THEIR WORK DONE
SOUTHERN PLANTERS AND BUSI-
 NESS MEN ADJOURN.
Many Important Matters Will Be Con- sldered By the Executive Com mlttee At Meetings in New
 Orleans This Week.

New Orleans, Jan. 13.-With the mat ter of acreage as the most important question remaining to be settled, the Southern Cotton Association today be- gan the last day of it's work. The ques- tion of permanent headquarters, the election of officers and the proposi- ton to establish an official organ will be settled by the executive commit tee at it's sessions here next week.
 The executive committee will also arrange to put into effect the plan of holding the remainder of the crop for 15 cents. It is directed to select one representative of the association from each state and territory, one banker from each state and territory and five cotton men at large to perfect the fol- lowing plan:
 by which the farmer or owner of cotton can deposit with his banker the re- ceipts or pledges to hold his cotton for fifteen cents, the contract to provide that the cotton cannot be sold for less than fifteen cents, basis midling, at Southern poft, except with the consent of this committee. The owner Of the cotton has full power and authority to sell this cotton at fifteen cents or over, the banker to retain one cent per pound to be held in trust until such times all of this cotton so pledged has heen disposed of, when this committee will meet and arrange disposition of the balance as the interest may appear.
 The hall was well filled when Presi- dent Jordan called the convention to order. A resolution by M. V. Calvin of Georgia, was adopted instructing the executive committee to publish for dis tribution 100000 copies of the pro- ceedings of the convention.
 Erister Ashcraft, of Florence Ala, spoke at some length on the extension of the cotton trade in new markets.
 President Jordan in behalf of the presented MT. F. D. Smith, the field agent fthe association, with a. handsome gold match safe in recog- milton of the work done by him.
 w. P. Shinwault of Mississippi, chair man of the Committee on Acreage Re- duction, reported favoring the reduc- tion of acreage 25 per cent from that planted In 1904. As there were planted 32 ,OOO, ,00O acres of cotton in 1904 this would mean that the Southern Cotton Association is in favor of planting but 24 900. 900 acres of cotton this year. The report was unanimously adopted.
 Hon. John Temple Graves was then and addressed the conven- tion.
 The Committee on Statistics. through Chairman E. B. Afford. presented q lengthy report asking each State to
