Cotton Growers Association Meeting.

The Clarendon Cotton Growers AS
sociatiou met in the court house last
Monday morning at the call OF the
county president. The weather was
extremely bad, which prevented large
attendance. Those present, about 10 in
number, were treated to I magnificent
speech from Hon. E. D. Smith: State
president of the association.
President Hodge was prevented from
attending on account of illness and we
know his enforced absence was a great
disappointment to him, as he is not
only loyal supporter of the assocla-
ton but a most jealous worker, and
has made sacrifices for it. In his abb
sence Mr.. J. W. Mcleod was called
upon to preside, and Rev. R. L. Grier
opened the proceedings with prayer.
Mr.. Louis Appelt introduced the
speaker, and Notwithstanding the open
ing remarks that he did not, on ac-
count of the slim attendance, intend to
make speech, the speaker made one
Of the strongest presentations OF the
conditions and the remedies for them
we have yet heard from him. He
urged the necessity of holding to the
advantage already obtained, showed the
disparity between futures and spots,
and gave the reason therefor. He
stressed the Importance of farmers do
ing business upon business principles
and excoriated those who had not and
will not give their aid in the asssocla-
tion's work-a work for Southern man.
hood and humanity. He urged the
formation of holding company on a
basis of S. per bale, select q selling
agent to sell the output of the cotton
farms in organized form, and his illus
tration of the effect was made by COM
pairing the little rain drops which We're
then pattering upon the roof to the
combination of waters which form the
Niagara.
Mr.. Smith always makes an excel
lent speech. He never turns an audi
ence loose without giving them some
thing substantial to carry away: and on
this occasion his plan to handle the
future cotton crops appeal to the busl-
ness sense of the audience. On account
of the small attendance it was decided
to call another meeting a little later,
and stating in that call fully the object
so that full and representative as
assembly, can be had and Clarendon join
with her sister counties, and the other
cotton growing States, in this great
warfare for home, country, and ma
terial salvation. After the address Mr..
Smith asked for voluntary contribu-
tions to help pay the office expenses at
headquarters which resulted in about
s27 being collected. Mr.. Smith also
told his hearers of bill he has had IN
troduced in various legislatures requir-
ing a nominal license from all cotton
gins, and requiring those taking out the
license to make weekly reports to the
Comptroller General Of the number OF
bales ginned for the week, and that the
Comptroller General shall publish a
weekly bulletin as to the number OF
bales ginned. This is done to keep a
tab on the reports sent to Washington,
which are always made in the interest
of the speculator.

more lasting value can accomplish for
the people of my home than to be 1n-
strumental in providing present and
future generations with good school
equipment and facilities. I realize
there will be opposition to this pro-

taxpayers who are willing to bear
their part towards this beneficial end.

THE STANDARD GIANTS BASE
BALL CLUB ROYALTY ENTER
TANNED.

The Standard Giants were royalty
entertained by a banquet given by
their manager, Mr.. White, at his res
idence on Fifth avenue, South, Tues
day evening. Music was furnished by
one OF the best orchestras of Nash
vile, which rendered some of the
rarest selections ever heard. Mr..
John Hurt acted as postmaster and
the manner in which the popular sec
ond baseman dished them out made a
lasting impression and every member
and guest responded Loyalty.
After courses of eatables, wines and
ices, which were very. very elaborate,
Manager White called the house to
order and M. G. B. Reaves was made
President; Mr.. j. w. White, Manager,
and w. G.. Sublett, Secretary, and by
unanimous voice of the house Mr..

AS to his ability his work with Chi

of the Northern napers.
One of Nashville's colored tailors
was on hand and took the measure of
each member for a new uniform and

The dispatches were from Berlin and

CAUSED BY JEALOUSY
QUARREL ENDS DISASTRoUSLY
TO JOHN BURTON.

Jealousy led to an alteration shortly
after midnight last night between John
Burton, colored, thirty-seven years old, OF
1908 18th street and his wife. Lydia, at their
home, and as a result Burton Is in the
Emergency Hospital with a bullet wound
dangerously near his heart and Lydia is
locked up in the house of detention, charged
with assault with a dangerous weapon.
Burton's condition is still precarious, but it
Is believed by the surgeons at the hospital
that he will recover. The accused woman
will be taken to the Police Court tomorrow.
and, 1t is expected, will be committed to Jail
to await the recovery of her husband.
There were no witnesses to the shooting.
and the statements OF the interested parties
indicate that the shooting was accidental.
Burton was out during the early part Of the
evening and came in about II o'clock. His
wife, who had gone to bed began to chide
him about being out with other people, and
the" husband replied in defense of himself.
He went to bed while the argument contin-
ued, but about midnight he got up and
dressed. saying he was going to leave his
wife for good. She says she begged him to
remain
He obtained a razor from the bureau
drawer, she says, and to protect herself
she drew a revolver from under her pillow.
In an endeavor to get the pistol away from
her, she says he knocked her down on the
bed and a struggle ensued. In that struggle
the weapon was discharged, the bullet en-
tering Burton's chest near the heart.
Following that the wife started to take
her husband to a place where he could be
given surgical help, and they started out In
search of an open drug store. Before one
was found, however, they met Policeman
Cox of the first precinct and related the
story to him. He procured a cab and sent
the couple to the first precinct station
house. The woman was locked up there for
the night and Burton was sent to the hos
