COTTON STANDARDS.
Committee of Experts Recommends
Establishment of Nine Grades
Prepares Samples.

Washington, FeD. 4.-hecOmmen0-
inc that the standard Of the different
grades of cotton, as fixed by them, be
adopted as the official classification
Of the government, the committee OF
expert classifiers, designated by the
secretary Of agriculture to assist him
in establishing such a standard, has
made it's report to the latter. The
committee has made up types repres-
entative of the nine different grades
to be designated middling fair, strict
good middling, good midding, strict
middIing, middling, strict low mid
ding, low middling, strict good ordi-
nary and good ordinary, to be the Off
cial standard.
The recommendation is made that
in view Of the confusion that might
arise in case the standards were pro-
mulgated at once, they should not go
into effect until September l, 1910.
It also is recommended that efforts
should be made to secure the coopera-
ton of foreign exchanges in connec-
ton with the standard.
The further recommendation is
made thai congress enact legislation
penalizing any one tamperlng with
the standards, which are to be kept
locked up at the department of agri-
culture.
Secretary Wilson still has the re-
port Of the committee under advise
ment.
The belief was expressed that as
the result Of an examination of the
standards of this and foreign coun-
tries the least confusion would arise
to the cotton business Of the country
by adopting classification Of cotton
that was acceptable to all foreign con-
sumers, but, owing to the action OF
congress, the committee found it nee
essary to confine itself to stated
names which are in use in this coup-
try.
Standards Already in Use.
The standards finally recommended
for adoption are those that are in use
in practically every cotton business
throughout the greater part OF the
belt and are the standards accepted IN
commercial practice between this
country and Europe. The character
istics recognized in the establishment
of the grades are those generally US
ed in the trade at the present time.
It was the express wish Of the COM
mittee that the government at all
times should maintain the stuctest
supervision Of the preparation of the
standards and that the standar- ) pre-
pared should be safeguarded in every
way by legislation to prevent their
being handled or tampered with. 1t
was strongly urged that steps I'M
mediately be taken to secure the con-
eurrence of foreign exchanges in these
standards, and owing to the fact that
at the present time on the exchanges
in America transactions are beng
made in contract fully year ahead
it is believed that in order to avoid
confusion the standards certified
should not 60 into use in the trade
prior to the time indicated. 1t was
pointed out that it would be unfor-
tunate to have the standards used as
q basis Of sales in the middle of the
cotton season and that they could not
be used for the coming season with
out great injustice and confusion.
In fixing cotton standards the COM
mittee- acted in conformity with the
authority Of CONGRESS-

Bonded Inaebtedaess is Decreasea Elfminnting Necessity For Heavy stock-%Thereby Cut ts
 Effected.

Notification of a reduction of the capital stock of the Montgomery Trac- tion Company from s2.00o,0oo to sl,- 900. 900 shas been filed with Probate Judge Gaston by Ray Rushton. presi- dent and H. F. Crenshaw, secretary, of the company.
 According to the notification. the decision to cut in half the capital stock of the corporation was effected at a meeting of the directors held Satur- day.
 The reduction was effected by liQui- dating q ,0O0, 900 in stock of the Mont gomery Traction Company held by Richard Tillis. Mir. Tillis has turned over to the company 10000 shares of Traction stock. for which he was paid s100 share.
 The stock surrendered by Mir. Tiliis has been cancelled, and the present capitalization of the Montgomery Trac- tion Company is $1.000, 900, made up of 10000 shares of par value s1o0 each.
 At the purchase of the Traction Company by MT. Tillis, the concern had been reorganized. with capital stock of $2.000.000, so as to cover all bonded indebtedness, as required by law, much of this indebtedness having been eliminated, and there being no need for the heavy capitalization. its reduction was effected, thereby pro- ducing a greater economy in conduct ing its affairs.

TWO PERSONS TRY
 SUICIDE IN ANNISTON

Anniston, Jan. -tspeciaD-Tired of life, it is said Miss Willie Graham. an employe of the Robinson Cotton Mill. and Leo Gilbert, a young man we'll known Tn the city and elsewhere, attempted suicide Sunday night, the former by the use of carbolic acid and the latter by swallowing an ounce of laudanum.
 Gilbert almost succeeded in his pur- pose, but Miss Graham made a failure of her attempt
 Whether the two attempts were con- nected could not be ascertained, though 1t is said that when it was believed that Miss Graham had accomplished her own destruction, Gilbert chose to follow her in death and went to a drug store and purchased an ounce bottle of laudanum which he swallowed. Gil- belt denies that this is true. He says the attempt of the girl to end her life had nothing to do with his own act. but that he was simply tired of life.

Your Protection"

The most complete pictorial volume ever yet contemplated for a city of Montgomerys population IS being arrang- ed for, and these beautiful books telling of Montgomerys institutions and enter prises, great and small, will be circulated by the hundreds of thousands and where it will be effective. This feature alone cannot fail to bring trade and traffic from near surrounding territory to your door. and bring new industrial and commercial capital to Montgomery.
 As said before, the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company affects nothing more than its own interest in ex- banding its patronage. As its output in- creases 1t will, as 1t has in the past, and as withall progressive contemporaries in the larger cities, reduce rates and broaden the markets for 1t products.
 As the expansion goes on, and as rap idly as new industries come into our sys- tenn of service, the quicker will ideal conditions be realized.

 The broad minded men---the live-wire kind of which Montgomery has many have set the seal of their approval upon this movement Men and women are already sending in their suggestions for the big sign.
