AN APPEAL TO FARMERS.
President Jordan Urges Cotton Grow
ers to Stand Firm and Fight
Against Depressed Market.

In view Of the present status OF the
cotton market, which is far from being
as encouraging as desired, President
Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton
Association has issued the following
appeal to the members Of the asso-
citation and planters generally to join
in the great co operative movement for
bringing the market up to that basis
which will give the price to which
the cotton growers OF the south are
entitled for their product:
The continued unwarranted depres-
sion in the price Of =pot cotton should
appeal to every business interest in
the south. At present prices farmers
should and must stand firm and re-
fuse to market a single bale which
can be held On the farms or financed
through the banks. earnestly ask
for the active co operation Of all the
merchants, bankers, guano dealers and
cotton factors throughout the full ex-
tent Of their power until the market
reacts to higher figures. This CO.
operation and assistance can be best
subserved at this time by granting 70
every farmer possible an extension
Of their accounts and notes to jan
uary /, 1906. If this is done PROMPTLY,
an absolute tieup Of the cotton mar
ket can be made for the next two or
three months, and the spinners will
be compelled to have large quantities
Of spot cotton before the end Of that
time. Prices must advance IN the
near future. The time for general CO.
operation all along the line is at hand,
and I appeal to every interest with
which the producers deal to do their
full part in the present fight. Grant
all extensions possible that can be ses.
cured by cotton as collateral, and to
not press the producers who owe
money to settlement at present low
prices Tie'up the spots and let the
whole world understand that the south
is solid in the protection Of her great
staple from the 'bearish' speculator
and the hands Of the foreign spinner.
All state presidents are urged to call
mass meetings at once in counties of
their divisions to secure the immediate
cooperation Of farmers and business
interests to stop the sale Of cotton.
Scarcely any cotton is now being sold
by the farmers, and while the fight IS
On let US stand shoulder to shoulder.
farmers, merchants, bankers and all
for the protection of the staple and
the future prosperity of the south.

French Painter Hoarded Wealth.
Concerning the late Jean Jacques
Henner a curious legend was current
In France. He was as fond of money
as his English colleague Turner, and
his great popularity enabled him to
make $4,000 a year. OF this he evil
IDENTIFY did not spend the twentieth
mart. According to popular belief, he
was saving the rest for the purpose of
some day buying back Alsace and Lor-
ra,ne from Germany. He was an AL
satian. and after the war he estab-
iished his fame by painting the heads
of Alsatian girls, which had a large

For the first time in more than six

The Mississippi Situation.
Mississippi's yellow fever summary
is as follows: Gulfport, one new case,

Partially Raised in Alabama.
The governor of Alabama has order

officer, that the quarantine be raised

road and then was ordered by the ele-

making the claim that setting on the
hay scales was the first delivery, and
the placing at the Loftus-Hubbard ele-
vator second one, a9d therefore a Sec
ond charge was due.
The commission holds that that was
not delivery, but that the company
was required to place the car on the

Of the state officials in inspecting, so
that in delivering the car to the Great
Western no second delivery was made,
and there was no justification for the

CONTEST WISCONSIN TAX
Railroads to Test Legality of Ad
Valorem Assessment. =

Legality of the ad valorem railroad
tax in Wisconsin will be tested by a
series of legal actions on a new point.
The roads attacked the first assess
ment on the ground that the work of
the assessors was faulty and incom-
.plete, making an unwarrantedly high
rate. In the new cases, started by the
North W estern, Illinois Central, Mil
waukee and other roads, the new point
is raised that in some local taxing dis
tricts the rate was higher than the
constitutional limit and therefore the
local assessment rates were illegal and
void. Consequently, they claim, the
state railroad assessment must be void,
as it is determined in part at least on
illegal local assessments and rates.
