ent for a general conference on the
situation. However no definite an
nounc ement will be made until later.
Business interests and men are
growing daily more optimistic about
the situation and say that is is clearing
up very perceptibly. There is no doubt
that the huy-a-hale movement has put
heart into the people and improved
conditions to an appreciate degree.
The further fact that in marke IS
about the state within the past few
days cotton in small quantities as Of
fered has been bringing from IL 70
8 cents and has buoyed affairs up no
little.
The belief is growing steadily
stronger that farmers and business in
terests can expect to receive no sub
stantial aid as regards cotton from the
national congress. 1t seems assured
from all the best sources of informa-
ton that congress is not going to do
anything worth mentioning, so it is
necessary to look in other directions
in solving the problem.
There has been quite medal printed
and said as to con gressional aid b1t
nine out of ten know that this is a
very remote probability. =.

CONGRESS WILL DO MOTH.
Ing TO help The SOUTH
Gov. SIatOD Says No Help
May Be Expected

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. Ex-Governor
John NJ. Slaten returned today from
Washington, where he had attended
the conference en- the cotton situation.
He declared that congress did not seem
disposed to do anything to aid the
Southern planter.
Congress is row in session and it 5
wholly within he province and func-
tons of congress to do something 20
relieve the distressing conditions" Ne
said. But it appears that nothing will
be done.
Congress inaugurated the great IT.
rigation plan for the Western states,
and only recently RENTED interest on
a fifty million dollar loan.
1T has valorized silver in the inter
est Of the miners of the West.
1T appropriated money for the relief
of San Francisco after her disaster.
But when the South asks for relief
we are given a respectful hearing with
& view, it seems, of finding some
grounds for refusing to help US"
While in Washington Governor Sla-
ton addresses a meeting of Farmers
Union officials, detailing his views on
the cotton situation.

A gentleman from North Carolina
said here today that mills there were
unable to buy cotton under 10 cents
and that spinners had about concluded
to pay that price and stock up. If this
same condition becomes general, it
will improve conditions wonderfully
within the next few weeks.

Whatever may come to this country,
PROSPERITY, with ten big letters,

1t is interesting to note the speed
with which news travels, and the types
of news that travel fastest. If dog
