VISITED THE OLD HOME
After Having Been Away Al
Years.

After visiting the reunion In
New Orleans Messrs. George p,
William E. and Hugh 2. Long,
brothers. visited the home of
their early boyhood near Raleigh,
Mississippi. Forty-seven years
ago, in 1859, they left the old
home and came with the father
AID mother to new home few
miles south of Winfield where
they grew to manhood. They
were the only three children in
the family when they left the old
home although sisters and an
other brother came to the family
after they moved to this country.
The three decided to go from
New Orleans and look up the old
home and some relatives left in
the community nearly half Gen.
fury ago. They found an uncle
and aunt who lived there when
they left. The old couple are
over 10 years of age now, but are
hale and hearty. The old house
is still standing, even to the old
chimneys, and the same clear
water is running from the spring
under the hill, but they all ag-
greed that the spring is nearer
the house now than it was when
they used to carry water to the
house in the long ago. They
were six, eight and ten years of
age then and distances are likely
to change in half a century. A
young brother died and was bur-
ried near the old home. They
hunted and found the grave and
will erect u monument over 1t.
They will have pictures made of
the old home to preserve as a
memento of their early boyhood.
There had been little change in
the general condition of the coun-
try around the old place since
they left 1t. 1t is away from a
railroad and town and has not
been troubled by the wonderful
development of the south during
the past ten or fifteen years. Mr..
J. M. Long, the father, purchased
the place from a man named Tom
Cotton. who wanted to "go west"
They lived there several years
and finally decided to Ego west,'
which they did, and stopped at
Winfield, finally purchasing the
place of Tom Cotton a few miles
south of Winfield. 1t was the
same Cotton who came from
Mississippi.
Before returning home the
Messrs. Long visited relatives in
Biloxi, Mississippi.

GROWERS AND SPINNERS
Met in Washington and Formed
Organization.

Washington, D. c. May l.
One of the livellest conventions
| that has yet been held in Wash
ington was the gathering of cot
ton producers of the South and
spinners of the North here today.
1t was the first time the cotton
growers and the cotton manufac-
lures have ever held joint con-
vention. The object of the meet
ing was to form an association
that could meet on common
ground and discuss the needs of
the growers and of the manufac-
turers.
1t was to be friendly meeting
and friendly association, but as
soon as the meeting opened the
growers took the floor and threw
down the gauntlet to the splnners.
They said they were willing to
deal with the mills of the North
and the mills of the world on a
fair basis, which would let the
producer and the manufacturer
each take reasonable profit; but
they are tired, they said, of hav-
ing the market controlled and
whipsawed by half a dozen cotton
gamblers in New York. Sooner
than see that happen again, they
declared, they would ''lock up
the crop in a Southern warehouse
with a Southern key, financed by
Southern money, and hold the
crop till the manufacturers came
to them, ready to deal direct and
pay the grower a fair price for
his product.
The only cottonman present
from Louisiana is j. w. Boyett.
of Tannehill. Mississippi is rep
resented by s. A. Witherspoon,
of Meridian, and Walter Clark,
of GAINESVILLE.
Representatives at the Confer
ence were the following:
The American Cotton Manu-
facturers' Association, the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers, the United States Census
Bureau, the Department of Agri-
culture, the Southern Cotton
Association, the National Asso-
citation of Cotton Manufacturers
formerly the New England Cot
ton Manufacturers Association /,
the National Ginners' Association,
the New York and the New
Orleans Cotton Exchanges, the
International Federation of
Master Cotton Spinners and
Manufacturers Association and
the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union,
A permanent organization was
effected, the following officers
being elected:
President-James r. Maccoll,
President of the National Asso-
citation of Cotton Manufacturers.
First Vice President-Harvie
Jordan, President of the South
ern Cotton Association.

Cotton Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
