The Ginners' Association of Terrell

The meeting was held for the pur

would be protected.
The body, composed of 21 represent

stated the object of the meeting in a
short speectr, and the work of organi
zatlon was immediately entered into.

J. F. Cocke was unanimously elected
permanent chairman and Mr. Geo. H. |

{ Perhaps the most important measure
genact.ed hy the association after :its
{formalion was the agreement that the
' price of ginning should in the future
i be 30 cents per hundred pounds instead
of 20 cents as heretofore. This agree-
I ment was reached after careful delib
eration on the part of those present,
’ being not made on any trust principle,
| but simply as a rate which was believ
~d to be the lowest pessible margin by
which the ginner can make his estab
lishment sustaining, they say.
Figures shown by representatives at
‘the meeting indicated that the former
rate of twenty cents failed not only to
carry any profit with it, but after the
rununing expenses, insurance, wear and
tear and risk had been taken intu con
sideration really resulted in a final
loss to the operator. While the rate
agreed upon will be higher than that
of last year it is much lower than the
charges which prevailed some years
ago, it is said, and it is ‘believed that
the farmers of the county seeing
the reasonableness of the ginners’ po
sition will have no grounds for com
plaint of any excessive price for gin
ning.
The association elected delegates
to the state convention of ginners,
which meets in Atlanta tomorrow.
Parrott Citizen Refused That
Price for Terrell County
Farm Land.
A very strong evidence of the value
of Terrell county farm lands was the
refusal of Mr. E. W. Aven a few days
ago of $4O per acre for somé unimprov
ed land rear Parrott. Mr. Aven had
this offer, the payment to be made
cash, but declined the proposition
without any hesitancy, believing his
land to be worth more than that to
him,
It will be seen by thishow highly
good farming lands are valuea in
Terrell county. They are always
in demand, and are advancing in
price every year. The man who
owns a good farm in this county is in
possession of a treasure.
