ORANGEBURG RALLIES TO AID OF
'TIE SOUTH; PATRIOTICCITIZENS
BUYAND HOLD DISTRESS COTTON
More Than Four Hundred Bought As Result of Whirlwind
Campaign Following Organization at Mass Meeting of
Orangeburg Buy-a-Bale Association---One Big Farmer
Agrees to Take All His Tenants’ Cotton at Ten Cents, Re
gardless of Market Price, and Will Handle Two Hundred
Bales in This Way.
WALTER E. DUNCAN,
Btaff Correspondent,
The Auguata Herald.
Orangeburg, S. C«—Banks, restau
rants, livery stables, drug stores, shoe
stores, mercantile establishments,
moving picture houses here are exhib
iting, many of them, their bales of
cotton bought on the "Buy-a-Bale”
plan, Russell Street, east and west,
the main business thoroughfare of a
thoroughly alive and wide-awake city,
Is not exactly lined with cotton, but
even a stranger from a strange land
who may never have heard of the
"huy-a-bale" movement would realize,
did ho walk down Russell Street, that
cotton bears a significance, touching
directly the lives of the people; that
behind buying cotton at 10 cents a
pound there is a meaning which all
Orangeburg seems to have grasped.
More than 400 bales of cotton
have been subscribed for. on a
basis of 10 cents, by the citizens
of Orangeburg, the result of a
whirlwind campaign which was
waged not many days ago; and
though all of this cotton has not
yet been bought, enough has been
taken off the market at the 10-
cent price to leave no doubt of
the Intention of the. people.
Orangeburg has joined In the pa
triotic movement with that ready
response which Is characteristic
of her people when any worthy
purpose Is to be served.
When the cotton market went to Its
lowest ebb, it was realized in Orange
burg, which, because It is in the h*art
of a vast cotton-growing section, that
the staple cannot be produced for 7
or g cents; therefore, spmethlng must
he done. Something was done. Cot
ton buyers found that the farmers
were holding their cotton off a war
depressed market. Reluctant to sell,
some of them, however, faced the ne
cessity of securing some ready cash.
There was, as everywhere, a certain
amount of distress cotton that mußt
be turned into money.
Credit Due Mr. Crum.
When the “buy-a-bale” movement,
born In Georgia, began to grow and
was heard from here, yonder and
everywhere, Mr. F. Mason Crum, farm
demonstration agent and at the head
of the Orangeburg County division of
the Southern Cotton Congress, began
the agitation here. Mr. Crum found
little difficulty in interesting the peo
ple, and on Tuesday night, September
15th, a mass meeting of citizens was
held at the Orangeburg court house.
Presiding at that meeting, Mr. Crum
urged instant action. Organization of
the Orangeburg “Buy-a-Bale” Asso
ciation was then perfected, with Mr.
J. T. Liles as president and Mr. Henry
Sims as secretary.
Founded upon principles of patriot
ism, with no motives of speculation,
the association came into being, and
all who joined In the buy-a-bale
movement, paying 10 cents for cotton
and obligating themselves to hold
until the market price reached that
figure, might qualify for membership.
A committee of six was then appoint
ed to canvass the city, and those six
gentlemen, Messrs. M. O. Dantzler, \V.
L. Mosely, ,T. W. Smoak, W. W. Crum,
M. K. Jeffords, J. B. McMlchael with
Mr. J. T. Liles, began their splendid
work the next day.
Near-By Town* Urged to Help.
All the near-by towns in
Orangeburg County have been In
vited hy the Orangeburg Buy-a-
Bale Aesocatlon to join hands in
the movement, and responses have
been received from several places.
While the prime purpose of the
movement is to take cotton at 10
cents, the association urges those
who are not in position to pay
that price to buy as much as they
can at the market price and hold
it off the market.
There Is no doubt of the determina
tion of the farmers of this section to
hold their cotton. On September 19,
9 cents was offered in the open mar
ket here, and there were few sales
made. Last week only 150 bales were
marketed In Orangeburg. During the
corresponding week last year 1,800
bales were sold. Orangeburg County
produces between 75.000 and 80.000
bales a year, from 25,000 to 30,000
bales generally marketed here. There
are two warehouses, one of which,
the Standard, with a capacity of be
tween 6,000 and 6,000 bales, Is bonded.
The other has a capacity of about
2,000 bales.
Seeking Northern Co-operation.
As an outgrowth of tho "Buy
a-Bale" movement, after It was
first firmly rooted here, an effort
Is now being made by the mer
chants of Orangeburg to Interest
their northern, eastern and west
ern business connections In cot
ton, Hundreds of letters have
been sent out. asking that cot
ton be bought here In Orangeburg
at 10 cents and held for that price,
and some satisfactory and very
gratifying responses have already
been received, clthough there haa
yet bee., hardly time for the ac
complishment of the desired re
sults.
This Is distinctly a cotton-growing
country. Besides corn no gratn crops
have been produced, but a great deal
of hay haa been made. The farmers
now realise their mistake In not giv
ing more attention to hogs, and there
Is not the slightest doubt of the sen
timent at present to cut the acreage
next year and turn to raising home
products. Mr. Crum, the county farm
demonstration agent, has worked un
tiringly to Interest the farmers In di
versified farming, and his work has
been productive of some very gratify
ing results; but his has been a mon
ster task and the farmers have still
a long way to travel toward Independ
ence from cotton and emancipation
from the West.
Urged to Plant Oafk.
Right now Mr. Crum is urging the
farmers to plant seed oat a. which re
quire a minimum amount of fertiliser.
There are plenty of seed available.
Oats make splendid feed and supply
a large amount of vegetable matter
to plow tinder. Oats will help pave
the way. It Is realised, for more live
stock In the future, and that, all now
seem to agree, Is the goal to which
the southern farmer must work. Oats
should be planted in October.
Walking along the streets of
Orangeburg one sees hanging here
and there in front of a business
house a handfull of cotton, or
maybe the fleecy staple will be
given a prominent place tn a show
window. I asked the meaning of
it and was told that those places
exhibiting cotton In this manner
are offering a premium over and
above the market price when their
customers apply the cotton on
their accounts. Some of the mer
chants are paying 10 cents.
A liberal policy has been adopted
by the six banks of Orangeburg, the
Bank of Orangeburg, the Farmers &
Merchants Bank, the Peoples Bank,
the Planters Bank, the Edisto Savings
Bank, the Farmers Union Bank and
Trust Company, all of which are do
ing what they can to make It as easy
as possible for the farmers.
People Cheerful and Hopeful.
Business In Orangeburg has suffer
ed, as it has suffered throughout the
South, but only because of the lesser
volume. The business people are
hopeful, and If they are cautious in
view of the existing situation, there
Is lacking any disposition to push the
farmer as long as he sees it to hts
advantage to hold his cotton off an
unfavorable market. Everyone with
whom I talked, business people and
farmers alike, seem to be agreed on
the one point—that what the cotton
farmer Is now suffering, and what the
merchant Is consequently suffering,
will mark the beginning of a new
epoch in southern farming; that here
after the farmer will depend less upon
cotton and more upon home products;
that through the present affliction the
South will come Into Its own.
Low-price cotton and business de
pression haa awakened the more pro
gressive people of this section, Includ
ing of course, the farmers, to the nec
essity of holding this year the Orange
burg County Fair rather than form
ing a stumbling block In the way of
the agricultural show. The fair will
be held this year beginning November
10th, and will last for four days. More
attention will be given to livestock
than ever before and some splendid
exhibits stressing the value and im
portance of diversified farming will be
made. Mr. Jerry M. Hughes, the sec
retary of the fair association, is mak
ing extensive plans for the big agri
cultural and livestock show.
Pays Tenants 10 Cents.
Mr. T. B. Bryant, one of the most
progressive farmers of the Orange
burg section, has set a magnificent
extmple for other farmers who can
afford to follow it. Soon after the
market dropped and while It was
around 7 cents, Mr. Bryant notified
all his tenants that he would take all
their cotton on a 10-cent basis. Not
only will Mr. Bryant take enough cot
ton at 10 cents to cover the amount
of the rent due him, but will, regard
less ‘of the market price, relieve his
tenants of all their cotton at that
price. Mr. Bryant estimates now that
he_ will handle 200 bales in that way.
