civil service examination. the papers for
which are said to have been made out by
the other brother, who was filling gov
eminent position at Washington. James
sought and secured the job at ST. Louis.
The similarity in handwriting of the
brother here and that appearing on the ex-

the disclosure of the alleged conspiracy.

Holding for Extreme Prices.

Cotton planters have been urged from
time to time to hold for extreme prices,
but it is doubtful if the adoption Of
to their advantage. 1t must never be
lost sight of by the growers that this
staple supplies the clothing for the poor
est people Of the world in every cOun-
try, and that 1t supplies more particular
ly to the 700, 600, 600 in Indi aand China
to whom great rise in price certainly
means Limitation of their purchasing
power, with a consequently reduced en-
ployment for the spinners and manu-
facturers of the world, upon whom the
growers of cotton are dependent.
ut has been the aim of all engaged
IN the manufacturing of cotton for many
by taking full advantage of science and
invention, and great economies have been
effected / think 1T would be well If
this example were followed by the grow
ers of our raw material.
Great efforts have been made during
recent years to develop cotton growing
In the colonies and dependencies of Eu-
ropean nations, and although 1 am of
the opinion that the progress will be
slow, there is little doubt that any at
tempt of the American growers to main
tain prices at an abnormally high level
will have the effect of giving an in
creased stimulus to these efforts and
progress may consequently be much
more rapid than under normal condi-
tons"

The Proper Marking Of Cotton.

1.-THE proper marking of cotton should
be insisted upon. The cotton world needs
a uniform bill of lading. which states au-
thenticated facts regarding shipments and
affords adequate protection to the own
ers of the cotton and the banks that help
them to finance the crop.
Il am heartily in sympathy with the
report recently issued by committee of
the New York Cotton Exchange on the
certification Of cotton in southern ware
houses and improved classification as to
grade and staple. This would. in my
opinion, tend to control speculation and
at the same time make the New York
contract more serviceable to spinners,
both as hedge and for actual con-
sumption.
ITO what extent government reports
and statistics are helpful or injurious
and how they can be made more useful
are also questions Of great interest which
are on the program for debate"
Mr.. Macoll requested earnest considera-
ton of the question of trading in futures
and speculation resulting therefrom.
In conclusion he urged as the most
important thing that the conference
could accomplish the formation Of
permanent International organization Of
growers and SpnnerS.

Brief History of Federation.

He gave a brief history of the fedora
ton and objects OF the association, and
said:
zone important object which those of us
who are American citizens, whether
growers or spinners, have in view. Is to
demonstrate to our European friends, who
consume two-thirds Of the crop, the won
derful resources yet undeveloped in the
southern states for the production Of the
raw material. We want them to see for
themselves that America will grow all the
cotton that the world needs; on the other
hand it is desirable for the growers, by
personal contact with the spinners. to
realize that If they are to maintain their
supremacy, there must be a forward
movement in the direction of the removal
of so-called abuses that now exist in the
growing, handling and marketing Of their
product.
1.-The planter, If he wants to sell direct
to the spinners must in some way do the
work of the middleman and have the
same financial responsibility; he must
grade, carry and finance the cotton as
the merchant does now.
"All admit that the time has now come
for definite suggestion and prompt action
to effect needed reforms. To this end we
should discuss gin COMPRISING which
would effect an enormous saving In trans
portation and insurance, and enable the
overburdened railroads to move more ex-
pedtttously the ever-increasing crop.

markets of the world met at the state
capitol in Atlanta today in the interna-
tional conference of cotton growers and
manufacturers. During the three days
sessions of the conference questions of
the utmost Importance to growers and
consumers will be discussed. and action is
looked for that will radically change for

growing the great staple of the south.
Fully 500 delegates were present when
President James r. Macoll of Providence,
r. l., called the meeting to order, former

ing among those in attendance. The bod
les forming the international conference
are the National Spnners Association,
the Farmers Union, the Southern Cotton
Association and the Interstate Cottonseed
Crushers' Association.
The morning session of the conference
was taken up largely with addresses of
welcome and responses and the appoint
ment of committees of two members from
each of the four organizations represented
at the conference to nominate permanent
officers and select chairmen and vice
chairmen of the sectional committee.
1t Is in these sectional meetings that
much of the actual work of the conference
will be done. These committees met for
the first time this afternoon. and tomor7
row reports from them will be presented
to the main body for discussion and
action.
Mr.. Macoll. in his opening address, out
lined the objects of the conference. and
made suggestions for the elimination of
differences between grower and spinner
