NIP AND TUCK.
DisDuted Points i'm For Saloons" Pc
titiOn to be Referred to Board OF
Aldermen at September Meet
ing.

The final result of the For Saloons
petition is tied up till the meeting OF
the Board of Aldermen on the first
Friday in September.
This is the effect of the decision
made by the committee of the board
now examining the petition, which is
that it will purge the registration
books, revise the list and submit the
result to the board in September, ana
that tL\5e who desire their names to
come OH or go on the For Saloons"
petition may appear in person to ask
this.
The committee reached this decisioa
after a conference with City Attorney
Snow yesterday, when the matter was
taken up ana the determination reached
to have nothing to do with new names.
or new lists, or names to come off.
No official statement of the standing
of the petition has been made, bur
from all that can be learned, there
are in the neighborhood of 500 names
left on the petition For Saloons
which was exploited by it's hackers as
having between $50 and 1000 names,
the ''swinkage" having been very
large. AS TO the registration books,
it is understood that about 200 names
are to come off, and that this will leave
a registered vote of from 1900 to
1900 These figures indicate that it
will be a case of nip and tuck if the
petition For Saloons wins.
In regard to the determination
reached yesterday afternoon, the fol-
lowing official statement was given
out after the session by Alderman Ii.
w. Jackson, the chairman:
THE committee has decided to
purge the registration books, revise
the petitions, prepare the lists and
submit this report to the Board of AL
dermen at the next meeting, the first
Friday in September, upon the petition
as origir/lly presented to the board.
The committee will not consider add
ing names TO the petitions or permit
ting the withdrawal of the names Of
any who signed the petitions, but will
leave both these matters to the Board
of Aldermen. All persons who have
signed the petitions and desire TO have
their names stricken off, also those
who have not signed and desire to put
their names on the petition, may APP
pear in person before the Board of
Aldermen ut the September meeting
and make request to that effect.

Southern Cotton Association Will Fix
Price of Cotton.

President Harvie Jordan, of the
Southern Cotton Association, has is
sued a call to the various State SUBJ
associations OF meet in Asheville Sep
TENDER 6, the object of the convention
being to fix the price of the staple.
President Jordan says in his c1rcu-
cal calling the meeting:
The present plan of the foreign
spinners, it now appears, is to crush
the Southern Cotton Association and
its efforts at the opening of the fab
season and force the farmers to Sacri-
flee their cotton on a depressed mar
ket brought about by combination and
concert of action among the spinners
and bear" spectators. Every mag
Unable device known to human inge
nuity will be brought to bear to de-
press prices during the next four
months.
The Southern Cotton Association
will meet at Asheville, n. c., Septem-
Der 9Th, and at that time will fix Il
minimum price on the present crop
which will be fair and just to both the
producers and spinners, based upon
carefully prepared report on the con-
dition of the crop up to August 18th,
and the estimated percentage of yield,
as compared with 1904. When this
minimum price for spot cotton is fixed
by the representatives of the different
States on September 9th at AsheVille,
every producer of cotton in the South
will be called upon to stand by thu
action of the association and force the
consuming world to pay a fair price
for the STABLE. There will be no sur
plus of raw cotton from the crop of
1904. What is left over unconsumed
on September 1St will be only q small
reserve stock. The mills are now con,
Stunning 100000 bales per week and
the demand for cotton goods is enor-
nous at high prices. The farmers arc
In good financial shape to protect their
staple, and if money is needed South
ern bankers are amply able and quit
willing to finance the situation.
'sThe producers have just won not
able victory in the face of the largest
crop ever produced in this country ana
by concert of action forced prlce% up
from cents in January to 10 cents on
July Sd, encountering each day the
most intense opposition.
'"The present crop indicates short
Weld compared with 1904, while the
consumption of cotton will go forward
undated for the next eighteen months.
Present prices for spot cotton are not
high. They represent only q small
profit to the producers.
IF the fight must come 1T Will be
forced by the spinners and viii be met
by determined and effective opposition
on the part of the producers. The crop
of 1905 must not be sacrificed. Let
every man measure up to the highest
standard of Southern manhood and do
his full duty. The mills have got to
have our cotton, and if they want to
stop buying at present prices we can
stop selling and see whose corn Grip
and smok ehouses will last the longest.
On the eve of the crisis which threat
ems the South the Southern press is
earnestly called upon to publish this
article and comment upon the same
editorially The farmers all over the
South are rapidly organizing and the
association has no fear of the hnal
outcome in the struggle which lies just
ahead"
