ACREAGE REDUCTION.
There Was a Difference of Opinion Fri
day Morning on the Subject.

New Orleans, Jan. 1S.-Many dele
gates was busily engaged with COM
mittee work Friday when President
Jordan called the Southern Cotton
Growers association TO order for the
second days session. The commit
tees were disposed to give the most
serious attention to the matters be-
fore them by reason of the appeal
which President Jordan made to them
to make the resolutions clear and un-
equivocal. Mr.. Jordan said the eyes OF
the world were on the convention and
that kilograms had passed between
New York and New Orleans intimating
the convention would not have the
manhood to assert itself. He asked the
convention to let the people who are
dealing 'in paper contract and hot
air" understand that the south would
live up to what she said
Great interest was manifested in the
result OF the work of the committee on
holding, which is expected to be the
keynote in future campaigns.
Differences of opinion existed Friday
as to whether there would be a request
for reduction of acreage. The iudica-
lions were that there would not be.
There was also apparently some differ
ence of opinion as to whether the con-
vention should make a declaration for
Is cent cotton.
The attendance OF delegates from
Texas is not as large as at the conven-
ton last year. In some quarters the
opinion is expressed that the cOntro-
versy between Vice President Peters
and President Jordan is responsible for
the absenteeism OF Texans. Colonel
Peters, who was suspended from office
by President Jordan, is not in attend
ance, and it was understood a success
or to him would be selected when the
executive committee was organized.
The sentiment of the convention is
overwhelmingly in favor of the reten-
ton OF both President Jordan and Sec
rotary Cheathanl. Every reference to
ne connection of the latter with THE
crop reporting scandal in washington
last year has been wildly cheered by
the convention.
