The Enterprise gives the uews,
cotton association
COMMENDS JORDAN.
Pleased With His Work— Associa¬
tion Resolves to Stand Firm
In the Present Fi^ht.
Delegates from many of the
Georgia counties assembled in the
hall of the house ot representatives
at the cupitol Tuesday morning to
attend the session of the Georgia
Division of the Cotton Association.
One of the featuies of the meeting
was the address of Hon. Harvie
Jordan, president of the main as¬
sociation, who told of the great
success of the association and
pointed out how easy it was for the
farmers to get their own price for
their cotton.
President M. L. Johnson, of the
Georgia division, called the con¬
vention to order and in a brief
speech outlined the object of the
meeting, which was to discuss
plans for marketing this year’s
cotton crop and to arrange for con¬
certed action next year. At the
conclusion of his speech Hon.
Harvie Jordan was invited to ad¬
dress the convention and was loud¬
ly applauded as he walked up the
aisle to the speaker’s stand.
Mr. Jordan said he was glad to
greet such an audience; that he
was not her to discuss political
matters, but to take steps to pro¬
mote welfare of the South. Mr.
Jordan told of how the farmers
during the past six mouths had
made history, and had amazed the
world. The cotton buyers today,
he said, were waiting for the far¬
mer to determine how he would
dispose of the crop, and that the
farmers now had it in their power
to absolutely control, the price of
cotton. Mi. Jordan said the cot-,
ton buyers were bending their
knees to the cotton planters and
asking them not to charge too
much for the cotton crop this fall.
Mr. Jordan did not think any
price for the cotton this fall should
be fixed until the firmers were in
possession of all the facts, and
when these fact9 were ascertained,
then to be conservative. There
was no surplus of the crop, accord¬
ing to Mr. Jordan. The mills of
the country were consuming 270,
000 bales of cotton a week, and by
September 15th they would have
consumed 12,500,000 bales, show¬
ing clearly that there was no sur¬
plus. There never should be any
more cotton sold under 10 cents
in this country. The people who
created the wealth of this country
are going to have a voice in mark¬
eting their own crops.
Mr. Jordan said lie felt sure the
coming crop would be sold at a
profit. He assured the delegates
that encouraging reports were com¬
ing from everywhere, and that the
work of the association up to the
present time had been very success¬
ful. Mr. Jordan told of the inves¬
tigation of the department of agri¬
culture at Washington. He said
until the organization of the South¬
ern Cotton Association all charges
had been white-washed, but the
evidenc^ could not of be the turned cotton down, association
and the
charges were fully sustained.
At the conclusion of Mr. Jor¬
dan’s address, Hon. John Wad¬
dell, of Polk county, offered a res¬
olution in which he commended
the action of President Jordan in
firing E. C. Peters as vice presi¬
dent of the association, and at the
same time approving the course
pursued by President Jordan and
Secretary Cheatham.
Bt-fore the resolution was put to
the house, Congressman L F. Liv¬
ingston made a speech advocating
its passage. Numerous other res
olutions were introduced and re
terred to the resolution committee.
Each delegate submitted a sealed
report to the secretary containing
a statement ot the condition of the
cotton crop, which will be kept a
secret. The total number of bales
of cotton made in each county last
year and the probable number of
bales this year was aiso contained
in the report.
A resolution was introduced by
T. K. Massengale that all guano
bought by the farmers for 1906
should be enclosed in sacks made
of cotton goods, as well as bagging
in which cotton was packed and
baled.

Pnome Mission Notes.
ATLANTA CITY MISSION WORK.
Miss Rosa Lowe, bead resident
in the Settlement Home in Atlan
ta says the influence of their work
has grown rapidly. Many uew de¬
partments have been added. A new
feature for the summer months is
the play ground for children who
might otherwise be on the streets.
These children are under the sa
pervision9 of a Christian woman,
she 'directs them in legitimate
games and insists upon fairness in
all plays.
SAVE THE PENNIES.
Miss Lowe speaks of the extrav
agance and carelessness of the
poor; to overcome this habit she
has introduced the Penny Provi¬
dent Fund. In this way she teach¬
es and encourages the children to
saye their pennies. She tells us
of an instance in one home where
the parents from unavoidable cir¬
cumstances, were without funds to
buy some necessity of life and they
were relieved of this by the chil¬
dren being taught to save the pen¬
nies, had accumulated a sufficient
amount to tide over this need.
THE DAY NURSERY.
Many children are cared for
daily in the nursery while the
mothers are at work. They have
also arranged to serve hot lunches
for ten cents to the mothers who
would, if it were not for this have
to go home and eat a cold lunch
alone. This shows some of the
many different kinds of work that
are being done through the Home
Mission Society. They begin with
the babies and continue to look
after and care for the bodies,
minds and souls of human beings
along through life.
