The committee on minimum price
of the Sea Island Cotton AsHooiation
reported late jeHterday afternoon re
commending the following prices:
Fancy East Florida 24c
Fancy Georgias and Floridas ...22c
1 Georgias and Floridas ..
**' 2 Georgias and Floridas 30c
3 Georgias and Floridas 18c
The report was unanimously adopt
ed and the delegates present pledged
thetnselves to hold their unsold cot
ton for these prices.
The first report made no reference
to the minimum price of East Florida
cotton, but the price of that was rais
ed by the convention ns an amend
ment to the committees report.
Valdosta was mode the headquar
ters of the association and resolutions
were adopted making every delegate
present a committee of one to see
that his county is fully organized.
This resolution met with an enthusing
tic vote and all of the delegates prom
ised to get together and see that the
entire sea Island belt is organized
Vs?- into a compact, harmonious associa*
i * tlon.
The report, of the resolution com
mittee was read by Col. W. S. West,
the -hnirman of that committee. The
first resolution was one calling upon
the department, of agriculture for full
er reports on sea Island cotton and re-
40- ports sepmate from 4 ?those on upland
* cotton.
’ The second resolution was In regard
io the refusal of the growers of sea
Island cotton on the islands of South
Carolina to sell their seed to the grow
fai-V ere of Georgia and Florida. This res-
r olutlon expressed the belief that that
action eras done to prevent the ex
portation of The need to other coun
tries and not to prevent their being
■old to grower* in the neighboring
States The resolution Instructed the
president of the association to try nnd
ascertain why this action was taken
on th#> part of the Carolina islnn!
growers in order that the Georgia and
Florida growers may know how t<
act in the matter.
’ The next resolution expressed th
desire of the association to help it:
members by aiding thorn in securing
fresh seed so that their staple
be improved. The members were urg
ed to work to that «md.
The name of the association was
made "The 8oa Island Cotton Asso
ciation.”
The hale tax brought on consider
able discussion. The flrat motion
was to make It 25 cents a bale, but n
jT*'a aubstltute of 10 cents was offered and
^4' another substitute of 5 cents The
iN-V bote tax was fixed at 10 cents n bale
each tuemlmr to pay to the associa
tion tht amount for each bale of cot
ton he makes, and not what he has
unsold. If he has Raised ten bales
of sen islahd cotton this year and
has sold nine of them, or even all of
them, he Is oxpectcd to pay on each
balq.
Yhe matter of salaries for the offi
cers of the nHsoctatlon next came
up, nnd n special committee was ap
pointed to fix that. The committee
recommended that the expenses of
the president nnd vice president be
paid when they wore on business for
the association; that the secretary be
paid $2 per day and expenses when
he wnR actively engaged In work and
that the expenses of the members of
the executive committee be also paid
when they were at work for the as
sociation.
Meetings will be held In each mili
tia district on the first Saturday In De
cember nnd district organizations ef
fected. On the second Saturday In
December county organizations will
be formed.
fho matter of employing an organ
izer in Georgia and Florida was dis
cussed hut nothing definite was done.
President .Iordan stated that later on
he would send an organizer from South
Carolina into the *oa Island belt to
help In the work. It Is probable that
Mr. W. VT. Webb, of Hahtra. will be
tendered a place aa one of the organ*
izers In this state.
The question as to the adoption of
an official organ came up, but there
aeemed to be general opposition to
naming any paper aa the organ of the
... Association. It was stated that all
* * of the papers had been friendly to the
movement and that to designate one
f of them aa an organ might not be rel
ished by others.
THE ATLAS COPPER WORKS.
A Big New Enterprise to Begin Bus

ly completed.
Mr. C. P. Thornton, secretary and
treasurer of the concern, and Fred

volume of money spent here every

A REGULAR CIRCU8
Trying to Give a Little Girl Cod Liver
Oil.
An interest ng incident was told in A
E. Dim mock’s drug store the other
evening. * «
A men came in and bought a bottle of
Vinol nnd; while waiting for change en
gaged the clerk in conversation.
Said he: “We were told to give our
little girl co 1 liver oil I bought a b t-
tie and took it home. We hnd a regular
'•irons trying to get the child to take it.
Then it did not agree with her a* all,
the oil upset her s omaoh. She did not
g t any better, ho I told the doctor how
we had failed, and lie at once recom
mended vour Vinol, saying that it con
tained all of the curative, healing and
•drengthening proix-rfies of cod liver oil
without a drop of oil, and that children
all love its taste.
“I took home a bottle and we begAn
to give it to onr chi d right aw^v, Slje
said it was delicious ard wanted more.
Almost fro'i. the first dose we noticed a
change, and s‘ e has gained flesh l
strength and appetite and sleeps well
every night.
“I don’t believe any one should give
a delicate child <• id-fashioned, nauseat
ing cod liv r oil or emulsions when
v inol is so delirious tftid it will do so
much mor good than any other tonic.
It is simply a wonderful medicine for
weak, puuv children, and I am recoin-
• eliding it to my friends.”
“We guarantee Vino, will make weak,
pnny children strong, robust and rosy,
strengthen and invigorate old people
and build up the run down, tired and
debilitated as nothing else can. If it
fails we willingly return everv dollar
paid for it.” A. E. Diimnock Drupg st.
