Moore oi the North Carolina Division of the Southern C t ton Association addressed the Hali'i.x county branch of the Association at Halifax Friday, March 9th. County president W. C. Whitak'r introduced Mr. Moore in a pleas! rg manner and Mr. Moore responded in a most timely and helpful adlreis lis said in part : "I thank? the farmers of Hli!ax county for their kind receptioa d assure them that it is a pleasure to be Tdth them. "The South has for a long time neg lected her Interests, which is largely the cotton crop. Were it not f r the cotton crop in the South our i r )rc6. would be at an end. Were it not for the cotton crop of the South iaste.id tf our great progress we would ba a debt or nation. "The farmer has drawn the attention of the business world to the cotton crop through the Southern Cotton As sociation, and but for the Southern Cotton Association we would be at the mercy ot speculators still. In their contention for their rights the press is .with the farmers to a unit. The preachers, the doctors, the bankers and D'erchants are all for the farmers ; and U they do not stand together with suob a backing they will be recreant to their duty. "Township clubi i.re the medium tLrough which this work is ta be ac complished." Mr. Moore urged the organization o! township clubs with social features lu w'iich the ladies may become iuterest eJ. He s iid there sliould bo statistical committees in the townships to res pond to the calls miida from Atlanta. "Wall street," tud Mr. Moore, "be gins to bet on our cotton crop tha firsl of July ?nd reports ought to bo made ont when called for showing the con dition of the cotton crop." Here Mr. Moore traced iu detail the organization .tnd history of the South ern Cotton Association, and the cause that led up to its organization. He toid of the time when he carried five b iles of cotton to market and sold them for $98, and could not carryback home a primer to his little daughter who a iked him to do so when ho started to to TO, He told joculary an-J yet with effect shout the time when, as his wife turn ed her back to him, he could read on hr dress "Family Flour." He said farmers do not need to save up old e:.aks now for they are getting better prices. Mr. Moore produced a pair of new p!ow lines, and said he knew they look ed familiar to his fellow farmers. He SKtd he bought them in LaGrange and paid 23 cents a pound for them. Said he, "You farmers sold the cotton for 10 cents a pound, now where is the orhei 15 cents?" He produced a bolt of common sheeting and said that the fprmer so'd the cotton that made it for $50 a bala, but when it was msde into the sheeting it brought $134. "Where," asked Mr. Moor?, "is the c! her $81 ?" The spsakar showed how the manufactuier buys a butd'e of lead penci's and figures cut a fortune, wile the farmer rises before day, goes to his barn, stumbles into a harrow, a fcos and a rake which ought to be un der the shelter, then feeds his mule and can't tell for the lile of him what it costs to fe5d his mule, what his plow gsar costs nor how Jong it lasts. Mr. Moore made these observations to em phasize the fact that the ordinary farm er keeps no strict account of his busi ness like the manufacturers. With telling effect the speaker exclaimed, "For fourteen years the farmers have been producing cotton at a cost of 3 cunts a pound and have been selling it on average of 7f cents. What coun try In the world can stand it? If it wasn't for your wife, her chickens and e-;gs, you'd go under, old man !" Mr. Moore referred to the hard times before the organization of the Southern Cotton Association and said that the organization has put a $20 premium on every bale of cotton. Here tha speaker said that just as he started frcm home his wife called him back from the gate, and in parenthesis said he never could see why a man's wife cru't tell him all before he starts, rather than ca'l bim back. He said h' wife told him she wished him to put,on some dignity as he goes over the State, and called him back to hand b'm a piece tied up with a string (It was well tied). When Mr. Moore uiirolled the wrapping around the piece of "dignity" and exhibited it, it pi ved to be a shining $20 gold coin ; and he said that that much dignity hu.ii been added to eyery bale of cotton by the work of the Southern Cotton Association. air. Moore ciosea Dy urging thorough organization, reduction of acreage and no selling of cotton until the crop is produced. ' It was an able and instructive ad dress and the farmers and others who heard it were greatly pleased. The cause ot the Southern Cotton Associa tlon was greatly helped by Mr. Moore's T1SK. WISDOM FOR FARMERS. The following card from tfew York show3 that there is good thought in that great metropolis for the farmers of the South : "REDUCE YOUR ACREAGE, GET 15c. FOR COTTON AND GET YOUR RIGHTS. INCREASE YOUR ACREAGE, GET fa. AND MAKE THE SPINMEil RICH; HE GETS WHAT YOU LOSE. PLANT FOOD CROPS AND GET FULL PRI-J 3 FOR COTTON." SOUTHERN COTTON TION.
