There was organized at Mont
gomery, Ala, recently an organi-
zation to be known as the Ala
bama Cotton-Growers' Protective
Association. This organization is
based on the lines of a similar or
ganizattion aniizattion formed III Georgia
some time age. It's avowed pur-
pose is to insure cooperation
among the Gotten growers, par
ticularly in securing accurate sta
tistics Of the cotton crop and in
regulating the prices at which the
crop is sold.
The plan for controlling the
price of cotton is simply to enlist
the aid of the bankers in each
State to assist the planters to
hold their cotton when necessary,
SO that the entire crop will not
be crowded on the market at once.
The sensation developed at
Baton Rouge over the defalca-
tien in the Land Office is anoth-
er argument for rotation in Office.
Had Col. Lanier been reappointed
as he wanted to be, the shortage
would have been concealed for
another four years and possibly
would have been much larger

was made. While eases like this
