Farmers Monday.

Pursuant to a, call issued by
the chairman of the temporary
organization of cotton growers
association, which was effected
ION January IA, a meeting was
held in the court house on Mon
day for the purpose of forming a
permanent organization, with a
view to regulating the produc-
tion of cotton through curtail-
ing the acreage and the use OF
commercial fertilizers. The
meeting was well attended, al
most every part of the county
being represented.
When the meeting was called
to order by Chairman Harper a
report was read from Mr. r II
Kellehan, the delegate to the
Cotton Growers Association at
New Orleans. This report was
received very favorably by the
convention and thanks extend
ed to Mr. Kellehan for the full
report made.
It was moved and carried that
the temporary organization be
made permanent, with the same
officers, viz: Mr. Edwin Harper,
president, and Mr. W ENesmith.
secretary and treasurer.
After some discussion the tol-
lowing motion was unanimously
carried: That twenty-five per
cent reduction be made OF cot
ton acreage and of commercial
fertilizers as compared with last
year.
Itwas resolved that a perma-
nent association be formed and
Mr. J Davis Carter was elected
county chairman of the same.
The list of precinct delegates
named by MIR Carter appears IN
his card. The meeting was well
attended and very enthusiastic
and harmonious. Several ring
ing speeches were made and re-
ceived with applause. 1t is
earnestly hoped that some good
may result from what seems to
be a concerted effort on the part
of the farmers.

King was highly interested when NJ de

the original register Of the birth CT his ancestor
the Due d'Anjou. grandson of Louis XIV. who
became Philip of Spain. NJ. de Nolhnc also
showed Alfonso XIII the room wherein Louis

Alfonso XIII is very fond Of pictures and
statuary. He is extremely modern In his tastes,
and has special fancy for landscapes Of Corot
and of Troyon. One OF the pictures he most
admired in the Louvre was Courbets famous
herd OF deer. He preferred this to many OF the
pastels by La Tour and by other eighteenth
century artists. When walking at rapid pace
with NJ. Dujardin-Beau umetz, Under Minister of
Fine Arts. the King suddenly stopped before a
Spanish picture representing the Palace Of the
Escurial He pointed out to NJ. Dujardin- Beau
metz a door represented in the painting, and
said: 1T is curious custom that the Kings Of
Spain are only allowed TO pass through that
door upon two occasions-once during their life
time and once after their DEATH and then he
added with 4 smile: LAS for me. 1 have not
yet passed through that door even oncei" The
impression made by Alfonso XIII in Paris is
most satisfactory. His gay, volatile, Partisan
character and temperament caused agreeable
surprise, and his visit elected greater personal
enthusiasm than that Of any OF the numerous
crowned heads that have come to Paris in the
last fifteen years The Partisan populace did
not seem to realize that they We're accairnng a

Most OF the passengers were asleep but the
smell Of burning cotton soon alarmed them
Many rushed on deck and spread the alarm
among those who were sleeping.
The thickness of the fog and the apparent in

ship was or fire and asked the tugboat TO stand
by him in case the flames should suddenly gel
beyond control and make It necessary to get the
passengers off in a hurry. A hawser was passed
on board the McCaldin Brothers. but the Kansas
City proceeded to her pier under her own steam,
the tug feeling the way through the fog for her.

companies responded to reinforce the freboats.
The fire was out about o'clock. The COM

on the steamer including $50 bales of cotton.
The rest of the cargo consisted OF rosin. ties,
