Threats to Burn Gins Deplored by
Cotton Speakers

Atlanta, Oct. S.-Threats to burn
cotton gins made generally over the
South in the last few days were de-
nounced here today by former Gov
ernor Manning of South Carolina,
and other speakers at meeting OF
bankers, cotton men and others called
in the interests of the $4,000 cot
ton corporation proposed by the Amer
lean Cotton Association.
Formation of the corporation, speak
ers declared would be by Southern

tablishment would enable cotton pro-
ducers to hold their staple for a rea-
sonable price, and also would aid in en-
tering foreign markets now closed to
them.

lima was less for last month than fol
the September of 1919 by more thar
three million pounds and netted te
the planters more than half million
dollars less than in September of last
year, the prices averaging 17.46 as
