 Matters Discussed.

Memphis, December 25.-(Special)-Ar- engagements to reduce cotton acreage in 1908 and decision as to definite fin- ancial policy that will, If possible, avoid such conditions as now confront cot ton growers, will be the main issue be- fore the meeting of the National Farmers Educational and Co-Operative Union in this city, January 7-S-9
 Memphis has been definitely chosen as the meeting place of the convention, and letters of notification to delegates, an- nouncing the dates have been mailed by B. G. West, Memphis representative of the union.
 It is planned to hold the business ses- sions in the Goodwin Institute building. Final arrangements for the use of the building have not been completed, ac- cording to c. c. oglivie superintendent. but he declares they will be without a doubt.
 Selection of Delegates.
 Headquarters for delegates and visitors will be established at the Business Men s club. The Business Mems club Cotton and Merchants exchanges have joined in the plans to uphold the reputation of Memphis for hospitality. and will aid in every way to make the convention a success
 Delegates to the convention are ap- pointed from each cotton growing county in the country. Many counties also send delegations of prominent growers At tendance at national conventions has ranged from 800 to 5000. An earnest eff fort is being made to get as many as possible at the Memphis meeting, as the feet the cotton industry for the next season President c. s. Barrett of Att lanta, Ga., is. expected to arrive early to help shape legislation.
 Acreage Reduction Certain.
 There is no doubt about reducing cot ton acreage for 1s08,' said MT. West in telling of the proposed work of the con vention. Action has been taken by enough unions to insure that some re- impossible to give definite figures. Some have passed resolutions advocating 10 per cent reductions. Some favor 20 per cent, while others are still higher. There is no guess work about the question of reduction. It is sure to come
 Something definite will also be done in regard to the matter of financial policy. One thing is sure the union can't put up with such conditions as have confronted them in the past. They will either, arrange to prevent repetition of such conditions as have existed this season, or will try to get along without any credit favors at all"

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE

a great measure indicates a Demo
cratic victory next year, New York
and New Jersey will be the great
battle ground, with the result depend
ing upon the independent vote in
both States. The question Of an at.
tractive Presidential candidate 20 APP
peal to those independent voters will
be paramount when both the conven.
lions of the great parties meet. At
the same time the feelings of the
rank and file of both parties must be
considered by the political managers,
for neither party can afford to have any
serious schism to cause loss of votes,
so the nominees and the platforms
must be generally approved by the
regular party followers, Such condi.
tons will put the party managers to
their trumps, and should result in
both conventions nominating their
most available men, instead of the
successful factions riding roughshod
over the other faction. The defeat
of Congressman Burton by Tom John
son will help to eliminate Taft and
aid the Foraker faction in Ohio. 1t
will also bring Tom Johnson to the
front as a possible candidate for Pres
ident upon whom the Democrats can
unite. How the party leaders in New
York, New Jersey and other doubtful
States would view Tom Johnson as
the candidate it is too early to decide.
He may be thought too radical i'm
some Of his views, but there is not
much doubt that the great mass of
Democrats everywhere would rally to
his standard, if they arrive at the
conclusion he can best unite the
party. Tom Johnson is friendly with
Mr.. Bryan, although he does not en-.
dorse Mr.. Bryans view of the neces.
sity Of Government ownership of rail
roads, but is an ardent advocate of
ownership Of public utili.
ties. He is a single taXer and Il free
trader in theory, but uses his efforts
for equal taxation of all alike. Tom
Johnson believes faithfully in that

an inch lower than the lowest precipila-

Of March in 1902. when the precipitation
was but 20 OF an inch and in 1908, when IL
was but IS Of an inch. Yet the growing
