orerative-ITnion. the American Soc1e-
tv of Equity and the Farmers Alliance
of North Carolina, are all working III
thorol,eh harmony with the Southern
Cotton association. All these strong
farmers organizations are committed
to minimum price of 1 cents, and are
urging the1 members to stand firm.
! would especially urge the county
officials of the Southern Cotton asso-
Cjation to do all in their power 10
leep this matter before their people,
and to call meetings and devise ways
and means by which you can keep
,.osted on this vital question. We are
faced with short crop, with an enoi-
nous demand on the part of the mills,
who are selling their cotton goods at
high prices, and there should be no
difficulty in advancing the price 10
II cents per pound, if the farmers
will only check the heavy movement
TO the market The time for action
has come. and if we would free our
selves from the oppression OF the
Bear SPECTATORS and hold the
ground we have already gained. We
must act and act now. We need have
10 fear but that we will succeed. LOOK
what we did with more than two biz
lion bales surplus. Raised the price
from 6 cents to more than 10 cents.
This being true, what ought we to do
with at least that much shortage III
the present crop? Now is the time
to show our patriotism and our ability
to manage our own affairs and to free
ourselves from the dictates of this
Gang of bloodsuckers, who have Sc
long and systematically robbed us
Of our hard earnings.
In conclusion. | wish to urge the
people to call meetings, organize the
s. G. A.. pass strong resolutions, stand
firm and the victory is ours. ! will
Gladly go anywhere can be OF service
tc the people in this great movement.
Yours for the upbuilding of the

THAT is WHAT PRESIDENT BUR-
NETT URGES UPON ARkAN-
SAS FARMERS.
Farmers Organization Pledged to II
Cent Cotton, and the Members
Urged to Stand Firm.

Chickalah, Sept. 23-President B.
H. Burnett, president Arkansas di-
vision, Southern Cotton association,
has issued the following letter:
To the People of Arkansas: During
the past two weeks the receipts OF
cotton at the ports have been enor-
nous, showing beyond all question OF
doubt that thousands of farmers are
marketing their cotton as rapidly as
it can be picked and ginned around
present prices It is absolutely nee
essary that the producers check the
heavy receipts, by holding the cotton
off the market We expect to advance
the price to II cents, as recommended
by the Southern Cotton association at
Asheville, N. c., on the 7th inst. To
do this, l recommend that there be
meetings called in all the townships
of the several counties of this state,
and pass resolutions to hold for the
Price agreed upon, as above stated.
and to take determined stand
against the present strong combina-
tions which have been formed to de-
feat us in our efforts to secure fair
prices for our products. The bearish
spectators in New York, and the
combined spinners of Europe and New
England. are moving heaven and
earth to cripple the Southern Cotton
association, and depress prices to
much lower levels Our farmers, with
the cooperation of our merchants and
bankers, are financially strong enough
at the present time to resist this in
vasion of their rights I am satisfied
that if the people will call meetings
and pass trong resolutions to stand
by the recommendations of the S. G.
A., and organize in each and everv
county, that we will soon check these
large receipts of cotton, at the ports,
and get much better prices, for there
can be no question about there being
a very short crop over the entire belt.

HEARD At THE EHS.

Gold chain purses and bags have
me out in a wealth of new FORMS
rom the tiniest round thing, just nj
IN tuck a few car fares in, to lmpos-
ing-looking bags with jeweled handles.
Some of what are apparently purses
ave in reality tiny powder boxes with
a wee puff deftly concealed lnslhe.
Rut these are made in single piece
of course. instead of the separate
links.
Smelling salt bottles OF the same
metal come to tuck into the bags Tiny
boxes for bonbons, the card cases ana
ncte tablets are among the rest OF
the little things that are sometlmes
found in on of those bags.
Dutch cellars are new and the most
becoming things in the world-to the
woman with round throat.
They've round little things and as
quaint and plain as anything could be'
buttoning around the throat. Some
of them are embroidered in blind
work. but most Of them have I touch
of hroderie Anglaise somewhere about
hem.
The new stiff collars are fascinat-
ing Some few of them are the turn
ever kinds. but mcst of them are the
straight kind, severe as to style. yet
not plain.
It's the last cry for parasols. Next
month sees the last of them, and the
linen ones are already discreetly drop
ping out of sight. The silk ones, that
match a costume or emphasize its eel
or suggestion, are still very much in
evidence.
And, by the way. some very good.
looking parasols are to be had for
almost a song in the shops just now.
Artificial f1owers-enoush to fresh

little, for everything that has any
hing to do with summer styles IS re-
duced. And it's mighty nice ID be
able to tide over into fall with the
aid of a few new flowers.
An occasional pair of white linen
pumps is given distinctive llfde
touch by tracery of embroidery or
the vamp. But-they're mighty halc
to keep clean. The ridges Of the EN-
broidery seem to have a magnetic at
traction for dust.

Tariff Bill for Islands Passes the
House
WITHOUT ANY AMENDMENTS
Was Considered in the House But Nc
Action Was Taken-Secretary Of
War Instructed to Return TO
States Battle Flags.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The house to.
day passed the Philippine tariff bill
practically as it came from the com
mittee and with but little discussion
There was no special opposition to the
bill, although several amendments
were offered from the democratic side
of the house, which was designed TO
put certain products on the free list
but they were voted down. An effort
to amend the bill to prohibit the i'm
portation of opium into the islands
except for medicinal purposes, also
failed.
Immediately after the Philippine
bill was disposed of the house took up
the river and harbor bill, but soon laid
1t aside and passed several unimport'
ant measures. One bill which passed
was authorizing the secretary of war
to return to the several states of the
union all union and confederate bat
tie flags.

Local Councils to Meet In Conven ntlon
Tonight to Prepare for
Quick Action.

It is a foregone conclusion now that
the Supreme Council OF the Royal Area
mum will have to reconvene and adopt
some measures to nllav the dssa tisfac-
tion existing in the order over the new
rate schedule OF life Insurance.
Subordinate councils all over the coun-
try are adopting resolutions deman nding
that the Grand Councils in their respec-
tive States insist that the Supreme Coun-
ell reconvene. The dissatisfaction is so
great that 1t now amounts to a rebellion
in the order.
From Wisconsin comes the report that
drastic measures viii be adopted by the
Arcanumltcs there to set aside the man
date OF the Supreme Council.
The Milwaukee Sentinel says that the
appointment OF receiver for the Royal
Arcanum instead OF the adoption OF the
new rate schedule as promulgated by
the supreme officers and council. Is a
step which Is being seriously consid-
cred by many Milwaukee members OF
the order and a number of the local
representatives are firm In their eelief
that this method offers the only legi-
innate solution OF the veNatlous prob
lem which has set the membership astsr
from one end OF the country to the
other.
May EnJoln Collector.
"A proposition to enjoin the Grand
Collector from collecting the assess
