UNIFORM COTTON LAWS.

the thorough discussions OF the cotton
question considered in all its phases.
with the view OF recommending uniform
legislation in all the Southern States
that will be for the bettermem Of cotton
growers as a class.
While the consideration of the Com
missioners Of Agriculture viii cover II
number of proposed changes in the mar
ketimg Of cotton, the prominent idea of
the convention will lie discussion of
the proposed Uniform weight and classi-
tication Of the staple. This idea, adj
vanced by Commissioner Stevens and
indorsed by President Brown, of the
Agricultural Society, has met with favor
throughout the State generally. 1t is
understood that the producers of cotton.
as well as the largest shippers of the
staple in the State, have expressed the
belief that by uniform classification
and standard weight that is to be made
final by law the reclamations that come
back annually from the European buyers
will be stopped. These reclamations
have bred discomfort for years among
the American shippers, and recently the
producers of the staple themselves have
understood that a large part Of their
profit goes to the payment Of reclaina-

This is the only Democratic paper that
has ever succeeded in Henderson county,
which has always been heavily republi-
can.
The paper has made great inroads in
Republican ranks during the three years
of its existence. A former majority of
400 to 600 reduced to II ON legislative
ticket in 1898.
1t always fights straight from the
shoulder and is never placed in conn
promising attitude.
The office dispensed an enormous
amount of Democratic literature in the
great fight for white supremacy in 1898
and was commended very highly by
State Chairman Simmons.
The Hustler was power in county
and senatorial campaigns. Mr.. Shipman
being chairman of his county and sena-
torial district (See sketch elsewhere in

The paper was first to urge the NOM

ton of any county paper in the district
reducing the usual republican majority
in Henderson more than half.
