Brown of North Carolina. providing for the appointment of cornmittee to consider the advisabiiity of making the organization permanent and of naming the next place of meeting. If met with opposition from the English delegates but was adopted.
 In the discussion which followed the proposition was laid by the spinner. and manufacturers. that if the farmers or the South will build warehouses, store cotton. finance 1t, and put the pro duct in charge of expert. cotton men to handle 1t and practically be the me- dium of buying and selling between the manufacturers and producer they will do bushes on that basis,
 should Build Wnrehouses.
 Mir. Jordan called on his associates to get at the proposition on business basis. He said they had now squareiy before them the attitude of the spin ners and manufacturers and he advis- ed the growers to go ahead and build warehouses, store their cotton and get rid of the cotton damage and then to finance that cotton and sell it as the world needs 1t for consumption. For forty years or more. he said, the pro- ducers had violated all legitimate laws of supply and demand
 "whenever you sell twelve months VTOuuCtiOn WAtHitl ltc ciAOil pCAiOu VI four or five months" he said. "you glut the market and you do not regulate the supply to meet the demand If the producer expects to fix the price of cotton based upon legitimate laws of supply and demand and the trade conditions which prevail from time to time, he said, the producers must put themselves in the position where they can get out their staple to the con sumers of the world as they need it and stop present system already re- ferred to. When that is done, he said. the evils of speculation would be stop ped. f
 He maintained that there was but one way to get the cooperation of the spinners on the proposition. The spin ners were not going to commit them selves to it or break up their present system of buying cotton unless the farmers and businessmen of the south provide better facilities for handling and marketing the crop upon a business basis. When that was done they would he said, have direct trade with the spinners.
 We now know what our duty is. he said, and we can go back to our people and say to them that we un- derstand now what the situation Is. We know what we have got to do ana then, and as business men we should go ahead and do it.

NEW RAILROAD IN AFRICA.
Will shorten Rail Connection Between
Kimberly and johannesburg.

Consul General H. L. Washington
writes from Cape Town that the open
ing on April of the ia miles of new
railway between Fourteen Streams, on
the border of Cape Colony and the
Orange River Colony border, makes a
berry. SIS miles from Cape Town, and
Klerksdorp, in the Transvaal near the
Orange Rievr Colony border, makes a
material change in the railway map
of South Africa. While the line is but
ia miles in length, yet it reduces the
rail connection between Kim berly and
johannesburg diamond fields and
the gold mines=by % hours time of
travel, 6s1 miles to 81. 1t is about
800 miles in a direct line between the
two places. The coal fields of Natal
and the Transvaal are likewise brought
this much nearer to the Kimberly
mines. This new connection also re-
duces the journey between Cape Town
and Johannesburg from 1913 to 95S
miles. The line was constructed under
an agreement made between the inter
colonial council and the De Beers
company. owners of the Kimberly
mines, who, 1t is understood, financed
the undertaking. The construction
was commenced in March 1905
