PREPARATIONS FOR CONCLAvE.
Almost all the cardinals of the con-
clave have now arrived. Their time
on Monday was mainly occupied with
lengthy meeting of the congregation,
which was notable for the cordiality
with which Cardinal Gibbons was re-
ceived. After the meeting the cardin-
ais received numerous visits at their
various residences. In well-informed
circles Cardinal Angelo di Pietro, pro-
datary Of the late pope, is being talked
of as a compromise candidate in the
event that Cardinals Oreglia, Gotti,
Rampolla or Seratino Vanutelli is ull-
able to secure the necessary votes.
Should Di Pietro be elected pope he
would, it is said, be the representative
of the Rampolli-Gotti faction and vet
would be fairly acceptable to all. Car
dinal Logue, archbishop of Armagh,
arrived Monday from Ireland. He
said that he believed that the successor
to Leo would be quickly chosen. In
his case, perhaps the hope is father
to the thought, as he said he did not
look forward with Il great degree of
pleasure to being shut up in the vati-
can during the present hot weather.
Speaking of Cardinal Gibbons. the
Irish cardinal paid him Il glowing tri-
butte. though, like all the preatcs here
he held out no hope that the American
cardinal had the rcmotest chance OF
election. Indeed" said Cardinal
Logue, 81 think Cardinal Gibbons
would be a subject of commiscration
if the selection should devolve upon
him, for no American would care to
spend the rest of his life confined with
in the precincts of the vatican.'' The
Irish cardinal expressed the opinion
that the question of sending a note
to the powers protesting against the
treatment of the vatican by the Italian
government should be left to the next
pope. 1t is now practically certain
that all the cardinals will be present
at the conclave except Cardinal Moran
archbishop Of Sidney, who will not
reach Rome in time. and Cardinal Gel
esia, archbishop of Palermo, who is
too i'll to attend.
Cardinal Gibbons was most cordially
received by all his colleagues and the
members of the sacred college appoint
ell at the last consistory were present
ed to him. Cardinal Gibbons then
took the oath administered by Cardin-
al Oreglia, dean Of the sacred college,
to maintain strict secrecy on all ques-
tons discussed at the meetings of the
congregation to defend the rights pre-
negatives and temporal claims of the

Fall bv Putting Up Price of Cotton Now

Commissioner of Agriculture Stev-

an effort on the part of those who con-
troll the cotton market to cause inc
southern farmers TO plant an unusually
large crop this year, thereby bringing
ON a tremendous output next season IN
order that the prices can be reduced
And Mr.. Stevens is very much op-
posed to seeing the farmers OF Georgia

them. and urges them to take no no.
tice of the present high prices, and TO
plant even less cotton than they did
last wear. Mr.. Stevens has watched
the situation very closely for the past
few weeks, and says there is no doubt
but thatthe 1O-cent cotton of today is a
ruse to bring on larger crop in order
that it can be purchased next fall for
or 7 cents.
ST would be glad if the newspapers
of the state would say for me to the
farmers of Georgia." said Mr.. Stevens,
that the present high price OF cotton
is only a scheme TO bring about large
crop. If it is discovered that large
crop is planted you will see the price
gradually 90 down, and by the time
the cotton begins to open the prices

will have struck the bottom.
"The Georgia farmers and the farm
ers of the south should take warning
and plant even smaller crop than
they did last year, if they possibly can
do so, 1t would be much better for
them and for the state and for the
south if they would plant more grain
than cotton.
"Those New Workers who control
the cotton situation plan and scheme
every year in order to defrauo Cne
southern farmer of his cotton, and
big loss is caused every year TO those
who confne themselves strictly to cot
ton. Ten cents and over is what cot
ton is bringing now, but watch my
prediction, and if it is learned that
bigger crop than last years has been
planted you will see the price begin to
fall, and by next August cotton VIII
bring only or cents, if that much.
"The time has come, it seems to me,
for the southern planters to let cotton
alone as much as possible, and to live
more at home. They can do it if they
will. A few men on Wall street con-

good water and healthy community
certainly make Parrott the ideal place
to educate your children.
J. l.. Parrott has just returned from
Enigma, where he spent week with
Sam Shippey. He reports that he
found great many partridges in that
section and killed a large number OF
them, He says Mr.. Bob Smith OF
Enigma has the finest dog he ever
saw. One day, Mr.. Parrott says, they
walked out a short distance without
their guns and the dog set cOvey OF
birds. Mr.. Smith sent the dog back
after the guns, but he did not return
promptly. After waiting some time the
gentlemen heard the report of gun
and upon investigation found that the
dog had set another covey and shot
into them, killing several.

ADVANCE IN COTTON GOODS.
High Price of the Staple Cause
Advance in Its Products.

What the high price of cotton means
to the country as whole is beginning
to be appreciated in local circles as
well as those interested in .the cotton
business.
Dawson merchants who have not yet
given orders for fall cotton goods will
have to pay "war prices" for the same
when needed.
The dry goods men find that the
price of all manufactured cotton goods
have advanced within the last few
weeks from 10 to Is per cent above
the former price, and then even in
cases where the goods have been con-
tracted for away ahead of the selling
season it is hard to secure deliveries.
Fortunately for them the business
of the present season is about closed,
but the advance came before they had
made contracts for the next season s
stock, and so they were forced in many
cases to buy at the increased cost. The
great demand for certain goods that
this condition of affairs has caused is
shown ia the case of the Amoskeag
mills, from which the entire season s
output of bingham was taken in three
days.

There is iron in it, and it's just the
