New Orleans, Special.-With a
large and representative attendance
from the cotton-growing states, the
Southern Cotton Association opened
a three days session here. The hall
was crowded when President Jordan
called the convention to order. A
feature that attracted attention was
the presence Of a negro delegation
from Hines county, Mississippi. Sec,
rotary Moods Of the Mississippi asso-
citation said they were regular dele
gates and entitled to seats. President
Jordan was given All ovation when
he asccHded the platform. The invo-
cation was offered by Rev. Dr.. Bever-

tica}|y settled at the afternoon session

had unanimously decided favorably
on that proposition. The announce
mcnt provoked the convention to a
wtlr!"jnd Of cheering.
The premature announcement of

forced by advices from New York to
the effect that newspaper dispatches
and Wall Street reports printed and
circulated there indicated Il lack of

NEW IMMIGRATION idea
Secretary Bruner Believes the Sug-
gestion Made by DR.. McIver Would
Solve the immigration Problem.

Raleigh, Special.-Secretary T. K.
Bruner, Of the North Carolina board
Of agriculture, has something to say
regarding Immigration into North
Caro- ..raehmrdl hrdlu shrdl rid WV
Carolina, after having attended the
meeting Of the Piedmont Association
at Greensboro. When asked what in
his Judgment was the most helpful
step taken or idea advanced at that
meeting Of free lands in North Caro-
lima. This was the suggestion Of DR..
Charles D. McIver, and his plans as
outlined are about as follows: That
land owners who have lands for sale
and who want a colony Of industrious
people to settle about them 50 as to
create a community interest and to
promote the sale of adjoining lands,
should unreservedly donate say ten
acres upon something like the follow
ing conditions: that the party accept
ing them, would, on his part, agree
to build a home and improve the prop
erty by proper cultivation; and that
he wcud live upon it for a term Of five
years, with the understand no that at
any time during the five years the adj
joining lands. ten twenty or thirty
aacrcs, may be purchased at so much
per acre. The price Of the additional
lands being fixed at the time the do
nation is accepted, becomes really q
part of the contract aI:1 would pre-
clude any advance in the price during
the five year period. Should the ten
ant have the holding before the time.
the improvements would become the
property Of the donor.
For instance, a land owner having
40 acres for sale. values the land at
So an acde-$60O, for the lot. He
proposes to give ten acres to Il bona
tide settler, who will build a home and
occupy the land for five years. This
small holding would enable the donor
to secure the part Of the time of the
tenant and his family. when the con
ditions on his own farm demanded ex.
ira help. The tenant would soon want
to expand and TO acquire more prop
erty. The donor having this i'll view
has already offered the tenant the adj
joining 80 acres at $40 an acre-thus
making a total Of S600-the original
valuation Of the 10 acres.
'This plan appears to be the most
effective form Of advertising. since
the great ambition Of the white mai
is to own land, and his own home and
ireside. Several persons i'll the
Greensboro meeting at once agreed
10 give lands on such conditions.
There may be others who are not
members Of the organization. and not
even in territory who are willing to
do the sam thing. 70 all such the
Department OF Agriculture extends an
Invitation to record with it such lands
and thuss permit the Department to
advertise such donations 10 all en-
quirers seeking a home Ill North Caro-
lima. This would draw to us many
young men Of ambition. whose ready
money is only limited.

Extremely Popular.

Glrdles are so extremely popular
that everybody seems to wear them.
and keep q variety OF them at hand,
for the various garments with which
they MAJ be worn. Their popularity
is due to the fact that they make the
waist look small and graceful and the
figure trim. A snug girdle gives a
woman a more youthful figure than
a loose low one; and the tight-ftting
silk-girdle belts are certainly very neat
and becoming. .

Hand Bags.

On some Of the newest hand bags the
handles are attached by means of tiny
buckles. This is generally the case
when there are double handles, one
on each side Of the opening. The
little envelope bags that are long and
rather narrow. and have a strap along
one side SO that they may be slipped
over the back of the hand. are very
popular and for some reasons are
more easily carried than the ordinary

HOTEL GOSSIP
Noted Engineer Here

c. S. VOORHEES,, a Brooklyn, N. Y,
capitalist and one of the most widely
known civil engineers in the United
States, being one of j. Pierpont Nor
gan's chief advisers in this capacity,
is in California and will spend the
winter in Investigating property lying
sixteen miles east of San Diego bought
by eastern capital several years ago.
Mr.. Voorhies states that this land has
lain idle ever since it was purchased
and that the owners now believe that
it is time for it's development and are
only waiting for his report of inves-
tigation.
In company with his family Mr..
VoorhieS has spent the past few days
in Los Angeles sightseeing. They will
go to Riverside today, where they will
remain this winter while he is carrying
out his investigation.
A trip was made to the Catalina ISL
ands by them on Monday and they ex-
perienced very rough voyage on ac-
count of the high winds. They state
that only ninety-five of the one hun
dred passengers were seasick. The
waves dashed forty or fifty feet high
and two or three times turned the ves-
sci quarter of the way around. With
the exception of a few bruises from
being tossed around they report no in
juries.
Mr.. Voorhies is very favorably i'm
pressed with Los Angeles and stated
last night that he believed that there
is great chance for future growth,
and that there is an immense opportu-
nifty for the eastern man to come here
and invest his money profitably. He
stated that he might use his influence
in getting eastern capitalists to in
vest their money in amusement
schemes on large scale at the differ
ent beaches, such as are built at Coney
Island.
He enjoys an enviable reputation as
builder of apparatus for amusement
purposes. The first loop the loop"
was designed by him and built under
his supervision at Revere beach. This
construction was made of wood and
afterwards he constructed one of steel
at Coney Island. He designed and built
the first scenic railway and the first
chute the chutes." The steeplechase
at Coney Island was built after his
plans and under his supervision. He
was retained as engineer and SUPER
visor of construction in 1892 of the first
trolley line that was built in Brook
lyn. He has made the plans for and
laid out more race tracks than any
other man in the United States, and
was the overseer of the rebuilding
of the Sheepshead bay and Brighton
beach race tracks.
