subject of the duties devolving upon
the members as well as upon the peO-

a lecture with good citizenship as its
theme than a threat of dire punish

should be suppressed by a healthy

to the court room, which attests the
esteem in which he is held by our

fills.
The court was occupied mainly this
week i'll hearing numerous cases of
violations of the revenue laws in the
sale and manufacture of liquors, of
which there are always quite a num-
Der, but lawlessness in that respect
as well as in others is perceptibly on
the decrease in this portion of the

At the international conference OF
cotton growers and manufacturers
in session at Atlanta Tuesday, Mr..
Coates, of England, said that he
represented % spinners with 6, 200,
900 spindles, and that he was ready
to take ut any time it was offered
5000, 900 worth of cotton direct from
growers. This was intended as an
argument to get rid of the middle
man or specuIator, and on its face
sounds generous and patriotic But
two or more parties are always
necessary to a sale and purchase,
and Mr.. Coates said nothing about
the price to be paid. which of course
must be agreed upon between the
producer and spinner The middle
man or Spectator, who keeps the
market boosted TO the highest quo
tations, having been eliminated,
Mr.. Spinner has the grower and
owner at a great disadvantage and
only offers what he pleases for the
staple. That viii be the condition

deal with no others but the spinners
