COTTON FIGHT ENDORSED.
Resolution of Mississippi Division of
Cotton Association.

Jackson, Miss, January 4.-(Special)-
Before adjourning last night the Missis-
sippi division of the Southern Cotton as
.socia ton adopted the following. resolution:
= Resolved, by the Mississippi division Of
the Southern Cotton association, That we
approve and iidorse the bill introduced
by Representative Macon of Arkansas in
the Congress of the United States. to
make the dealing in future contracts for
the sale and purchase of agricultural pro-
ducts feonious, and also the application
of Representative Livingston of Georgia
for fraud order against the New York
Cotton exchange. and that the senators
and representatives from Mississippi are
directed to cooperate with Messrs. Liv-
ingston and Macon in their efforts to ben
eft the cotton interests of the south, and
to secure justice for our section
This matter was discussed at some
length, but 1t was notable that all the
speakers had the same object in view
the Endorsement of the proposition. 1t
was believed that the charges made by
Mr. Livingston against the New York
Cotton exchange are true, else there
would not be such a large difference be-
tween the prices of spots and futures in
that market, while New Orleans shows a
very small difference.

City Council Have Home Carefully
Guarded.

cial meeting of the city council was held
here last night to look into the matter of
quarantining against small pox which
was recently reported in an aggravated
form on one of the principal streets. After
some discussion it was deemed advisable
to have the home thoroughly guarded and
to require vaccination among the res
idents of that portion of the city In
the event the residents do not consent it
is the purpose of the council to make the
law a compulsory one. 1t is believed that
in this way the disease can be stamped
out without any interference on the part
of the travelling public. When the council
adjourned j. d. Holes, the newly elected
ALDERMAN from Ward No. l. rendered the
body superb spread in the way of an
oyster supper. which was greatly enjoyed.
