10 CENTS AS MINIMUM
PRICE FOR COTTON.
Important Steps Taken
6y the COttOn-GrOWers'
Convention at St. Louis.
The Question of Ware
houses.
st. Louis, Mo-, Sent. 27

St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 81.
The Cotton-Growers' Conven-
ton, representing the entire
South, after thoroughly canvass
ing the condition of the crop and
the prospect for yield, urged
farmers of entire South not to
sell their cotton at less than 10
cents, fixing this as a minimum
price to be accepted. If individ-
ual farmers are compelled to
realize on a part of their crop
they will be urged to sell as little
as possible and to market the
balance slowly. Such action bv
thls convention will unquestion-
ably have very marked effect
IN strengthening the views of
planters on 10 cents as a minimum
and against the organized offort
OF the planters, who are in bet
ter financial shape than for years
twill be difficult for the bears to
make any serious break in price
Year, W Sort OF $ojis5, b ii esaetically assured
prospects of going to $500, ,OOO,-
600.
The convention has discussed
warehousing from every point of
view, and occepts without dis
pute the supreme need of ware
houses throughout the South.
Many plans will be discussed as
an outcome of this agitation, and
finally some broad proposition
will be accepted everywhere as
the solution of the greatest prob
lem connected with cotton hand
ling. Individual warehouses will
be established here and there,
and efforts will be made by pro-
moters of various schemes to or
ganiZe cooperative warehouses to
be owned and operated by farm
ers, but visionary as such enter
prises are, they serve to awaken
the worlds attention to the i'm
portance of a better system of
marketing cotton.
i While it was evident that every
: delegate was most enthusiastic
as to the need of warehouses and
good results to follow their estab-
lishment, it was not, as thought
, full men knew, possible for the
convention to develop a ware
, house system. 1t did favor. an
effort advocated in Texas Of a CO..
operative movement by farmers
: themselves to establish such a
} system, but the plan is entirely
2 too visionary to be successful.
: It's agitation, however, will do
: good, for there is room for; many
: warehouse companies, and if CO.
4 operation could succeed in work.
i ing out such a problem, even in
part, it would be an excellent
: thing. The speech made yester-
= day by Sam Morse against specu-
lation as curse to the farmer
i, and manufactures, illustrated by
j. many striking facts, showing
d how supertitition rules cotton
a speculation, proved the keynote
Y of the meeting and a continue
topic of discussion. Speeches or
It the subject of warehousing were
l. made also by Messrs. William.
l. Summerwell and Edmonds.
j. The farmers fully appreciated
le the desirability of asking the cot
,r ton manufacturers of Europe t,
=. visit the South, and unanimousl,
q passed resolutions to that end. =

The Rev. John L. Scudder.

nouncing his plan to establish
dancing classes in his "People g
Palace" which will be opened to
the public in the near future.
He4answered the complaints last
night by preaching a sermon on
the stbject: "Is it a sin to dance?"
He said:

deem it wise to define our posi-

says there is a time to dance, and
that is also our belief. There is
a psychological basis for this di-
version.

SOUTH DEFENDED

Prominent Divine Recent
Iy ATTENDED the British
Wesleyan General Con-
ference In Sheffield,
Eng, When the South
Was Discussed.

Was Discussed.
Bishop E. E. Hoss, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, was sent as a delegate at
large from the Southern Metho-
dist Church to the British Wes-
leyan general conference, which
meets every sixth year. The
session was held at Sheffield,
England, during July, ssand in an
address before that body Bishop
Hoss used vigorous language in
defending the South from the at
tacks of those who have endeav-
ored to do this section injury.
The address was couched in fear
less terms, and is just such an
eloquent. exposition of true
Southern feeling as will appeal
to every resident of the South
land. The address in part fol-
lows:
And now. Mr. -Presideatss
sible misapprehensions, let me
state in the most definite
possible terms that from my
hearts core to my finger tips,
and in every fibre of my being |
am an American, loving with a
passionate affection every foot of
soil in the great republic, and
reverencing more than any poor
words of mine can possibly ex-
press the starry flag which is the
outward and visible symbol Of its
authority. At the same time,
seeing that 1 am from the South,
!. and that 1 belong to a church
which unhesitatingly publishes
in it's very name, the geographl-
cal sphere Of it's operations, !
shall offer no apology for confin-
ing myself chiefly to the discus;
sion of affairs in that particular
part of the United States. Am
wrong in supposing that youl
judgment in regard to the South
:. has been made up in large part
on the testimony of those, who
to put it mildly, held no brief il
our behalf? At any rate, as i
y appears to us, the majority O.
those who have spoken and writ
. ten about Jus have hardly Set u
: in a fair light before the world
That we are a little sensitive il
: regard to our reputation is n
doubt true, and it can scareel
be considered a fault that w
cherish just regard for tn
opinion of mankind.
To give a concrete example, tc
what I mean, let me say:that M
great while ago | re-read Pro:
Goldwin Smiths History of TT
United States, 2after having see
it endorsed in the stately column
of the Spectator as of unimpeac
able authority. But this secor
reading served only to fortit
the conclusion which | had reac
ed about the book some years b
} fore namely, that though wri
ten in exasperatingly good En-
lish, it is as perfeat a blend
crude ignorance and Pharisaie
malignity as the literature of O
common tongue can show. VIII

of course, there are certai,
restrictions which should b,
thrown around this inherentl,
harmless diversion. First, ther,
IS a time to dance. Young people
should observe proper hours
Dancing after midnight and in g
suffocating atmosphere is unhy.
gienic and contrary to nature.
We are not bats and owls and
should not change night into day
and day into night. 1 see no
reason why receptions cannot
commence at 8 instead of 10 P.
M. and close before the small
hours of the morning. The soci-
ETY. belle that retires at 3 to 4
A. M, is apt to act like a she
bear the next day. 1t is evident
to all in her own house that she
has danced too much.
Then again we should be
careful and positive as the man
ner of dancing. Here there
should be great plainness of
speech. There are improper and
lmmodest modes of holding ones
partner, and these should never
be tolerated in private dance or
public reception. And the value
of a we'll conducted dancing
liteness and purity i:S"e5 ofd fd6eetnlte 6eanrltt sg lp;
gest the proprieties necessary to
a harmless diversion. No great
er liberties should be allowed
upon the floor than elsewhere,
| and those in control should see
| to it that dancing should not de-
generate into peripatetic hug
ging. All dancing in the Peo-
ple's Palace will be of a proper
character and it is our business
to maintain high standards in
this and all other amusements
provided by this institution.
Again, young people should
be csreful in the choice of places
and partners. Where and with
whom to dance are important
questions which all should con.
scientiously heed. Public balls
and dancing pavillions are IRE.
sponsible picnic grounds where
young women are clasped in the
arms of men they never met be-
fore and whose antecedents are
unknown are pernicious IN the
extreme and are responsible fol
the ruin of multitudes of young
women. Behind many spotles:

so young people cannot be tot

"The sale Of intoxicating

this test and adjudication we are

therefore, in a position to speak
from personal observation. But
the record of the facts is writ
large in the life of the nation,
and SO is open to the inspection
OF all honest and fair-minded
students. If anything in human
annals is susceptible of proof, it
IS this: That the men of the
South, from the beginning of CO.

time, have contributed their full
share to the prosperity and the
glory of their country.

Quite recently l have gon
through the autobiography O
Field Marshall Lord Garne
Wolsley, who, as a young Britisl
officer, spent some weeks of 1856
IN General Lees camp. Speak
ing of Gen. Lee he says: "H,
was the ablest general, and t,
me seemed the greatest man tina
ever conversed with; and Yet
have had the privilege of meetina
Won Moltke ane Prince Bismarck
and upon one occasion had a very
long and interesting conversation
with the latter. Gen. Lee was
one of the few men that ever Sc
rlously impressed and awed me
with their natural, their inherent
greatness. His greatness made
me humble, and 1 nevef felt my
own Individual insignificance
more keenly than in his presence.
He was, indeed, a beautiful char
acter, and of him it might truth
fully be written, In righteous

Of Stonewall jackson, General
Wolsley adds: What a hero!
And yet how simple, how hum
ble-minded a man. In manner
he was different from General
Lee, and can class him with no
man that l have ever met or read
of in history. Like the great
commander whom he served with
such knightly loyalty, he was
deeply religious, but more aus
tere, more Puritan in type.
Both were great soldiers, yet
neither had any Goth-like delight
in war;"
These succinct and comprehen-
sive enlogies are elaborated at
judicious, painstaking and care
full work on "Stonewall Jackson
and the American Civil War;"
and even Mr.. Theodore Roose-
velt, president of the United
States, does not hesitate to admit
that "Gen. Lee was unquestion-
ably the greatest of all great sol
diers that have been produced by
our English-speaking race, and
this in spite of the fact that his
last and greatest antagonist
Gen. Grant-may himself claim
to rank with Marlborough and
Wellington.
These men, and a multitude
like them, who of acknowledged
right sit in the seats of the
mighty, did not come by acci-
dent. On the contrary, they
grew by normal processes out of
the social, civil and religious con-
ditions in which they were born,
