orous campaign, immediately follow
1. g the big New Orleans meeting, un
der the leadership of Major D. F. Mc-
Ciatchey, secretary of the senate and
former secretary of the Georgia food
administration.
"Just what la the American Cotton
Association?” ■is a Question that is
now heard all over the South, usually
accompanied by the statement, "I
Know in u general way, but am anx
ious to know all about It.”
The man who reads the newspapers
couldn't help knowing about the Amer
ican Cotton Association; and pretty
soon he will be so well posted that
be will be Informing others about It.
Producers Must Organize.
Preceded by the Cotton States Ad
vlsory Marketing Board which did
splendid work In upholding the price
of cotton. The American Cotton As
sociation to the outgrowth of a se
ries of meetings and conferences by
prominent farmers and business meu
of the South, who have given willingly
and unselfishly of their time and mon
ey to make It possible for the producer
to organize to protect himself—to moet
organization with organization.
Cotton buyers, cotton cob
tod manufacturers and distributors of
cotton goods, all are organized, and
through organization they have at
tained business success.
Likewise to organization the pro
ducers of the South must look for re
lief from Industrial slavery, for bet
ter living conditions, tor an educa
tion for their children Instead of work
In the field —all and more to come
through that medium which will In
sure them a fair profit on their raw
material above the cost of produc
tion. to which they are fairly and Just
ly entitled.
Has Done Qood Work Already.
The American Cotton Association,
as stated by President J. Skottowe
Wanuamaker. himself a prominent cot
ton planter of SL Mathews. S. C„ hue
already, through various agencies,
saved to the producer of cottou some
thing like $000,000,000. But this Is
just a beginning.
It Is proposed to insure an even
greater saving through this organi
sation of the producers, the bankers
and the business and profeselonnl men
of the South, every one of whom Is

directly interested In the success ot
the producer.
The American Cotton Association,
organized in every state, and with a
central office, proposes to bring com
mercial freedom to ail the South, and
to so change rural condition! that the
farm will both attract and hold the
white man.
It will have representatives in ev
ery cotton consuming country, to keep
the producer accurately posted eon
cernlng supply and demand. It will
furnish advance Information of the
world's cotton needs, so that plant
ing may be made to accord with them.
Through Its publicity department
and, as soon as possible, a weekly
newspaper free from politics, It will
keep both producer and consumer
fully Informed about cotton, its pro
duction, distribution, manufacture and
wil! post them thoroughly as to fair
prices both for raw materials and flu
lsbed products. It will omit no in
formation necessary to the proper
pricing of cotton and the extent to
which it should be planted.
It Is the purposo of the association
to bring about as soon as possible
the establishment of a Domestic Fi
nanclng Corporation to take care of
distress cotton, so that It will not
be thrown upon the market In large
lots, thereby causing price depression
slon.
Will Have Government Aid.
In this work It will have the sup
port and assistance of the Federal
Reserve system of the United States,
and the influential aid of practically
every financier in the South.
It will encourage the building of
advantageously owned and properly
regulated warehouses In tevery cotton
state, and the eetabllshment of a
warehouse certificate that will pass
as current as a government bond or
a gold note.
These are but a few of the big
plans of the American Cotton Asso
ciation as outlined by Presklent Wan
nnmaker and othor prominent leaders
In the movement. They will be fur
ther set out from time to time, and
the association will bring, as It has
already done In many cases, promi
neat men of all parts of the South
to Its assistance and support.
Every cotton producer, every bank
er, every merchant, every business
and professional man is sought and
desired as a member; and, through
the small dues collected, It is propos
ed to meet the expenses of the pro
ducers' own organization which, when
It speakß, Is going to be heard around
the world!
