Special Railroad Rates.
Railroads in the cotton belt of the
South have announced a rate of one
| fare for the round trip for the New
Orleans convention. This is the same
rate given last January when the
| farmers, merchants and bankers from
| Virginia to Oklahoma to the number
of over 5000 met at New Orleans to
/ organize the association. The coming
meeting is the first general convention
| to have been held since the original
meeting and indications point to even
a. larger attendance. President Jor-
dan states that he would like to see
| 5000 delegates at New Orleans and
in view of the remarkable and enthu-
Siastic co-operat ton of the cotton pro-
ducers during their eleven months of
organization, Mr.. Jordan's estimate
may not fall much short of the de-
isired number The New Orleans meet
| ing will be held under the auspices of
the New Orleans Progressive Union
and New Orleans Cotton Exchange
|who are defraying all expenses. Secre-
tary Henry Mayo. of the New Orleans
Progressive Union. announces that Odd
Fellows Hall has been selected as the
meeting place. This is one of the
largest halls in the city and is on Camp
street facing the square opposite the
City Hall, just five blocks from Canal
