 the Cotton Association -'- it,
 Officials. .. .s+. :.

Washington, Aug. 1.-President Jor- dan and Secretary Cheatham or the Southern Cotton Association today is- sued a statement addressed to the members of the association calling at tention to the recent disclosures in the cotton statistical work in the Depart ment of Agriculture, declaring that eff forts are being made to divert all at tentton from the deficiencies" of the system 1t self ito tthe thieving propen- sities of a few unworthy ofncials ana setting forth demands to be made to Congress to reform conditions. The statement follows
 ITO the members of the Southern Cotton Associations:
 "rbe members of the association have been apprised through the public press from day to day of the work done by the officers of the association at Washington. As result of their charges the unreliability of the reports of the Department of Agriculture re- lating to the cotton crop has been fully disclosed and the maladministra- ticn of that department under its pres ent head has been made evident.
 "Following these exposures efforts are now being made to divert public attention from the main issue, which Is the Imperfections of the department toward an attempted prosecution of anybody who can be found as scape- goat. Their punishment, even if 1t is sccomplished, Is of secondary import annce as compared with the reforma- tion of the system which has made their performances possible and the purpose of this address is to secure The co-operation of the members of this association in influencing in every le- 9itimate way reformation of the sys- fem and n reorganization of the de- partment.
 "The membership of this asociation, numbering 1.000,000, include the pro- ducers of the most valuable product of American agriculture. The cotton crop of the United States and its by-pro- ducts Is worth between $500, ,000.000 and s70O, ,o00, 900 annually. It furnishes two-thirds of our annual trade bal ance and In It's production and manu- facture employs many millian indi- v,6uals No other product of the United States is of greater or Of equal importance.
 Peculiar Susceptibility.
 The practical monopoly of cotton ybich America enjoys and the narrow haIances which have existed for years between sufficiency and scarcity in the worItrs cotton supply render the cot ton market peculiarly and acutely susceptible to the reports of the de- nartment of agriculture regarding the condition and prospects of the cotton crop. Under the present circumstances A great duty devolves upon the mem hers of the association. We are less concerned with what has been done by A few individuals and the consequences thereof. regrettable as they may ha.

Some seasonahIe Advice.

1t may be piece of superfluous ad-
vice to urge people at this season of
the year to lay in a supply of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
sure to be needed before winter is
over, and much more prompt and sat
isfactory results are obtained when
taken as soon as cold is contracted
and before it has become settled in
the system, which can only be done
by keeping the remedy at hand. This
remedy is so widely known and SO al
together good that no one should hes.
itate about buying 1t in preference 10
any other. 1t is for sale by Bowers &
Comstock, druggists.
