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. Some “Buy-a-Baie” Buyers.
