VIENNA COTTON CONGRESS
Opposes Dealing in Cotton
Futures
TARE FIXED At TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS
Resolutions Passed Favoring the Com
pressing of Cotton at Ginneries-
Desire Expressed for Closer
Relations Between Grow
ers and Spinners.

Vienna, June 1.-The Internation-
al Cotton Congress came to an end
May 80. The attitude of the Congress
from the Standpoint OF America was
on the whole favorable. The most
important thing the Congress did
was to reach an understanding as to
how cotton could be ginned, baled
and delivered An interesting feature
was the fact that both growers and
spnnerS were united opposition to
speculation in cotton futures, and in
this connection a resolution was pas
sed in favor of the cOmpreSSing OF cot
ton at the ginnerieS or at the point
of production.
In the matter of the question of
tare, the Congress adopted d reSolu-
tion establishing a maximum allow
ance of tare of twenty-five pounds
per bale, instead Of six per cent of the
cross weight of the cotton, as is now
the custom. This arrangement
works in favor of the American
| Covers.
The spinners expressed desire for
closer and more direct relations with
the growers of cotton, and tha attl-
| tude on their part may be taken as a
recognition of the views on this sub
ject presented by the American de-
legateS to the Congress, who in theil
! addresses labOred to diSabuSe the
minds CT the SpinnerS of the idea that
the American growers had any in
tentiOn Of organizing for the purpose
of unduly advancing the price OF cot
ton.
Another resolution passed by the
Congress expressed the satisfaction or
that body with the statement made
by the American representatives, that
the Americans intend to adopt every
possible measure to improve the eX-
iSting method of transporting cotton
from the plantations to the SplnnerS.
The question of insurance was re-
ferred to the next Congress.
In the matter of the eXtention OF
cotton culture, the Congress expressed
the opinion that all countries where
efforts are being made to extend the
area of cultivation as deserving o.
liberal support. Speaking on thi'
subject the Americans declared that
the European countries who are try
| ing to introduce cotton culture IL
their territory are laboring will
Slight prospects of success.
The English delegates spoke il
favor of the greatest possible decen
traliZation of cotton growing, deciar
ing that to-day Europe was as mucl
| dependent as ever on one part OF th'
world for the bulk Of its cotton sup
ply. This view was seconded by th'
German delegates, and as an OUTCOME
Of this difference of opinion the Con
gress passed the resolution to the ef
feet that all cOttOngrowing countries
should receive general support.

In Memoriam.

After long and painful illness,
death, that grim monster who is no
respectOr of persons, saw tit to relieve
9. G. Horton of all suffering Monday
night May 9th 1907.
G. G.. Horton was the son OF Il. A.
Horton: he was born April 23rd 1869,
was married to Miss Ida Smith
March Sth 1891.
At the time death put his mask
upon him, he was operator for the
&c. r. r. Co., at Simpson. He
was a fine operator, and was kindly
spoken of by all who knew him.
His suffering was intense yet he
bore it with patience and Christian
resignation. He seemed to realize
that his sickness was unto death from
the beginning, and said he was read y
to go.
He leaves a wife, father, brother
and many loved ones to mourn for
him. We should not weep for oul
dear ones, when we know our loss is
their eternal gain, and Onlya little
while, we too will cross over the
river Of death. l.. +.

CAN OF GOLD
Is Stolen From J. P. Brooks
Money Comes Back.

Mr.. J. p. Brooks, a prosperous
rlanter of this county who resides in
this city had $1,000, in $40 gold piece
stolen from his residence Monday
morning between and 10 O'Clock.
The money was in baking powder
can. 1t was the result of the accu-
mutations of Mr.. Brooks wife; she
having laid by birthday presents and
other little savings at sundry times.
She had kept the money hid away
about the premises and the fact that
the family were preparing to go out
to their country home for the summer
was the cause Of it's being taken from
it's hiding which was done Sunday
evening when she and her husband
counted it and placed it with some
other rubbish in one corner OF the
bath room. Monday morning
several wagons were brought in from
the farm by negroes who were to as
sist in the moving. The wagons had
all been loaded and were several miles
in the country when the money was
found to be missing. Mr.. Brooks, TO-
gether with two other deputies dis
patched by the sheriff, Immediately
put out in persuit of the wagons ano
overlook them few miles from town
They were brought back and Mrs
Brooks recalled, as also did some o.
the children, that Pig Raymond ont
of the drivers was seen in the batf
room pillaging among some thing
piled on the floor. He admitted t
having taken pair of shoes. Tn
other negroes were released and Pi'
landed in Jail where it is thought d!
will soon conclude to tell where tn
missing gold can be found.

Editor Sentinel: Please publish
the following letter from Cant } b.
Crowder. w. NJ. Dubard.
Home, May 9th, 1907.
Mr.. William Dubard,
City.
Dear Sir: | met you at Elliott
May 4th, it was surprise meeting to
both of us. You were not expecting
to meet me, and you were the last
man 1 expected to meet there.
You told me they were charging
YOU, inYalobusha county with having
voted the Republican ticket, and hav-
ing run with Price and Kelly, and you
read to me, what | see from your pub
lished paper, was only small part OF
the statement, made by my friend t
B. Williamson, saying that the first
time you got off was in 1877, wher
you withdrew from our convention
with Matt Mister and others, which
statement was endorsed by my frien'
Gas Penn. You remember, we wer
having hard rain at the time, AM
your train was about to pull out, an
you were very much hurried, whicl
may have been the cause CT your no
reading the statement entire. Yo
did not mention Frank Harper'S name
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1907-06-08

or any other name, for that matter,
in this connection, when you said
they were charging you with these
things in Yalobusha county. You re-
minded me of the time you were with
me in our Convention, that nominated
French, and knowing you were in
that Convention, as delegate, and
rendered us good and efficient service
on that occasion, and thinking it just
and right, that l should give you
credit for the same, l signed your
paper, but | see from the published
statement, Il. B. Williamson is made
to say: Nor was he ever charged
with any political wrong until the
Convention of 1877, when he with
drew with Matt Mister and others,
from our Convention. Now | want
to say to you, have not knowingly
subscribed to that clause in Mr.. Will
lamSon'S statement, for l signed
without reading it, and did not know
that it was in there. l can not
reconcile the charges against you with
YOUR conduct on that occasion, and
could not understand why your DEM
ocratic neighbOrs would have selected
you as a delegate to that convention,
if they had not been satisfied with
your democracy, and that you were
earnestly iu the fight against Price
and Kelly. l signed for you under
the impression that it was the truth
of those charges that were afloat
against you, and not the fact of any
such charges ever having been abroad,
was the specific thing you were deny
ing and supporting your denial with
the testimony of T. B. Williamson,
and Mr.. Penn. This is where L
honestly thought the matter stood,
when it got up to me, for my sigma
ture. Now it will be patent to you,
| could not possibly have known how
you voted previous to that Convention,
except through yourself and close
friends, and this was the first time
you have ever mentioned the subject
to me. 1t strikes me after all, you are
the only perfectly eligible witness, as
to how you voted previous to that
Convention, and.I simply take your
word for that. T. B. Williamson is
one of my friends that / would, at any
time, should it be necessary, stake my
life on his truth and sincerity, but
at the same time, l know him well
enough to know he would be the last
man in the world to have me sub,
scribe to a statement from any source,
against my conviction. l read your
statement in my Sentinel of the 25th
after getting back home, this will ex
plain my delay in writing you
Please give this statement the same
publicity you gave the other and OBJ
lige. Yours respectfully,
J. B. CrOwder.

Rail Road Picnic.

The 10th annual rail road picnic
was had at Mitchell's grove, two
miles below Grenada, on Wednesday
June 5. There were perhaps a thou
sand people present. A heavy rain
fell about 10 O'Clock OF that day
which did much to mar the pleasure OF
the occasion. The place was an ideal
one and had the day been a normal
June day the pleasures of the hour
would have been multipli ed ten fold.
A brass band dispensed some de-
lightful music and the lovers OF the
dance passed several hours very de-
lightfully in the afternoon.
MessrS. Noel and Thomas, candid
ates for governor, were present in the
morning and desired to make speeches,
but on learning that no political
speeches were expected the two dis
tingushed gentlemen took their de-
parture. Several other state candid
ates were also present.
