but concluded argument Friday af-
ternoon on the already famous Cen
trail Of Georgia passenger rate case.
Shortly before noon Mr.. Spooer en-
tered upon the final effort Of the
road 5 counsel to tear down the two
underlying contentious of the State in
its enforcement of the railway COM
missicn's orders: that the road has no
case under the law, and that the
United States circuit court has no ju-
risdiction.
The first of these contentious the
attorneys for the State had support
ed by citing the fact that so far the
road had not violated the order for
reduced passenger rates, and that
therefore not having made itself even
liable to prosecution, much less hav-
ing actually been prosecuted, it lad
so far no grievance to bring irto
court. The court therefore could not
take jurisdiction over such q case.
These arguments ex-senator Spoon
er attempted to answer by drawing
distinctions between common law and
equity, and from this point reason
ing that since the Central of Georgia
has, according to the commissions at
torney, no remedy in common law, the
United States court is called upon,
and has the right to take jurisdiction.
In the same way he passed into the
second stage Of his argument, which
was this: that If q court has equitable
jurisdiction, it may then enjoin gov
ernor from committing trespass just
as in other cases it has enjoined gov
ernors under certain circumstances
from continuing trespass.
Attorneys for the State declared
after the conclusion Of Mr.. Spooner's
argument, when the court adjourned
for dinner, that no breach had been
made in their argument, and that the
State has clreadv won its case.

committee reports which were not
disposed Of at the morning session.
The first business Of the afternoon
session was the consideration Of the
question of effecting permanent or
ganization. The several presidents
of the organization composing the
conference reported unanimously in
favor Of maintaining permanent or
ganization, and Herr Kuffler, Of vi
emma, chairman of the present COM
mittee on organization, submitted a
report recommending that each or
ganization elect two delegates to serve
on the permanent organization COM
mittee. which committee shall serve
in an advisory capacity, the delegates
Of each organization representing the
views of that organization, and set
tling all matters of detail which may
arise from time to time between spin
ner and grower; to hold meetings
when occasion arises, and to report
upon the necessity of holding other
general conferences from time to
time; that the president Of the gen.
eral conference he elected by this
committee, any member of either Of
the organizations composing it being
eligible to the presidency.
Sea Island Growers Admitted.
This rep,.rt was adopted, after
which, on motion of Harvie Jordan,
president of the Southern Cotton AS
sociation, the Sea Island Cotton
Growers Association was admitted to
membership. This will give America
eight members of the committee,
while the nine European countries
represented will have only four be-
tween them.
The remainder of the session was
devoted to the consideration and
adoption of the following reports:
transportation.
This committee, Of which S. Col

J. Allen, Of Manchester, secretary,
adopted a report which recommends
that labels be attached tn each bale,
or that same be attached so that it
may be traced to the grower and the
compress from which it comes; that

SPINNERs GO ON TOUR OF THE
SOUTH
Great Conference of Growers and
Manufacturers Accomplish much
Practical Good.

That practical results and great
benefits to the cotton industry will
be realized from the conference be-
tween the English, Continental and
American cotton spinners and the
Southern cotton growers, whose final
session was held at the State capitol
Wednesday afternoon, was the opin-
ion of the leading foreign and do
mestic spinners and the Southern
growers.
On the one hand the spinners have
been brought face to face with the
growers, and have heard by word of
mouth the duficulies with which they
have to contend, and their desires,
and tue growers have learned from
the spinners that method of prepar-
ing their cotton for the consumer,
which best suits the purposes Of the
manufacturer. AS an instance of the
practical value of this, the discns-
sion Of the type of bale in which
cotton should be packed brought out
the information that 95 per cent of
the English spinners who use the
greatest portion of the crop, prefer
the square bale of the Egyptian type.
This type Of bale is also preferred
by the American spinner, Charles B.
Amory, of Boston, representing other
eastern spinners, informing the con-
ference that the interests he reepre-
sented used $4,000 bales of cotton, an
nually, and that he would pay ST
more per bale for gin compressed cot
ton of the Egyptian type of bale. The
Continental spinners, on the other
hand, expressed a preference for the
round bale, but signifed their willing
ness to accept cotton packed in either
the square or round bale.

ference convened at o'clock We'd
