We request every cotton exchange
in the South to join Us in this de
sirable work If this plan can be
put in operation it will save the
South millions Of dollars on cotton
that is still unsold and guarantee a
remunerative price for the next crop.
We wish to have the governor OF
every cotton growing state declare
Feb. 18th a holiday and hold a
meeting in each county on that date
to discuss the reduction of acreage.
Won't your exchange join US in
this work? Answer.

Regrettable Difficulty.

An ARRAY. which is sincerely re-
GREETED by the friends of c. II. Yer
ner and Reuben Irwin, prominent
planters. occurred near Hamilton,
Monday afternoon. 1t is alleged
that Mr.. Werner fired one shot which
took effect in Mr.. Irwin right breast
inflicting a dangerous wound.
Little is known of the particulars
that led to the difficulty. Rumor
has it that it occurred oyer tenant
who had moved from Verner's to-
Twins farm. Self-defense will be
entered as a plea for the necessity
of using the pistol, that weapon be-
ing used with no intent to hit but
to stop Irwin, who is alleged to have
been advancing upon Werner with
clevis. While Mr.. Irwin is danger
ously wounded, he has fair show of
recovery unless pneumonia sets in.

A large number of people were
knocked out of their voting priv.
leges last year in the senatorial cleo
ton because they had neglected to
register. This year you should look
more carefully after this matter.
You know you must pay your taxes
before the 1st of February If you
would vote in this years primaries.
You must also be registered. The
county registrar will make his rounds
this spring as the law directs that a
registration must be had every cleo
ton year. He will probably start
on his rounds, due notice of which
will be given in these columns. about
May 1st. Pay your taxes before the
LIST of February and be ready when
the registrar comes to your voting
place to register.

Great Cotton Acreage Suicidal.

The governors of the cotton grow
ing states will be asked to declare a
holiday for the purpose of getting
cotton farmers together to reduce
the cotton acreage and to increase
the production of food and feedstuffs.
Safe and Sane Farming Day will
be Feb. 10Th.
a committee of five has been del
egated by the Memphis Cotton Ex-
change to 90 to Nashville for the
purpose of laying the matter before
Gov, Roberts. The same commit
tee was also instructed to present
the matter to Gov Brough of Ar
kansas, and Gev. Bilbo of Missis-
sippi kilograms will probably be
sent as the quickest and most prac-
teal way OF getting in touch with
the governors of other states.
A general meeting of the Cotton
Exchange was held for the purpose
of considering the vitality important
question of cotton acreage, and the
following telegram was sent to other
exchanges:
At a general meeting of the Men,

Truth is, disguise it as you may,
the people are tired of drives. They
submitted to them during the war,
when there was urgent need for funds
and subscribed most literally; but
now the war is over the people want
a rest. The drive business became
the popular thing during the war
and drives of every imaginable kind
were made; but from now on they
will become more and more unpop-
ular, each succeeding drive being
harder than the first. The people

Could it Be ?

The world epidemic of pneumo-
influenza which has taken death
toll of almost every people under
the sun has baffled the skill of scien-
lists to determine its origin. charac-
ter or treatment.
Eminent doctors are not agreed
as to its treatment, and no way has
been found to effectually stay the
spread of the dreadful malady. 1t
appears to travel in waves. the waves
having a crest and depression as do
the waves of the sea. Each wave
sweeps on its crest a toll of human
lives and is followed by successive
waves that take equal or increased
toll of death. Many theories have
been advanced as to the origin of
the malady, but none of them has
been demonstrated to be more than
a theory.

the belligerent armies in Europe

CALL OFF BIG RAIL STRIKE
Threat of Big Traffic Tieup Is Removed
After Spirited Meeting at Chicago
Lay Trouble to |. w. w.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-The break in the
railroad shop crafts strike came on
Thursday when representatives of 81
600 car men decided by an overwhelm-
ing vote to return to work. The vote
to remain in utilization with the inter-
national organization of the union in
stead of with the Chicago district
council of federated shop crafts which
has had charge of the strike, came
after spirited session during which
it was charged that the l. w. w. has
been responsible for the rebellion in
the ranks of the shop men. The reso-
luton providing that the men resume
work was presented by P. A. Halleen,
president Of the central body of car
men, at a mass meeting in Car Mems
hall. The meeting was addressed
by J. NJ. Patterson, International vice
president Of the association, who laid
the disturbances in the Chicago dis
trict to the influence of a red" ele-
ment.
