Legislative Proceedings.
Another Letter from Repre-
sentative Foster--The Dis
pensary Situation Review
ed--Many Matters Of Pub
lie Interest.

cising the Legislature is the Dis
pensary and how best to adjust
the difficult question. The friends
of the Dispensary have held fre
quent conferences to unite on one
definite plan, and the anti-dis-
pensarites have been active in
holding conferences for the pur
pose of uniting against the Dis
pensary; these forces call it the
common enemy, and its destruc-
tion is the battle cry. The situation
as [ see it is this: The House is
against the Dispensary and would
repeal the law, but the Senate is
about equally divided and may
prevent the repeal of the Dspeu
sary, and the House would not
assist the Senate to patch up the
law. and the present conditions
would remain. The Dispensary
members admit that unless the
present law is greatly reformed
the people will vote out the dis
pensaries throughout the State.
If the dispensary law is repealed
the Legislature will pass a local
option law providing for county
dispensaries, prohibition and high
license. Local option or the dis.
pensary in the present condition
will be the outcome of the pres
ent Legislature.

Address To The Farmers.
BY Vice-President Tindal, Of
The State Cotton Association.

ilo dhD udl meeting OF the
Southern Cotton Associaton was
held at New Orleans January
ii, IL and 13, every county IN
the state being well represented,
Farmers, bankers, merchants
representatives, OF the highest type
OF manhood in the sonrh, were
present, all determined TO make
The organization stronger and
greater. They insist on raising
more food crops, and farmers
who did not reduce the cotton
acreage last year must do so this
year 25 per cent. President
Harvey Jordan congratulated
the Southern Cotton Association
for "standing together, and that
wehave accomplished everything
up to now that we set ont to do,
aud that we bad only one and
one half million bales of cotton
In the south, and every bale of
this will be needed soon to fill
contracts sold ahead" Peace
has been restored in foreign
lands and a larger demand for
manufactured goods than we
have ever had is caused from
the late disturbances. The
manufacturer admits that 12
cents was the price they ex.
pected to pay for the crop;
therefore we will have to get
fifteen cents for the remainder
of our cotton to average twelve
cents per pound. Cotton is the
cheapest commodity on the mar
ket today.
If there was a man at the
Convention that thought fifteen
cents was too high for cotton he
did not dare show his head or
open his mouth, aud when the
vote was taken it was unanimous
Tor fifteen cents. Amid shouts
and syells: owe will have it !
We must have 1t We will hold
until we do get it !" were express
slons heard all over the house.

hands OF people that can cut out
the cotton crop if necessary or

Blair, a prosperous farmer
Of Hughes county, A more
flattering compliment could
not be paid to this apparent

other load being sent oqt by

as were displayed in this
load of hogs could come
