SAVIN.O, Next door to Savings, Loan and Trust Company's. So Says President C. C Moore -TbeOood the Cotton Associa tion Has Done the Farmer Now the Farmer! Turn. How is the Cotton Association LP TO at you, Mr. Farmer, aud are iu J tended to make you THINK. Hob tut. now, wbat bave you done to raise the price of YOUR cotton? Did you reduce your acreagf?

The North Carolina div ision is in better shape aud is now doing more real good for the farmers and busi ness interests of the Southern States than ever. Wbat has the Association done? Well, just look about aud the fruits can be seeu all around, there la more thought giveu to cottou than was ever before. There has been a decrease of acres planted iu cotton aud an iucrease iu the pro duction at a less cost aud shows that a more iutelligeut farmiug is in practice. The price of cotton hasadvauced from the calamity price of six and a half cents to a basis of ten cents per pound aud the farmer who is in close touch with the Cotton As sociation will not sell for lets than teu ceuts. This can be seen iu all counties where the farmers have organized and atteud meetiugs of their couu ty divisions. Iu these counties the sale of cottou falls off at every de cline iu price. Ou the other baud, in counties where there are no monthly meetings aud no in telligent meu to advise the farm ers, no interest taken iu the Asso ciation, the cottou is marketed as fast as ginneed, no matter what the price may be. The saving from weather dam age is now tremendous as com pared with the manner of han dling cottou before the Associa tion was organized. For forty years the farmers have dumped the bales of cotton ou the ground and left them there for mouths to damage, aud olleu to rot. Now, there is a much more careful pro tect iou giveu the hales, indeed, it is a rare sight to see cottou tales lying on the grouud exposed to weather ou any farm. This is the result of the Cottou Association and this alone has added millious of dollars to the South. Hundreds of warehouses have been built, both on farms and at shippiug points, and these have giveu protection from lire that has probably saved much wealth iu the South. How is the Cotton Association moving out Well.it is still moving aud will continue to move and do greater good iu 1!H)7 than iu the past, but, Mr. Reader, turn about is fair play; let me ask what have lOL done to advance the price of cotton t What have you had to do in the fight that has beeu fought so haid and persistently by a few meu in your State, aided by a few meu from other States? Say, reader, have you stood apart and have so conscientiously made this fight for the protection of the entire South? Reader, you may be a woman or a man, I care not what your occu pation is, I just want to look at your couditiou to-day and seak out honestly and tell me if this great movemeut has uot benefitted you t Y es, the answer comes, the Association has helped every liv ing being iu the South. Well, then, why dou't you liue up aud help to make a grand success ol the organization.

I'. V. Mix 1Kb Executive Committe Outlines Plan For Farmers. To the Etltt.tr ol Thr it.urnal : The newly elected executive com mittee of the North Carolina division of the Southern Cotton Association, with President ('. C Moore, met at Maxton, N. C, January '.Hli, and out lined plans and discussed ways of working for the year l'J07. While the committee were much gratified at the great good that had been ac complished by the association, they were much perplexed as to the man ifest indifference on the part of the farmers as to the financial support of its officers. I low to reach the far mer and enlist his co operation and support received the most thoughtful consideration. It was decided to establish a bu reau of information, with President Moore in charge, w ith headquarters in Charlotte. This work President Moore, w ill take up immediately after his return from the Birmingham con vention. The work will consist o' eekly, semi-niouthlv, or monthly letters to the weeklv palters of the cotton counties of the State, and also of ersoiial letters. 1 he ollice of county lecturer was created, and it was recommended that each county elect such an olheer. It is the dutv of said ollicer to keep himself informed on all matters per taining to the purposes of the associ ation and communicate the same to the farmers through the, county paMrs, and also to orgauize sub- ivismns in his count v. liv tint) method every man who reads his local paper will be kept in touch with the association. The committee insist that the far mers plan for a bountiful supply of forage and grain crops, look to the improvement of their live sUick, be economical and shun debt and cn- leavor to get on a cash basis. They point out the impossibility of main taining good prices with a large sur plus iu the cottou crop. They also remind the farmers that the associa tion is without funds, and that if they would have it do ellicient work this year they must rally to its sup port. I.J. .
