A GREAT STORAGE
COTTON WAREHOUSE
IS proposed to be Erected In New
Orleans,

New Orleans, Nov. 10.-Some very i'm
portant collateral forces have, since the
election, begun to work in aid Of the
farmers efforts to advance the price oI
raw cotton to profitable level, and the
monster meeting of planters, merchants
bankers and business men to be held in
New Orleans, Nov. II II, is thereby
assured of greater degree of co-opera
tion and assistance than has been
counted on. These forces have their
origin among the spinners of both
America and Europe, and spring from
the fact that with federal politics out OF
way the mills of the world and parti-
cularly Of the New England and Sou
thern States are preparing for greatly
augmented trade. This means an in-
creased demand for raw cotton, which
in turn means greater effectiveness for
such plans as the farmers may adopt for
the purpose of marketing slowly or
withdrawing cotton from the market
when prices are too low.
According to President G. s. Barrett,
it is highly probable definite action will
be taken at the meeting looking to the
erection of great storage warehouse at
New Orleans, and in order that far
reaching interest in the movement may
be taken by the farmers, Mr.. Barrett
hopes that just as many cotton pro-
ducers as can do SO will take advantage
Of the one fare round trip railroad rate
and attend the New Orleans meeting.
President Philip Werlein, of the New
Orleans Progressive Union, and many
other leading bankers and business men
stand ready to extend every possible
assistance in carrying out the zig ware
house plan, while the president of one
of largest banks Ia New Orleans asserts
that fully $5O,00O000 may easily be
made available under the new Louisiana
law exemYting money from taxation for
the purpose of carrying at and per
interest all the loans needed on cotton
stored in such warehouse as it is pro-
posed to construct. The only thing the
banks will require is the issuance Of a
gilt edge warehouse receipt.
In outlining the objects of the meet
ing, President Barrett said: "The pur-
pose of the meeting is to invite the
legitimate commercial interests of the
South to take counsel with the farmer
and to help him devise practical methods
to increase the price of cotton.
"The first days session on Nov. IL
will be executive, but on the second
Nov. II the doors will be thrown wide
open to all who balieve that cotton is
bringing less than it should and who
stand ready to do all In their power to
bring about better prices. The Farm
ers' Union cheerfully invites the best
business brains of New Orleans and OF
the South to take part in the meeting.
Once the world realizes that the South
is strong enough financially to provide
ways and means for it's cotton to bring
a fair price and Is determined to avail
itself Of such ways and means, the moral
influence exerted will give the tendency
toward better prices great impetus"

HON. S. S. CAIhOON
DIES SUDDENLY.
An Honored Member Of the Supreme
Court Of Mississippi.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 49, Hon. Solomon
Saladin Calhoon, associate Justice Of the
supreme court Of Mississippi, died sud.
denly tonight at his home on State
street, without word Of warning or
sigh Of pain. He sat on the bench with
his associates as usual until court ad-
journed at o'clock, and went to his
home, a square from the capitol, in his
usual genial, smiling and kindly mood.
He joined his family at supper, and with
the exception of feeling "a little slow"
as he expressed it, seemed well. He
retired to his room shortly before 10
o'clock and prepared for the nights
rest. He approached the bed, and as he
reached it uttered an inarticulate, chok-
ing sound, and his wife fastened to his
side. She was too late. Medical help
was hurriedly summoned, but the dis
tinguished man and statesman, was be-
yond the help Of earthly ministrations.
Within fifteen minutes after his death
occurred the sad news was promulgated
over the city, and his associates and
friends of the family hurried to the
stricken home.
Judge Calhoon was born Jan. 2, 1888,
In Brandenburg, Meade county, Ken
lucky, the son of George Calhoon and
Louise Brandenburg, and was of Scotch
Irish descent, and was approaching his
list birthday.
When he was scarcely 10 years of age

from Kentucky and settled in Madison
county, where his early youth and young
manhood was spent, attending the com
mon schools Of Canton until he grad
uated. He subsequently entered the
Lebanon (Tenn.) Law Schools, where
he read during 1854 and 1856, and after
wards took up school teaching, reading
law at the same time, and when IS years
of age was admitted to the bar by the
then associate Justice, Cotesworth
Pickney Smith.
Judge Calhoon's first public service
was as private secretary to Gov. Nc
Willie, In 1857, and the following year
he became secretary Of the state senate.
He became editor of the Yazoo Dem
ocrat in 1S58-59, and then moved to
Helena, Ark, where he was in News
paper work until his return to Madison
county in 1860, and took up the practice
Of his profession.
de enlisted in the Ninth Mississippi
in March 1851 and served the Conf-der-
acy from the frs. to last, holding the
rank OF heutenant-colonel Of the Tenth |
at the surrender.
He was associated in the practice of
law here for many years with Hon. Mar
cellus Green, and was always consider
ed one Of the strongest lawyers at che
state bar, and severed that connection
when appointed to the supreme court
by Gov. McLaurin, and was about to
complete his ninth year, the legal term
Of which would have ended May II, 1909.
He married Margaret, daughter OF
Gov. Melville, In December, 1865. who
survives him, with no living children.
He leaves brother, Hon. John Calhoon,
representative in the present legisla-
lature from MARSHALL county, and quite

RENO. New. March 4.-The hottest
fight In republican gathering in Ne

tomorrow, when delegates from the
new mining camps OF southern Nevada
to the state central committee lock
horns with L. NJ Blakeslee. the South
ern Pacific manipulator, over the Sc
lection of the next republican conven-
tion place.
The men from southern Nevada are
led by George Springmeyer, a brilliant
young attorney of GoldfeId, who has
won much reputation of late by sue
cess in mining litigation, but he is
confronted with a shrewd politician in
Blakeslee. who has been all over the
state securing proxies and claims he
has enough to carry the day.
Springmeyer is for Taft and Blakes-
lee for Hughes for the presidential
nomination. Popular sentiment is with
Taft and so Blakeslee. who has in
structions from the railroad company
to carry the state for Hughes. wants
to take the convention to winnemucea
which is an out of the way place.
This is an old trick in Nevada poll
tics and usually results in a proxy
convention. Blakeslee can furnish
those who wish to attend with trans
portation. or II they do not want to
come he can bring influences to bear
TO get hold of their proxies.
