COTTON GROWERS.
Advised to Hold Cotton for Better
 Prices.

Special from Atlanta.
 President Harvie Jordan. Of the lh- terstatc Cotton Growers Association has recently mailed the following CIT cular letter to each of the presidents ni the different State Associations in the cotton belt: .,
 Monticello, Ga. Aug. 26. 1901. "--.. -. ---, Pr,siiept:
 pea? Sir AT tho President or the Cotton Growers Protective Association oi your State I deem it proper to call your attention to the present condition of the cotton crop throughout the South, and to impress upon you the importance of calling upon the pro drcers of your State to cooperate Wltn the other States in so marketing their cotton this season as to make it com mand a fair and legitimate price. It is a well established fact that the present Texas crop will be short at least 1000, 900 bales, and that the sea son for it's recovery from the serious effects of a long continued drought IS now too far advanced to hope for bet ter results In the trans Mississippi sec tion Heavy and continuous rains dur ing the past two weeks have materi- ally cut down the anticipated yield east of the Mississippi.
 We cannot now expect and greater production than the crop of last year, while ell indications at this time point to a decreased yield There is now good demand for cotton fabrics in all parts of the world, and the spinners are running short of old cotton. We may confidently expect cotton famine within the next twelve months. therefore trust you will issue circu- lar letter to your people and have it published in the press of your State laying these facts before the producers and appeal to them to stand firm for 10 cents per pound for middling grades. If the crop is not rushed on the market we can again become masters of the situation and control the price. The Texas producers are rapidly organizing and will stand by us this season.
 With the best wishes for you and the noble cause you represent, I beg to remain yours truly,
 "Harvie Jordan. President Southern Cotton Growers
 Association
 President Jordan says that if the far mers will stand together there will be no trouble in securing 10 cents for mid dlings. We propose to keep them well posted and ask their active co-opera- tion in this movement" He said:
 We have met today to start the ma chinery in motion which should enable our people to secure good prices for their coming crop We propose to keep them fully posted and ask their active cooperation in our movement.
 Photographic dispatches today state that cotton is being rapidly bought al all interior points in Texas at cents per pound for good grades. Letters re- 
 planters state that cotton is expected to advance to 10 and 12 cents per pound within the next ninety days.
 The crop will be unquestiona bly short, and a determined effort now or the part of the producers will carry prices to the point reached last Sep tember."

The REGISTER is making an effort
to get its subscription list on a cash
basis, and to this end we have been
sending out accounts to those of our
subscribers who are in arrears. These
have been in many cases promptly
responded to, but there are some who
take no notice. Sensible persons can
readily see that it does not pay to
spend much money in postage in try
ing to collect bills for subscription at
the extremely low price of dollar a
year, so we will send bills to some of
the delinquent ones and if there is no
response We will stop the paper and
give the accounts to an officer to col
lect. There ought to be no necessity
for sending duns, anyhow. The date
on the address shows the time to which
the paper is paid, and we hope our
subscribers will note this and send US
the amount due.
If the REGISTER fails to come some
of these fine mornings you will know
the reason now.

A Different View of the Matter.

The assault case in which Robert
Underdonk figured as the principal
aggressor has dwindled down to a case
Of frolic-not of a very creditable sort,
to be sure. Richard Obert and James
Westbrook were tried in Cumberland
last week for their participation in
the affair, and escaped easily, the case
against Westbrook being dismissed
and Obert being fined one dollar and
costs. Bob Underdonk had his hear
ing before Magistrate Martin. Ac-
cording to the testimony, the three
men above named went to the Miller
house, and Mrs. Miller made them a
hot pot. After drinking awhile West
brook and Obert left, but Underdonk
went up stairs and one Of the girls
went into another room but Under
donk grabbed Minnie. She stated
that Underdonk Rugged and pinched
her" but did no other harm. Mrs.
Miller went to the room and ordered
Underdonk to get out, but according
to some of the testimony Underdonk
gave Mrs. Miller dollar, and she left
with the injunction for Bob to be a
good boy" Justice Martin held Bob in
$500 bail for the action of the grand
IurY.

The above report shows the affairs

cial condition. The total Indebtedness
is only $1,000, and the splendid prop
erty acquired two years ago is worth
far more than this. The debt incurred
by the purchase of the Fountain Rock
property and the removal OF the build
Ings from the old grounds and erection
of new structures, has been consider
ably reduced, and a few more years
will probably see it wiped out entire
