New Orleans Delegates at Home.

All of the delegates from the
Union county cotton association to
the convention of the Southern
Cotton Association which met in
New Orleans January II, IL and
Is returned last Sunday. We have
seen and talked with DR.. M. w.
Culp and Judge j. M. Greer, both
of whom are elated over the trip
and the good work accomplished
by the association. DR.. Culp says
that the convention was composed
of some of the most prominent and
intelligent men of the cotton states,
and that unity and harmony of
thought, ideas and action charac-
terized the entire proceedings.
Both DR.. Culp and Judge Greer
feel assured that the resolutions
adopted which secures the coopera-
ton Of the mill men and spinners
with the cotton planters is giant
stride in the direction towards uni
flying and identifying the material
interest of both parties, which have
heretofore been rather antagonistic
than otherwise. The support of
the merchants and bankers is
another assurance of unqualified
success of the plans and purposes of
the association, all of which no
farmer need entertain any fears
about the same being carried out,
provided the farmers all stick to-
gether and obey instructions.
Another great project was dis
cussed and favorably received, that
of making New Orleans the great
shipping point for agricultural pro-
ducts, direct to foreign countries.
The building of large warehouses in
the city in which to store cotton,
grain, ETC., until it could be shipped.
The Mississippi river and its tribu-
taries would be the inland water
ways for transportation, much
cheaper than railroads. To make
New Orleans the cotton center and
market of the United States instead
Of New York in this way we elimi-

An English reporter, fired with pat

by an American visitor that London.

the charge.
He visited number OF well-known
shoeblacks at important points in
London, but what he learned all tend.
ed to confirm the allegation made by
the American.
One shoeblack said he had custom
ers who look like millionaires but get
only one shine a week. After hearing
similar stories from other shoeblacks
the newspaper man took mp position
in Piccadilly Circus and examined the
boots OF passersby.
He confesses that Of 80 people who
passed, the boots of GO looked as II
they had not been polished for a
week Twelve Of them had their
boots we'll polished. but the remaining
eight had to be labeled indifferent.
After that, nothing was left but to
acknowledge that the indictment OF
the American had some foundation
