HALLOWEEN NIGHT.
Kids and a few "Grown-Ups" Made
Merry Last Night.

The spooks cut some queer didoos
last night, and there were strange
noises heard throughout the city til
way at.er midnight but so far no
material damage has been reported.
The lads evidently took the warning
of the chief of police seriously and
refrained from committing acts OF
vandalism that has character'7"
Halloween festivities in the past.
Some of the citizens were trifle
sore" this morning when they arose
to find their front gate missing, and
some complained that their buggies
and wagons were harbored in strange
places, but they as rule punctuated
their complaint with a grin and all
was well. Many Halloween parties
were held in the city by the younger
set.

the south must withhold from the
market every remaining bale OF the
present seasons crop OF cotton and
from this with a concerted and bind
ing agreement to reduce next season s
cotton acreage at least 10 per cent,
if they wish to restore the south 5
great money staple to a nominal
price level and retrieve their losses
,uz,s ined ~ reason OF the presen'
low Prices
This IS the Jlan which the confer
ence OF southern governors adopted
at its concluding session Tuesday to
secure Immediate relief from the de-
preston in the price of the staple.
As means of securing permanent
relief from such conditions and to
guarantee the farmers iii the future
against the necessity of gluttoning
the market with his supply in the
opening of the season, the conference
adopted resolutions favoring the es-
tablishment in every cotton growing
state controlled warehouses and the
collection and periodical publications
of statistics bearing upon the world S
demand for and the consumption OF
American cotton.
The proposal Of foreign banking
interests to finance a holding move
ment covering 100000 bales OF the
present crop wa2 referred to a spe-
cial committee for further action.
IF the plans as outlined are put
into operation without delay said
Governor Colquitt, Of Texas, the faith
er Of the conference, there is bound
TO he an almost immediate increase
in the price Of cotton and traders
in the speculative world will be put
to rout. The statistics which We
have compiled showing the worlds
demand for American cotton, prove
beyond doubt that every pound Of
this years crop is worth 10 cents
or more. The battle is won if the
south's farmers will stand firm"
The following is among the recon-
mendations made:
I'VE earnestly recommend TO the
planter of the south TO follow the
example of Louisiana and so diver
sify their crops as to produce every
thing necessary for consumption on
the farm and let cotton be the sur
plus crop. even if the quantity raised
shall be % per cent less than the
present. as then they will get just as
much in return for much less labor
than this years crop will yield at
present prices. They will then soon
free them selves from debt and be in
