Halt Million Bales at Is Cents Per Pound.

Atlanta, Ga, February 12.-President
Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton
Association. made the following state
ment before leaving for New York:
III have been definitely assured that
an underwriting syndicate, headed by
E. r. Thomas and backed by the strong
est financial syndicatet in New York,
will underwrite five hundred thousand
bales of cotton at 13 cents. This propo-
sition will rot interfere with those spot
holders who desire to hold for Is cents"
President Jordan distinctly declared
that the Southern Cotton Association
and its officers have no connection with
the proposed syndicate, but will work
with it, as with any other agency, to
raise the price of the staple.

Senator Tillman drew large audi
ence when he appeared before the
investigating committee yesterday
afternoon. Those who may have ex-
pected to have light thrown on the
dispensary situation were sorely dis
appointed. The Senator did not at
tempt to substantiate his charges of
corruption, and the sum total of his
two hours examination or statement
was nothing of practical value. He
denied, that he had ever received any
rebates and that was about all the
"evidence" he gave. Howe yer, there
has been demand that he appear
before the committee and he asked
for the privilege himself. While
there is disappointment at nothing
being developed, we trust we will be
relieved hereafter of the political
rant calling for Tillman to come out
and tell what he knows.--Columbia

Boil Weevil Coming This Way.

w. ID. Hunter, of the Department
of Agriculture, who is in charge of
the cotton boil weevil Investigations,
is preparing to return to Texas,
where he declares the problem of
weevil determination is far from
solution.
"Our latest reports" said Mr.. Hun
ter, "show that the weevil this year
has made his customary advance of
so miles eastward.
"The unfavorable part of the pres
ent situation is that the late advance
puts the pest in the lowlands along
the Mississippi river, where the con-
ditions are most favorable to it's ex-
istence.
"ln Texas, low, wet sections suf-
fered the most. In Western Louisi.
ana there was a belt in which no cot
ton was grown--a great timber belt.
We endeavored to keep the boil
weevil from getting past this belt,
but have failed.
"The Mississippi river cannot be
considered as barrier, as the weevil
has been known to fly 25 miles with
favorable wind, and as there is much
traffic across the stream, it is sure to
be carried in baggage.
"Along the Mississippi river is
where the greatest damage will be
done. All Southern States will be
affected unless some new thing is
discovered"

| The Kurn Hattin Homes were first start

having outgrown the bounds OF private
generosity, they became a public enter

usefulness.
The property consists OF the administra-

farm Of l06 acres and 81 boys, and the
! Warner Memorial building at Savtons
River, with $50 acres and Is boys. The
children are trained to habits OF neatness
and industry IN the house and on the
farms and are brought up to be honest
self-reliant and competent. Each boy has
some daily duty, from the one that has
entire charge Of making the bread nearly
100 loaves we kly-to the little fellows
who pick up the litter around the wards
and about the buildings.
Promising New England bors between

sums OF money paid by relatives and guar

children, BY the products OF the farm and
by the interest from a small permanent
