COTTON GROWERS IN SESSION
Formulate Plans for Future Work.
Demand the Establishment of q
State Agricultural Bureau.

Jackson, Miss. Noy. 24.-The cotton
association adjourned at noon to-day.
Hon. S, A. Witherspoon, OF Meridian,
who is n Of the three members of the
association executive committee, made
quite an interesting speech, in which he
outlined the work of the association for
another year, and also told of his plan
for the organization of a gigantic sys-
TEN of warehouses, where farmers may
store their cotton and draw three
fourths OF the value at the same time ii
they want it. This warehouse com
pany is to have a capital Of $1,000, 600,
and stockholders may pay in cash or
cotton, as suits their convenience.
Gov. Vardaman addressed the associa-
ton at some length, telling OF the great
work that had been accomplished, and
expressing himself as heartily in accord
with its principles,
After saying what he had to say to
the farmers, the Governor turned his at
tentioH to the Western visitors and en-
~tertained them for several minutes. He
reviewed the conditions in the South and
told them that if they lived here they
would be Southerners also in a mighty
short while, so far as the demand for
white supremacy was concerned. Among
other interesting statements was one 10
the effect that lie would be perfectly
willing to give up five of the eight Con
gressmen from Mississippi in exchange
for the repesl OF the fifteenth amend
ment. and he declared that if he ever
occupied a position in which he had a
voice in such matters he would make
that proposition in good faith. He would
rather have the amendment repealed
than to have sixteen Congressman and
four Senators from the State of Missis'
sippi. However, said the Governor,
| whether that amendment Is ever re-
pealed or not, the white people OF the
State OF Mississippi are going to con
tinue to rule. The speech was well re,
ceiyed by the visitors, and at the con,
clusion ever one present crowded about
| the Governor to shake his hand and con
graduate him.

of our people, in. maintaining a reason
able price in the face OF the largest crop

abuses in the Agricultural Department
at Washington, which were the cause Of
the loss OF millions OF dollars to the cot
ton r~aisers, and in showing the wonder
full possibilities Of a united industry;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That We are entitled to

A NEBRASKA FARCE
 OFFICIALLY NOTICED
The Removal by the President of a
 United States District Attorney.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 25.-The Omaha Bee this morning announced that IT, wing F. Baxter has been summarily re- moved from the office of United States district attorney for this district by or der of the president. MT. Baxter, how eyer, made public a letter which he sent on December 21, to the attor- ney general in reply to one asking for his resignation.
 In his reply, MT. Baxter said: Hay ing faithfully and honestly performed the duties of the office to which I was appointed in April 1904, for a four year term and being in no way responsible for the sentence imposed in the Rich ards and Comstock case, out of which the request for my resignation has come, decline to resign
 The removal of Mir Baxter is one of the results of the prosecutions started by the government. three years ago of Nebraska cattlemen for illegally fenc- ing the public domain. Bartlett Rich ards and w. F. Comstock, two of the wealthiest cattlemen in the state, were indicted on the charge of unlawfully fencing about 22.OOO acres of public land. They recently entered a plea of guilty and were fined $500 each by Judge w. H. Munger, and sentenced to six hours in the custody of a United States marshal, who deputiZed the at torney for the prisoners to carry out the latter part of the sentence, and the time is said to have been spent at an Omaha club. The president is said to have been dissatisfied with the results of the prosecution and a week before last Marshal Matthews was removed and last week the resignation of Dis trict Attorney Baxter was asked for.
