ADVICE TO COTTOn MEN
Law Of Supply and Demand Will Adjust
Prices. SO Says the New York
Journal of Commerce

Ii is doubtful ii any large scheme for
combining to hold back cotton from the
market until it advances to price fixed
upon in advance will work. Much OF
the staple Is produced by small farmers
white and black. who can hardly be
brought into any such arrangement A
combination Of this kind so much talked
of would have too much OF the charac-
ter Of q monopoly to contrel supply and
price to be popular. II would in reality
be combination in restraint Of trade,
and II would Be costly to carry out The
expense would have ultimately to come
out Of the value of the cotton. which
might prove Disappointing. But cotton
will keep, ana il properly cared for will
not deterioate. Ii the people Of the

CHARGED WITH MURDER
The Case of Hund1ey Williams and Ross
Johnson Postponed

The Coushatta Citizen of January 7,
says: 'Hundley Williams and Ross
Johnson who, have been charged with
the murder Of J. P. Watkins in December
1908. were brought here last Tuesday
preparatory to trial. They were ar
raigned on Wednesday morning and
their case was fixed for trial on Friday,
January 10. A strenuous effort was
made by their counsel to have their case
fixed for an earlier date but It'll was put
down for that date at the. suggestion of
the District Attorney who insisted that
no earlier date would suit the State.
These parties have not been charged with
killing the driver of Watkins who was
also found dead near the scene and will
be tried only on the charge of the MUIR
der of Watkins. The prisoners are both
well known and prominently connected !;
the trial will attract considerable atten-
ton and will be heavily contested. The
State will be represented by District At
torney Wilkinson and Colonel Wise OF
Shreveport, while Hon. J. D. Wilkinson,
Of Shreveport, and Scheen & Stephens
OF this place will appear as defendants"
