CO OPERA
COMPANY.
I Describe the
el a He
the But of
Relief for the
of the Weed.
On the 13th day of October, 1908,
there in the
Warehouse in Greenville.
N C , eighteen or twenty
farmers who by mutual
agreement had come together for tin
purpose of organizing a
farmers co operative warehouse coin
having for its
the making of money for its
stockholders, but ultimately for the
purpose of bringing the tobacco
growers into a successful
business organization.
unsuccessful attempts had
to organize
tobacco farmers, and naturally
enough these gentlemen felt that
many obstacles would Lave to be
removed before a successful
station could be effected, therefore
in the beginning they moved with
caution and prudence. They
zed that in employing the long es-
warehouse business
business supported absolutely and
by the tobacco as a
means to bring about the
of the tobacco growers, th-y
were invading a field of hither to
disputed territory. They fully
that every step they took
would be stubbornly contested In
the and others whose
interest it always is to throw
ling blocks in the way of
movements, and that every effort
would be employed to defeat the of
therefore, it was of
utmost importance that their every
move should be carefully studied
and that no mistake be made.
After carefully and minutely going
over the situation thoroughly in its
every detail, a plan of procedure was
decided upon.
First of all. it agreed that tin
organization was to be a plain open
mil shut business proposition; no
appeal was to be made to the farmers
ii any . point Of view;
no to be played on
Ii u is simply and purely a business
matter.
In adopting this plan, under-
stood fully that more time would be
required and the exercise of more
patience would lie necessary; bill
they were deeply imbued with the
fact such a foundation and
with such
and lusting organization could
be effected.
In drafting the charter special
care WAS taken In see to it that it was
sufficiently broad and liberal lo
serve the purposes the votaries.
yet sufficiently strong and
to protect it from designers and
schemers who might want to use it
for selfish ends.
Under the plan of organization
ad by this small but determined
number of it required a
of stockholders to e

companies it is a majority
the money resented that controls
While from a strictly modern
a m of view this is seemingly
an objectionable feature for the
purpose of the organization it i-1
of its strongest safeguards. I r
this plan it is well nigh impossible
for any man or set of men arbitrarily
to get control.
Again, under the plan adopt no
one person is allowed to own more
than a certain number of shares
is the maximum at the par
value of f In, and tho largest stock-
holder is allowed no more voice in
voting at the meetings of the com-
than the smallest one.
If at any time a stockholder should
want to dispose of his stock, the or-
requires him to notify
the directors, and if the intended
purchaser is objectionable as a stock-
holder, then the directors have a
right to purchase the stock for the
organization. Thus by this means
the company is at all times able to
protect itself against those who
might have corrupt purposes
might buy the stock in order to
interfere with or control the policy
of the organization.
The foregoing features constitute
about the only inn provisions
of this company not usually found
in incorporated companies.
preliminaries being arranged, lb
company purchased on easy terms
from Joyner Pail their entire
warehouse property and good will,
and employed these gentlemen to
in conducting the business.
The company is controlled by
elev i n directors elected by the stock
and the officers of the com-
are a President, Secretary,
Treasurer and Auditor, elected an-
by the directors. The com-
was chartered to do business
9th, 1903, and on the
day of that month sold its
first load of tobacco. The company
began business at the busiest season
of the year without a dollar in the
treasury. Messrs. Joyner A I

Consolidated Tobacco Company had

me and then another charge was
rumped up and used against the
company, The motives of the pro-
were attacked and the
chase price of the property was her
aided far and wide as outrageous
this, too, notwithstanding the fact
that the price agreed upon for the
property was twenty five hundred
dollars less than any similar pro-
could have been bought before
the organization of the
ed Tobacco Company.
Everything that could be thought
of was done to keep farmers from
joining it, and it must be admitted
i hat the opposition found many
billing listeners; but as this was
only to be expected, the fact that
more determined opposition was
not developed is really the
The purpose of this is
not to light or antagonize anyone
but simply to use the organization
to promote, protect and advance the
general well being interest of
the tobacco growers.
Viewed from the standpoint
self-interest, it is amazing why any
tobacco grower, be he ever so poor,
should not become a stockholder

the warehouse business simply and
as a means of making money,
which is the surest and safest way
of securing the undivided interest
support of its members and
then to use the organization thus
as means of accomplishing
I he numberless advantages that
ways result from well organized and
disciplined effort.
When the company was only one
year old they were offered another
valuable warehouse property on
similar terms, which they purchased,
and n w for two years we have been
operating two warehouses. The first
year in consequence of the combined
to defeat the organization, a
great many farmers wore kept from
i stock, but at the end of the
season a dividend of per cent was
declared. The next year the crop
was cut about one-half and the stock-
list was more than doubled,
in consequence a matter of
the dividend was not so large as the
first year. Still a dividend of
per cent in cash was paid, very much
to the of the majority of
the stockholders.
During the past summer, and up
to this time, the farmers all over
the country tributary to this mar-
have purchased stock, and there
is hardly a section of the country
within a radius of twenty-five miles
of Greenville a-here there are no
stockholders in this company. Up
to this time the company has done
nearly three times as much business
as it did during the same period last
year, and unless some unforeseen
event should happen, it will this
year reach almost one thousand
members.
The company owns two very
able warehouses in Greenville, and
if the interest continues throughout
the season as it has for the past
sixty days, it will be able by the
spring to pay off all its outstanding
indebtedness, and the property today-
is worth per cent more than when
it was purchased.
As a matter of course, the rapid
access of the company depends
largely on the stockholders, mid
while will naturally
resist and vigorously resent this
intrusion on what they feel is their
preserves, yet if this company gives
the as good service as they
can get elsewhere, and in addition
pays them large annual dividends,
in the course of time the movement
will over-ride all opposition. And
while just at this times warehouse-
men are not to believe it, yet in the
end they will suffer very little in
consequence of the change. On the
other hand the great
benefits that will come to the thous-
and- of tobacco farmers if the move-
widespread and
thorough will, in my opinion, out-
weigh by far the result,
of any previous

The Pay for Labor.
Considerable comment has
made in the State recently about the
pay of the labor One thinks it not
and many will say it. is too
much. It is neither and it is both.
Some laborers may not be paid
while many are paid entire-
ton much. It should not. lie any
more a question as to what is paid
the laborer than it is how much
does lie earn. The truth is, almost
all laborers who are hired at a . r
price do as little as possible to
hold the job Many an employ-
who rays bis laborer fifty cents,
a dollar, or two dollars a day would
be glad to increase the pay if only
be could get the laborer to give
service, Somehow the
ion has taken hold of the laboring
world that the man who hires some

in a comparative sense, can
