Dire, tors far Their Warehouses Were Elected This Morning. rl l.'igi number of planters of thia couniy met in th-> court house this morning tor Hie purpose of electing a board of dir. ctors for the Farmers Warehouses. Prof J. O, A M ilh r was made ch sir mi ri of lie <n< ■ting an I tsil D < I less ncr and S B Sawlel! were requested to act as secretaries. After the chairman bad stated the object of the meeting, B N Barrow made a short but sensible address which was listened to attentively. Mr. Bar row stated that he had been I mixed up with the Farmets Cc-upera live warehouses ever since their organ iz ition about eleven years ago. He had but little to do with them for the past two or three years because be did not aporove of the methods upon i which they were run. When the warehouses were properly conducted they were a blessing to the fat-mere of Spalding and adjoining counties, be cause they obtained the highest mar | ket price for all cotton brought to this city. These warehouses, under one ! manager, weighed over 10,000 bales of \ cotton one season and virtually con trolled this market. Small warehouses could not keep up the prices, but if the right man was made manager of the warehouses and he received the I patronage of all the planters of Spald ing county he could force the buyers to pay the highest market price fur ' cotton, That was the object of the I Farmers warehouse. It bad served its purpose well at one time, and there was no reason why it should not do so again. H. T. Patterson moved that one man from each militia district of Spalding county be elected a member tbs board of director? who would formulate rules governing the ware house. The motion prevailed and a recess of five minutes was given for the delegates of each district to select a director. When the chair called the meeting to order the following gentlemen were selected as directors of the Farmers’ warehouse: Griffin District-J. W, Wolcott, Jno. I F. Dickinson, alternate. Africa district—ll. T. Patterson. Cabins district— C. W, Henderson. ; Akins district—W. E. Caldwell. Nit. Zion district—W. B. Crowder. Line Creek district—Starky Hand. Union district--A. O. Gay, C. M. Ham-; ' mond, alternate, Qrrs district—AV. E. 11. Searcy, Sr. The question as to whether directors I fiom adjoining counties should be | placed on the board or not, brought 'about lengthy discussions from a num- I ber, and as a compromise Pike and ! Butts counties were given a represen ' tation on the board Z T. Scott was ; elected from Pike and J. C. Bell will represent But is The directors prepared the following i report which Was read : Resolved, After discussing the mat ■ ter of having one or two warehouses, i we have decided that while one wares house might be adequate for the busi ness, we believe it to be to our interests to run two houses at this time under one management. We submit this matter to the meeting for its decision that all may have a voice in deter mining the question. Reso’ved, That tin directors will j meet at a later day t.i elect a manager and scalesmen, when all can be present if it is the desire of the meeting not to elect these officers itself today. The directors were given authority to run the warehouses in such a man ner as they think best, and to elect a manager and scalesman. H. T. Patterson, chairman, called the board to meet again next Saturday and name these officers A majority of the board from this county will constitute a quorum at meetings of the directors, and no proxies will be allowed a vote in elect ing manager and scalesmeu.
