How Big CrouDd Of Teachers
 Was Handled in Montgomery


 An attendance of over 1.20o teachers from. various parts of the State was registered during the recent session of the Alabama Educational Association held in this city, In addition to those regularly enrolled there were several hundred who attended the meetings but did not register, The total attend ance was therefore about .1.5o0.
 There. can be little doubt that. the session. just past was the most suc- cessful ever held by the Alabama Edu- cational Association. Q Not only did the attendance exceed all expectations, but the interest and enthusiasm displayed indicated that those present appreciated the object. of the meetings. and were tn horou ghly alive to the vital questions presented for their consideration. The pleasing feature of the meetings" said a prominent educator, was that prac- ticaIly all of the teachers who came to Montgomery attended them. and many took part in the discussions that came up before the assembly. The teachers came to Montgomery not to see the town but to attend the meetings and they showed themselves thoroughly conversant with the issues Involved In the educational problems of the day.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-04-20

The local committee on entertain ment is to be congratulated on its scucess in handling the visitors. It was a matter of considerable dificulty to secure accommodations for all of those in attendance on the session of the Association and the. way in which the problem was solved by the commit tee admits of no criticism. The recep- ton committee secured the services of twenty three young school boys who volunteered. without remuneration to assist in showing the strangers in the city where they could obtain suitable lodgings and in furnishing other in- formation desired These boys were from Starke's. Barnes's. Edgar's. and the Boys High School. and. said Sec retary Dave of the Commercial Club, they were of invaluable assistance to the entertainment committee In plac- Ing the visiting teachers.
 Many of the visitors left for their respective homes Saturday night. many having departed on previous days. Quite a few. however. remained over for Sunday. They were all very much pleased with Montgomery, and ex- pressed themselves as delighted with the results accomplished by the Asso- ciation.s

DOORS ARE CLOSED
TALLAssEE DIsPENsARY LOSES OUT
 AGAIN.
Chancellor Whitesides Refuses to MOd- fly the InjunetiOa Against the Dispensary Granted by
 Supreme Court.

The Tallassee dispensary will remain closed for the present. and from in- dications 1t will remain closed long time. Chancellor W. W. whitesides. of the Northeastern Chancery Division, has refused to modify the injunction against the dispensary granted some time ago by the Supreme Court.
 The Tallassee dispensary was estab- lished by the last Legislature. Tal- lassee until that time had been dry" A great many of the people of the town were opposed to the dispensary. Legal proceedings were established to close its doors, with o. c. Toombs as plainr- if. As a result of these proceedings, based upon the claim that the act cre- atinR the dispensary was unconstitu- tional the Supreme Court granted an injunction.
 The friends of the dispensary sought in proceedings before Chancellor White sides to have the dispensary injunction revoked or modified
 Judge J. NJ. Chiffon is in receipt of A letter from the Chancellor inform ing him that he declined to grant the motion made in the case that the in function should be dissolved.

To the Cotton Planters of the South: Cotton today reached the lowest point since Jan. l. 1903. except from November to May of the big crop year of lyU4-s, when It sold cents per pound lower .aan InIs. what mas caused tlas decune of 3 cents per pound in spite or the tact that the cotton crop of the world
 IS about 4,S00.OoJ short ei last years Gsop Pack khe of onss csni,dsmce The retailer is not buying except as he needs the goods: the jobbers is doing the same. consequently the mills nave no orders ! ah cad, while last year. and for several
 years past. they have had orders booked
 from three to six months in advance
 What causes this lack of confidence. They are afraid we will raise bum
 per crop of cotton again this year:
 Why are they afraid Of large crop!
 They look at the past. In 1905 we
 was followed By large acreage and
 good seasons and a bumper crop. The
 next year. 1905-6 we had a. short crop
 and good prices which was again fol- lowed by a large acreage and bumper crop. Had 1t not been for the Septem-
 Der storm In the Mississippi Valley and
 ket a would probably lave gone to s cents or under for that crop. We got
 good average price for the good
 grades in the crop ana & large seresge asan
 but owing to the weather during plant ing time the acreage was cut some and
 crop poor in Texas and Louisiana en- abled us to get good price for the
 most of this crop. A month ago every indication was that we would have
 large acreage this season. and the peo- pie did not care to place neavy orders for cotton goods. knowing that with a
 large acreage and fair season. we would produce more cotton than the world
 needed and the price of cotton goods
 would decline. They are. good busi- ness men. and you can't fool them.
 How can we restore confidence? In
 place of planting the same acreage
 as last season in, cotton. plant y5, per
 port .s out in June, or even before.
 the trade will know that there will be
 a moderate crop raised this year and cotton trade. Jobbers will place their orders ah cad to enable them to supply their trade and the mills will contract in advance for supplies of cotton and the market VIII advance much faster

A Plea to Cotton Planters
 To Reduce Their Acreage

than 1t has declined. The result VII, II, be that you will market 3 crop .. 1i,500,OvO at an average Of at least S psr oa1s 0f shs 'Sse @eatRer Conditions should be unfavorable for the groWing crop and 1t should turn out million baiessor less. 1t would sell Tor iS cents na 900. and add to this the value pr tne feed crops that can be grown on tne acreage intended for cotton ana it VIII give. us another $50, ,0O0.00v. Suppose that you plant the same acreage n as last year and with favorable weather we would likely make anyway iS;eoo,- 0eQ possibly more. What would sne price be under the present trade con ditions? Not over an average Of cents that it averaged $40 per bale. the .sdop crop 900. .o0o loss. to the South. How to bring about this reduction?
 II is not too late yet to plant corn alfalfa. sorghum cane. miilett or COW let the land lie ifIe for season rather than plant 1t in cotton at loss Let every planter that reads this article at age in cotton and show the article to his neirhbor or better. call meeting at every country school house in the South and discuss this matter intsLi. each one wsii do his part. If you have any neighbors that will not reduce, send me their names, ana VIII take the matter up with each one person. ally This ia no, small matter, and hope that members of the Southern Cotton Association and Farmers Union will stand side by side in this great fight. With a heavy acreage. Wall Street will set the price for our cot ton crop: with light acreage we can set our own price within reason. Don't delay, but get busy at once. There Is plenty of time yet if you will only do your part In 1905, by reducing the acreage IS per cent. the price advanced cents per pound and we can do 1t again. I will be glad to hear from every farmer that reads this and in- dorses it..
 Do you want to return to the old days of scent cotton? If not. join this movement and we will make the South
