First Convention of Growers AssOcia- tiOn ClOses-The Matter of Vice.
 President Peters's Resigna- ton Discussed.

Asheville, N. C., Sept s.-The first annual convention of the Southern Cotton Association closed tonight. The afternoon and night sessions were con- fined chiefly to the passing of various resolutions. chief of which was one looking to raise in membership dues from 25 cents to $1 a year. .,..
 An important feature of this after noon's session was the adoption of a motion that all members of thee eAsso- citation be urged to market their cot ton even at the minimum prices as slowly as possible, so as to distribute the sale of the staple over the entire year instead of marketing the crop in ninety days. as has been the custom.
 At touiehts session the next meeting place of the Associations executive committee, Hot Springs, Ark, was chosen.
 The matter of Vice President Pe- ters's resignation was considered to- nightsand although the discussion was conducted in secret session 1t is under stood that Mir. Peters will voluntarily resign" in q few days and his success sor will be named by President Jordan, in whose hands the question was left for adjustment.
 It was reported tonight that the Association will probably deliver its address to the American people tomor- row. It will deal principally with the existing conditions in the textile world.
 At the morning session the report of the Financial Committee was heard and adopted. The Committee recommended that general field agent and orga- nizer for the national as well as for the State organizations be appointed. whose chief duty it shall be to collect funds for the carrying out of the as sociation's aims and objects. To se- cure those funds a tax of cents on each bale of cotton raised by members of the Association will be levied. The report named E. B. Smith of Colum- bia, s. C., as the field agent. It was not adopted. however without some vigorous discussion. It was advocated Carolina, Hyatt nf South Carolina and Moody of Alabama. and opposed by Brooke of Alabama. It is proposed to raise SlO0.OO0 for the National AssOcia- tion and $l00,GuO each for the State and County Associations by the cent tax on each bale of cotton.
 The suspension ot Vice President Pe- ters of Texas was discussed but no drastic action taken. There was a sen timent in favor Of allowing the matter to drop in view of the fact that Mir. Peters has only two more months to serve in an office which since his sus pension by President Jordan some months ago has been nothing more than nominal
 After passing a number of resolu- ttonS' the chief of which was one look ing to the establishment of State and County co-agrirultural departments, the convention adjourned until 3 o'clock this afternoon
