HARvIE JORDAN REELECTED.
Accepts Presidency Again In
Hope of Saving It From
Disruption.


Hope of Saving It From
Disruption.
Dallas, Tex, Feb. 2o-With tn
hope of saving the organization
from threatened disruption, Harvi'
Jordan again accepted the Office o
president of the Southern Cottoi
Association, at the meeting of it
executive committee tonight. Mr.
Jordan had declared positively tha
he could not serve further in tha
capacity and his manifeso was &C
cepted by the convention, but wher
the executive committee proceeded
to elect his successor there developed
a soft of factional contest for the
Office that seemed certain to result
in division of forces if not com.
plete disruption.
The candidates for president were
E. D. Smith of South Carolina and
Walter Clark of Mississippi. Both
of the nominees said he would be
unable to accept the Office but left
the matters in the hands of their
friends.
In responding to the speech NOM
mating, Walter Clark sounded the
note that provoked heated discuss
ion that lasted for an hour. He
declared that the fight of the asso-
citation had been conducted against
fearful odds and without support
from It's benefciaries, and urged
the temporary disbandment of the
organization. He said that during
the coming season cotton would go
below eight cents, and that the busi-
ness interests of the Southern Cot
ton Association would be conserved
if it should temporarily efface itself
from the earth. Then, he said, the
benefciaries of the fight would feel
keenly the need of such an organi-
cation and rally to its support.
This lost Clark the presidency,
If he had any ambitions in that di-
rection.
A few similar speeches were made
but most of the speakers declared
that the South is in better shape
than it has ever been. and that the
association is in better position to /
accomplish its work.
Mr.. Clark's friends were sufici-
emily numerous, however, to prevent |
the unanimous election of Mr..
Smith and J. Chickey of Texas, who
was nominated by Clark himself,
refused to stand for the nomination
under any consideration. Finally
the two opposing candidates with
drew in favor of Harvie Jordan. who
had been nominated during the de-
bate, and he consented to serve for
year.
The failure to support the organ
ization was matter of considerable
and it finally resulted in
the appropriation or pledging of $e,-
400 vice presidents salary and gen
eral office expenses, each state pied
ging $50 for every 100000 bales
produced.
President Harvie Jordan and E. d.
Smith were named as delegates to
The conYention of the Master SPIN.
ners of Europe to be held at Paris
n June.
The president has authority to se-
ect three other delegates. Walter
Clark of Mississippi was elected vice
president,

Saves Her Fathers Life.

Portland, Or, July 14.--Last Sat
urady evening, Cora Hosford, 49,
years old, plunged into the lagoon
at Washougal, Wash, waded neck
deep 25 feet, then swan Is feet fur
ther to where her father, Captain
Pearne Hosford, was floating face
downward, grabbed him by his bath
ing suit and towed him asl4Jre. This,
In spite of the fact the little girl had
to paddle in her nearly exhausted
condition with one hand and support
the limp form of her unconscious
father, man weighing 200 pounds
The one great grief Of the brave
little girl, as she weeps inconsolably
at her home in Washougal today is
that her physical strength was not
great enough to save the life of her
14-year-old cousin and chum, Mil
dred Long, whose drowning strug-
giles had so nearly resulted tn the
pulling under of Captain Hosford,
and making the tragedy a double
one.
Admirers OF the heroism displayed
by the little girl are discussing the
advisabVlity of sending her name to
the committee In charge of the Car
negie hero fund, 1t is considered
likely that the facts surrounding the
rescue of her father will be forward
ed to the committee in charge of the
hero fund and thorough investi-
CATION made.

Hugh Smith had n narrow escHpe
from being being killed hy stray
shot at Los Lake last 'eek. While
fishing on raft in the lake a fe bali
struck pipe in his mouth, shatter!ng
it aud piece struck his eye, binding
him for time. At first he thought
he had been shot in the face. the pain
from the piece of ripe striking his
eye. and the Temporary binding on
account of the shock giving him that
impression. However, he luckily es'
caped any serious injury.
The circumstance forcibly reminds
one of the danger to those in the

hunters shouting at random with
powerful long range guns. Ihere
is a constantly increasing numter in
the mountains On account of the
Increase in population and the better

utmost care should ho exercised ny
hunters in disoharging firearms, or
there will be a depIorable accident
some time How near there came to
being one last week, Mr. Smith can
testify. He has no idea from where
the shot came. as he saw no one, and
it must have heen some one shooting
at random across the lake, without a
thought as to where 1T would go or
what it would hit.

Mr., Bryan, resumed its session at /
p. M, with a powerful undercurrent
already In motion toward the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Kern for second place.
The names of Judge George Gray, of
