CALL FOR JuslLAT,oN.
President Jordan Asks Farmers &
Have Bio "Hurrah,, on Fourth. n

President Jordan Asks Farmers to
Have Big "Hurrah'' on Fourth. &
President Harvie Jordan of the
Southern Cotton Association has de.
cided that the farmers in all Of the
cotton-growing counties should meet
in their respective communities on
July 4th, have barbecues, speaking
and make the day one Of general re-
joicing this year On account of the
splendid work accomplished by the
farmers in reducing the cotton acre.
age for 1905. .fs.s
President Jordan's call, in part, is,
as follows:
Every report issued on the cotton
acreage Of 1905, including the United
States government report Of June Cd.
indicates beyond all question Of doubt
that the cotton acreage for this year:
has been materially reduced by the
farmers, thereby making another alb;
normally large crop with extremely
low prices an impossibility. Southern
cotton growers are to be highly COM
mended for thus standing so Loyalty
by their pledges and promises, which
will save the south from financial
ruin and disaster. The farmers also
held their cotton from the markets
during a most depressing period In
January and February, thereby em-
phasizing their ability to protect their
interests from the devastating infiu-
ences of speculation.
'The Declaration Of American In,s
dependence from the yoke Of foreign
domination was signed on July A.. 1776.
I think that fitting day for southern
cotton growers to assemble together
and declare their freedom and inde-
pendence from foreign combinations,
which in the past have dictated the
price of the great money staple crop
Of the south. l therefore issue this {
call, earnestly asking that the cotton
growers, all over the south meet on
Tuesday, July 4, 1905, either In their
local beats, townships, militia districts
Or at their county seats, and have bar,
becues or basket dinners, speeches
and make of the day one Of general
rejoicing. I trust also that strong
resolutions will be passed at these
meetings emphasizing loyalty and pa
riotism TO each other and agreeing
hat no cotton shall be sold during 4
he balance of the present year for
ess than 1e cents per pound" IL

Augusta Man Files Suit.

Suit has been filed in the United
States circuit court at Charleston on
behalf of H. H. Cummings Of Augusta,
Ca, asking that the Southern be re-
strained from operating the South Car
eliza & Georgia road, and that a re-
ceiVer for the latter property be ap-
pointed and the road sold at public
auction. The suit is based upon al
legged conflict Of the Southern rail
ways operation of the South Carolina
and Georgia with the antitrust laws
OF the United States, it being held
that the operation of the road is il
restraint Of trade. The case will be
heard before Judge Pritchard, sitting
at Asheville on June 26.

News Notes From Anderson.

At meeting of the county fair as
sociation at Anderson plans were
made to make the fair in October
one of much Importance in the uppe-
part of the state. The races will pe
the chief attraction, and they expe..
to get quite number of fast horses,
and the riding and driving will be
Chief feature. -,
The question of voting out the dis
pensary in the county is creating some
interest. According to statement
made by the city clerk, it sho VS.
that more than $4,000 is received
from this source into the city treas
ury, and if voted out it means an in
crease Of from four to FIVE and one.
half mills in taxes.
This is likely to be the main issue
of the question, not whisky or no
whishy-but revenue Or no revenna.
Although the election has taken place
at Pickens and was overwhelming.J
in favor of the dispersary being closed
it remains open, owing to a failure os
sending the returns to the state Of
ficials and the state Board has nayer
received copy Of the result.
