SOUTH ADVISED TO HOLD COTTON
 FOR GOOD PRICE
Smith Says Southeast Would Have Done Better By Not
 Growing Staple.

New Orleans, Sept. 8.-Declaring the southeastern states would be i'll vastly more prosperous condition today if they had never raised a bale of cotton, Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in an address late to- day before the meeting of cotton growers, factors and bankers, urged the necessity of holding cotton until the demand created a satisfactory price.
 "The cotton farmer should during the coming season, receive at least as high a price for his cotton as that at which cotton has sold at any time during the past twelve months" the senator declared
 He advised farmers to keep new cotton off the market entirely dur ing September and from the first of October on, selling slowly, only as manufacturers needed it.
 "In the meantime" he said, "while gradually selling your cotton, plant foodstuffs and raise cattle and hogs. Let the world understand that you will meet the situation until next fall, independent and owning your cotton." "' Ne'
 He endorsed the cooperative principles of the American Cotton Association under whose auspices the two days meeting is being held here, and referred to the cotton question as national, not sectional.
 A minimum price recommendation will be submitted to the meeting to- morrow bv a committee appointed today by J. s. Wannamaker, presi- dent of the association.

NATIONAL. L.IzATI0N
 OF MINES COMES: BEFORE BIC UNION
United Mine Workers of Amer ica Will Meet in Cleve-
 land.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 8.--Hundreds of miners were here tonight and each train brought more for the interna- tional convention of the United Mine Workers of America, which opens to- morrow. It is expected the conven tion will remain in session for two weeks or more. Approximately 2,O00 delegates from the United States and Canada are expected.
 This will be one of the most im- portant conventions in the history of the organization, which is one of the largest trades unions in America, ac- cording to officials tonight. One of the big questions to come up before the convention is the nationallZatlon of the mines. "The coal miners of America look forward to naturalization as an ul- innate solution of the coal problem v according to William Green, secre- tary- treasurer of the organization. "They have gone on record in a previ- ous convention as being generally III favor of naturalization of mines 'democratically managed, but we have no definite plan in any way com parable to the Plumb plan for the railroads"
 A policy committee of the interna- tional organization has had the ques- tion under consideration for several weeks and is expected to recommend that the government take over the mines. But as yet it is purely q question of general policy, according to Green, and is not demand. The only demands to be served on the coal operators are those affect ing wages, hours and conditions of labor, MT. Green declared.
 It is understood the demand will in- clude a six-hour day and five-day week.
 A joint conference between repre- sentatives of miners and operators will be held following the convention. An effort will be made to move the international headquarters of the union from Indianapolis to Cleveland, William Roy. president of District No. 5, United Mine Workers of Ohio, declared.

Their runs take them from mountain to seashore, from swamp to highland through rain and storm, cold and sleet, and they never falter in their duty. They must al- ways guard against disease.

SLOW GROWTH OF GRAMMAR
Interesting to Note Its Progress Since
the Days OF chaueer and

In the days Of Chaucer there were
undoubtedly differences among writ
ers which made their grammar and
spelling seem singular TO us; yet crude
though they were, the'art OF literary
composition was well advanced.
That, however, was not the greatest
age; It came In the Elizabethan pc
Rod; and while the literary peculiari-
ties of Shakespeare's style were strong
ly defined. 1t could not be said In any
sense that they revealed lack of knowl-
edge In either grammar or spelling.
the standards Of that day being suited
to the culture Of the time.
And a great advance had been made
over the days OF Chaucer. In the days
Of Addison, johnson, Swift, Congreve
and Goldsmith we find a great advance
with more unity In both grammar and
spelling.
The authorized version of the Bible
In the line Of literary workmanship
noted the greatest advance of all and
reached a point which has not been
surpassed II, indeed, equaled.
There was a certain latitude In SPELL
ing, II Is true, to which we today look
back with interested curiosity; but
even that was not the result Of ignO-
rance, but rather Of custom, which al
lowed the latitude. and II was In no
