i, At Henderson, Ky, the people raised
ra1f the sum necessary to build and
operate cotton mill Every business
man in that city will tell you it was
the best investment ever made by the
people of Henderson 1t has added
over $500 people to the population of

employees Of the mill distributes weekly
a large sum of money.
At Cannelton, Ind, is cotton mill
which is one of the most profitable
concerns to be found located on the

The three cities named are not in the
cotton belt and they are compelled to
pay long freight hauls to get the raw
material, though not SO long as the
mills in the eastern states, yet all the
mills in the states named are prosper
Gus.
All lne cotton mills of the south are
thriving. and all cities in which there
is cotton mill-north, south or east
are thriving.
Pine Bluff is in the best section ol
the cotton belt, and the best cotton in
the world is raised right here in JET
ferson county. 1t was Jefferson county
cotton which took the first awards at
the worlds fair at Chicago, Pan-Amer-
lean exposition at Buffalo, Atlanta ex-
uosition, and the exposition at Paris.
No cotton is so eagerly sought by the
eastern, northern and foreign millers
as that grown in Jefferson county, Ark,
and it is today bringing the highest
market prices.
The raw material of the very best
quality is here in abundance, shipping
facilities are unsurpassed, and every
thing else necessary for the suceessul
operation of a cotton mill are to be
had, even to the capital necessary, II
only the proper effort is put forth
If the Commercial league will take
hold Of this matter with spirit or de-
termination, the necessary amount OF
stock can be raised, all arrangements
perfected, and by the opening OF the
cotton season next year the mill built
and in operation.
It is worth the effort; it can be made
a go.

MONTGOMERY FARMERS EN-
 DORSE NEW ORLEANS MARKET

assistance; that the Crescent City "bull- ed" the price of cotton; that the New York market strove to keep prices down. The speculative world, said PrPesident Houghton, seems reluctant to give the farmer living" price for his cotton.
 One voice is small" he said, but we can encourage public sentiment in favor of New Orleans
 Agricultural Commissioner R. R. Poole suggested that the club endorse w. P. Brown. the famous New Orleans bull, but Secretary Barnes said 1t was not a ques- ton of endorsing any speculator, but of favoring one of the two markets. He corroborated the remarks of the Presi- dent.
 c. c. Abercrombie. Chairman of the committee on the recent barbecue, re- ported that $S4s.90 had been donated for the barbecue, and that $2S9. A had been ex- pended, the residue being $59 46. Thanks of the club were voted to the committee with special thanks to Chairman Aber- crombie, and Moses Stewart, to whom much of the success of the occasion is due.
 A resolution by the club at its last meet ing looking to the offering of prizes for special crops was discussed. J. W. Ab- ercrombie, Chairman of the committee, reported that he and his colleagues, J. C. Adams, A. M. Baldwin, J. D. RoQue- more and J. D. Mitchell, had no formal communication to make. But MT. Aber- crombie thinks a sufficient sum of money for the purpose can be raised by popular subscription and that the prizes would be extremely encouraging of better eff. forts by the farmers. J. M. Stuckey, of the Committee or Truck Farming, made an interesting re. port. Its data were gotten from prom inent truckers. MT. Stuckey said tho trucking industry was in a very unsatis factory condition. He said that irriga. tion was needed and that irrigation by g company organized for the purpose was feasible. Montgomery. he said. ought tc be shipping point for truck produce. Dr. A. St. c. Tennille spoke on irriga tion. He said that the bountiful water supply, the clay soil and the flats con. tiguous to the river made artificial mois ture for crops expedient. The drouths 1T April and September made 1t almost nec- essary. he stated.
 W. H. Seymour also spoke on irrigation
 Commissioner Poole invited the Cut Commissioners of the Southern States ir Montgomery on October 2, and g. The invitation was accepted
 Robert Halls made a few remarks on sreep raising. and A. R. Harris and P. B. Mastin spoke on pasturage. M. M. Dawson and others talked of fruit trees.
 Captain Cook. representing Wilcox County in the Legislature, made a short address to the Club.
 The question of labor was proposed, but lack of time prevented a discussion.
 On motion of MT. Halls and MT. Daw- son the Club will meet at 10 o'clock next Saturday the labor question to be the ST scial order. President Houghton ap- pointed Messrs. Smith, Mastin and Poole T committee to examine into proposed legislation on the labor situation. The President Is ex-officio a member of the cen mittee.
 The meeting adjourned until 10 o'clock Saturday morning.

press office he enGuired for two packages and they were handed out to him after he had paid the charges. Before he could get away with them, however, Agent Claude Harper had him arrested by Robert Amos, town marshal of Boaz. Swindan told his tale in apparently a straight forward manner and did not hesitate to answer all questions tending to incriminate himself
 Agent Harper and J. T. Chadwick were put on the stand to make the connections gave an account of the amount of goods in the depot for Chadwick & co. The express package contained clothing and Je"eiry valued at about $4O0. Marshall Amos testified that he arrested SWindau "ho gave his name as Chadwick, and in- slsted on that name for several hours when ne broke down and said that Dun- can mad led him into the trouble Mar small Amos found Duncan at Mountain ooro' In his grip was a package of sta tlonery of Chadwick x Co" On tbe way to Gadsden Swindal told him of the connection Price and Clements had with
 tho aHalr. Other names were mentioned at the trial, but no further arrests had
 been made at that time It is the theory
 or the omcers that these men intended to
 oruer all the goods they could get and as
 socn as they arrived to run them off to '"'nd Nity under cover of darkness ana perhaps elsewhere. When tbe scheme would work no longer thev uo,,id

 The State depository is required to des- gnate three Repositories in each county but as many more may be named as are deemed necessary,
 Ed C. Fowler, the State depository, said yesterday that several carloads of books had already been received, but there would be delay in shipping them to county Repositories owing to tardiness in delivery of some of the books.
 The shipments are so heavy that MT. Fowler has found it necessary to secure a large warehouse wherein the books are stored.

 Regulating Farm Labor.

The Montgomery Agricultural Club met 1n the Council Chamber of the City Hall yesterday morning at Il o'clock. with VIII meet again next Saturday morning 1t 10 o'clock.
 An important matter brought before the club by the President was a proposed en- 0orsement of the New Orleans cotton market in preference to the New York cotton market. the latter being consid- cred sympathetic with the consumer and . Dear" and the former considered in ecuch with the producer. No action was taken on this question.
 4 committee was appointed to examine tho labor bills pending before the pres ents session of the Legislature. and to suggest. If 1t be expedient, any new legal provisions that would improve the pres ent conditions of rural labor.
 President M. B. Houghton called the meeting to order, with Secretary J. A. Barnes present. Over thirty members were present, and thirty-two applicants. whose names were read by the Secretary were admitted into the club.
 , A discussion of the most convenient weekday for converting followed, Presi- de.t Houghton introducing the question by saying that Saturday seemed too frauxht with business to allow farmers to attend the clubs sessions.
 On motion of Messrs. Westcott and Barnes. the chair appointed W. D. West colt. A. B. Brassell. H. L. Stone. J. T. Bozeman and Frank McI.ane. a commit tee to canvass the membership of the club and thus obtain a consensus of opin- ion as to the most convenient day.
 President Houghton addressed the club upon the success of the last barbecue, and said that it had been beneficial to the organization. He said the club was pos sessed of a potentiality for many good results, among which he mentioned the proposed agricultural experiment station Of the national government
 The farmers and their clubs should put themselves on record in regard to the crops. said Mir. Houghton. He called at- tention to yesterdays break in the cot ton market.
 He said that the South should prefer New Orleans to New York as market New Orleans receives ten times as many bales of cotton as New York; 1t is more sympathetic with the producer of cot ton; it is rather the conservative market of the cotton world; but New York, all
 most entirely a speculative market, was fin touch with the spinners and consum- CTS of the North. It was plain, then, that the South must look to New Orleans Tor
