OFFICIALS MAY COME
EFFORT TO BRING THEM TO cor
 TON MEETING.
President Harvfe Jordan and Organizer E. ID. Smith Asked to be in Mont gOmery For Meeting Next
 Tuesday.

An effort is being made by President Charles Gay, of the Montgomery Coun- ty Cotton Association. to have Presi- dent Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association, and E. D. Smith, general organizer, visit Montgomery on the 10th of September, on the oc- casion of the meeting of the local cot ton association. Much interest is be- ing attached to the meeting at this time, the particular object of which is to discuss the local cotton condit- ions, minimum price and warehouse improvement.
 President Gay was scheduled to be in Jackson, Miss, yesterday on the oc- casion of the session of the executive committee of the Southern Cotton As sociation, but was detained in Mont gomery owing to the illness of his son. For this reason, especially, the presence of Messrs. Jordan and Smith is desired in the city at the county meeting, so that direct report of the executive committees sessions can be had from the cotton officials.
 MT. Gay is also much interested in the meeting of the cotton spinners which is to be held in Atlenta in Oc- tober, and has already taken steps
 
 the conference include Montgomery in their Southern itineary. He is now at work on the proposition in conjunction with the Commercial Club. and hopes to bring it to successful issue.
 MT. Gay stated last night that he wired MT. Jordan on Wednesday even ing to try to come to Montgomery with MT. Smith, on the 10th of September, and that he is expecting a favorable reply.
 In regards to the visit of the spin ners to this city, Mir. Gay stated that the itinerary as arranged includes four stops in Alabama none of which was in Montgomery. In view of the fact that railroad arrangements have already been closed for the Southern trip through Mississippi and Georgia, he does not think that the main body of the spinners will be able to come to Montgomery. but is quite sanguine over getting a representative part of them here at that time.
 While in Atlanta as a delegate to the conference, in both eX-officio capacity and active MT. Gay will endeavor to close all arrangements for the trip.

 Eufaula. Sept. 5.-(Special )--The dispensary commission is deeply grat- flied at the progress the institution is making in this city and indications point to handsome profits.
 While 1t was conceded that the gains would be small for the first four or five months they have so far exceeded the highest expectations of all con- cerned and are growing daily. The net gains since operations began last March are put down at $6,00O. Of this $1,30O was made last month
 In the face of the fact that the in stitution has only been operated during the dullest months in the year it is safe to say that the returns will be much more gratifying during the fall and winter months. 1t is further ac- knowledged that cases of disorder and crime are reported at longer intervals and it is' believed even by those who strongly opposed 1t in the beginning that it is a wonderful improvement over the old bar room regime.
 It has been learned that H. L. Rob- erts. who lost his household effects in the fire that occurred here yesterday morning in the burning of J. E. Foy's residence, held policy of 1.40O of in- surance.
