The swordfish is a long, slippery

plunges into whales and other enemies
when It engages in deadly combat
with them. The swordfish may be

sword and part of the head, but found
It inconvenient to devour the rest Of
the fish. The swordfish was willing
to withdraw, but could not. Neither
could the shark, and in this singular
posture they lived unhappily for some
time. The works of nature are highly
wonderful, and we should study them
with awe and industry, and try to
be good and affectionate to those

COTTON GINNERS Meet
Hope to Profit by the Oustins of

Plan to Ship Direct to Foreign Mills 10
Endersed---Will Save $4,250.000
in Mississippi Alone.

Jackson, Miss.-A meeting of the
compress ginners of the southern
states was held here for the purpose
Of perfecting An organization and ma
king plans to substitute the compress
gin for the large compress plants now
In operation in the cotton belt.
The several manufacturing concerns
supplying round ard square bale COM
press gins are fully represented at the
gathering, which is Of more than usual
significance In view 0f the fact that a
special meeting of the federal court
was held here at which Judge Miles
heard the petition of Attorney Gen
eral Fletcher, asking that the receiv-
ershfp of the Gulf Compress company
not be allowed to interfere with the
decree of the state court declaring
An unlawful combine and ordering 1t
busted from the state.
The compress ginners frankly ac-
knowledge that they hope to profit by
the ousting of the Gulf Compress
company, and that they will make an
effort to secure control of the ginning
and COMPRISING in this state. One
strong argument they advance Is that
the gin compress saves the farmer
$3.50 per bale on his cotton, which in
Mississippi alone means an aggregate
saving of s4,250,000 per annum.
The Lowry round bale intereSs, the
Farmers Gin and Compress company,
the Southern Compress company and
the Munger Gin company are the
largest concerns represented.
Memphis, Tenn.-Neasures which

which met here. To every member OF
the union was sent an agreement for
him to sign and forward to the local
secretary of the union pledging his in
dividual support in a direct market
ing OF the present cotton crop.
Yhe committee strongly advocated
shipping direct to the foreign mills
and spinners. which they claimed
could easily be accomplished by fur
nishing the same business advantages
as the heavy exporter now gives to
the mills. The growers have been ask
ed to pledge their cotton to them,
and the sales will be apportioned
among the states according to the
amount pledged. This cooperation,
which has practically been pledged by
every member of the union, msans
that the market will not be ov9rfed
and the market prices will no longer
be controlled by the spectators, and
competition among sellers viii be
lone away with.
