progress between tho editor of tn,

J. Cunningham, w. ID. Mayfold

the bottom Of tho fight, and the
real interests are stake, may ap-
pear IN subsequent developments,
but at present tho public can read
with more or less concern the no.
tices of the publishing committee
and the statement Of Editor Crows.
The committee has issued no.
tice to tho public citing sections
two and six Of its contract with
Editor Grows and protesting
against recent editorials in the
Cotton Plant. 1t also wrote Mr..
Crews, citing sections two and six
OF the contract and giving him
SIXTY days, as provided therein. to
Qult, and also allowing him the
privilege to give mp the job immo-
diately, if not sooner.
From q statement of Mr.. Crows,
published in the Cotton Plant, it
can be inferred that he will not
avail himself Of the privilege cx-
tended by the committee, but will
use his sixty days to advantage.
There is no doubt that the Cot.
ton Plant editor is not asleep and
has put in some good work and
will in the noxt sixty days make
