have gone out recently. The
facts of the case seem to be
that some days ago Mr. Isaac
A Keels, proprietor of the Cen.

eruption, which was thought by
some to be smallpox or chicken
pox. Mr. Keels suffered slight
discomfort at any time from the
disorder and for several days

Naturally the officials, and in

It goes without saying that
the old board of directors was
reelected ,as follows: D c Scott,

The Bank of Kingstree stands
for progress, and the manage.
ment is to be congratulated on
the financial policy it has al-
ways pursued, which is liberal
without a suspicion of "frenzied
finance" and conservative
without being hide.bouud. We
look for another year of even
greater prosperity under the
present management, whose aim

COTTON GROWERS MEET
IN NEW ORLEANS AND DISCUSS PRE-.
VAlllNG CONDITIONS.
Unanimous Vote to Reduce Acreage
and Curtail the Use Of Commercial
Fertilizers.

New Orleans, La. January "a:
BY unanimous vote at the
close of the first session today
the Southern Interstate Cotton
Convention, by general agree
ment the largest and mRstrepre.
sentative that has gathe(ed in
the South, declared that feduc-
tion of acreage and commercial
fertilizers is the paramount ques-
tion to be considered at the Con.
vention, and it must be settled
before any other business is lin.
dertaken. Eleven hundred and
thirty-tive delegates, represent
ing the thirteen cotton growing
States and Territories, had
registered when the Convention
was called to order. Even that
number did not represent the
full strength of the Convention.
The following general propo-
sitions were agreed on:
"First. We must tie-up and
take care of the surplus of this
crop and remove it from the
markets of the country until
next fall, and hold the balance
of the crop absolutely in our
possession until the price ad.
vances to normal conditions.
"Second. We must reduc. the
cotton acreage and use of COM
mercial fertilizers under cotton
at least 25 per cent under that
of 1904.
"Third. We must arrange Tor
a general system of bonded ware
houses under local control Of
the people throughout the
South.
Fourth. We must at once pro-
ceed to organize the producers
of the South in every cotton
growing county on a business
basis to carry into operation a
permanent system of relief and
protection for the future"
Reduction Of acreage and
commercial fertilizers being OF
paramount importance we rec.
ommend it to be made the first
order of business and be settled
before other business is under.
taken," was the conclusion OF
the committees report, which
was unanimously adopted.

more demand for stock in these mutual water companies and many who have bought are uncertain wllat course to pursue with regard to the future.
 It is therefore clear that satisfactory progress cannot be made hereafter on present lines. The California Develop ment Company has clearly undertaken to do too much and to look after too many details, with the result of ilksonIe delays in some cases, and in others misunderstanding and dissatisfaction for which, no doubt, they are blameless. However, the present management Of the California Development Company is awake to the trouble and it's remedy and we confidently expect the gordian knot that has bound the Valley for some time will be quickly cut, and that a very marked impulse to both business and immigration will speedily follow.
 If it could be arranged that the varia ous Imperial water companies would relieve the California Development Company of the construction of their distributing ditch system, and would put them in themselves, this would terminate q prolific source of coma plaint. And if the assets of the ImA perial water companies were returned to them, it would make it to the inter- est of every stockholder fo have the notes ana mortgages given for Imperial water company stock paid. Then as an Imperial water company sold its stock, or collected for that already sold, the money would be expended in the con- struction of it's distributing system, The stockholders in the water compan- ies would then have an interest in the operation, and it could be clearly shown that tie further sale of stock in theircon- pany would be to their interest. Thus the development of the Imperial Valley could proceed along rational lines, the Imperial water companies would De- come mutual water companies in fact as we'll as Tn name, they would have a responsibility to their stockholders and could take part in the upbuilding of the Imperial Valley. The California Development Company freed of the necessity of busying itself with such bewldering mass of deGails and with it's work confined to the one thing of com pleting it's diversion works, could soon master them and the development of the imperial Valley proceed on perma- nent lines and on basis of proven values that are bound to increase rapid- ly as passing time proves our immunity from further difficulties,
