BEGIN CAMPAIGN
 FOR HIGHER PRICES
LAuDERDALE COUNTY, Mlssls- SIPPI BEGINS IMPORTANT MOVE MENT-PREslDENT BAILEY COM MENTs ON SITUATION.

Meridian. Miss. March 2s.-special: Lauderdale County begins Its campaign for higher priced cotton on March sist. when the first meeting of the year will be held. The call was issued today by President John A. Bailey. who In an in- terview: T notice cotton has an upward tendency. I believe 1t will go to twelve and one-half cents per pound. I see no reason why it should not. The crop of 1905-1s06 Is not a large one, even if the government estimate is correct. The spnners need twelve million bales or more and they will try to get as much raw material as possible. The recent de- pression in prices has been of a speeu- lative character. It has little or no ref erence to the law of supply and demand which ultimately. must control The re- duction of the acreage and the amount of fertilizer to be used in the near ap- preaching planting season will be the main topic for consideration at the meet ing. but I believe that we will decide to raise everything that can be used at home and on the farm, and let the cot ton be purely the surplus money crop. By this means only can the cotton grow CT of the South name the price that shall be paid for the great staple. With every thing that can be used raised on the farm we will become in a measure inde pendent. The cotton crop may be small . CT next season. but the net results will be decidedly greater The falling off in the cotton situation as shown by the weekly report of the Board of Trade and Cotton Exchange Is of decided propor- tions. and Is held to bear out the stand taken by President Bailey, of the County Cotton Association and other planters who insist on predicting even smaller crops for the coming season. The report for the past week as compared with the same period of last year, Is as follows:
 Receipts. 923 bales, as against 3,579 last year; shipments lbs. against 3.S36 last year; stock on hand, 23.547, against 27,Sl0 last year; staple received since Septem- Der 1st last 6O 436 bales

NEW WOMAN OF TURKEY.
How the Bicycles and Agencies Are
 Potent Agencies.

In the March Housekeeper, Warwick James Price tells strange things of the new women of Turkey, declaring that the young Turkish husbands are charmed by the innovations of the past few years.
 But it must be borne in mind that the advance in Turkish womanhood IS not at first to follow intellectual lines. More of personal freedom is just now the goal towards which she is success. fully working, nor could anything have helped her more materially than the growing prevalence of monogamy. To- day practically only the Sultan goes in for more than one wife. The rich young Turks of the generation just coming into control are most of them travelled men. They have known the clever married women of Paris and Vienna and London, and in their own land they have felt the loss of such charms. They have discovered that a whole harem full of beautiful Circas- sians is not so satisfying as the com pany of one educated woman, who can be companion as well as wife. What too, is a harem but selfish, narrow ing pleasure, thinks this young Turk who has in mind the picture of Flu ropean acquaitapce introducing his wife abroad himself gaining prestige through her charms? These citizens of Abdul Amid have come to the con clusion that to have but one wife is. after all, far the best way to live.
 Once upon time domestic life in the land of the Sultan was quiet to dullness. Now 1t is being infused with

 Justice OSulllyan said he would not issue a warrant for reasons he already had stated that for the same reason he would not accept the deposition which MT Jerome had to offer.
 District Attorney Jerome would make no definite statement after the close of the proceedings in court on the insurance matter. II is considered probable that he will go next week before some magistrate and there institute proceedings against insurance officials.
 When asked If he would go before Recorded Golf as suggested by Judge O'Sullivan, he replied;
 Certainly not Recorder Golf is a polcyholder in the New York Life"

Marion, March g Special. the solicitation of Dr. R. C. Patrick. president of the Judson college, Andrew Carnegie has agreed to contribute $l5,000 towards the erection of a library build ing for the Judson, provided the trustees will raise a like amount. The trustees have accepted the proposition and a suffl- cient sum has already been raised to au- thorize the securing of plans and speelh- cations for the building and the contract will be let as soon as the details can be arranged. f
 The building will doubtless be located on the northwest corner of the Judson lot and 1t fig the purpose of President Patrick to charge A small membership fee and thus give the public the benefit of the library. the amount to go towards the paying of the librarian and the keep ing up of the building. Dr. Patrick says he could have obtained a s500O0 strue ture as easily as s9o,0Oo, but the latter. amount will be ample to secure a build ing to meet all demands for years to come and besides he is contemplating other improvements for which the friends of the school will be asked to aid.
