THE reports from New York that
there is discord in our ranks and
that Southern bankers and merchants
are not in sympathy with our demand

manufactured. This convention and
this association are in perfect unity.
We are walking hand in hand. Every
bale OF the present crop now n the
hands of the grower Is contracted for.
You hold the situation in your hand.

and get It.

longed applause, coming, as 1t did, on
