TO HAVE A COTTON CONVENTION.
Plan to BE Discussed That Is Claimed
Would Aid the Farmers.

Atlanta, Oct. 23.-Another convention is
scheduled for Wednesday. The most i'm
portant matter to be discussed Is the oper-
alton of the sub-treasury plan. The advo-
Gates are loud in their praises of it,
claiming it will do away with the present
conditions, which force the farmers to
sacrifice their cotton at a low price only
to see the staple advance as soon as it
is in other hands. Under the new scheme
the farmers are to be enabled to hold their
cotton. depositng it in bonded warehouses
and being allowed to borrow money on 81
az reasonable rates of interest. The ware
houses, however, instead of being oper-
ated by the government are to be con-
trolled by a strong corporation. Not only
the farmers, but the spinners and factors
throughout the country are said 10 be
keenly alive 10 the Importance of the plan
and the action in this state is likely to be
. forerunner of what viii be done
throughout all of the cotton states
Among the distinguished men in attend
ance viii be Mr.. John Barrett. formerly
minister to Siam. and Mr.. d. A. Tomp1ins
of Charlotte. N. c. Mr.. Barrett while
abroad, made a special study of the de
maud for cotton goods in Asia, and Will
be able TO lend much interest to the dis
cussion before the convention. Mr.. Temp
kins is a celebrated spinner and has the
reputation of having built more cotton
mills than any other man in the South.

More to Haul Cotton.
Americus, Ga. oct. 23-Both the Central
Railroad and Georgia and Alabama will
advance rates on shipments of cotton from
Americas to North and South Carolina
points tomorrow, as i'll the case of Daw-
son. Ga Rates at present are 81 cents
per 100, and the advance will be consider
able. The roads assert that the rates are
entirely too low at present, inasmuch as
the Southern Railway gets a long haul
from Atlanta on al shipments of cotton
from this section to Carolina points, and
hence the necessity for advancing the
rates.
Local shippers have taken no action as
yet, and none is contemplated so far as
is known.
