Richmond, Va, Nov. 6.-As a sequel TO
the Potter-Ferguson incident, in which
these two white and colored Episcopal
Church dignitaries broke bread together
at the private table OF the New Yorker
during the recent convention OF the Epis-
copal Church in this city, comes the
confirmation OF the report that the Afri-
can bishop was present at a reception
rendered in honor Of the Lord Bishop OF
London at the gubernatorial mansion,
when several women guests were startled
by being presented 10 the negro prelate.
In an interview tonight the governor
said that while he was sorry that the
incident had come to the attention OF the
public at ali. It being far from his desire
to do or say anything that might wound
the feelings Of the Bishop Of Africa, he
desired it 10 be distinctly understood
that he had instructed his servants to
inform Bishop Ferguson. if he should
appear, that the reception was distinctly
social function and that the presence
or colOred man, under the circum-
stances. would not be tolerated. Bishop
Ferguson managed to get through the
line Of servants.
A case somewhat analogous, but far
more irritating, occurred at the executive
mansion during the administration Of Gov.
O'Ferral, when that executive gave an
afternoon collation. 10 a party OF Massa-
chusetts legislators. among whom was a
negro by the name of Teamoh. An at
tempt was made 10 introduce this man 10
several ladies who were in attendance.
Gov o Ferral was greatly enraged at the
incident, but decided. when confronted
with the situation. that he could not af-
ford 10 create a scene.

BUY COTTON, HE SAYS.
Representative AdamsOn Points Way

Representative W c. Adamson. OF
Georgia. in speaking OF the financial
needs Of the South. said:
The aid of the Treasury. and the in
genuity Of capitalists have been invoked
TO steady financial circles and avert dis
aster in business centers. The Treasury
has also been requested to aid banks in
handling cotton in the South where. un-
der the influences OF financial disturb
ances elsewhere a crop Of the staple
which must clothe the world. is being sac
rihced at about 90 per cent Of its true
value; but the Treasury has failed to
respond TO that appeal.
ION a basis of current prices Of cotton
goods, cotton ought 10 bring from u 10 20
cents per pound. The small crop. not
more than 100000 bales. probably not
exceeding Il. 100000. ought 70 bring AT
least Is cents. These statements are con-
CURED in by all who know the facts and
are not interested in making contrary esti-
mates Small farmers In debt cannot
hold their cotton because small rner-
chants who supplied them are also IN
debt to small banks, which are being
pressed to pay their debts. There are
plenty Of investors North who. having
lost IN stocks and bonds. hesitate TO in
vest IN securities. There is lots OF money.

posted, which ought 10 be doing good in
the country and earning other money.
1t is reasonably certain that a sure
profit of 30 per cent can be realized in
three or four months by investing idle
money in spot cotton in the South. That
would stimulate the cotton market and
hr.s.. a.
mote general prosperity as well as indi-
vidual profits by inSuring a just and fair
price for the cotton crop. Liberal invest
