MONEY TO MOVE COTTON.
New Orleans Bankers Visit Washington

New Orleans, Oct. 30.-An-
nouncelnent that relief is in pros

European markets was made to-
night by the association of three
New Orleans banks, representing
the clearing house here, who have
been i'd Washington and New

week, negotiating to this end.
The BANKERS making this announce.
ment would not allow their names
to be used, nor would they give
any details. However, they said
the committees efforts had been
directed to opening up foreign
exchange at some reserve center.

TEXAS WON'T Be QUIET.

In spite of the alleged ''vindi-
cation received from the Texas
Legislature last winter by Senator
Joe Bailey, the Senator and his
unsavory Waters-P Pierce and
Standard Oil record continue to
occupy the middle of the political
stage in the Lone Star State. Re-
Gently there has been a fresh out
break which promises to grow in
volume and intensity until
another Legislature is elected and
the people have chance to say by
their votes whether they want
any more of Bailey or not.
A question is never settled un-
til it is settled right, and the
white-washing the Texas Senator
secured last winter by forcing
his election by the Legislature un-
der instructions given before his
treachery to his constituents was
discovered, has never satisfied the
people and press of Texas, and
they are demanding re-openlng
of the question with voice aad
persistency that no amount of
brass, buster and denunciation of
Che Senator can quell. In short,
instead of being able to quiet all
Texas parties" as he was once ex-
pected to do by Henry Clay
Pierce, the st. Louis oil magnat e
the din is growing worse all the
time, and there will be a de-
termined and concerted movement
by Texas Democrats to drive the
Senator from public life.

Prohibition Will be Enforced in Birm.
ineham.

Birmingham, Oct. i29. Revised
returns from yesterdays local op-
tion election held in this county,
show a majority of 1857 for pro-
hibition, with eight rural boxes
yet to report. The total vote in
the boxes reported was 5 ,4S9 for
prohibition, and 1882 against it.
1t is expected that the missing
boxes will increase the prohibi.
tion majority to 1890. The
effect of the election will be- to
close 10 saloons in Birmingham
January I next, twenty-four in
Bessemer and about twenty in
Ensley and Pratt City. A law
and order league has already been
formed to see that the prohibition
laws are enforced. A local option
election is being held in Etowah
county, of which Gadsden is the
county seat, today.

BASS CALLS A MEETING.
All County Farmers Unions to Meet
November 9.

In compliance with a call issued
by National President G. S. Bar
rett, of the Farmers Union, Pres
ident j. M. Bass, of the Mississip-
pi division of that organization,
today sent out call for all county
unions in the State to meet at
their respective meeting places on
November 8, for the purpose of
making arrangements for the hold
ing of cotton. All members are
urged to attend these meetings, and
the call-states that instructions as
to the arrangements will be sent
out later.
While Mr.. Bass call does not
say so, President Barrett advises
that, where it is thought best,
they invite non-union farmers
and all others interested in hold
ing cotton to meet with them on
this occasion. He says the
bumpers" have about all sold,
and that finn stand at this time
will win the victory. ''The New
York Exchange he says, "has
sold cotton to our customers, the
spinners, for delivery in Novem-
Der, December, January and Feb
ruary at price far below our
minimum, and must deliver the
goods or put up the cash. The
only thing for the farmers to do
to put them out of business abso-
lutely, is to hold every bale of cot
ton out of their hands. There
has not been enough cotton de-
livered in the last sixty days to
run the mills for this period by
400, 900 bales.''

GoV-elect Noel has announced
that he will in his message to the
legislature, recommend that a
board of pardons be created.
The duties of the members of the
board will be to pass on all appli-
cations for pardons tor convicts.
There are excellent reasons why
such board should be created,
foremost among which would be
the relief that would come to the
governor when freed from this
onerous duty, which would allow
him more time to devote to affairs
more important to the state at
large. 1t is said that about three
fourths of the time of the present
governor is given over to consid-
GRAFTON of pardons.

A Unifying Speech.

Hon. John Sharp Williams, in
his short, ringing speech intro
ducing President Roosevelt at
Vicksburg Monday. told more of
what we are and what we are not
as state, nation, and people than
is generally put in so small a
space.
In unraveling the skein of our
political being, he revealed US all
as standing for the republic and
all therefore republicans. On the
other hand, our republic being a
democratic republic, it follows
necessarily that we are all demo-
Gratis.
More than this. Our republic
not only is democratic republic,
but constitutional democratic
republic, which makes us all con-
stitutionalists; and we, the people,
maintaining as we do a govern
ment of the people, by the people,
and for the people, constituting it
thereby popular or peoples
government, we are necessarily in
that sense all populists.
Our republic is federal repub-
lie, not a consolidated republic.
In ceatain sense,'' y said he,
the federal government is not
the government Of the United
States at all, but a piece of politi-
cal machinery contrived to pro-
tect the several governments of
the United States and the people
residing in them from foreign
and from mutual aggression.
Our federal system permits inf
mite experiment without national
hurt, securing both liberty and
strength by diversity in unity. In
that sense we are all federalists.
In word, we are all American in
all that constitutes devotion to the
bod dypolitic and the essential
soul-politic of the republic" the
worlds best hope. y
Mr.. Williams speech was
splendid one, putting a good deal
in few words, admirably meet
ing all the requirements Of the oc-
casion, capsuling in aptly framed
sentences a statement, some in
gradients of which, less Ingenious
ly made, would doubtless be
|squirmed at-a statement that we
are all federalists, all republicans,
all democrats, all popuilsts, and,
essentially, all good Americans,
thus unifyiug all real and imag-
mary contrarieties, making every
body feel as every body should on
such an occasion 'one and insep-
arabic, now and forever.
He drove dangerously near the
brink, however, when he charac-
terized the written constitution of
the United States as "the pre-
scribing voice of the people de-
marking the boundaries of action
for political machinery" which
written charter it is the sworn
duty of all Office holders ''to main
tain and preserve inyioIate."
This was almost treading on the
distinguished guests toes. The
constitution, as written, is not the
presidents ''long suit. Meri-
dian Dispatch.

The Women and Children Worked for
Prohibition.

Reading the reports from the
closing scenes of the great local
option campaign in Jefferson
county, Ala, which closed Mon
day with glorious prohibition
victory, recalls the memorable To-
cal option campaign in Lincoln
county during the summer of
1886, when the saloons were
driven out never to return, by the
active assistance of the members
of Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union and other good
women. Our good women were
among the most effective workers
in that campaign and ON election
day went to the polls in Brock
haven. Bogue Chitto and some
other precincts and exerted their
influence to the uttermost for the
success of the dry ticket by serv-
ing coffee, lunches and pleading
with voters. The Birmingham
correspondent of the Atlanta
Georgian says, in part:
Out in North Birmingham and
in several other country precincts,
pianos we're brought from near
by homes, and different women
took their places on the stool,
playing accompaniments to the
songs.
Not a man could pass through
the solid array of determined, en-
treating women without being
offered a cup of coffee, a prohibit
tion button, a white ribbon and a
prohibition tract. There proba-
bly, was not man who voted who
was not begged by at least half
dozen women to cast his lot for
prohibition-and if an anti the
possibilities were that a prayer
was Uttered for him on the spot.
1t may not have been according
to some articles of religion, but it
was effective. 1t did the work.
1t was the first time the women
and children of Birmingham ever
turned out at an election, but they
went at it with a will and a de-
termination that never stops this
side of victory. Not stone was
left unturned, not an opportunity
was lost.

JOSEPH THE TERRIBLE
BLOODY TIMES WERE BREWING IN
DALLAS.
Undertakers and Grave Diggers SoreIy
Disappointed.

Special to the Houston Chronicle.l
Texans, oh, Texans, beware OF
the day,
When Joe Bailey shall meet you
in battle array,
For field of the dead rushes
red on my sight
And many long toddies have
been "killed"in the fight.
Dallas, Texas, Oct. %. As this
dispatch is filed the city of Dallas
is still on the map, and the Trim
|ity river is still running, but not
with blood. However, the under
takers are yet in an expectant at
titude, and burial plots have scor-
ed sharp advance on the outlook
for increased demand.
Last Friday at Abilene Senator
Bailey repeated his oft-quoted
statement that he would take a
gun and get rid of his enemies,
only there was so many of them.
Saturday at this place, he had the
opportunity to get the gun, but
he didn't. just why he didn't
might be matter of speculation
if the legislature hadn't made
speculation unlawful. Itis proba-
BILE that the embargo placed on
the gun trade by the same legisla-
ture, has saved the lives of count
less Texans. The gross receipt
tax of 80 per cent on pistols is
probably what saved the life of
Colonel w. L. Crawford. If so
the tax will doubtless be repealed
at once by the Bailey adherents in
the legislature.
1t has now been forty-eight
hours since Colonel Crawford is
sued his written defiance and de-
nunciation of the worlds great
est Democrat" and still not a
man has been shot, at least not
over half-shot. Many rounds of
highballs have been fired, it is
true, but reports of harm done
are meagre.
Colonel Crawford's regiment of
home guards has been in the
thickest of the fray since Saturday
afternoon. At that time the Off
cial dispatches conveyed the fol-
lowing communication:
To the Citizens of Dallas:
In speech which | delivered
at Waxahachie September 81, re-
viewing Joe BaiIey's record as a
senator, 1 stated, among other
things, that Senator Bailey never,
never can, and never will fairly
and honestly discuss the facts in
this case. No advocate and no
apoIoglst of Bailey can ever do it.
Fairly considered, his record is
wholly indefensible.
Joe Bailey made a speech at Abb
lene yesterday. In that speech he
did not attempt to discuss the
facts in the case. He did, how
ever, state, ''BilI Crawford has
suborned more men to perjury
than any other ten lawyers that
now practice IN the state of
Texas" | have never suborned
any man in my life, and | de-
nounce Joe Bailey as a liar, a
taking scoundrel, and a
coward.

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 26, 1907.
This was regarded at the time
as a declaration of war, and every
body thought, of course, that all
diplomatic relations were severed.
Senator Bailey, commander in
chief of all Texans who believe in
either drowning or shooting all
opponents, established headquar-
ters at the Oriental aud at once
made preparations for withstand
ing siege. His trusted lieuten.
ants besought him to be careful
and not venture beyond his room.
But Senator Bailey is maze of
sterner stuff. He threw precau-
tion to the wind. With head
erect and eyes flashing destruc-
tion he emerged from his retreat
on the parlor floor, descended one
story to. the rotunda, and, without
SO much as tremor, approached
the cigar stand. A moment later
he had opened fire on good ci.
gar, and was ready to undertake
the perilous return trip to his
sleeping quarters.
Impartial history will be just to
all the acts and actors in this great
drama of bloodless warfare, but
certainly above them all will shine
| in golden characters the name OF
this great man, Bailey, who, by
his intrepid bearing in the face Of
danger, changed a beIeaguered
army of frightened boosters into
a flaming column of cigar
smokers, and thus snatched
another victory from the Jaws oil
