DO NOT LIST COTTON
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FROM
 STATE AUDITOR SOwELL,
Auditor Sowell Holds that Tax On 1903 Cotton, Now Held by Farm
 CTS Is Not
 Due.

The bear speculators of cotton can- not receive any aid from the tax laws of Alabama. This was decreed yester- day by State Auditor Sowell.
 The State Auditor will have every tax assessor in the State understand that he must not put down for taxation the cotton that Is being held by the farmers. This action will be an effec- tual weapon in the hands of the holders of cotton against the bear manipula- tors.
 Yesterday Auditor sowell received a letter from tax assessor of a county In the State where a great amount of cotton Is being held back from the market, asking If the crop of 1903 Is to be listed as assessable. It would have been an important disadvantage to the holders of old cotton If Auditor Sowell had decided that the staple Is not exempt.
 An investigation of the exemption statute of Alabama enacted by the last Legislature of Alabama was made by the Auditor yesterday. He concluded that no cotton in the hands of the pro- ducer is taxable. He will so instruct every assessor In the State.
 This decision of the State Auditor will not give any relief to the mer- chants or purchasers of cotton unless they participated in raising the staple. The cotton held by purchasers or middle men who are not the producers Is, however. exempt from taxation if the purchases are made for prompt shipment.
 To the merchants as such. therefore holding cotton in Alabama for d return Of good prices the exemption statue gives no relief. These holders are dis tinguished from the farmers themselves and thousands who are party to the plan to hold cotton in concert in defi- ance of the bears of Wall Street will have to pay tax on the staple.
 The statute exempting cotton from taxation exempts also all agricultural products In the hands of the farmers as we'll as pig iron. The law, in emu merating the exempt property in the State. includes among other things. "all cotton and agricultural products which were raised or grown during the pre- ceding year and which shall remain in the hands of the producer thereof"
 Another section of the same statute provides that "cotton and other agri- cultural products and pig iron shall be exempt from taxation in the hands of the producer or the hands of a pur- chaser. purchasing the same for prompt shipment. and pig iron shall be exempt twelve months after the exemption"
 There was for while some doubt In the mind of State Auditor Sowell as to whether the cotton of 1903 crop Is exempt from taxation If 1t is still held by the grower. 1t being certain that the 1904 crop now held by the producer Is exempt. The interpretation was finally made, however. that cotton raised dur ing the preceding year" mentioned In the law refers to the crop gathered in the fall preceding the October in which assessments are made. In this way, relief Is accorded the farmers who are holding 1903 cotton.
 The assessments for taxes for 1905 were made on October 1. 1904. and therefore. will not affect that of the 1903 cotton crop still in the hands of the farmers.

and cotton has been reduced to It's proper place as a crop in the rotation on Southern farms, that the farmers of the south will have occasion to be thankful that the boil .weevil came to compel them to adopt better system of farming
 Such utterances as the above was the cause of resolutions being adopted by the convention endorsing the meth ods of the Governments experts: thanking the Department of AgricuI- ture for what has been accomplished by 1t; asking the general Government to render further aid in continuing the fight against the boil weevil, and cre- ating the National Cotton Associa- tion." an organization comprising na- tional. State and county executive com mittees, thus establishing organic channels for reaching every farmer in the South. so that campaign of ed ucation" may be carried on by the De- partment of Agriculture. along scien- tihc lines.
 Let Us Cooperate.
 Let all our farmers cooperate in this noble endeavor. Let us have faith in the plans of the Governments scieu- tifio experts. These plans are based upon the facts of science; and this country, as well as all other great na- tions. owes its highest material achievements in civilization to scien- tiflc research, and to the application of scientific principles in the various industries of the land.
 The boil weevjl will reach Alabama within two or three years; possibly. sooner. Let us 0e ready to meet him. Let us prepare for war in time of peace"
 With all the lights before us, the way to prepare is to begin in time by having our lands in such an improved state of cultivation as will reduce the ravages of the pest to the minimum of its destruction. Then, again, should our State never be infested by the boil weevil, 1t is worth our while to labor for the improvement of our farming conditions. as suggested by the De- partment of Agriculture. The work in Alabama will be pushed, we hope to a happy conclusion.

the night when they gave their first ball and established a precedent that they have had to live up to for over half a century. Their fame has spread abroad and shares with the St. Cecilia ball of Charleston a distinction that no other social organization in the country can rival. New spirit is infused every year and while the older mem. bers whom we have known and loved for more years than a debutante can remember, remain in the society to add dignity and to give it the eclat that the younger organization can not achieve untilu they grow little older. Strangers of distinction and influence come to Mobile at this season. drawn by the fame of the Strikers and their pres ence adds to the enjoyment of the Mo bile guests. Debutantes tremble. as their predecessors have done for sixty-two years back. and stay until the last strains of Home Sweet Home" wondering how they could ever have been afraid. The older girls delight in the Strikers, and the married women rejoice, for those who dance are assur- ed belles, and for those who do not, why think of the marvellous gowns to be in spected! And the supper! That ap- peals to all ages and conditions, for there is no stint of birds or bottles at the Strikers ball.
 Tonight was a repetition with cer- tain differences of many a years pleas- ure. Many familiar faces were pres ent and many new and blooming ones. The costumes of the maskers were those of the French court in halcyon days and as handsome as any that ever lolled In the palace of the Sun King. Greens and electric lights were com bined in the decorations, the letters & I. S. in electricity illumining one end of the ballroom. The maskers en- tered at o'clock. and the first two dances were reserved for them. After that dancing became general and lasted until a late hour. The gentlemen serV- ing on the Reception Committee were: J. W. Whiting, J W. Gray, C. A Mohr, II. T. Toulmin, J. W. Cox, Harry Pn- lans, R. V. Taylor, D. R. Burgess. D. P. Bestor. R. H. Clarke. Rhett Goode, s. s. Rubira. Price Williams, F. O. Zadek, F. L. Ross.
 The marriage of Miss Leah Otten- stein and Mir. Herman Gutman took place at the brides home Sunday night, the parlors being filled with friends to witness the ceremony. MT. Max Graber was best man and Miss Cor nelia Ottenstein in white crepe de chine over WnlIS SlAh WitH plllh TOSSS, was the maid of honor. The brides gown was white crepe de chine with veil and orange blossoms and bouquet of bride roses. Mir. and Mrs, Gutman have gone to New York on their we'd ding trip.

Johnson Murder Case.

The murder of W. Travis Johnson last week Is still talked of in this city. The Idea of man being butchered in a club room directly over the principal street Of the city and in the heart of the business district, and then the mur- derer to escape Is something that does not appeal favorably to the Pensacola public. The officers are subjected to some adverse comments. The reward of $4o0 does not seem to have had the effect desired. for not a great deal of new information on the subject has been brought to light. It is thought that there will never be solution of the mystery, although it can be said that the police are now thoroughly be- stirred.
