Interesting Discussions in
Wake Cotton Associa-
ton Yesterday.

Though the early morning gave
promise of a bad day yesterday AMI
many farmers were kept at home by
lie bad roads, yet the Weke County
Cotton Association received a hearty
welcome at Cary and a good crowd
attended its meeting.
Mr.. Z. F. Upchurch welcomed the
Association to Cary in we'll ehosei:
and happy words, saying amo1gs other
things, that the people of Cary were
heart and soul with the Assoc alton
in its work and not only wished it sue
cess but would aid the Association in
achieving it.
President Green responded to the adj
dress of welcome and then proceeded
with his address to the Association i'm
which he said that the present price
Of cotton was not a big price for cot
ton in comparison with the increased
price of everything else; that con
sumption of cotton was increasing at
the rate of five hundred thousand bales
per year; that in ten years the world
WOuld be using eighteen million bales
of cotton per year; that the South
had a monopoly of cotton growing
and would keep it.
Mr.. T. 3. Parker in discussing the
warehouse plan said n a he was in
very close touch with the farmer and
the farming interests. That cotton
can be Kept out in the open on the
farm for awhile but that the sumne
ain and sun soon cauSe deteriOra-
ton, and that spectators know hat
this cotton must go to the market.
1t should be warehOused. He knows Of
cotton kept in warehouse for fifty
years without any deterioration.
Spoke of advantages of w~arehousing
and obtaining loans when cotton was
low n it was not desirable to mar
ket. Said that the Cotton Associa-
ton has gained two hundred million
dollars for the farmers of the South
at q cost of fifty thousand dollars:
that cotton is the handspring OF all
the movements for progress in the
South.
A great dea, of interest was mani
tested in the address of Prof. j.. G.
kendall on dairying.
Prof. Kendall said there were 224.-
900 farms in the State. and of thiS
numbe only 119 were dairy farms.
That the products Of these dairv
farms amount to six million dollars a
year. Small towns usually make
their supplies OF milk and butter but
large towns buy out of the State. All
cheese sold in Raleigh is made in dist
ant states hose soil and climate are
no better for d2irying than North car
olina's. We ship cotton seed meal to
northern markets and buy butter.
Wake County ought to produce all
dairy products used in the county.
That in the towns there should be
established central product plants and
the milk carried There and made into
butter and cheese. In this wav a uni
form product would be had. Farmers
should cooperate in establishing these
dairies and improving breeds of cattle.
A telegram was read from DR.. TAFT
Butler regretting his absence.
The meeting then adjourned after
instruction to the president to arrange
for the next meeting.

nouncement Saturday by ex-Rrepresentatiye
George Fred Williams that he is opposed
to the nomination Of Henry NJ Whitney as
the democratic candidate for governor of
massachusetts,, and will work against his
election if he receives the nomination. was
followed last night by a reply from Mr..
Whitney.
The reply says in effect that Mr.. Whit
ney's candidacy has been actively prose-
cuted since last May, and that the recent
absence of Mr.. Williams in Europe has left
him out of touch with the present situa-
ton.
Mr.. Whitney says, further that the only
purpose Of his candidacy is to advance the
cause Of tariff revision and reciprocity with
Canada In discussing the proposed merger
of the New York, New Haven, and Hart
ford and Boston and Maine railroads.
reference to which was made by Mr. VIII
lams, Mr.. Whitney says that his cand.-
dacy has no relation to this matter, except
that as a business man he believes that
such merger II lawful under Federal
law. and II made under proper safeguards,
would be good thing for the business in
terests and for the people Of this state.
This personal opinion of mine do not seek
to impose upon the democratic party or to
have embodied in its platform. l do not

FAIR ADJUSTMENTS
JACKSON SPENDS DAY WITH As-
 ISOLATION AUTHORITIES.
Is Representing Big Company and Is Making Hid for Attractions Dur- ing week of the Annual
 Expedition.

It is expected that the executive committee of the Montgomery Agrt- cultural Association will reach a de- cision the early part of next week on the attractions which are to be brought to the State Fair at Vandiver Park next fall.
 In connection with a decision as to amusements, R. E. Rickson. represent ing one of the largest and most up to date amusement companies in the eoun- try spent yesterday in Montgomery in conference with members of the ex- ecutive committee and Robert Tait,sec- retary of the association.
 Mir Tait said that the circuit of fair associations expects, through sort of pooling, to be in position to secure much better fair attractions than have ever been seen before in this section of the country. With all of the associations on the southern clr- cult acting in harmony, the attraction problem 1t Is believed, has been solv- ed. The idea was conceived and caP- ried into effect at the meeting of the fair association secretaries in Borming- ham a day or two ago. Mir. Tait be- lieves the executive committee will decide on the amusement feature the beginning of next week.
 While in Montgomery, Mir. Rickson looked at the new theatre which is being built on Dexter avenue.
 Tt seems that the theatre is going to be a fine structure" said MT. Rick son. "Of course, a person cannot yet form any idea as to what 1t will look like. Having seen several theatres built, I can say that believe 1t will be all right. Now you notice, there seems to be a great deal of woodwork but. If am not mistaken, this is all what Is known as false woodwork" and will come out as soon as the build ing is well under way"
 My firm puts out a long string of vaudeville attractions and we have long been thinking of getting into Montgomery. and. of course. while here, I thought would just like to look around to see what was in pro- gress. We are pushing our business to- ward the South, especially in those cities where we send our fair amuse- ments"
 Mir Rickson left Montgomery last night.
