is some talk here that Governor Will

consideration in connection with the

1t is considered highly probable in

consider the appointment of slher
Governor Wilson on Judge Cochran.

This talk merely is speculative. as
the President is away and no person

Season was quite marked, and after
a Very poor start during July and
August, the plants in practically
every section came forward rapidly,
bringing about what appears to be i
larger yield than was estimated four

be made as follows: kentucky 49,

to the members asking that the
amendments be allowed to go into
effect at once. When this red tape
is unwound, the executive committee
will start to everyone possible in the
number of members of the Chamber

Another amendment that was ap-
proved was the one limiting the quor-
um of the executive committee to
