said:
To-day / am in receipt of instruc-
tions from headquarters in Atlanta to
institute a movement toward securing
pledges from the farmers for the cot
ION winch they now have on hand for
fifteen cents.
I'VE know that there is a most ac-
tive demand for dry goods and that
the mills have not the cotton neces-
sary to run them to fill these con-
tracts. The association considered
eleven cents d fair but unreasonable
price for cotton, but in view of the
very aggressive campaign that has
been instituted against cotton in the
last few days, it would be absurd for
the Southern Cotton Association to
stand by and see the producers of
cotton throughout the South despoil-
ed of millions of dollars.
1--WE must convince the spinners of
the world that the price of cotton is
to be fixed by the producer, and not
by the speculator.
1--WE have the money on hand and
propose to pay our canVaSsers for
their work.

wnen the jail was at that place, was
brought to the attention of the Levy
Court again this morning. William H.
Cooper, Jr., counsel for Mayor Boyd,
appeared before the court and asked
that the matter be taken up.
The original bill was about S2,500, but
it was cut down to 1900, for which
amount a warrant was made out for,
hut was never signed by the President
OF the Court or the Comptroller. Mr.
Cooper stated that it is a fact that
Mayor Boyd did try and commit
large number OF vagrants and therefore
the county certainly owes him some-
thing. The matter was referred to the
finance committee.
a communication was received from
Stewart and Donohos, who built the
M.ddletown and Odessa road, asking
for the payment of the five pere cent
which was held back on the contract
price. Il amounts 10 sl025 and was re-
