THE "BUY-A-BALE"
MOVEMENT.
Meeting Gives Movement Impetus
Committee Makes Reports as to
Plans, The Buying.

The ''buy- -balef' movement was
given an impetus in Grenada last Fri
day afternoon when quite represep-
tative number of citizens gathered in
the directors room Of the Grenada
Bank to discuss conditions and to agree
upon plans of procedure. J. 7. Thom-
as was made president of the meeting
and 0. F. Lawrence secretary. Sew
eral short talks were made, all of which
indicated a marked humanity of senti-
ment. The meeting eliminated in the
appointment of committee consisting
of C. H. Calhoon, S. A. Morrison, S. s.
Roane, j. T. Keeton and O. F. Law
renee. Before adjourning the above
committee was asked to meet Saturday
morning ut $50 o'clock and adopt some
definite line of procedure. The COM
mittee met Saturday morning and made
the following report:
To ]. T. Thomas, President of
Buy a. Bale" Movement,
Grenada. Mississippi.
DearSir:-
We the undersigned the committee
named to draft uniform and definite
plans for the furtherance of the Buy
A Bale" movement in Grenada county,
beg to submit the following:
! l. That middling grade or better
cotton be purchased at ten cents per
pound but no bale exceeding $50 pounds
in weight shall be purchased as dis
tressed" cotton.
2. Your committee finds it difficult
to define Just what distressed cotton
is, individual cases will have to be con-
sidered on their merits. AS guide we
suggest that distressed" cotton means
what the name implies, that is, cotton,
the purchasing of which will relieve the
distresses of the producer. The pro
ceeds of cotton which are to be imme
diate1y turned over to the landlord Of
to the merchant could not be regarded
as distress sale.
8. Every purchaser. of course, cal
arrange his own plans for buying ant
for paying for cotton but we woul'
suggest that arrangements be mad
through this committee and that fund
be provided at some one of the bankin,
institutions of the county whereof
those who have their cotton passed up
on by this committee and classed a
distressed" may arrange ready sale
. The banks, we feel assured, stand read
to cooperate to this end.
4. The cooperation of every citize
of the county who can buy 'di.
tressed" bale should be urged.
! 5. The names of those who buy "dis
/. tressed" cotton should be furnished tn
4 press so that they may be publishe
weekly.
6. All distressed cotton offere
for sale must be passed upon by tn
committee or some member of it.
Z. That copies of this report be flu
nished the banks of the county.

REMNANT OF YELLOW
FEVER FUNDS.
Proposition to Turn Same Over to
Churches Rejected. Kings Daugh.
tiers Could Handle.

A fact, which has been known to a
number of the older citizens, became
general news in Grenada few days
ago and that was that there is S2,7 700,
principal and interest, left over from
funds subscribed for yellow fever suf-
ferers here in 1873, now thirty-six
years ago. The money was originally
in the hands of MIR. r. Mullin and Capt.
John Powell, the latter survived Mr..
Mullin and at his death the funds went
into thehands of his administrator, A.
c. Leigh. Mr.. Leigh addressed letter
to the authorities of the several church.
es in Grenada proposing to turn over
the funds to them, equal amounts to
each church, upon the condition that
good bonds be executed to guarantee
the faithful handling of same upon
terms which he named. His idea is
that the several churches shall keep
the principal intact and use only the in
terest, and that this can be used only
for the support or the relief of indigen,
ministers in Grenada.
1t is understood that the officials OF
the churches have carefully considered
Mr.. Leigh's proposition and that they
have all declined to accept the money
on the conditions which he seeks to i'm
pose. The allotment would slightly. ex
ceed $500 to each of the five churches
Naturally there have been many opin
ions expressed as to the disposition o.
the money and much speculation as t
what Mr.. Leigh will do with it, nov
that his proposal to the churches ha
been rejected Some assert that tht
churches should take the money on thu
conditions which Mr.. Leigh names ant
and then do whatsoever they please
as he would be wholly without author
ity to enforce the terms of the obiiga
tions: others assert that the none
should go to the municipality.
Doubtless some plan will soon D
evolved that will be acceptable to bot
