Atlanta. Ga, Jan. S.-The state
convention of the delegates elected by
the cotton planters Of this state for
the purpose of selecting members of
the executive committee, which is the
governing body of the Southern Cot
ton Growers association, meets here
today The meeting will be held at
the state capitol.
on January 10 the members of the
executive committee who are elected
by the state conventions here and in
other southern states will meet at
Hot Springs, Ark, for the purpose of
deciding upon the plan of campaign
for the coming season. 1t is an
nounced as practically certain that the
president and secretary will be re-
elected In regard to the policy TO be
pursued by the association next sea-
son, President Harvie Jordan has
stated. that he did not think that any
further reduction would be advised.
In his opinion the acreage should be
about the same as during last year.
on the same day on which the eX-
ecutive committee will meet in Hot
Springs, Ark, there will be a mass
meeting of persons in the south in
terested in cotton, in New Orleans.
The convention will be one of the larg-
est and most important meetings ever
held in the south and will undoubted-
ly attract wide interest. In a large
measure it will be a love feast cele-
brating the success of the movement
for higher prices. which was started
in New Orleans in January of last
year, when the Southern Cotton asso-
citation was formed. The convention
will not be a meeting of the associa-
ton proper but will be open to all
who are in some way interested in the
growing or marketing of cotton.
In some quarters it is believed that
the Southern Cotton association will
decide to tie up what cotton there is
left in the south at the present time
and to hold it until the price of cotton
reaches the l5-cent mark. 1t is said
that the success of this movement is
almost assured. 1t is expected that
about 1000, 900 bales of cotton will be
tied up, if the cotton association
should so decide.

OLD INDIAN PIPES.
Each Feather In Stem Represented
an Enemy Slain.

an Encthy slulhs
1t need scarcely be told that in the
pipes of long ago each feather append
ed to the stem represented an enemy
slain. If one doubted the record of
the war eagle feathers, The warrior
then showed the scalps Of the enemy,
which We're kept as a sort of n sacred
proof of his word. Such pipes were
used only on occasions OF peace and
war. Speaking roughly the best pipes
of eastern tribes were IN nodded clay,
the best of the western tribes In slate
pipe stone taken from the famous quar-
ry west of the Mississippi. Before the
great buffalo and antelope hunts, when
herds of game We're driven into Il pound
or an inclosed area of snares, 1t was
customary for the Indians to Whit the
incense of Precipitation TO the spirits of
the animals about to be slain, explain
ing that only the desire for food COM
PEELED the Indian to kill and that the
hunt was the will of the Master Of Life,
or Master of the Roaring Winds, who
would compensate the animals In the
next world. The pipes used for this
ceremony usually show the figure of Il
man in conference with the figure Of
an animal. Others show the figures of
Indians with locked hands. This typi'
ties vow of friendship to be termi-
mated only by death. 1t was usually
between men, but sometimes between
man and woman, in which case the
platonic bond not only precluded, but
forbade, the very possibility Of mar
riage. After that who shall say that
the stolld Indian has no vein of senti-
ment in his nature?

vation east of the refugee Sioux. 1t is

metal which l do not know, though

the edge being sharp enough, but the

Indian carvings and woven work are
not without meaning. Fighting Mistah
could read a legend where we saw
nothing but bizarre markings. There
were the circular lines, hollow down
meaning clouds; the cross, meaning the
coming of the priest; the tree, type

NEW ARMY LAW IN FRANCE.
Reduces Term of Service, But Abol-
ishes Exception.

Paris Jan. S.-The new army law,
which was adopted by an overwhelm-
ing majority at the last session of the
chamber of deputies, has gone into
effect and, it is believed, will give
general satisfaction. The new law
reduces the term of active service in
the army from three to two years. On
the other hand, it renders every
Frenchman liable, and abolishes all
former exceptions concerning widows
sons and breadwinners. While such
young men are serving in the army,
those dependent upon them will be
assisted by the state. Men. hereto
fore freed from military service owing
10 weakness will be enrolled in an
auxiliary corps.
1t is maintained that the law will
not decrease the number of the army
on a peace footing, which is $4,000,
but military experts are of the opin-
ion that there will be a slight reduc-
tion. of about $4,000, because one
half of the active army will be re-
leased annually, instead of one-third,
as heretofore and that the abolition
of exemption does not compensate for
this.
The principle of the new law is all
round equality. In carrying out this
principle the pupils of cadet schools
must serve one year in the ranks be-
fore beginning their studies, while
students in the various professions,
heretofore serving only 12 months
must henceforth serve one year as
ordinary soldiers and then, on pass
ing examinations, become reserve Of
ficers during the second year Of their
service.
