 CAPTAIN ROBINSON
CAPTAIN ROBINSON
Vice President Will Call on Local Business Men-General Organizer Coming to Arkansas to Make Sc. rieS of Addresses.

The following letter was recently received by Captain C. T. Robinson, vice president of the Arkansas divis- ion of the Southern Cotton Associa- ton, from B. H. Burnett, president of the Arkansas division. The letter is self-explanatory. It reads:
 Dear Sr:--At the Birmingham convention it was unanimously agreed that the Southern Cotton association was strictly business organization whose object was to protect the in- terests of our great staple-cotton, and by united action. to maintain a fair price for the same, and thus se- cure to our own people the fruits of their labor. It was also shown that the merchants and bankers were ul- timately and largely the beneficiaries with the cotton grower, in the gen. . eral prosperity resulting from good price for cotton; and that therefore, they should finance the organization. Looking at it from this standpoint there was a resolution offered and unanimously adopted asking each banker, manufacturer and wholesale merchant to contribute five ($5.00) dollars, and each retail merchant to contribute two and half ($2.50) dol lars, annually for the support of the cause Of course there are some who will not give this amount, but, l be- lieve-and it was the unanimous opinion of the delegates-that large majority of the business men will do so.
 'I would suggest that you take this matter up with the business men in your part of the state at once, to the end that I may get some funds with which to carry on the work.
 "I desire that you, or some one appointed by you shall call upon each firm in the several cities and towns, taking the names of all, whether they Ontribute or not, so we can tell who Nware our friends, and know who 7. for and who is against this great movement for the protection of South ern interests. It might be we'll for you to have an article published in the several newspapers throughout your portion of the state putting the business men on notice that they are to be called upon in this behalf.
 T am writing E. D. Smith, our general organizer, by this mail, ask ing him to indicate the time at which he will come to this state and make a series of speeches for us. 1 de- Sire to have one of those dates in your city, and would thank you to suggest to me one or two more places m the black belt that in your opinion would be good places for him to speak AS soon as I hear from him l will notify you and ask you to give me your assistance in giving those dates proper publicity MT. Smith IS an eloquent orator,-as Messrs AndreWs and Walker of your city will testlfy'-and all that will be neces- LAeary' will be to get the people out
 hear him."
 III obedience to the above instruc- slons captain Robinson will call on aii local people for subscriptions to 'nas important movement. Every oth- er interest is organized for self-pro- 'ece1on' then why not organize the

The suit arising cut of the effort to con-
solidate the cities of Pittsburg and Allie
gheny was decided by the Supreme Court
of the United States today in favor of the
consolidation. the opinion of the court
being handed down by Justice Moody.
In his opinion Justice Moody went at
length into the objections by the people
of Allegheny that were made against the
consolidation and showed one by one that
the constitutional questions raised would
not justify federal court in interfering.
The Pennsylvania supreme court upheld
the law. and Justice Moody's opinion af-
firmed that ruling.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The Presidents announcement OF the
governments plan for furnishing help to
the world of business as we'll AS the de-
tails of the plan itself served to give a
firmer tone to the New York Stock Mar
ket today at the opening. II may be IN
ferred from this that 1t Is the opinion of
financiers to get expected relief from the
proposed measures. What is needed in
the large business centers and also In
the outlying towns at present is a larger
volume of money available for circula-
tion.
1t is not expected the issue of 2 per
cent Panama Canal bonds will be as ef-
fective in one way as the wide distriou-
ton of the per cent certificates having
one year to run and issued in $50 de-
nomination. 1t Is supposed the latter will
prove to be an attractive proposition. es-
pecially to those people who have cash
On hand for which they are getting no
interest. BY turning their money into the
new certificates they will be exchanging
for what yields them no interest some
thing that will. and as 1t IL a government
obligation it will be just as secure as the
money itself with the additional advantage
Of affording a revenue.
1t Is supposed that the canal bonds will
be taken by the banks and will form
the basis of additional bank note circu-
lation. and II that is done then the mar
ket will be relieved to that extent. AL
together the two phases of the govern
ment plan bear all the marks of being
able to accomplish the end sought. which
Is, of course. relieving the present dearth
of actual cash.
In this city the acute stage of the stu
alton has not been felt. owing to the con-
ditiOns which prevail here. especially OF
the semi-monthly payments made to gov
ernment employees. which. of course. are
always In cash. thus adding to the local
supply which Is not subjected to. heavy
drains arising from the need of funds to
provide for the pay rolls Of large indus
trial establishments.
1t seems probable that. due to the rea-
sons above noted and also because Of the
essentially sound business conditions In
this country, there will soon come a
time when, as some one said recently,
there will be more courage and encour-
agement displayed.
The usual daily call of the stock ex-
change today did not result in anything Of
interest either in the way of changes In
the figures or in an enlarged volume OF
trading.
