Atlanta, Ca, October 26.-President

Association has sent out a circular to
the members of the Association urg-
ing them to attend the Cotton Con-
ference to be held in Memphis Novem-

Speaking of the Cotton Conference.
Mr.. Taylor says: "On November 10
11-12th, 1908, there will be a great
Cotton Conference in Memphis, Tenn.
composed of planters. ginners, bank
ers and merchants from all over the
country. This meeting is for the pur-
pose of taking some steps to get bet
ter prices for the balance of our cotton
and to take some measures to stop
the posting of gins by so-called might
riders" | urge that you all attend this
meeting, as it is very important that
something be done at once or this
movement may get to be as bad as it
has been in Western Kentucky and the
tobacco section.
Very low rates will be on during
this meeting and you all can afford to
attend and get as many of your Gus
toners TO come as possible as it
means higher prices for cotton.
This is not a meeting of any one
organization but all organizations will
be benefited, as well as bankers, mer-
chants and manufacturers. Prospect
ty depends on getting better prices
for cotton. Insist on your customers
coming and come yourself.

BUSINESS
COLLEGES
Go TO WAR
The Draughon Institution Wants
$4,000 From Harris Bus
mess University.

Jackson, October ga sensational
damage suit for $4,000 has been filed
in the Kinds county circuit court by
Draughan's Practical Business College
against the Harris Business Univers.
ity and Nathaniel ]. Harris. president.
The basis of the suit is the circula
ton of alleged libelous advertising
matter by Prof. Harris, in which the
Draughan chain of business colleges
were severely attacked, and in which
many of the statements, according to
the declaration of the plaintiff, were
false and were inspired by the devil"
There were three circulars alleged to
have been distributed to the great
detriment of the Draughan colleges,
and copies of each were attached to
the declaration and made part of it..
The circulars deal to some extent
with the personal character of the
president of the Draughan colleges and
his business methods, alleging that
their claims as to the character of the
work they do and the number of STU
dents enrolled are extravagant and un-
true. One of them contains what pur-
ports to be a letter from a former
student of both institutions. in which
he is quoted as recommending the
Harris Business University to the dis
credit of the Draughan college, and
following this is a letter from another
party certifying to the character of the
writer of the letter. The declaration
charges that both these persons are
| fictitious.
Altogether the declaration is a salty
one, but not more so, perhaps than
the circulars upon which they are
based
The case will come up for trial at
the March term of circuit court.
