The u. S. Court adjourned yes

here on the fourth Monday in May,
the 22nd.
Before adjourning John McKin-
ney, accused of robbing the Pol
lock postofite, plead guilty to the
charge, saying that he and his
uncle, A. E. Donaldson, had plan
ned and executed the affair by
themselves, also saying that w. B.
Adams and w. r. King, the other
accused, had nothing to do with
the robbery. The Judge was about
to pronounce sentence on McKin-
ney when District Attorney NJ. G.
ElstneE asked that sentence be
postponed until the court meets in
Shreveport the End Monday in
February as the prisoners would
be needed as witnesses against the
others. The Judge agreed to leave

The Great Cotton Convention.

Inc Gre8C COttOn convention.
The cotton convention which as
sempled in the city of New Orleans
this week and sat for three days,
Oath, 25th and 18th, was perhaps
the largest gathering ever held
about this important industry of
the South. Fully 5000 delegates,
farmers, merchants and bankers,
we're present, and many important
measures wers discussed, and it is
thought much good will result from
their deliberations.
A wide range was covered in the
discussions, but it is at this time
impossible to comprehend and
make intelligent comment upon
their significance and utility. The
results as thus far summarized may
be stated to be an agreement to re-
duce the cotton acreage, decrease
the use OF fertilizers, hold present
chop for higher prices, and organ
ize the farmers SO rs to protect the
vital interests at stake.
The convention was deluged with
food of recommendations, such
as the insidious circular letter of
Cotton Spectator Theodore III.
Price, of New York, suggesting
that the planters stimulate con-
sumption by selling their cotton to
spinners at present low prices, thus
giving away tLis years surplus,
which he says is the "gift of God''
to the planter, land costs him moth
ing |" Then we have Capt. Rich
mond P. Hobson, the hero of the
Merrimac, who declares the Russo
Japanese war to be the precursor
of a worlds war, which would de-
stroy the market for cotton alto
gether, and the only hope to pre-
vent such war is a big U. S. navy,
and all Democrats are urged to en-
dorse the demand for increased
naval appropriations
Aside from all the rhaff, howev-
er, we see silver lining to the
present dark cloud of distress. and
We believe our people will again
soon emerge into the daylight and
sunshine of prosperity. Ours is a
country of wonderful recuperative
powers, and our people are brave
enough and intelligent enough to
meet and overcome any difficulty
that confronts them,

Reciprocal Demarrage.

Reciprocal Demurrage.
The question of railroad demur-
rage has been given good deal of
attention in these columns, and on
two or three occasions during the
late State campaign We wrote arti-
cles on the subject. Also Repre-
sentative s. r. Lee made it an
issue during his canvass, but his
efforts before the Legislature seem
to have amounted to very little
thus far, as nothing has come out
of it.
Shippers and receivers have long
desired something in the shape of
reciprocal demurrage on the part
of the railroads, but the State
seems to be unable to do anything
in that line, owing to the strong
lobby influences the railroads have
always ready to thwart all efforts
in this direction. OF late, howev-
er, there seems to be better
chance for success in getting some
law on the subject, and it is prob
able that the railroads will be re-
quired to do something as an Off
set to the demurrage they enforce
against shippers and receivers.
A proposition is now before
Congress. backed by the National
League of Commission Merchants.
to even up with the railroads by
securing the passage of a ma
tional law compelling reciprocal
demurrage. Such a law will be of
far greater benefit than if it was
passed by any of the States.
The railroads charge and collect
q penalty, or demurrage, on cars
that are held by receivers for a
Time longer than the time specified
by the railroad companies, which
is usually ample for releasing them
under ordinary circumstances. The
railroads do not make demurrage
charges as a source of revenue, but
rather as an inducement to receiv-
ers to release cars promptly.
The shippers and receivers, rep
resented by the organization mem
toned have decided that it is a
poor rule that won't work both
ways. SO they want the railroads
penalized when cars are not fur
inshed promptly upon requisition
or are delayed in transit.
Reciprocal demurrage. in some
States is already in effect by mu-
tual agreement or by State law;
the railroads paying demurrage on
cars that are not supplied within
four days or not moved within the
same time, or do not move faster
than fifty miles a day while in
transit. The commission men also
propose provision compelling
the railroads to collect demurrage
when due them, which is now of
course optional with the railroads,
thus affecting the trust companies
who hold thousands of cars out of
circulation at time.
It is claimed by its promoters
that the plan will benefit the rail-
roads as we'll as their patrons, but
the railroad companies may take
different view of it. and if they do
a lively contest may be anticipated.
