Small Fertilizer Sales.

Small Fertilizer Sales.
Never in the history Of the fertili-
ger business has the outlook up to the
the trade. In many sections not a
present time been so discouraging ia
sack Of guano has either been sold OF
delivered, and it cannot now be doubt
ed that the reduction in the use OF
commercial fertilizers will be heavier
than the percentage in the reduction
OF acreage. There is good reason for
this. The price of cotton and cotton
seed are now below the cost of pro-
duction, while the price Of guano is as
high this season as when cotton sold
for 15 cents per pound and cotton seed
at $50 per ton a year ago.. The farm
ers naturally take the position that the
price of guano is abnormally high as
compared with the prices of those
products they use guano principally
in producing. Hence the light demand
and present indication points to re-
duction in cotton acreage of at least
% per cent while the curtailmert in
the use Of guano will drop from 33 to
90 per cent under that consumed in
1904.
Reduction in Acreage.
1t is currently reported in all of
the states that the farmers west Of
the Mississippi river, and especially
IN Texas, are preparing to plant as
largely in cotton this year as last. Re-
ports which reach me from reliable
sources stamp such information as abb
solutely false. The farmers in Texas
can be depended on with the same de-
gree OF certainty as those of any other
section. They have promised faith
fully to reduce the acreage heavily,
and they will do it, just as farmers in
all other cotton states and the two ter
ritories will do. People who are
against the action of the New Orleans
convention and against the success Of
the Southern Cotton Association are
endeavoring belittle the work of the
organization by sending out reports
that after the first feeling Of enthusi-
asm passed off the farmers are already
getting Indifferent. All of these re-
ports are false and misleading. The
work of organization is proceeding
rapidly everywhere and demands are
being made daily for supplies and lit
erature by the state and county Off
Gals of the association all over the
south. These supplies are now being
shipped out and in less than six
months the membership of the South
ern Cotton Association in it's various
state, county or parish and precinct
organizations will be fully 100000
earnest, active men, determined to
stand together In common cause and
for the common purpose of hereafter
protecting the marketing and pricing
of the south greatest crop.
The success of the association is al
ready assured and the bear specula-
tors are getting more uneasy every day
as they seey the Handwriting on the
wall, " foreshadowing their doom. /

declared that Henry c. Wilcox is entitled

holds the office must vacate Wilcox ran
on the Democratic ticket and Manchester
was one OF the Republican nominees.

dered In which wilcox took no part. The
law requires that ballots shall designate
whether a man is nominated for first,
second or third councilman
Judge Johnson writes the opinion OF the
court in the course OF which he says: "A
ruinber OF cases have been cited by the
respondents bearing on the question OF
the intent OF the voter. The intent OF the
voter is material provided such intent is
expressed conformably 20 the law. Not
every expression OF the intent Of the
voter. however, can be given effect. He
must comply with the imperative re-

STARR
ALLEGES
DECEIT

The case OF Charles d. Starr against
William w. Reynolds was submitted TO
the appellate division of the supreme
court today on defendants demurrer.
This Ia an action OF deceit and alleges
that the defendant induced the plaintiff
10 enter into a partnership agreement dat
ed May leth A. d. 1904. upon the false and
fraudulent statement relied upon by the
ulaintiff that the defendant was the own
err OF shares in the capital stock OF the
Centredale Worstcd mills. and that he
would receive a dividend from stock
on April 18th or 18th, 1904 and would then
contribute his $50 10 the partnership
found, for which he gave his note paya-
BILE 81 days after date. And IL is further
alleged that the defendant owned no
ond count the defendant is accused Of
having falsely represented himself as 81
years OF age.
Defendant demurrs 10 the two counts
OF the declaration. alleging that the first
count does not show in what the alleged
damage consisted or how the plaintiff has
sustained any damage by reason OF said
alleged misrepresentation, that II any
damage has been sustined II grew out
OF the failure OF the defendant TO pay
said note, and not out OF the alleged
false representatio and that the plain
tiff does not set forth a legal cause OF
action That 1 fany damage has been
sustlned by the plaintiff IL grew out OF
contract made with an infant under
legal guardianship that II does not appear
that defendant received ny benefit from
the contract.

ENGINEER INJURED AT
EDDY STREET COAL YARDS

Yesterday afternoon there was ser
ious accident at the Eddy street yards
OF the Eastern Coal company that lacked
but fittle Of being fatal. II appears that
the accident was due 10 the Inability of
one of the engineers hired in the recent
trouble 20 manage tho electrical engine
which hoists coal from the barges,
Late In the afternoon Walter Eaton
who had been at work hosting the coal
turned on the power To hoist n bucket OF
coal from the barge 20 tho pocket a dis
tance W about 10 feet Not having the
experience OF one Of the reyulnr men he

then rushed up 20 the arm from which
the tackle is suspended and pulled the

That the man was not crushed with tho

miraculous. He was rescued by his COM

WHY MEENEY
WAS TOLD
TO Leave

In an interview today Gen. Charles X.
Brayton stated his version OF the inter
view with the labor man. Mr.. Meeney. an
account OF which appeared in last even
ings issue OF The News An effort was
made TO see Gen Brayton yesterday In re-
gard 20 the matter, but he had left tho
state house. He gives a very different
complexion TO the interview, and said
that he was impelled 20 order Mr.. Meeney
out because he was attempting 10 put
words In his mouth he never uttered.
The general said he has always been
friendly to the organized labor movement
and takes a lively interest in its progress.
Moreover he has given IL whatever assist
ance he was able to render.
Yesterday Mnney came In and prac-
tically asserted that the shirts are turned
out by convicts a Cranston for about ~
cents a dozen. and though that sounded
like a pretty big story I did not combat
him until Mr. George Smith OF the state
board OF charities and corrections came
I'm and said that though he could not
quote the exact figures he understood
that the shirts cost about three cents
each 20 make.
II mentioned that fact 20 Meeney and
called attention 90 the fact. which'4=- well
established that prisoners must have
some employment or they will go crazy.
when 7 asked him that n the con-

lowest possible amount r. not being bene-

PARRY SPIES
DISCOVERED
IN UNIONS

When the members OF the holstlng en-

an announcement made that created
feeling OF the most profound kind for IL
vas told them that among their mum
bers posing as a staunch union man was
an emissary of the Parry organization
here In the interest OF the coal industry
which was at present conducting the
fight against them.
For a moment when the news was
made known there was entire silence
then every body wanted TO talk al once
and 20 find out who the man was and
how ~ become known. Mr.. Lyon, the
international officer who has had charge
Of the difficulty here since the trouble
began with the Eastern Coal company
announced 10 the assemblage that q com
munjcation had been sent from Boston
70 the effect that three men were here
spying into the workings and strength OF
the three unions and the letter gave stieh
vivid description OF the men that two
OF them have already been detected ana
pointed out 10 every member OF the two
unions with in structions 10 be very cool
and distant
Mr.. Ryan has not been able 10 locate
the man who IL I'm. the coal handlers or

and Is In good standing with that local
IL the book he shows is true. The man
the engineers local OF that place rs not
in good standing but has been suspended
from the local and hence has grudge
against organized labor.
In speaking OF the condition OF the men
who are locked out as shown by the
meeting last evening he said that all OF
them had gone 10 work at other places
az better wages and that this week they
would receive the first installment OF the
defense fund this week. The applications
had been filled out and sent 20 head
quarters He said that the men were
sure 10 be far better off and could carry
on the fight az long as desired since
there was a $4,000 fund 10 draw from.
OF the men who had been hired 20 take
their places at the yards two were taken
into the union last evening and the others
were under investigation and would very
likely be taken in at the next meeting.
