Negro Ex-Slaues Meet
 At BreUton and Organize

Brewton Feb. 2S-(Special)- )-At a largely attended meeting of negro ex- slaves. held here yesterday, the Unit ed Order of Ex-Slaves" was organized. having for it's object the uniting of the fourteen slave States of ante-bellum days. and through the united efforts of the ex-slaves of these States to memorabilia the Congress of the United States to permit each of the ex-slaves to draw a pension for two years.
 constitution and set of bylaws were adopted. which 1t Is stated. "The organization shall consist of all per sons male and female. who were freed from slavery by the proclamation of the President of the United tSates, dat ed on the 1st day of January. 1S63."
 This movement was begun several months ago by Walter Daycus, prom inent negro Republican. Daycus was a member of the Republican National Convention held in Chicago in 1890. and up until the Lilly Whites" gained the ascendancy in this State, he was prominent in the councils and affairs of his party.
 He stated yesterday that he had been asked to canvass the States Of Ala bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis- sissippi, Missouri, North Carolina South Carolina. Tennessee. Texas and Virginia, for the purpose of solicit ing members to this organization and subscriptions to carry on the expense

of conducting the campaign for the measure for presentation to Congress. This. he said. he had declined to do, on the ground that it might compro- mise him with the government, but that publicity would be given to the movement through the press and regu- lar monthly dues of 50 cents for the males and 25 cents for females be as- sessed all members for the purpose Of carrying on the work.
 From his own viewpoint, Daycus pre- sents very good argument In contend ing for pensions for his fellow ex- slaves, and seems to be confident that his line of argument will be sufficient ly convincing to insure favorable act ion by Congress when the matter Is brought to it's attention.
 He has been in correspondence with prominent men of his race in different sections of the country, and recently requested Governor Conner to let him have the use of the State House at Montgomery for a National meeting for the consideration of this proposi- tion. This Governor Conner declined to do in a letter to Daycus, stating that he did not know at what time he would need the Capitol for purposes more in accord with its designs.
 No other plan has yet been offered for the National gathering. but ar engagements looking to this end are expected to be made at an early date and time and place named.

7he New Orleans Cotton Exchange
 Modernizes Its Rules and Contracts

missioner of Corporations Herbert Knox Smith. who has had charge of the exhaustive investigation made by the government, approved the pro- gram of the New Orleans Cotton Bx- change, made some additional sugges- tions. and closed his letter with this sentence:
 ure at the manifestly sincere and earn est effort on the part of the various
 members of your committee, despite some differences of opinion as to the
 matter of policy. to. bring about im- provement in the conduct of the future system on the New Orleans Cotton Ex- change"
 There has never been any difference of opinion among the members of our Exchange as to the broad policy of perpetuating only such rules and con tract conditions as will always give both the buyer and the seller absolute fairness. together with maximum trad ing facilities" said President Thomp-
 son. The only differences that have ever existed have related to the meth ods by which we were to reach the desired end. We invited MT. Herbert Knox Smith, who as the official of the
 government. acted on instructions of Congress in the interest of the pro- ducer, the consumer and the trade in
 general, to confer with us in order that we might harmonize our views to meet
 the views of the government. This he did. We have also conferred with many representative farmers and spinners. Both buyers and sellers have repeated ly been before the committee. and the changes we have made bear the un- qualified approval of all classes.
 Just so soon as 1t Is practicable, the changes and Improvements will go
 into effect. In a little while We will
 have created modern warehouses and handling facilities which will protect
 all the cotton sent to New Orleans from damage and very materially re-
 duce the cost of handling, storage,
 shipping, insurance etc. With such fa- cilities, together with a modernized fu- ture contract available for hedging
 purposes and meeting the needs and re-
 quirements of both buyer and seller.
 cotton will gravitate to New Orleans
 naturally and easily because 1t will be
 to the advantage of the farmer to send
 his product here."

NEW IDEA Helped Wisconsin Couple.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely to old notions of things. New ideas of ten lead to better health, success and happiness.
 A Wisconsin couple examined an idea new to them and stepped up sev- eraI rounds on the health ladder. The husband writes:
 Several years ago we suffered from coffee drinking, were sleepless. ner- vuus, sauow, weak and irritable. My wife and I both loved coffee and thought 1t was a bracer."
 (Delusion). "Finally, after years of suffering. wn read of Postum and the harmful ness of coffee, and believing that to grow we should give some attention to new ideas, we decided to test Pos tum.
 'When we made it right we liked it and were relieved of Ills caused by coffee. Our friends noticed the chanse-fresher skin, sturdier nerves better temper. etc.
 "rhese changes were not sudden but relief increased as we continued to drink and enjoy Postum. and we lost the desire for coffee
 Many of our friends did not like Postum at first. because they did not make 1t right. But when they boiled Postum according to directions or package. until 1t was dark and rict they liked it better than coffee ana were benefited by the change. There's a Reason"

New Orleans, Feb. 2S.-(Specsal )-- Alter two ysars of most thorough re- search, investigation and confederation of cotton market conditions and trade requirements by tho United States gov- ernment, acting on tho request of the farmers. and many months of earnest endeavor by c special committee of sev- enteen experts. together with the co- operation of planters. spinners. buy CTS and sellers of the staple. the mem- bers of the New Orleans Cotton Ex- change have adopted . resolution pro- viding for changes and Improvements in their future contract and future rules all of which are fully endorsed by the United States government and by the legitimate interests in the cot ton trade.
 The governments recomm endations as a whole were adopted. as were all the recommendations made by the spe- cial committee which received the ap- proval of the Federal government.
 Among the more important changes effected are:
 The adoption of a system of certifi- cation of grades. carrying with 1t the official guarantee of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange and the permanent Identification of each ana every bale.
 Classification by a salarfed board of expert classers having no other inter- est in the cotton business; such board to grade cotton only.
 The creation of an improved board of appeals.
 Improved arbitration of irregular and staple cotton.
 The compulsory use of the official standards of the exchange (which ul- timately are to be the government standards) by the board of classers.
 The Identification of individual bales by grade, on the face of the grade certificate.

 Perpetuation of/the commercial or market grade difference system, as al- ways enforced at New Orleans.
 The exclusion of all low grade ting ed and stained cotton from the grades tenderable on contract

CHURCH DEDICATED
CEREMONY AT FIRST
 BAPTIST AT SELMA.
Dr. Frost, of Nashville, and Dr. Gross, Of Texas, Deliver Sermons Of Day-Church Handsome
 and Source of Pride.

Selma, Feb. 2S.-(Special.) )-The e handsome new First Baptist church of Selma was formally dedicated to God today. The dedication services. which were held both this morning and this evening. were attended by large congregations which taxed the capaci- ty of the handsome ediflce.
 The building is one of the handsom- est church buildings in the State and was completed about three years ago. It was built at a great expense to the congregation which will worship in 1t and since it's completion the congre- gation has been laboring earnestly to free 1t from the debt which it was necessary to assume to complete it.
 The last of tbis long standing debt was paid a few months ago and since that time arrangements have been in progress for the dedicating of the church. The church stands at the cor ner of Dallas and Lauderdale street and Is an imposing structure of stone, the exterior of which Is elaborate with ornamentation and beautiful in archi- tectural design. Not only the congre- gation of the First Baptist church is proud of It's new church but every cit izen of Selma.
 The services which were held today in the dedicating of the church were conducted by two well known and prominent ministers of the Baptist denomination and who were formerly pastors of the congregation. They were Dr. J. M. Frost of Nashville Tenn, president of the Baptist Publish ing Board. and pr. J. L. Cross. pastor of the First Baptist church of Hous- ton, Texas. During both of these ser vices Rev. J. L. Rosser, the present pastor of the church assisted in the conducting of the services.
 Dr. J. M. Frost preached the sermon at the morning service and his theme was What a Church Stands For" The discourse by this able divine was heard with profound attention by the large congregation and proved one of the most interesting sermons ever de- livered in the church. pr. Frost was pastor of the congregation of the First Baptist hurch about twenty-two years ago and he said that 1t was one of the glorious days of his life to return tc Selma and assist in the services of the dedicating of the church of his old congregation.
 The services tonight were conducted by pr. J. L. Gross and the services were again attended by a large con gregation. Dr. Gross was pastor O the church about eight years ago, ant his many friends extended warn welcome to him during his visit t Selma.
 The musical program which was ren dered at both of the services, was on of the finest that has ever been heart In Selma Each number of the pro gram was selected with infinite car hy Mrs W. l..

NEXT SECRETARY OF WAR
 VISITS IN COLUMBUS, MISS,

Columbus, Miss, Feb. 2S-(Special.) } The plans arranged for the reception of Judge Jacob McGavock Dickinson and party. who arrived in Columbus today, were in manner upset by the fact that the train on which the party arrived was nearly two hours late.
 The party. which includes Judge and Mrs. Dickinson, and Hon. George R {. Peck, Chief Counsel for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. came over the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. and the train, which was scheduled to ar rive at 1230 D. m.. did not reach the city until o'clock.
 Quite a number of Judge Dickin- sons old friends assembled at the de- pot to meet him, but as the luncheon hour approached. Hon. T. P. Franklin. and ex-Lieutenant Governor James T. Harrison. were the only ones left to welcome the distinguished guests. Gov ernor Harrison is the brother of Miss Mary Harrison. who is entertaining the party, and they were driven immedi- ately to her home on North Seventh Street Quite a number of Judge Dick inson's old friends called on him at the Harrison home this afternoon. but few had the pleasure of seeing him, as he, Mrs. Dickinson. and Judge Peck. went out for an automobile ride. On this ride they were accompanied by Mir. Willis Garth, and Miss Mary Gov an Billiups.
 Judge Dickinsons visit Is of a pure- ly social nature. and 1t is understood that he desires no ostentation or public demonstration of any sort during his stay here. He is one of the foremost citizens of the land. and such ii would be pleasing to Columbusites to receive him with the homage due a man in his exalted position Judge Dickinson is to be Secfetary of War in MT Taft's cabinet.
 The true way in which to honor g guest. however. is to provide the na- ture of entertainment which to him seems most pleasant, and most appro- priate. and realizing this. Columhusites will yield to Judge Dickinsons wishes regarding the manner in which he Ii to be entertained There will be nc public demonstration of any kind, the entertainments that will be given 1T his honor being of an informal anC | strictly private nature.
 Besides being well acquainted in Go | lumbus, Judge Dickinson has mum ber of relatives here, being related by ties of consangulnity to several of oul most prominent families. Of course his relatives will entertain in honor of the 1 Judge and the members of his party hut the entertainments will be h. | formal in nature. the number of guest: in every instance being limited, |
