September is usually damage period

KENTUCKY JAILERS
WANT ELECTROCUTION

Lexington, KY, Sept 5.-Kentucky
jailers, who began meeting here to-
day to complete a state association,
will probably go on record as demand
ing the passage of law providing
that in all cases of capital punishment
the victims should be electrocuted in
one Of the state penitentiaries, instead
of hanged in the county jail.
Practically all of the jailers are
heartily in favor of electrocution as
a means of inflicting the death penalty.
The announced purpose of the new
association is to develop enlighten-
ment in methods of handling prison
ers. 1t is said to be the pioneer or
ganization of its kind in the country.
The sessions will be continued tomor-
row and many questions concerning
the economical and humane care of
prisoners and the sanitation of iails
will be considered.

Jackson, Miss, Sept 4.--Tn response
to call by President Harvey Jordan,
meeting of the executive committee
of the Southern Cotton Growing as
ISOLATION will be held tomorrow to
fix the minimum price OF cotton.
Members Of the association believe
that much better price can be main
tanned this year than last. Hundreds
of bankers throughout the cotton
states have promised President Jordan
their support and cooperation with
the planters in holding cotton to as
slow a movement as is possible to
maintain a high level of prices.
President Jordan has advised the
farmers to check the usually heavy
avalanche of cotton on the market in
September. October and November, to
avoid decrease in prices such as
always follows a congestion.
The members of the association will
store their crop, when able to do SO,
