The plans for organizing the company
are engaging our attention at the present
time and we have not yet reached the
stage where the selection of officers IS
necessary. The matter of organizing a
corporation to be capitalized at Sl0O000O
is no small proposition, and has to be
considered carefully.

the Southern Cotton association on ac-
count of a great pressure of other bust
ness that is calling for my immediate
attention, and had no idea that | Was
considered as a probable officer of the
Southern Cotton company until | saw
something of it in paper today
Joseph II. Hoadley who was also con-
nected with the organization of the hoid-
ing company, according to rumof, de-
MED any connection with the movement
when seen at the Hotel Hillman last
night. He said that he was taking no
hand in the matter and that the rumor
was without foundation.
