,rHE WORLD EXPECTS TO PAY 10
TO IL CENTS FOR COTTON
SAYS HiGHToWER.
MATTER OF VITAL IMPORTANCE
Law OF Supply And Demand Should
Move Price To 13 Cents, But The
Market Is In The Hands OF Manip-
~ ulators, And Farmers Should Hold.

Urging the farmers of Mississippi |
to adhere to the movement started for |
a gradual marketing of the cotton |
crop, President G. r. Hightower, OF
the Farmers Union, Mississippi di-
vision, has advised the members to
hold their cotton. He declares that
the downward trend of cotton during
the past two months is not warranted,
explaining that the world will need
this wear 4000, 900 bales of American
cotton, while estimates of the best
informed experts place the crop at
from twelve to thirteen million bales.
"The world has expected to pay not
less than 13 to IA cents for this crop
and yet today we are selling cotton
for ten cents per pound" he says.
This is not only a tremendous finan-
cial loss to the Southern States, but
I -,Jill also result in the balance of the
E>f,Ade at the close of the next fiscal
I year being against the United States
The price of cotton this season, there
fore, becomes a matter of vital i'm
portance to the South and the nation
itself. The people of the South do
not want price for their produce not
warranted by the laws Of supply and
demand. but they do want, and ought
to have a price based on that law
"With the market conditions in the
hands of manipulators there is only
one solution of the problem. Every
interest in the South should cooper
ate in the movement for gradual mar
keting. The South is financially able
TO take care of this crop. 1t can b'
withheld from the market with thu
South's capital, without outside assist
ance.

Special to The Neps.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 25.-Charged
with the poisoning of his employer,
Tom Brown, a negro farm hand, is
in the county Jail at Oakland await
ing the action of the grand jury. The
negro was brought before Judge Ber-
ry but waived preliminary examina-
ton. and was remanded to Jail in de-
fault of bond in the sum of $500.
There was no malice in the heart
of the negro. He was devoted to A.

east of Oakland, and wanted his mas
ter to love him. Tom heard of love

them into a jug of water from which

and it was only through prompt ser

MANY APPLICANTS
FOR CLEMENCY
Fare and Appeal to the
Governor.

Jackson Miss, Sept. 25.-The exc !
cutive office of Governor Noel is be-
ing besieged with applications for
pardon for convicts who have been
sent to the county farms for various
offenses. Within the past ten days
seven applications were presented to
Governor Noel. and he is spending
very nearly all his days and half the
nights listening to appeals from rela-
tives and friends of the convicts.
The latest petition filed with the
governor is on behalf of F. r. Powell,
indicted in Simpson county and con-
victed in Covington county on a
charge of embezzlement. The petit
ton cites nine reasons why Powell
should be released. Governor Noel
has the pardon petition under consid-
Grafton.
C. W. Osborn, convicted at the May
term, 1910, of the circuit court of Tai
lahatchie, for the crime of arson, and
sentenced to serve eight years, is
tired of penitentiary fare and also
wants a pardon. He explains in his
petition that there was strong senti
ment against him at the time of his
trial by reason of certain other crimes
which were committed by his rela
tives and for which he was convicted
He charges that the jury was preju
diced against him and returned yer

dence.

marshal, and a number of attorney
, has been presented on behalf o
