Warehouse Committee.

The warehouse committee reported as
follows:
Resolved, That your committee APP
proves and encourages the building of
cotton warehouses in the south.
And we recommend the Warehouse and
Holding company be placed on a business
basis at the earliest possible time and
secure by lease or purchase or build
large central warehouses where needed
for concentration of cotton and where
certificates of 100-bale lots. even grade
and staple, could be issued; that these
central warehouses be modern and COM
mand the lowest possible rates of insur-
ance and interest; and that warehouses
be constructed in the smaller towns in
conformity with their requirements; and
that this Warehouse and Holding COM
pany, through its official head, be au-
thorlzed to buy and sell cotton, and that
any time tho market is forced ! cent per
pound lower than the minimum price
named by the Southern Cotton assoca-
ton, 1t shall be bought by parties proper
ly authorized to purchase for account of
the Warehouse and Holding company and
then sent to the nearest warehouse In
good condition that 1t may secure bank
Ing. insurance and storage privileges.
We believe and suggest that special
finance committee of three in each state
be authorized to arrange for the pur-
chase of this cotton. and also make bank
ing arrangements for its protection to be
carried until ready to be sold; that In
every instance the planter and owner
be induced If possible. to place the cot
ton in warehouses for his own account
and with the receipt get the money him
self on his cotton until such time as
it will sell at or over the minimum price

Committee on Organization.
The committee on organization reported
as follows:
Birmingham, January 10, 1907.
The past season seems to pave created
more of sentiment throughout the south
than organization. While in some states
and In some sections of those states the
work has progressed, we have found a
disposition to hold back and walt the
action of uhe other fellow. And it has
been difficult for the men most expert
enced and talented in this world to secure
enough money to pay expenses, and yet
we find that there lays dormant in the
heart of nearly every man in the south
the feeling that the Southern Cotton as
ISOLATION has done n splendid work, and
that it would be a calamity to the south
for 1t TO pass out of existence, and that
they do owe duty and the money neces-
sary to keep up this organization and
place 1t on a business basis that will per-
petuate 1t as the south's guardian of the
peoples best interests for all time to
come. We offer this resolution;
Resolution Is Offered.

local papers the enthusiasm and work Of
this convention ON that line, and to talk
and inform the people in his community;
and
Resolved, That we believe every man in
the south should pay or contribute some
thing tovIrds the maintenance of and
support of this organization, and that 1t

Committee on Acreage

The acreage committee reported as fol-
lows
Mr.. President: Your committee on acre
age, after due consideration, beg leave
to make report as follows:
In view of the fact that "A great many
farmers have adopted the intensive sys-
tenn of farming, increasing the yield per
acre and new territory each year Is be
ing planted in cotton that heretofore has
not grown cotton, thereby increasing the
production, therefore in order to maintain
satisfactory and remunerative prices we
urge and recommend a full reduction Of
10 per cent of cotton acreage for the
year 1907.
We further recommend that the acre
age so reduced be planted in food crops.
We are sure that unless the farmers
unitedly reduce their acreage of cotton
that they will be confronted at the end of
the season with equally bad, if not worse,
conditions than they were in 1904, when
cotton went down to cents per pound.
Respectfully submitted by the commit
tee on cotton acreage.

HITCHCOCK THINKS
 MORE PAY NEEDED Postoffices of West On Be Im- proved Only By Raising
 Salaries of Employees,
(Phoenix Democrat.)

Postmaster General Hitch -s1eA- hoe -natnrnad fn Washington from A trip through the west and mas come to the conclusion that the only way to get efficient service in the post-offices oe the west is to raise salaries
 This is what Postmaster McClin- tock and other western postmasters have been telling the Washington authorities for a long time, sor post office employees have been quitting jobs for positions in civil life where the pay was better until 1t was al most impossible to run the post-oflces in @ satisfactory manner
 This trouble has been experienced in Arizona for years, and it is the same in Douglas, Bisbee and else where in this part of the country. Douglas was unable to establish free delivery for many months because nobody would take the positions os carriers for the salaries offered by the government
 This Is to be changed, for Hitch. cock has found out a few things as a result of his trip through the ~es. which he took with view Of ascer- taining at first hand the conditions that prevail in the postal service in that part of the country.
 The difficulty has been experienced by the postoffice department for a considerable time In retaining the ser. vices of efficient and experienced em ployes The condition prevails partie, elarly in the mining regions of the Rocky mountains, where everything including labor. Is high.
 sIn several instances, said Hitch cock in Washington, D. C., recently, q learned that postmasters paid con. siderable sums of money out of theiI own pockets to maintain the postal service in their own towns At. Gold field. New, tor instance, the postmas ter has paid out in this way more money than he has received in sal sry. He said to me: I found this condition when came into the office and now propose to see it through
 That was e manifestation of pure American grit. but it is unfortunate that such a situation should arise There is no way by which Postmaster Collins can be reimbursed unless con gress should pass special act for nis relief"
 It ia Hifchcok's purpose to advocate the adoption by congress of ar amendment to the graded salary las providing that in exceptional in stances postmasters. on a propel showing to the department. may b. allowed to pay salaries to clerks and carriers as of higher grade thar they hold in order that their services may be retained

DR FERGUSON IS
 TAKEN ID KANSAS Injured By LunaticI Physicians Order Him Away From
 Scene for a While.
(Phoenix Gazette.l

DF. Ray Ferguson, superintendent of the insane asylum, left last night for his old home in Wellington, has., accompanied by Mrs. Ferguson.
 Doctor Ferguson's physicians or dered him to Kansas in order that he might get his mind off his business, thus hastening his complete recovery from the effects of the attack made upon aim nearly three weeks ago by Jeff Woods, an insane patient.
 Woods made a violent attack upon Dr. Ferguson with an axe and had in- jured him severely, though not fatally, before arrested in his mad frenzy.
 His victim was in a sub-conscious condition for 6 day or two, but since has been recovering as rapidly as could have been expected He per sisted. however. in worrying about the affairs of the asylum, in which he was much interested His physicians Drs. WyIie and Redewili, decided that 1t would be necessary to get aim out of the country for short time.
 Reports have been started in the city from time to time that Dr. Fer guson was in precarious condition MT. Roberts, the steward Of the asy lum, when seen today by a Gazette representative, said:
 "Why. there Is not word of truth in those reports. If he were neal dead we would not be rushing him oti to Kansas. There is not the slightest doubt of his ultimate recovery"

the extreme edge of towa, with an expanse of desert stretching oit tO the south. The Mexicans, three or four in number, had secreted them. selves in the midst of some trees which grew near the school house, and made their hostile demonstra- tions from that point of vantage.
 A telephone call sent Officei Perrin hurrying to the scene of distur Dance. When within about two blocks of the school he was stopped by a pedes- trian who informed him as 10 the pre- else location of the Mexicans and vol unteered to aid in effecting their cap ture. The plan of action proposed py the stranger was that he and the of ficer should go to the place by differ ent directions, thus surrounding the enemy as nearly as possible.
 He then went hurrying away as fasr as he could go, and Officer Perrin proceeded upon his way toward the proposed meeting place.
 As he neared the thiclet of trees he dismounted, and. leaving his wheel, cautiously advanced toward the spot from where he could hear the pistol shots and the yells of the MexicauT in the midst of their drunken orgy. When he was almost upon them the Mexicans, whether apprised Le forehand of the coming of he officer of the Jaw, or whether seeing him almost upon them with his gun ready for action, at any rate snddeDiy ceased firing, and dashed away at top speed across the desert beyoad.
 Commands to halt and desultory shots in their direction had only the effect ot increasing their speed and dodging Ike jackrabblts through ! tangie of brush. through which It was impossible for the officer to ga wIth bis wheel, they disappeared from view. Hardly had they gotten out of sight when a man rose put O. ditch which extends between the school house and the desert. and brushed of his clothes with the nervous air ot a man badly frightened. He told of coming along the road during luli In the firing and being compelled to lie down in the ditch to keep from be- ing seen by the Mexicans. whom he feared would shoot him If they caught sight of him. and of remaining there while the bullets whizzed by over his head.

T don't care If 1t hasn't lock. stnck or barrei-I always feel shivery ghen one is aimed in my direction. And yet I have heard the bullets wilzz many time. as an officer always does at some time or other while fn- gagged in the performance of his duty"

 Messrs. Kenney ana ncFarland, e1. perienced Colorado miners, have driv- en 100 feet on their tunnel, lease on the Galero, belonging to the Nacozari Consolidated and have raised to the surface, about sixty five feet, for ven. tilstion and for the purpose of block. ing out ore. This bit of development work was on a ledge about two feet wide with a six-inch pay streak, from which, in the course of development, they have taken out about sixty tons of shipping ore, principally patanqli and steel galena, running about 500 ounces of silver to the ton. They will nov begin to stope and ship.
 Brooks, aother leaser On the Galero, in a short tunnel near camp, has a foot of highly metaiiiferous matter, carrying iron and zinc and running several hundred ounces in silver. The new tunnel, begun by the com pany for development purposes, Is just well under way and is already in ledge matter running a few per cent in copper.
 The main company shaft on the Copper King, where they expect to catch the Pilares ore body, was down eighteen feet when Mr. Alexander left and the iron gosson on which they be. gan to sink was giving way to silica permeated with seams of high grade copper ore. The management consld CT conditions even better than they could have predicted for this stage of the work
 i John Guaghran is in charge of the work and. notwithstanding the ugIy furry in copper and financial circles in the states. the new company will continue to augment their force and expand their development operations without the slightest Interruption.
 As matters look now, they expec, some good developments in less than hundred feet in the main shaft which, If anything. is on a continua ton of the Piiares ore body.
 The holdings of the company havs been Increased to 5e pertenencias.
