SHORT WORK
OF THE COURT
IN LEESBURG
One DAY Term
Docket Was Light and Easily
Disposed OF
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Leesburg, Ga, May $50 short was
the docket for May term of Lee su-
perior court that Judge Littlejohn
practically concluded it with today 5
session, as the civil docket was dos
posed of before the noon recess today,
so that the criminal docket, which
was very light also, was disposed of
in the afternoon
A number of the lawyers from
Americas who had come down to at
tend the court returned on the early
afternoon train to Americas, as they
had no further legal business re-
curing their attention here. This is
but an illustration of how much the
city court does in the way of tighten.
ing the docket for the higher court.
At the recess of the court today,
Emmett Shaw, of Fort Gaines, adj
dressed the voters here in behalf of
his candidacy for congress from this
district. He was given respectful at
tention by those who were present in
attendance upon the session of the
court.

cotton TOOK
QUICK JUMP
On MONDAY
ADVANCED as POINTS HERE
Mainly Futures For Sale Now,
However

The cotton market did some uneX-
pected aeroplaning yesterday and sur
prised the dealers here when futures
advanced nearly a half cent per
pound. The actual advance for the
day was As points, which again puts
values up to the high water mark of
few days since.
In the Americas market spot values
did not follow altogether the sudden
jump in the contract market, as val
ues are regulated at this season large
ly by the demand for actual cotton
However, the finer grades probably
would have brought IL Ia cents on
yesterdays market, although there
was little demand and even few Of
ferings of actual cotton. The local
warehouses still hold 1900 or 1900
bales which owners seem in no great
hurry to sell at prices even above II
cents for the best

ROCK HILL
CONGRESS
IN ATLANTA
MAY MEET There IN JUNE
Large Number Of Delegates
Are Expected

Rock Hill, S. c., Map 6.-Following
a conference few days ago in CO.
lumJia between President E. ]. Wat
son of the Southern Cotton congress
and ]. G. Anderson, of Rock Hill,
originator of the Rock Hill Plan, -
for reduction of cotton acreage, Col.
Watson will shortly arrange for a
meeting of the congress in Atlanta,
probably next month, with view to
putting the congress on a permanent
basis, adequately financed and sound
" organized, to keep up the fight
throughall seasons for better cotton
market conditions.
Representatives of the cotton mills
and others interested in the problem
SO vitality affecting all classes of bus
mess in the South will be urged to
attend and lend their assistance.
The principal object of the confer
ence will be to lay the foundation
for permanent effort in the direction
of broadening the market for finished
goods, and the possibilities of the
opening of the Panama canal will re-
ceive special attention.
In this connection a letter just re-
ceived by Mr.. Anderson from Mr..
James A. TTomas, former North
Carolinian, from Shanghai, China,
where he has been a number of years
as oriental manager. for the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, is of inter-
est. Mr.. Thomas says:
Il most enthusiastically agree with
you, that there should be some con-
certed action to increase the con-
sumption of cotton goods. This coun-
try with its 430,O00,O00 people has
got to be clothed, and l think that
you and those who have helped you
to make the Rock Hill Plan a sue
cess, should now start to work to
make some new customers. There is
a big field for development and in
creasing the consumption of cotton
goods, and if some one would take up
this work l am sure that great bene-
fit would accrue. Get a cheap rate
of freight from the mills in the South
to China, and | am inclined to believe
that it will not be a great while be-
fore you would have to increase the
acreage, instead of reducing it"
IF you will take the map and
make a study of it you will find that
a direct line of steamers could be
run from the Southern states through
the Panama canal to this country, and
these steamers, if subsidized, would
enable the cotton mills in your part
of the country to compete with any
country in the world, so far as the
manufacture of cotton goods is con-
cerned. | am glad to hear that the
underlying conditions in the South
are good.
THE civil war which has been 60
ing on in China for the past six
months is serious and has hampered
all classes of trade, but we hope to
get a stable government very soon.
Now that China is a republic it will
develop as no country has ever de-
veloped in the next ten years"
