AGAINST GOVERNORS PLAN
EASTERN CAPITALISTS cRlTlClSE
GOVERNORS, SCHEME FOR
MARKETING COTTON.
Accumulation Of 100000 Bales May
Have Bad Effect on the
Market.

New York.-Bankers and cotton men
here are skeptical as to the practica
bility of the plan approved by the re-
cent conference of Southern govern,
ors for handling the cotton crop with
the assistance of an unnamed foreign
syndicate. The plan is for the pur'
chase of about two million bales OF
the cotton crop and it's warehousing
at central points for distribution when
cotton prices have been put back to
satisfactory levels.
1t is declared by financial experts
that if the scheme is to follow the
lines more or less successfully estab-
lished by Brazil in financing its sur,
plus coffee crop, it would be neces-
sary for the foreign bankers to have
credit of the cotton-growing states
behind their loan as we'll as the cot
ton itself as collateral.
The credit of some of the principal
cotton growing states has been seri
ously damaged by the reputation of
loans on bonds issued after the civil
war and many of which are still held
by foreigners who make periodic eff
forts to collect. For this reason bank
ers say great difficulty might be expe-
rienced in obtaining foreign capital on
such security.

ROCK ISLAND TRAIN HELD UP
Special Train With Bloodhounds is
Sent to Scene of the Big
Robbery.

Memphis, Tenn. Seven masked
men boarded the Western express
train on the Rock Island railroad at
Bridge Junction, Ark, opposite Mem
phis, bound the express messenger
and blew up the safe, taking 100000
from the United States Express com
pany, admitted that there was not
less than half a million dollars in the
express safe on the train shipped
from Memphis banks to smaller banks
in Arkansas between here and Little
Rock and Newport, Ark. He denies
the loss of, any money, but railroad
officials and special agents say the
robbers must have secured 100000.
At least the express agents are as yet
unable to locate four packages of $780,
900 each.
Postmaster Dutro admits that every
registered mail pouch was rifled and
the contents are gone. The robbed
train is known as No. AZ. 1t is the
fastest train running from Memphis
west over the Rock Island carrying
heavy express and mail.
The explosion of the express safe
reused passengers from the day
coaches, but when they stuck their
heads out of the windows the three
men guarding the train from the
ground fired at random.

was administered to the eight mem
bers of his cabinet. At the same time

PLEDGE SOUTHERN FARMERS
Plan to Hold Cotton for 10 Cents Up
to Planters.

Plan to Hold Cotton for 10 Cents Up
to Planters.
Columbia, s. C.-Urging the holding
of every available bale of cotton I'M
til September l, 1912, If necessary, for
price of 10 cents per pound and the
reduction of the acreage next year to
not exceeding 60 per cent. of the area
BILE lands of the farmers, kilograms
were dispatched from the office of E.
]. Watson, president of the Southern
Cotton congress- to each commission
er of agriculture and each state presi-
dent of farmers unions in the states
throughout the cotton belt. The plans
aim to effect an immediate belt-wide
retirement of cotton from the market
and follows an action taken by the
farmers convention here.
In substance the plan calls for
books of agreement to be opened in
every county throughout the belt in
which farmers will be asked to sign
pledges to hold stated number of
bales of cotton until September 1 or
until a price of 10 cents is reached.
Other pledges are to be asked of the
farmers, that they will not cultivate
more than go per cent. of their lands
in cotton next year. An assessment of
3 cents per bale is called for from
cotton-growers to pay expenses of the
campaign.
These kilograms were sent out
throughout the belt and action is be-
ginning in this state to carry out the
plan in every communion of cotton
growers. The pledges will be publish
ed daily in the state newspapers.

"Create in me a clean heart, o
| God. Psalms 51:1O.
This, il is none too strong TO say, is
radically fundamental. To put the
last first the agent invoked is the
foundation of all being and doing.
This cry of very penitent sinner,
rising out of the depths, rests for its
help on the great first cauSe-God.
The action asked is fundamental 1t
is Crcation-new creation. AS God
has, by natural process created" US,
so by spiritual and regenerative pro-
cess, He is asked to recreate US in
our inward and hidden partS-in our
hearts. And so the direct objective
is fundamental. According TO the old
conception, the heart was the center
of being. Out of the heart are the
issues of life. AS a man thinketh in
his heart, so is he. To create the
heart anew, therefore, is TO regener
ate manhood. This is what the
PsalmiSt asked for himSelf-a new
manhood. The indirect object of
this rcCreative action is also basic
create in me clean heart" This
royal pcnitent began with the first
intcger of social regeneration-hiS
own first personal self And from
him as center, he would help the
process 10 spread in converting sin
nerS. This cry for "clean heart"
is radical. 1t touches the tap root of
sin. II is cry for the healing of the
waters al their sources. If ever the
sewage OF sin and social yiciouSneSS
in the world is wholly reduced and
dried up and cured, ii shall be by the
creating of the clean heart in the in
dividual The first step toward real
izing a clean world is a clean man.
