Meeting,

church, under the direction of
District Evangelist J. T. Barker,
still continue with large congre-
gations |attending. The special
service Sunday morning were
held at the School Auditorium,
as it was feared the church
would not hold the congregation,
As was expected an unusually
large audience attended and the
services were good. Tnere will
be a special service Sunday morn-
ing at the church, to which all
are invited.
In addition to the states actu-
ally organized and participating
officially in the formation of the
exchange, the meeting was at-
tended bv representatives of
nearly all cotton producing states
in the various states. It will as-

Each member association of
the exchange will have the right
to sell its own cotton without
putting it through the national
body, but all expenses of the ex-
change are to be borne by the
member associations on a basis
of all cotton produced by their
