the HOUSE Of TOO MUCH TRouBLE

In the House Of Too Much Trouble
Lived alone a little boy.
he was eager for a playmate,
He was hungry for toy.
But twas always too much bother,
Too much dirt, and too much noise;
But the House Of Too Much Trouble
Wasn't meant for little boys.
And sometimes the little fellow
Left book upon the floor.
Or forgot and laughed too loudly,
Or he failed to close the door
In the House OF Too Much Trouble
Things must be precise and trim
In tine House OF Too Much Trouble
There was little room for him.
He must never scatter playthings,
He must never romp and play;
Every room must be In order
And kept quiet all the day.
He had never had companions,
He had never owned a pet
In the Honse of Too Much Trouble
1t is trim and quiet yet.
Every room is set in order
Every book is in its place,
And the lonely little fellow
Wears smile upon his face.
In the House OF Too Much Trouble
He is silent and at rest
In the House Of Too Much Trouble
With a lily on his breast.

owners Of cotton t6 hold ii until
the government report On acreage
shows to the world that Southern
cotton farmers stand solidly to.
gether, that they have complied
with their agreement and demand
the value Of their product.
Ihe report of the committee on
permanent organization provides
for the creation of the Southern
Cotton Association embracing all
the cotton producing States and
Territories, to regulate cotton
production, cotton supply and e.
nancing and especially cotton
marketing, using every effort to
secure broader markets and to
limit the production to the de-
|mand at reInunerative prices and
to reduce to d minimum all ex-
penses of hauling cotton and
products from the time it leaves
the field until it reaches the COM
|sumer. There are TO be State and
Territorial, county and parish and
sub-divisional associations all reIa-
ted to the parent stem. Officers
are to be elected once year.
The executive committee Of the
main association is to consist ot
twenty seven members, appor-
toned as follows:
Alabama, 8; Arkansas q; Flor
ida, i Georgia, 3 Louisiana, 3;
Mississippi, 8; North CoraIina, 2;
South Carolina, q; Tennessee, i;
Texas, 5; Oklahoma, /; Missouri,
81; Indian Territory, 1.
Each State and Territorial as
|sociation is to be composed of one
member from each cotton grow
ing county and is to elect repre-
sentatiyes to the main body.
Each voting precinct is to have
two cotton producers in the coun-
ty organization. The president
and vice president Of the South,
|ern cotton association are made
ex-oficio members of its execu-
tive committee. The funds fo1
the organization and its opera
tions are to be derived from ini-
tiation fees, annual dues and a
charge on each bale of cotton pro
duced bV its membership.
The following resolution was
offered BY the resolutions commit.
tee through ex-senator McLau-
rim, and adopted;
That q special committee be
appointed By the convention to
confer with the President Of the
United States, the Secretary Of
Agriculture and the manufacture
ers Of cotton goods to obtain such
concerted action as will enlarge
our trade in cotton products In
foreign countries.

IhE INTERSTATE COTTON CoNYEN
TfnN


The Times Democrat SAYS when
the gavel FELL Oh the fnal scenes
lof The Southern Interstate Cotton
Conventions the most momemtous
economic and industrial event of
this section ID the last two score
years passed into history, leaving
q permanent organization whose
Iayowed end is the organization Of
| the cotton producing industry to
lcontrol the cotton output Of the
South and to hold perpetual pow
er In the markets Of the world.
The details and plans for that
permanent organization have been
mapped out; and their execution
now rests in the hands of an exec
utige committee of twenty seven
lnen, appointed from the cotton
States, with HarYie Jordan, Of
Georgia, as president, Col. e. IS.
Peters, Of Texas, as vice presi-
Ident, and John M. Parker, Of
New Orleans, as secretary treas
Iurer.
To several vital principles this
permanent organization stands
pledged.
For the immediate future, the
retention Of the existent surplus
cotton, until the market price
shall have reached a minimum Of
/ ten cents at the seaboard; the re-
lduction of acreage and of the use
lof commercial fertilizers during
the next year, fully % per cent.
For the more distant future,
these greater ends are demanded
Continuing organization Of the
lproducers and their allied inter-
ests, to prevent overproduction
ever flooding the market and to
control the supply.
Closer trade relations with the
manufacturer for the consumer
land stricter surveillance Of the
transportation companies, that the
iddIemen's profits may be elm
linated.
Extensionof the American com
lmerce to the distant or unknown
markets of the world, that con-
sumption may be increased and
the necessity relieved for any fu-
ture reduction in the producing
capacity Of the South.
To accomplish these ends, the
merchants and the bankers and
the planters of the cotton country
have banded together. The bank
ers have pledged $4,000 to the
Organization and Inauguration OF
| the enterprise, provided it shows
lvirility and force.
The merchants and the bankers
have individually evidenced their
willingness to carry the surplus
cotton Of the planters until such
time as wisdom demands its sale.
The farmers have pledged them
selves TO diversifcation Of crops,
to reduction of acreage and to the
retention Of their present hold
ings.
Such was the work and the
character of the convention.
The gathering came from every
Southern State save Virginia and
Missouri. With fifteen hundred
registered delegates, there we're
fully two thousand from outside
the city and hundreds from inter-
urban sources who came to take
part in the proceedings.
President IA. Brittin, of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
declared the gathering the best, in
every sense, she had ever seen.
Its work he characterized as mar
Velous.
Secretary Hester, Of the Cotton
Exchange, echoed this praise, and
added to it.
President Harvie Jordan pledg
led himself to work with his heart
and his mind for the work that he
deemed the grandest in the histo-
Try of the South, to prove himself
il some way worthy of the honor
he felt to be the highest ever
granted q Southern man since the
civil war.

Unless we mistake the present

The farmers hereabouts will
plant their usual acres in cotton,
corn, oats, peas, ETC., and give
them the usual cheerful attention,
and if Providence rewards their
striVings with another bumper
crop, they will do no complain
ing, for the cotton will be nearly
net gain; and our sensible people
fully realize that the least of all
"misfortunes" is a bountiful cot
ton crop to the man who makes

FRUITS or COMMISSIONER EENRlS
GOOD WORK.

FRUITS OF COMMISSIONER HENRl'S
GOOD W0Rk
Mi. Il. H. Henry, Worlds
Fair commissioner, has returned
from St. Louis, whore he went
for the purpose Of seeing about
THE medals that have been award
ed to Mississippi on account Of
her exhibit. Mr. Henry stated
this morning that it would be
some three or four weeks before
tho medals awarded to Mississippi
we're received BY him. Tie board
of review is now going over the
whole matter and verifying the
work of the jury Of awards. All
told there were some fifty thous-
and medals awarded, and 1t is q
large Job to review this work.
What will be done with the Mis-
sissippi medals after they are re-
ceived has not keen determined as
yet, but it is probable that they
will be turned over to the depart
ment Of archives and history to
be preserved. This is about the
most appropriate thing that could
be done with them. jackson
Evening News, Jan. 26th.
II is pertinent to observe in
connection with what is stated
above BY the News, that since
Mississippi took the grand prize
at the Worlds Fair on cotton and
timber, and also received a num-
Der of gold and silver medals on
her other exhibits, hay, grain,
grasses, canned goods, school
work, minerals, fish and game,
etc, criticism Of the Mississippi
exhibits, often by people who bad
never seen them, and by others
who had no conception as to their
worth and value, and by still 9TH
ers who would not commend any
thing done by State Commissioner
Henry, has been silenced and
squeIched. The Commissioner has
triumphed over all bis would be
critics and his work for MississiD-
pi stands approved and vindicated
BY The jurors, made up Of compe-
tent, skilled men of different ma
tionaIities.
The Mississippi exhibits have
been pronounced a success, a cred
it and an honor to the State. They
underwent the closest scrutiny,
stood the severest test, and re-
ceived the highest awards from
men who understood their value
and comprehended their merit.
Mississippi took the highest
prizes on her leading products,
cotton and timber, and that while
in competition with other States
and other countries. She was
awarded three gold medals on her
different kinds of hay, and also on
her grains and cereals. In other
words, she stands in the front
rank with her natural products,
and what more could be expected
Now to whom is all this credit
dueg Who was receiving the
criticisms of the fault finders! |!
One man alone Commissioner r.
H. Henry. The State exhibits
were his. He conceived them and
had his plans executed. The
whole thought, collection, ar
rangement and success Of the ex-
hibits belong to r. II. Henry,
who has given all his time for the
past two years to exposition
work. He put all his time,
energy and brain into the enter
prise, and never for a moment
doubted the success Of the under
taking Today his work stands
complete, a credit to himself and
monument to The State he served.
He can-well afford to rest. He is
vindicated.
