FARMERS URGED TO ORGANIZE,

Clarksdale, Miss, Jan. 9, 1905.
To The Cotton Producers of Missis-
sippi:
By virtue Of the authority vested
in me by Mr.. Harvie Jordan, Presi-
dent of the Cotton Growers Protective
Association, | hereby call mass meet
ings of the cotton producers in each
and every county of the State of Mis-
sissippi to be held in the respective
court houses at 10 O'CLOCK noon, Sat-
urday, January %, 1905.
The object of these meetings is
selecting delegates to attend the con-
vention at New Orleans on Jan. "a,
25 anG 26, and for the purpose of
effeeting permanent County Organiza-
tons.
The state delegation will be called
together at New Orleans, if desired,
during the Convention, for the pur-
pose of effecting permanent State
Organization.
Do not be disturbed by the croak-
ings of the Wise ones, who say the
farmers cannot be organized; 60 on
and organize, if there are only three
of you present-others will join
you.
There have been numerous plans of
organization ggested-many of
them are practical. like best, with
some notifications, the idea suggested
by Mr.. T. S. Thomas of Brownsville,
Tenn.
Organize stock company with
capital stock OF three million bales of
cotton; place this cotton, at once, in
the hands of your Board of Directors,
at your nearest sea port, this cotton
never to be sold for less than 10 cents
per pound and then only to the spin
ner; when this cotton is sold you have
one bundled and fifty million dollars
capital, and Mr.. Bear will hibernate;
pay back one half of this capital to
the stockholders and deposit the re-
mainder in local banks to be loaned to
needy farmers who will pay it back
the following season III cotton.
/ beg you, do not burn your cotton
or sell it for less than 10 cents per
pound it has already been sold by the
Bear Spectator and you do not have
to stand and deliver he is playing
deep game of bluff and you have only
to stand pat and call his hand.
quote from Mr.. Jordan's call:
THE subject of this. convention is for
business and not for the purpose of
passing resolutions or listening to
speeches. The cotton producers OF
the South must definitely determine
whether the price Of their great
money staple crop, cotton, shall con-
tinue to be controlled by the whims
and fancies of speculation or whether
fixed and definite plans shall be adopt
ed by which theaproduction and price
of the staple will be regulated by the
legitimate laws of supply and demand.

eTrOK 70 WAFER STORY.
State officials Won't Give Up Their
Pretty idea.

Pretty idea.
The state officials who went down
to Camden to help launch the Kansas
will not give up the story that water
was used instead Of champagne. The
Capital ievotes q column to it in
which 1t says:
ALI Of the members Of the COVER
nor'S party who we're present at the
launching Of the battleship Kansas
deny the story sent out from Abilene
to the effect that Mr.. Sterl Of that
city is positive that the battleship
was christened with champagne and
not water. They are all ready to
testify that the fluid did not foam
when the bottle was broken by Miss
Koch and that it contained water.
They also deny that the story was a
fake gotten up by the eastern papers.
81 do not know Mr.. Sterlof Abb
lene," said Governor Hoch, when
asked IL he had read the dispatch from
that place concerning the liquid used
in christening the bAttleship. HE
certainly was not on the platform
with our party and could not tell
from the distance occupied by the
spectators what was used. He might
have seen the bottle which contained
the champagne; that was sitting close
by the other bottle which was used,
but he 10 mistaken. Water was used
and 1t was the water l took from here
with me. know and other members
Of the party know all about the mat
ter. l do not care to discuss IL now.
l am satisfied and / suppose almost
every other one is also satisfied that
water was used.
at is true that the correspondents
might have sent out some reports
which were not absolutely correct,
but in this particular instance they
told the exact truth 30 far as l know"
General Hughes, General Drew and
Colonel Denison were oil positive that
water was used. II am ready to take
oath that it was water" exclaimed
General Hughes. Haven't I got
both the bottles Of champagne which
were offered to be used. They are
out to my house now. I got the
champagne bottle at the bar room in
the Bellview.S tratfold which was used
to put the water in. | also took the
bottle out Of the case and substituted
the Vater bottle. You'can't tell me 1t
was not water because l know. No
man who was not on the platform
could tell what was going on and there
was no one On the platform except
the governor, members Of the party
and few officials of the Ship-building
company. The man at Abilene has
another guess coming on the chriSten-
ing question"
General Drew, who saw the bottle
filled with water, and exchanged for
the bottle of champagne, and Colonel
Denison, both are emphatic in deny
ing that champagne was used.
"We all were there and We know"
remarked the staff officers.

SHARP BREAK IN PRICES

TO CAUSE FURRY ON THE
STOCK MARKET.

New York, April 28.-A number df:
Incidents combined to cause dis
couragement on the part of speculative
holders of stocks during the day and
their unloading caused sharp break
in prices. The depression was mnch
aggravated by the uneasiness reportfa
from foreign stock markets on acco3at

EXODUS Is UNPRECEDENTED
RUMoRS OF POPULAR OUTBREAK
CAUSE CONSERVATION AT
i ST. PETERSBURG.

st. Petersburg, April 28.-A feeling
akin to CONSERVATION has been caused
by the publication in the morning pa
pers of renewed rumors of an impend
ing popular outbreak. 1t is feared that
the slightest incident, accidental OF
malevolent, among the vast congrega
tions which will attend the churches
on Saturday night may cause panic
with appalling consequences. The
mayor is being urged to convene the
measures to cope with the situation
and it is expected that the prefect OF
police will issue g reassuring procla
nation, but the alarm is so great that
1t would have little effect. The exc
dus at Easter will be unprecedented
All the accommodation at the neigh.
boring resorts has already been en-.
gagged.
Reports from the provinces indicate
similar fears.
There is a somewhat widespread i'm
preston that the police are melting
the masses against the intellectual
classes.
Governor General Trepoff, when seen
by a representative of the Associated
Press, declared emphatically that
there was absolutely ND occasion for a
panic.
"The tales Of massacres and disor-
ders and the organization of mobs to
beat the intellectuals and plunder and
burn the city" he said, "are pure in
ventions, spread by agitators and other
evil minded persons for the express
DurDOSe of creating Manic"

BigeloW's handwriting. Mr.. Bigelow
was not positive of the names of some
of his creditors, nor of the nature of
some of the companies, and had moth
ing at hand to refresh his memory, so
the attorney was obliged to use his
best judgment, in figuring out what
concerns were meant.
The revelations as to the system of
Mr.. Bigelow in conducting large af-
fairs are such as to stagger the belief
of bankers, to whom method in such
transactions is as second nature. The
filing of the petition in bankruptcy
will necessitate the withdrawal of the
securities which were turned over by
Mr.. Bigelow to the First National bank
as, being made within four months OF
the filing of the petition in bankruptcy,
1t constitutes an act of preference of
creditors, and the amount, which was
estimated at about 100000, will be
equally divided among all the creditors
of Mr.. Bigelow. This will in no way
affect the bank, however, as the guar
antee of the directors and stockhold-
ers more than covers the defalcation.
The estimated total of liabilities is
about $2,200,00O, as Attorney Spooner
stated that the petition is so incom-
plete and may be subject to 50 much
amendment that exact amounts cannot
be given at present. Among the
creditors for large amounts are banks
in various parts of the United States.

RESTS WITH RoJEsTvENskY.
Location and Date of Impending Nava
Battle.

Toxic, April 28.-The movements of
the squadron commanded by Admiral
Rojestvensky and the intentions of the
Russian commander continue to be the
subject Of general interest and spec
ulation. The last Japanese reports
are conflicting and confusing. They
do not indicate definitely the purposes
of Rojestvensky, but it is evidently the
intention of the Russian admiral to
await a junction with the division com
manded by Admiral Nebogatoff, which
increases the probability of his inten-
tion to give Admiral Togo decisive
battle. 1t is assumed that ROjestVen-
sky will bring all the ships and guns
possible into action if he intends to
fight decisively or he will detach and
abandon his slow, cumbersome and
useless ships if he intends to run the
gauntlet to Vladivostok. 1t is believed
that the. location and date of the en-
gagement will depend entirely on Ro-
jestEensksgG. ..s 49,.

Milwaukee, April 2S-Frank G.
BlgeloW, the defaulting bank presi-
dent, has confessed an indebtedness
10 banks, commercial institutions and
estates OF which he had charge which
Will aggregate between $2,OO0,O00 and
$3,GOO,O0O and, based on his confession,
voluntary petition in bankruptcy has
been filed in the United States dis
trict court which contains the names
OIL as many of Mr.. Bigelow's creditors
as ne can remember, together with a
list OF assets on which Mr.. Bigelow' S
valuation is S1,419,OO0.
BY his own admission his creditors
extend all over the United States. One
estate has been looted, his indebted
ness to the Brodhead estate being
100000. The debt is unsecured. 1t
Is also believed other trusts held by
the eX-banker have suffered. Those
familiar with the situation and with
what information they can CLEAN from
the former banker fear his liabilities
Will run up to considerably more than
his present estimate, as they believe
subsequent revelations will reveal
transactions of even a more startling
nature.
Attorney Charles P. Spooner, who
filed the voluntary petition in behalf
of Mr.. Bigelow, was compelled to make
up the petition in such a short time
that it is lar from complete and will
necessarily have to be amended. So

Stanley, Wis, April 2S.-The post
Office at Boyd, six miles west of here,
was burglarized, the safe was blown
open and about $40 in cash and $400
worth of postage stamps stolen. The
burglars evidently were tramps and
had taken sledges and crowbars from
the blacksmith shop to assist them in
gaining entrance to the safe, which
finally was opened with heavy charge
of explosives. The explosion awak-
ened some of the citizens, but the
burglars escaped.
