Lott, President of the Trade Body, and People of Progressive Little Carolina City Will Respond Freely- —Fanmere of Ridge Section to Meet Also and the Two Meetings May Merge Into One. Bank Cashier Thinks Situation is at Its Worst Right Now and That Improved Conditions Are Just Beyond Turn in the Road-.-All Inter est* Working Together at Johnston For Common Good of All WALTER E. DUNCAN, Staff Correspondent, The Augusta Herald. Jonnaton, S. G—Mr. J. A. Lott, pres ident of the Joh net on Chamber of Commerce, hat. authorized The Au guata Herald to rail a meeting of the trade body, with which all the htjui qms interest a of Johnston arc affil iated. for 4:30 o'clock on Friday af ternoon of this week, at which time definite action will be taken toward the organization of “Buy a finis" club. At the same time the Chamber of Commerce will launch a campaign, the purpose of which shall be to di rect the energlea and the influence of the organization toword inducing the farmers throughout this section to be ginning next year to raise diversified crops—lets cotton and more home products, more grain, more live stock. On Friday afternoon also a meet * ing of the farmers of this section will he held at Johnatoti. This meeting, which has been called by a number of representative farmers and busi ness men. will lie simply a get -to gether meeting, a conference for the mutual welfare of all. It is rumored that the farmers will, at this meeting, which is called for 3 o'clock in the af ternoon, consider the adoption of a lcsolution requesting the merchants of Johnston to accept cotton as money, on accounts due, on a basis of 10 cents a pound One large business house has al ready definitely stated that it will do so. Tills enterprising concern is the firm of Derrick Brothers. H is understood that two other large concerns have tentatively agreed to fall in line if the majority of the business men act favorably on the proposition. Whether or not this plan is suc cessfully carried through one thing is certain. The farmers will land their endorsement to the “Buy a Bale" campaign, which, apparently lacks nothing now ex cept the shove It will get tumor row afternoon to start the ball rolling The plan is the same as that of the Aiken “Buy a Bale" Club—to pay 10 cents a pound for cotton grading middling, tin bales to average 600 pounds, and buy ing only one bale from any one farmer, to buy only from those small farmers who otherwise would have to throw their cot ton on the murket ami sacrifice It for anything they could » r et for It. The Field Is Rips.

Conditions at Johnston. Johnztnri 1h one of the llvont anrl most progroHiive iowhh in the ridge country of Mouth Carolina. There ih no better cotton market between Co lumbia and AiigiiMtH Johnston rner chantn do a hlg buainean. The «ur lounding country In hh fertile uh any Miction of tiie South. A long Huccen Hton of proMperoun yearn haw not only developed the country and made many of the farmern Independent, hut through the farmer*- for the town de pemlH upon IdH ha* lifted the town from the one-horae clhhh to a pro grewHlve, wide-awake ami busy little city. Am an indication of the bußineas done, tiie Bank of Jobniiton, of which Mr. IJ (J. JOidson 1h preuldent, has outfltandlng today Hornething like $450,000 in accounts, vnn*t of which, of courae, are loann to farmer*. But though the cotton market ban gone ti* piecea the hank In not exercised nor alarmed at the Mituution. Ah a matter of fact, loann have not been « ntirely auMpended.

The Bank of Wentern Carolina hna a branch hank here, which alao doe* a magnificent buHinenw All Determined to Hold. There in an abaolute luck «>f any dlHpoHitlou on the part of hank* and biiaineaa houaea to pro** anyone, and with cotton bringing only 1% rent a today but with buyers a-plenty to snap up all offered at that price th« farmer* need no encouragement in their determination to hold. They are holding and holding font. bean and lean cotton ia aucrificed hh each day goea by, 1 am told. I'erlmpa a him* died hales have been Hold here in all, tut throughout thla section cotton ripened early this year, and 10 bales ia but a drop in the bucket. From the Bank of Johnston to tin* Bank of Western Carolina, aero a a the street from which Ih located tho ware* house, la a distance of approximately 360 yards. Under normal condition* there would today have been a long string of wagons loaded with cotton; extending from hank to bank. Today Just 10 hales were gold in Johnston, although 12 gins in two ginneries jgere running at full blast and one of these ginned 46 bales today. Moat of the cotton that has been Hold here this season was marketed along toward the early drop In price when the farmer*, or at least Koine of them, were disposed to feel that the bottom had dropped out and that there was no salvation for them. It In to their credit that they are less discouraged, that they are 1)0 longer excited and that they all take a more hopeful view of things. Better Times Are Coming. The farmers have been thinking for themselves and peril apt* they have 1 een talking with their bankers. “I believe that we are rtght now seeing the worst of our troubles,** is the opinion expressed by Mr. S J Watson, cashier of the Bank of Johnston. “We need to have ton rage and to stand firm, that is nil. I have abundant faith in the future in the near future. 1 will say ”1 am reminded of a story which l read a few days ago *llow’ far can a dog go in the woods'.** one man asked of another, who replied u dog could o as far in the woods ns he liked 'You're wrong,’ said the first, •be cause after reaching a certain point he would be coming out of the woods on the other side.’ It’s not much of a story, but 1 think it fits very aptly.” 1 agreed with him A Favored Section. Mr liott* who knows whereof h espeuk*. D my authority for the statement that here tn the ridge country, almost as fertile as the Darden of Fden, where almost anything will grow, cotton can be produced even at the high price of the necessaries of life, at 7 cents n pound According to Mr. Lett. it Is not so much the low price of cotton that causes the pinch, but It Is the fact that the farmers have contracted debts made on a basis of 12 cents j cotton.

The farmers see now how mistaken tt hoe been not to have raised s omething to help feed i the world os well as to help ohdhe tt More grain will be pown in thla aec* tion next >#ar than ever before-- and 1 boa notion will be ia »ed than lit many THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. years. Tho war in Europe, through the financial depression it has caused in this country, has done that much for the South, for the new era in farming is dawning not only here but throughout the cotton belt. And in the Meantime. Meanwhile the holding movement l« on to force demand for tills year's crop and with demand a fair and rea sonable price. And the holding move ment 1h backed by the “Buy a Bale** movement, which is spreading likq wild fire. You see it here, you see it everywhere. Here in Johnston the people were ready to respond. All they needed was a word, the word. The sentiment was already alive. One man whom l met today was heartily in favor of the “Buy a Bale" plan even though he did not know it. When I asked him what, he thought of It, he replied in effect that It would amount to nothing, but that he saw no harm in it. Ten minutes later —after he had heard a coton buyer and a mer chant express themselves openly and heartily in favor of it and the plan had been explained—he was enthusi astic: enough to agree to aid in the movement to the extent of more than S2OO. The Johnston “Buy a Bale” Club will have the moral support and back ing of the representative business men men of high standing in the com munity, enjoyed by the following, many of whom have expressed their ineintion of attending tomorrow's meeting to insure the successful car rying out of its worthy purpose: Messrs.
