Plans for Marketing Cotton
Gradually.

Texas bankers have made a move
that should be worth millions OF
dollars to the cotton growers oil
the South.
Presidents of the State bankers
associations of a number of South
ern cotton growing States, to-
gether with representatives, of the
Atlanta, Dallas and st. Louis
Federal Reserve Banks and dele.
gates from clearing. house associa,
tons and cotton centers through
out the South, met in Galveston
last week for the expressed pur.
pose of devising plans by which
cotton may be hereafter market
ed as needed instead Of being
dumped on the market in the first
fall months of the year as hereto
fore.
There was an entire cooperation
in the plans proposed, and the
hopeful feeling was expressed that
by carrying out the plans agreed
on it should be possible to add at
least a cent a pound to the receipts
of the producer of cotton.
The CO. operation of the Federal
Reserve Banks was assured of the
plan to discount notes of cotton
farmers and merchants secured bv
proper warehouse receipts for cot,
ton and accomplished by evidence
Of insurance and their proper pro
lection.
One ofthc important suggestions
made was that there shall be Sc.
Iectcd one hundred men from each
Statc-0ne hundred of the strong
est bankers and representatives
business mcn-to take the field in
he various cotton growing States
md to conduct two days simultan-
'oas campaign, calling meetings OF
merchants, bankers and producers
N practically every county in the
iouth and preaching to them the
,ospel of gradual marketing. These
nen, it was urged, should so as
representative bankers and bust
less men of the South, men whose
opinions the interior bankers and
merchants will respect; call on
hem, not only as patriotic citi
ems, but as good business men, to
warehouse their cotton, protect
heir bankers and merchants by
cotton warehouse receipts, extend
a portion of their obligations over
! graduated period, and put this
years crop ON the market as it is
needed. There was an enthusiasts
CSc unanimity of opinion that the
plan proposed will be entirely
practical.
The new Federal Reserve Bank
system was declared to be a vital
factor in making gradual market
ing plans possible, and it was de.
clarcd that there should be no
repetition of the dumping of cot.
Ton which sent the prices to the
low level that follow
ed the outbreak of the European
war last year.
While it was conceded that com
plcte adoption of the plan might
not be accomplished this year, it
was believed that eqentually it
will be so generally adopted as to
enable the South to market the
cotton crop during twelve months
in the year instead of three or
four. observation-disclosures Record.

W L Young J 0 Faser.
Melvin Roberts, charged with man.
slaughter, having killed a negro named
VIII Jones, son Of Henry Jones. Va
prosperous negro farmer and gin
owner, living near Gholson last winter,
pleaded guilty to the charge, and was
sentenced to the penitentiary for two
years at hard labor.
Will Jones, colored, who forged sew
eral orders on Messrs. |. T. Smith and
Joe Porter, signing the name Of Mr..
jeff Bell, was given four years in the
pen on two cases.
The cases against Jas. Stringfellow,
Jim Richards and Parks Morehead were
continued. The last two are white,
and were indicted by the grand jury at
the last term of court for stealing hogs.
The case against Jerry Williams was
mol prosed.
June Goodwin and Wheeler White
zach pleaded guilty to burglary and
larceny, and were sentencud TO the
pen for eighteen months at hard labor.
The trial Of June Goodwin for
breaking in the stores at Shuqualak
took up more Of the courts time than
any of the crses before it. A day and
a half was spent and the result came
near being a mistrial, n juror holding
out until the other eleven agreed to
recommend the defendant to the mercy
Of the court.
Wheeler White, an accomplice in
the same crime, who turned States
evidence, was given the same sentence.
Judge Carroll stated, in sentencing
Goodwin, that it was his opinion, from
the evidence in the case, that he de-
served the maximum sentence, seven
years, but that, where it was possible
to do so, he was always governed by
the verdict of the jury.
jury had recommended mercy, he
would make the sentence as light as
possible.
Nose Walker, who was sent to jail
several months ago by Justice Sennett,
of Mashulaville, for the murder..of his
wife, was found not guilty, the evil
dence not being sufficient to allow it to
go the jury, the judge discharging the
defendant on motion of his attorney.
jim Ballard, colored, well known as
Red" who killed Sam Place early
last spring by shooting him, was foun,
not guilty of manslaughter. Ballard
who is we'll liked by all who know him,
and has always been known as a peace
ful and quiet darkey, was saved by his
reputation and the fact that no malice
was shown. The claim was made and
is generally believed that the killing
was accidental.
Harvey Green, charged with selling
unsound meat to a number of citizens
of S%huqualak, was placed under a
bond of 5000 to insure his appearance
at the next term of court. 1t seems
that Harvey's row was, struck by an
engine and knocked from the track of
the Nj. o. 1t was. first thought that
the cow would recover from the hurt,
but when Harvey found that she would
probably die, he butchered her and
sold the meat to n number of citizens
at a reduced price. Luckily many
found out that the meat was unfit to
eat before partaking of it, but that the
offender was allowed to go into court
with his case is due to a remarkable
degree of forbearance.

Circuit Court.

The August term Of Circuit court
adjourned Thursday morning, after
being in session seven days-six days
last and one this week. Judge Carroll
has shown great tact in expediting
business, and what was probably the
largest docket that has been before a
term Of court for this county in a
number Of years, was cleared in a
remarkably short time. AS a result Of
the courts finding, there are seven
candidates for the State pe~nitentiary,
which number will break the record
for several years. past.

WILL HAVE OPENING

Tulsa's new detention home and
pleted and will be formally opened
next week. The structure, near the
old bungalow at Seventeenth and
Spark streets, is considered wholly
good s expected to be done there.
The home is under direction of the
humane society and there now are
many little folk harbOred there who
otherwise might be turned adrift.
Remarkable progress has been
made On the new building, but the
work has been done thoroughly.
Therefore, when the home is opened
! 1t should be among the best of its
kind in this part of TIE country.
Although there are several cities
the size Of Tulsa in which there are
TO detention homes, such institutions
are necessary and have done u re-
markable work. Thousands of chill

being left alone through deaths OF
parents or other misfortune, while
