 The oath of ofice was immediately administered to Mr. Birch by. the Clerk and bond In the Bum of $b,0Oo was made by the appointee.. ,. ;.
 The order Issued by Judge Jones pro- vides that all odd-numbered cases, in bankruptcy be referred to MT. Birch and the oven numbered cases to N, F.

 The controversy between Judges Jones and FT1undley over the matter of referees in this district Is of some interest and has. been on for some time.
 fudge Hundley set aside, 6 previous appointment by Judge Jones of Mir. Birch and the matter went to the Court of Appeals. The setting aside of the appointment of T Mir. Birch on an ap- peal or petition of MT. Birch was sus- tained. However, the Court of Appeals held that Judge Jones had right to

 What will be done by Judge Aund- ley remains to be seen. N. L. Steele had no comments to make when seen on the subject. The following is the text of the or der issued by Judge Jones today:

 Mr. Bonsteel reviewed the work which has been done by the Bureau ot sous Tn the way of Investigations
 The speaker declared the South is a region of almost boundless agricul- fural opportunity and expressed the be- lief that the brains and enterprise of these fifteen Southern States will not neglect so great an opportunity. He predicted that the next census will show that the annual value of the farm products of the South will double what It now is-which will be in excess of s2.0Q0. .000. 930.
 Preliminary to the eonvening of the morning session. c. Grosvenor Dave. Secretary of the Commercial Club, of Montgomery Ala. called attention to the wrong impression which, he said, had gained Considerable headway in foreign countries, notably in Europe. regarding health conditions in the Southern States. He declared that in Northeastern Europe and the British Isles. the immigrant maps have black and yellow splotches over what are called the Southern States. the Idea be- ing conveyed that certain Southern States are infected with yellow fever and therefore unftted as a place of residence.
 Mfr Dave said this impression was unjust to the South. He advocated the carrying on of an active propaganda in foreign countries to make the South better understood in this respect.
 J. H. Freely, Secretary of the For estry Commissionfi read the paper of F. C. Eckels on iron resources and 1t attracted. close attention.

 Manufacture of Cotton. MT. Tompkfns gave an historical re- view Of the production of cotton in the United. States, beginning with the year 17S0, and furnished statistics both as | to the number of bales produced and the prices obtained. These varied from i forty-four cents to five cents per pound. .'Increasing the production and l conversely lowering the price" he said, was practically parallel with the I strengthening of the influences of the institution of slavery and the diminish l ing of r1anufactures and the diverst- I fled vacations in commerce and trans. | portation." He declared that the in- stitution of slavery dried up the manu. l, factures of the cotton growing states and gradually reduced the. occupations of the people to the production of atapIe crops with slave labor.
