the following resolutions:
/. That we heartily endorse the
proceedings Of the Southern Cot
ton Convention, held at New Or
leans, La, on the gard, 25th and
26th of January, 1905, and COM
mend the wisdom Of lis action to
the people Of Mississippi; and
that we congratulate the people on
the happy results of its work, In
that already the price Of cotton
has been raised from . cents to
w cents per pound, thus saving
to the people the magnificent in
crease Of $25, 600, 900, and we con-
fidently predict that the people of
the South will continue to stand
together in their great effort to
control the cotton crop, and that
such united effort will result in
forcing the price Of cotton to 10
cents per pound.
2. That the action Of the con-
vention ii recommending a reduc-s
tion of 25 per cent. in the acreage.
Of cotton and in the use of fertil-
izers, was wise, patriotic and bus
mess like, and the almost uniyeT-
sal response of the people, id so
far as they have acted, in signing
written pledges to comply with
said recommendations, gives the
best assurance that a small crop of
cotton will be made ID 1905, so
that the holding Of the surplus Of
the present crop will insure a
price of 10 cents q pound for both
the balance Of the present and all
