COTTON MEN TO MEET
STATE ORGANIZATION WILL As-
 SEMBLE TO-DAY.
Permanent Association of Alabama Farmers VIII be Perfected In Hall of the House of Repre-
 semtafivee. t

The most compact cotton organiza- tion the State of Alabama has ever had is expected to be formed today at the convention in Montgomery.
 Reports received Commissioner of Agriculture R. R. Poole indicate that every county in the State will be rep resented by one delegate and some by alternate delegates.
 The convention will assemble in the chamber of the House of Representa- tives and will be called to order at noon.
 The delegates who were elected by the county associations last Saturday, will proceed first to permanently organize. president will be elected, as we'll as a secretary and treasurer. There Is some talk of electing a State organizer who would probably have supervision over the county organizers. This, while not exactly provided for In the New Orleans plan, would not con- fiict with any of the machinery of the Southern Cotton Association.
 In the hands of the officers who will be named by the convention today printed copies of the county association constitutinos and bylaws are expect ed to be placed. These were drafted by the Executive Committee of the Southern Association in Atlanta & few days ago. By the State officers they will be distributed among the county officers so that the sub-organizations may be regularly organized as speedily as possible.
 It is very likely that today also some action will be taken to solve the great problem of the leasehold system of cotton planting. Pursuant to strong appeal recently made by Presf- dent Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Association, the convention will adot some measure to get the lessors of farm lands to divide their rent notes this year so that some will be payable in cotton, some in corn, peas, and other food supplies.
 This would insure a diversity of crops. Some inconvenience and first year sacrifices are expected of both planters and those who rent the lands. The leaders of the movement for better prices believe that the patriotism of the Southern growers will be equal to the occasion.
 The New Orleans convention plan will be thoroughly explained today. It will be necessary for every part of the State machinery to be informed of this function from the president of the State Association down to the beat committeeman on acreage.
 Commissioner Poole proposes to in- troduce resolution today which will seek to get the signature of each cotton grower in every beat of the State de- fining his attitude as to the reduction of 1905 acreage. By the end of the next thirty. days the Commissioner would expect to know just how much reduc- ton is going to be made in acreage this year. The reduction of commercial fertilizers will also be urged
 The fact that politics will be eIimi- mated from the convention entirely will guarantee that the gathering today is to be serious one. By the provisions of the Southern Association, which rules all the State and minor organiza- tions, no public oficeholder is allowed to become an officer in any of the sub divisions.

TRIED FOR GAMING
MEN WHO WE'RE FOUND IN MER-
 CHANTS HOTEL.
The Hearing of Crenshaw, Strauss and De3ardeIeben Was in Progress When the Criminal Court
 Adjourned,

The trial of the cases against Fletcher Crenshaw. S. B. Strauss. and c. c. DeBardeleben, young men, ar- rested by the police In the Merchants Hotel some time ago. where it is al- legged a gambling house was conduc- ted, began yesterday afternoon in the criminal division of the City Court of Montgomery.
 It will be remembered that these young men were convicted by Record sr Arlington on charges of being found in a house, kept for gambling purposes. The cases were appealed to the criminal division of the City Court
 The cases were called yesterday afternoon at o'clock. Counsel for the defendant immediately moved to quash the complaint on the ground that the ordinance under which the young rnen were arrested was uncon- stitutional. He argued that an or dinance which gives the police author ity to arrest anyone, going into a house where gaming is in progress is a restraint on human liberties.
 The motion to quash was overruled.
 The court then heard the evidence in the case. Police Captain W. H. Taylor, Special Officer H. T. Ragland, Patrolman Cantey and Patrolman Will liamson were examined. These off, cers testified to their raid on the mo- tel where they found the defendants. Dice and money were found in the room.
 At o'clock the court took an ad- journment until 9:30 o'clock this morn ing when the hearing will be resumed.

He will have his ground specially prepared. and expects to realize a good crop. A number of Escambia farmers will plant radishes for market. and the industry gives pro- mise of assuming large proportions in the near future. As this crop is through with early, the same ground can be used for a crop of corn or po- tatoes.

VICTORY, SAYS JORDAN.

Address Issued By President of the
 2. c. A.
 Atlanta. Ga, Feb. 2O.--Tbe following address has been issued by Harvie Jor- dan, President of the Southern Cotton Ass ociation:
 The delegates to the state and terri torial conventions on the 2Ist should pass ringing resolutions endorsing the nolicy of the Southern Cotton Associa- lion to secure a reduction of at least as per cent in the cotton acreage and use of commercial fertilizers to be used under cotton for 1906; also calling upon every spot holder of cotton to tighten up his grip and refuse to mar ket asingle bale until the price ad- vances to fair and legitimate figures. The New Orleans convention adopted A resolution. which was unanimous calling upon the people to hold their spot cotton until prices reached 10 cents per pound delivered at the ports, which would make the price about S.5O in the interior. The only way to break the present advancing market is to throw spot cotton on the market and enable the buyers to fill their com tracts
 Recent investigations at all promi- nent cotton centers show beyond all doubt that exporters are heavily short of spot cotton 70 Illl Inelr contracts with. They will be utterly unable to carry out these contracts at present prices if the holders will stand pat and refuse to sell. The crisis in the situation is rapidly crystallizing, and but one of two things must happen in the near future. Either the farmers and other holders of cotton must re- Ueve the predicament the buyers are in by selling at present prices, or the buyers will, of absolute necessity, be forced to go actively into the spot market and bid prices up to point where the spot holders are willing to sell. The fight is now whipped and all the farmers have to do is to com tinue to hold their cotton and force the buyers to pay what the cotton Is worth. The exporters are heavily short for all the future months: there fore, when sales are ma3A sell only a. small portion of your holdings and keep the buyers strained up to fill their contracts. The price of cotton can be advanced cents per pound within the next sixty days if cotton is held firmly aa at present. Let there .ha na wavsTtnM anYWhere in th'

A Pair of Winners

From many sections inquiries are coming in asking if 8 farmer Who planted only ten acres of cotton to the blow in 1904 should reduce his acre- age 25 per cent also. The general cut of at least 25 per cent should be made on every farms no matter what screage Extensiye cotton fields should be cut 3s per cent. It Is bet ter to work eight acres in cotton at a profit than to cultivate ten acres at a loss. The man who does not re- duce his acreage will be making profit on the cotton he raises at the expense of his neighbors who do re- duce. Let every man put his shoulder to the wheel Let the reduction be prorated according to the acreage 25 DOT cent less, and no man VIII nave cause to regret his action next fall.
 Reduce the use of guano at least 20 per cent, and in no instance increase its use under cotton. We must de- crease production this year. and this is the only way to do 1t. Plant more food supply crops.
 The movement to retire the surplus of 100000 bales from the market until next fall will soon be started, and will be successful. With the sur plus out of the way, and the reduction of acreage and use of guano an ac- conplished fact, the balance of the crop Jeff in the hands of the holders will be needed for immediate consumption and can be sold easily at much higher prices than those at present prevail ing.
 The state convention on the 21st should also pass reolutions calling up- on landlords to divide up their rent notes, taking part rent in cotton and part in corn, peas. etc. Also call upon the Warehousemen, merchants and bankers to aid in bringing about re- duction in the acreage.
 Continue to perfect county and suh- civil division organizations and by ac- tive corporation and unity of action along business lines the Southern Cot ton association will soon be able to emancipate the south from foreign domination and bring back to our people genuine prosperity through the protection of the great money crop of the world,
