D. ]. SULLY TO
THE PLANTERS
TELLS THEM COTTON WILL GO HIGHER
Says the Southern Cotton Growers AssO'
citation Has Done Great Work
Predicts II Cent Cotton.

New York, Sept. lid. j. Sui
ly has issued the following ad-
dress to the cotton planters of
the south:
1t rests with you to decide the
price at which the present crop
of cotton is to be sold. You have
shown your ability to combat the
combined influence of the largest
crop Of cotton ever raised and the
united attacks of bearish specula-
(tions in all the future markets of
the world. If you can get ten
cents for a crop of nearly four
teen million bales, you certainly
can get the worth of the crop that
is many million bales less. The
crop of last year will have moved
to market by today, with the ex-
ception of a few thousand bales.
There is no vast unmarketed sur
plus from the old crop to pound
down the prices which you will
get for the yield of 1905-06.
Last years crop, according to the
returns of the ginners to the cen
/ sus bureau, was 1868, 900 bales.
More than 13,600,000 bales have
already been sold by you. With
the mills engaged ahead for SIX
months, and in some cases a year;
the surplus is too scanty to per-
NIT curtailment to any extent.
They must ill their contracts,
and the only way they can fill
their contracts is by buying the
raw material from you. Don't be
disturbed by raids in the future
market; paper contracts can be
sold to an unlimited extent, but
they cannot be filled unless you
are willing to part with your hold
ings. Present crop prospects
and the great short interest
among the spinners Of the world
do not warrant cheap cotton, and
if you stand firm you will be
able to get fair and profitable
reward for your toll.
The minimum price of II cents
for cotton, as fixed by the South
ern Cotton Association at Ashe-
vile, N. G., is unquestionabIy
warranted by the conditions ex-
isting today, and the Southern
Cotton Association will soon see
the wisdom of increasing to Il
cents in a reasonable time, and
much higher than - cents as the
season progresses. Never was
there a time that the demands ol
the world for cotton were as great
as they are at the present time.
Never we're conditions so favor
able for a maximum consump-
tion as is progressing now. The
mills of the world are consuming
over /, 100000 bales of cotton per
month, equaling fully So, 100000
bales of cotton per year. The de-
mand for their goods is something
marvellous. The price of the sta.
pie has been heretofore entirely
inadequate to the amount of labor
that has been put into the produc.
ton thereof by the planter.
Eleven cents for cotton is less in
proportion to the benefits that
the planter should receive than
other commodity produced by the
farmer. In 1903 wool sold on the
sleeps back for Z cent? pound,
in 1905, this year it sold for 282
cents a pound on the sleeps
back, showing an increase IN two
years of 400 per cent.
The planters of the South are
indeed to be congratulated upon
tFeir wisdom in forestaIling the
bountiful results that must come
to them this coming cotton sea

THE YELLOW
FEVER SITUATION.

There is still no serious alarm
in Mississippi over the yellow fe-
yer situation. No new cases were
reported in the State yesterday.
In New Orleans the official re-
port of yesterday was as follows:
New cases 43; total cases to date
2, 2,370; deaths 8; total deaths to
date 319; new foci 70; cases un-
der treatment 314; cases discharg-
ed /, 1871.
At Tallulah, La, there is great
distress, new cases occurring SO
fast that the physicians cannot
keep up with them. TaIlulah is
about 18 miles west of Vlcksburg.
Altogether, the situation is still
encouraging.

The Peripatetics.

This organization of some of
our city's most intellectual and
brilliant club women met with
one of its own, Mrs. j. FL. Red

Indian meeting and before the in
teresting program was opened the
hostess presented a pipe OF
peace, with modern accessories
Of gilt and ribbon) to each guest,
which, as "a pipe" always does,
placed each recipient en- rapport
with association and environment.
Mrs. Agnes Chrisman Smith,
who has been made an honorary
member of the club during her
visit here this summer, gave a
most interesting paper on The
Indian in Literature, Mrs. Will
durr Willing, one which showed
knowledge and research Of facts
relative to Prominent American
Composers; Mrs. Henry Green
wood brought a little breeze from
aboriginal forests in her beauti-
full rendition of "Rustlings Of
Spring. Mrs. A. g. McNair
read HiaWatha's Woolng7 and
Mrs. Brown gave the immortal

able way Indian punch was
served.

CONGRESSMAN WILLIAMS ON QUARAN.
TINE MATTERS.

In response to a letter from the
Jackson Evening News request
ing his views as to how far the q.
S. Government should take charge
of and enforce quarantine regula-
tions, Congressman John Sharp
Williams, the Democratic leader
of the House, makes the following
reply, under date of September 4:
Il have long been of the opin-
ion that the Federal government,
through the marine hospital and
national health service, ought to
be authorized to take charge of
quarantine affairs, in so far as the
foreign and Interstate commerce
clause of the constitution gives
power to congress to enact laws
upon that subject. In the exer-
else of the power delegated to the
federal government, the govern
ment has and ought to exercise
the authority of preventing the in
PRODUCTION of contagious and in
fectious diseases into the United
States. 1t is equally plain that,
under the same clause of the con-
stitution, the power exists to pre-
vent the trans mission of conta-
gious or infe ctious disease from
one State to another. | woulc
not be willing to surrender the
reserved rights of the State to ex
crcise its police power in prevent
ing the spread of disease from one
point to another within the State
Even if, as a national legislator
l could entertain desire of that
sort, | could not, under my oath
under the constitution, as a ma
tional legislator, vote for the stat
utory expression of that desire.
No one State can handle the great
question of quarantine in all
of its aspects-intra State, inter
State and foreign-sa satisfactorily,
either to itself or to the balance
of the union; the federal govern
ment is pointed out by the consti-
tuition as the agency for that pur.
pose, in so far as the inter- State
and foreign aspects of the subject
are concerned. In considering
this, as in considering most ques-
tions, an absolutely strict obserV-
ance Of the constitution is not on
ly obligatory upon the conscience,
but is advisable, as a matter OF
policy. A strict constructionist
insists upon two things; first that
the general government shall not
. usurp the reserved rights of the
States; secondly, that the States
shall not assume to interfere with
the delegated powers of the federal
government. With regard tc
quarantine, the delegated powers
of the federal government apply
to the regulation Of State
and Of foreign commerce, wher
either involves the possibility oi
the introduction or transmission
from State to State of disease.
The reserved rights of the States
consist in the police power of the
States to control matters of santa.
tion entirely within its own limits
and not affecting other States q
power not delegated and therefore
reserved. +"
Mr.. Williams views are sound
and sensible, and this years expe-
rience proves that the national
government should be given full
control of all foreign and inter
State quarantine regulations.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
SEVERE BREAK UNDER BEAR PRES
 SURE AND LIQUIDATION.
Reports That Frost in Cotton Belt Had Caused No Material Damage Made Themselves Felt on New
 York Exehange.

New York. Oct. 12.--The cotton market had severe break today under bear pres syre and Liquidation arising from reports that frost. had caused no material dam age The close was well from the low est but stiil shows a net loss of 11ql5 points. Sales We're 30o.oo0 bales. The opening was steady at an advance of one point to a decline of three points. or about in line with cables. Reports of frosts in the northeastern and central belts attracted some wire and commission house support. but local professionals were very bearfsh denials that temperatures had been low enough to actually kill the plant over any important area and there was active selling. which was further en- couraged by larget estimates for tomor- rows receipts at Houston and bearish private estimate of the crop.
 After deciining about 13615 points below last nights figures. there was a rally of ing the late forecast calling for warmer and generally fair weather in the South to- morrow. the list broke again and in the early afternoon showed a net loss of 21 Q 22 points.
 There was naturally good deal of cov- ering at the declines and In the late trad ing the market was fairly steady on re- ports of steady Southern spot markets and large exports.
 Receipts at the ports today were 447Is bales. against 40.755 last week and 43121 last year. For the week. estimated. 35e,- 600 bales. against 34s744 last week and 3ss.5sb last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 4.o37 bales against 0.422 last year. and at Houston 10.s0o bales. against 0.ses last year.
