GOVERNORS URGED
TOATTEND COTTON
MEETING BYDORSEY

Governor Dorsey on Monday sent 10
the governors of the cotton growing
states a telegram urging them to at
tend the meeting of the cotton states
advisory marketing board to be held in
Atlanta next Thursday for the purpose
OF taking steps to prevent a further de-
cline IN the price of cotton.
The board is composed of the COM
missioners of agriculture and market
bureau directors OF the cotton growing
states. j. j. Brown, Georgia state COM
missioner of agriculture, is president
of the board. His call for the meeting
was issued Saturday in response to a
request from Governor Manning, OF
South Carolina. In his call Commits
s.Oner Brown strongly urged the gov
errors of the cotton growing states to
attend the meeting, as well as producers
of cotton, merchants, bankers and other
supplemented the call with a telegram
To the governor of each cotton growing
state. The telegram sent Monday by
Governor Dorsey followed up the pre-
yious telegram sent by Commissioner
Brown.
Governor Dorsey's telegram read as
follows:
The cotton states advisory mar
keting board has issued a call for
meeting of the board at the state
capitol in Atlanta next Thursday,
November Z, at 10 o'clock, and has
requested the several governors of
V.se with them as to the best course
of action to pursue in regard to the
marketing of cotton. l join in in
viting you to be present and 1 urge
you to attend"
The telegram went to Governor Hen
derson. of Alabama; Governor Cats. of
Florida: Governor Brought, of Arkan-

Governor Bilbo. of mississippi; Govern
or Beckett. of North Carolina; Governor
William, of Oklahoma; Governor Rye,

as; Governor Stuart, of Virginia; Gov
ernor Manning, of South Carolina.
Commissioner Brown stated Monday
that he expects a full attendance of
the commissioners of agriculture and
market bureau directors. and had al
ready received indirect information
THAT several governors would probably
attend.
In the meantime Commissioner Brown
reiterates his appeal to the farmers
the south not to sell a sin
gle bale of cotton until the price goes
back to a point where the farmers can
sell at a profit. The present price, rang
ing between IS and 80 cents. is less
than the cost of production, declares
Commissioner Brown.

They were expected today or tomor-
row-probably today.
No definite announcement, however.

the sole guide was the statement OF
French Commissioner Tardieu Saturday
night that they were to be expected
Monday or Tuesday.

the field of battle as to how she may Cd

Peace Conference Talk
SO confident is the national capRal

a cessation of hostilities that consid-
era ton is already given the location Oh
peace conference.
Washington is strongly talked and
favored not only by AmeItcan 9lncl as
but by many diplomats. Brussels also
is mentioned--but no decision has been
reached, even tentatively.
The element favorinS Washington say
that President wilson IS entitled 10

site because his have been the basic
peace ideas accepted by all oelliGer-
CntS 4 lSo, his wish 10 attend the peace
if the conclave were held in America
than if it were elsewhere. Further, re-
construction problems must go on apace.
There will be app0rtionments Of food
and raw materials. And, Washington
now is the center of both these mat
ters.
Nearly every one in authority believes
Germany will not elect to night on un-
der these condItions-alone against the
world.
Eu1nors of the kaiser's abdication are
prevalent, but lack any veri1cation.
His Endorsement of electoral reforms
is taken as a realization upon his part
that he had to submit to some shearing
of his power. But, that he is deter
mined to retain his reign as long rs
possible appears certain. His presence
now at grand headquarters might indi-
cate he has decided to place his fate
in the hands OF his general staff whose
creed is naturally monarchial.
