SEED CRUSHERS TO MEET.
Conference Will Be Held In Montgom-
 cry On October 2.

Montgomery September 27.-(Special. )- From his home in Selma, through Secre- tary J. w. Black of this city President Ernest Lamar of the Alabama Cotton Seed Crushers' association, has called d meeting of the executive committee to meet at the Exchange hotel, in Montgom- cry on Wednesday. October ?.
 President Lamar, with H. J. Cassels of this city, has just returned from the called meeting of the Interstate associa- tion, held in New Orleans on last Mon oay. At this meeting both took a prom inent part and it is to discuss the ques- tons which came up here and the fu- ture work of this association in Alabama that this meeting is called.
 At this time a proposition which will aid the planters of the state and bring them iii closer relation with the oil mills of this state will be brought up and acted upon.
 President Lamar states that he realizes full well that this is the busy season with the cotton oil mill men of the state, but urges that the importance of the meeting compels him to ask for a large attendance of the committee. It is not probable that the meeting will be in ses- sion over one day and at that time a thorough review of the interstate meeting will b. had by the Alabama delegates.
