Macon, special.-Harvie Jordan, Of
Monticello, Ca, president of the
Southern Cotton Growers Protective
Association, has issued an address to
the cotton producers of the South In
which he says, among other things:
1.-The producers are to be congratu-
lated for the firm stand they have al
really taken to market the crop slow
ly, and that fact alone has prevented
the price from falling to cents dur
ing the month of October. The crop is
about gathered, debts generally are
paid and il Is no longer absolutely
necessary to sell the balance OF the
crop. The ginners' report recently is
sued from the United States census
bureau indicated that up to October
18th only 100000 bales Of cotton had
been ginned. This report clearly indi-
Gates that this crop will not exceed
II 900, 900 bales, If it reaches that fig.
ure. The spinners can we'll afford to pay
the producers II cents per pound for
every bale of American short staple
cotton made this season and do a prof.
table business for the stockholders.
The price OF yarns has advanced 8
cents per pound within the past 30
days and an unprecedented demand
for cotton goods exists, while stocks
are generally lower than they have
been for the past 20 years. The duty
of the producers is plain and simple.
They have crowded the markets for
the past two months, congesting every
facility for handling cotton and play
ing into the hands Of the bear specula-
tors and spinners. The thing to do
now is to give the markets and ship
rers a rest during the next 60 days ana
allow present stocks Of spot cotton TO
be gotten out of the way. Let the
spinners who are living from hand to
mouth run short Of cotton and force
them into the markets as active buy
ers. Let the bear spectators begin
10 feel the lash of the bull operators
when the latter call for the deliveries
OF spot cotton which the former VIII
be unable to deliver.
LET every holder Of cotton stop SELL
ing cotton and contemplate results.
Let each holder determine to put no
more cotton on the market until prices
advance and never sell bale on de-
pressed market.
LET county meetings be held all over
the belt, and strong and active steps
be taken to defend this most valuable
agricultural product from the >rapa-
cious greed Of the selfish spectators.
Let every man who still holds q bale
OF cotton in his possession join In
these county or local meetings, ana
agitate the Importance Of this step
among his neighbors, 70 the end thae
success in the near future will be as
sured. We have held our own well SO
iar, but we can do much better ana
easily advance the price from 2 TO
cents by persistently refusing to sell
and tightening up present receipts.

Alcoholism Cured by Suggestion.

An interesting case of curing q
drunkard by suggestion during his
natural sleep was related by NJ. Farez
at the annual meeting of the French
Society Of Hypnology and Psychology.
The man was an habitual drunkard,
who spent his whole time in cafes
consuming wine, beer, rum, absinthe.
vermouth, etc. Although not usually
a "rowdy" alcoholic, he occasionally
became very violent, and at times
refused any kind of treatment. Final.
ly, suggestion was employed during
sleep without the mans knowledge.
and after some weeks he had no out.
bursts of violence and improved stead
lily. After a year and a half of this
treatment he was entirely cured, and
only drank a little light beer at his
meals.

london. BY Cable.-5apan unofficial
iy has made representations to Rus
sia looking to peace. This action has
resulted in failure, and such repreSen
tations, even privately. are not likely
to be repeated by Japan.
Although the suggestion of pacific
settlement was made unofficially, il
actually had behind it all the weight
of an offer by the Japanese govern
ment II was made direct to Russia.
No power acted as an intermediary,
The proposition was put forward ten
tatively and unoficially. so that the
japanese government would be in a
position to deny any report that it
was suing for peace. The failure OF
these direct negotiations. however, re-
suited in bringing Intervention within
a measurable distance. Foreign Sec
retary Lansdowne's\ plea for arbitra'
tion yesterday evening at the Guild
Hall banquet Is taken here to be a
pointed suggestion to the United
States and France that the time is
approaching when the powers must
take some action. 1t can be definitely
stated that Lord Lansdowne made his
speech with full knowledge that ia
pan will not resent proposition look
ing 10 peace from the three powers
the United States, France and Great
Britain. There Is definite impres'
sion here that the initiative will
come from President Roosevelt,
though the actionwould be joint.
In an interview regarding the fore
going, Baron Haysshi. the Japanese
minister, said:
Il should not be surprised to see
the three powers named. or two OF
them, take the action suggested. Ex'
actly upon what basis of settlement
peace could be secured. is at present
impossible to see. but there is not
the slightest doubt, that combined
representations, especially II led by
President Roosevelt, would have n
far-reaching result between the two
countries, one Of which was thor
ougbly defeated. II Is comparatively
easy to make peace in this case. as
neither side Is thoroughly defeated.

OF friendly intervention have vastly
