MEETING OF FARMERS
ENTHUSIASM HIGH AMONG MONT
 GOMERY COTTON GROWERS.
Second Annual Convention of state Organization Will He Attended by Big Delegations From
 Every County.

The enthusiasm of the farmers Is being primed to the limit for the sec ond annual convention of the Alabama Cotton Association to be held in Mont- gomery Wednesday, January 3. President W. H. Seymour said yes tcrday the attendance should eclipse any gathering of cotton growers and i business men ever known to this city. Montgomery county will send one of l the largest delegations that are to be seen in the convention. The total number elected at the last meeting of the county association Is fifty-six. It was deemed but just that this or | ganiZation in the very front ranks of the Southern Cotton Association should make as big a display at the State Division meeting as possible. Of course | the delegations will represent only the constitutional limit in the voting. The growers are to come under the most encouraging conditions that could have been expected less than year ago when the Southern Association was launched in New Orleans. The price of cotton seems to be on the ascending scale in spite of the mar | ket manipulations of the speculators. l As President Seymour pictures in | wreath designs sent out on card a few days ago, January 23, 1905, just | prier to the New Orleans convention, cotton was selling at 1-2 cents. and on December 12, it was bringing twelve cents on the same basis The meeting next Wednesday will be devoted in part to flanking the movement for fif- l teen cent cotton, to stopping the
 stream-as small as 1t is--of spots l from day to day and thus take away the apple of the bears eye, | The delegates from Montgomery l county who were elected and are being urged to attend the State convention 1 to man are as follows:
