ued wine addressed the body He spoke of the farmers having the movement well in baud, urged co-operation, reductiou of acreage aud guano, aud of the fact that the movement had already put the price of cotton in the neighbor hood of 2 cents above what it would probably have been at this date. His speech was earnest, eucourug ing aud practical, aud would ap peal to any sensible man. 1 he secretary then made known that the people of Union count) had voluntarily agreed to reduce acreagea2S 1-9 per cent and guauo 35 4 a. New Salem later banded iu a report that would make the average reductiou of both acreage and guano some less. In regard to New Salem's collec tion Mr. Smith said that some money bad been collected but bad not yet been received. He stated that New Salem was going to do ber part and if wauted he would donate one bale of cottou to Is? made up into cloth samples to lte sent to any old place to develop a market for cotton goods. Mr. Biggers of Sandy Ridge brought iu a good report concern ing reduction of acreuge and guano. He said they got started lute, in fact, were just starting, but were going to fall right in liue and help labor against another false step of the South. At this juncture Mr. J. M. Fair- Icy asked permission to read a let ter from the Bear, Mr. Price. The text of Mr. Price's letter was to the effect that the farmers of the South should, by labor saving machinery, harder work, less pleasure, aud more economy, produce all the cot ton they could, but produce it cheaper. Reader, deliberate long and loud on that Mr. Fairley urged the farmers to hold on to all the cotton they could. He nrged them to not hurt their friends, however, and further sta ted that if any one was afraid of their cotton that he would buy it at 8 cents to be delivered the first of June next Mr. H. M. Nicholson was asked to speak aud made a few remarks urging the farmers to stick together and agitate the movemeut, for all notable nioveuieuts and resolutions of the world were brought on by-agitation. Cu motion the president was re quested to call a meeting in each school district to be held Saturday night before the first and third Suu days in each month to further or ganize, collect funds aud further the ambitions of the Southern Cot ton Association. There being no further business the body was adjourned to meet at the call of the president Mr. Editor, I was greatly en co urged by the goodly attendance and eutbusiasm displayed at our meeting. At the previous meetings the weather was very bad aud Sat urday being fit weather for travel' ling showed the temper of the people. Our best farmers were there ai d by their presence and voluutaiy sets showed that they were veiy much in interest This is the fiit time in the ludustrial history of the South that all classes and profes sions have fonnd it to their inter est to work for tbe common good. All fair minded people realize this. To illustrate, one of our collectors reported that only two men iu Mon roe to whom be bad gone bad re fused to donate 25 cents to the ex pense fund of tbe movement God help the man who doesn't expect to realize 25 cents from the results of this nioveniont for he ia beyond tbe help of man. Mr. Editor, this should appeal more to tbe selfish man than to any other, for we are fighting for onr homes, our varions possessions, and all that that implies, education for onr children, happiness for our wives and sweetheart, and pros perity for ourselves. Bo, good people of this South land the best people on earth lets join bands in this movement and march onward and upward nn til we reach the goal of honest prices for onr cotton as a fitting re ward for our labors.

The gentlemen live ia this couuty aud are well known in this section Mr. G. Ed. Flow, known to fame once as a theoretical farmer, then occupying a position on the Bute board of agriculture, but now a practical farmer who works, has confided to the reporter bis views on the two important questions now before the public. " l on may say," aaid he, "that I'm in favor of high cotton, and agin third termers." Marshville has a bucket factory and one of ita citizens ia reported to have expressed considerable anx iety over tbe customary talk of closing np the bucket shops. "What in the thunder do they want to close 'em up fort" be ia reported to have said, "for if they do, where will we get our well buckets fromf "Some more wheat was planted this season tbau last," said Mr. J. K Henderson of tbe Roller Mill. "The weather was very unfavora ble aud a good many farmers were prevented from planting even after they bad secured their seed. There used to be lota of wheat grown in this couuty. There was a big crop raised the year before I came down here. There's no doubt that it is one of the crops for this section." "Speaking of wheat" said Mr. N. A. Fuuderburk, oue of the good farmers of Buford towuship, "1 al ways make my bread supply, some times a good deal more. I never have much trouble in making wheat aud I find that I can make a hundred or so bushels without uisk ing any less corn and cotton, aud at much less relative cost." a A well-known citizen of the couuty was in Tbe Journal office Saturday, with others, when tbe question of corporal punishment in school came up. Oue man thouglit the rod was too much spared iu these times. But the first mention ed citizens didu't fully agree, "I am not so sure of the efficacy of the rod as they applied it in oldi times," said be, "for I have recollections on that score.

"" - 1 - THE DRUGGISTS TRUST ! 'p'HE Standard Oil Company in the State of Kansas is not in it as com pared with the druggists' trust of Union county, officially known as the "UNION RETAIL DRUGGISTS' ASSOCIATION." composed of Dr. S. J. Welsh, president; C. N. Simpson, Jr., secretary; Waxhaw Drug Co., Jackson Drug Co., Marshville Drug Co., and Franklin Street Pharmacy, E. T. Hasty, colored, proprietor. M. E. McCauley joined the Association but withdrew when it came to paying the seven dollars for the privileges and immunities of becoming a member of the TRUST. Their first act after organization was to advance prices from 10 per cent, to more tharflOO per cent, in some instances. Notice was served on the English Drug Company that they must adhere to the schedule of the TRUST or suffer the penalty of having supplies cut off. The English Drug Company declines to enter into such an arrangement. Reports have been sent out to manufacturers and wholesalers that the English Drug Company were very bad cutters of prices. The English Drug Company has made money in the drug business and feel that the good peo ple of the surrounding country who have helped to build this business to its present proportions will stand by them as loyally in the future as they have in the past. You know what you have been paying, and when the TRUST demands more, come and see us. As an evidence of the greed of the TRUST we refer to a few well-known articles in their price list which we nave before us : Calomel, which is usually sold at 10 to 15 cents per ounce, the TRUST demands 25 cents per ounce and in less quantity the rate of 40 cents per ounce. Tinct. opium (laudanum), the old stand-by in every household for the relief of suffering humanity, which has been sold since the time when the oldest of us can remember, at a profit at 10 cents per ounce 3 ounces for 25 cent? , the TRUST now has the nerve to say you must pay 15 cents per ounce, 30 cents for two ounces, 45 cents for three ounces, 60 cents for four ounces. 1.20 for eight ounces and 2.40 per pint Rubber goods, including atomizers, syringes and hot water bottles, the TRUST demands 100 per cent, over cost price. Simple division by 2 will (five you the cost of this class of goods. The English Drug Company is de ighted to sell this class of goods at one-half the price quoted by the TRUST.
