COTTON CRISIS TO Be |
CONSIDERED ON FRIDAY
A Meeting at the Court House in
Marietta to Devise Plan of
Concerted Action.

Farmers, bankers, merchants and
others interested in the price of cot
ton and the general financial state
of the coutry have been called for a
meeting at the court house in Mari
eta, on Friday morning, December
3rd, at ten o'clock, for the purpose
Of hearing some plans for relief to
to state commissioner of agriculture
j. j. Brown, Mr.. Martin Amorous,
and others who have been studying
means Of meeting the present crisis.
Already the farming interest of
the west has been active in Wash
ington, demanding the; re-organiza-
ton of war boards or other govern
ment machinery necessary to cope
with the situation as it relates to the
west, and if there is not immediate
and unanimous demand made from
this section that cotton be included
in any such measures that may be
determined upon, the south will be
cut off from hope of obtaining any
government relief whatever.
1t will only be possible to hope for
favorable action of any kind by let
ting politics be kept entirely out of
the whole matter, and so far as we
are informed there is no disposition
in Washington to treat the matter
as partisan affair, and the whole
commercial fabric of the country is
so bound up in it that it can not be
treated lightly.
We know that there would not
be any hope of government action if
the demand is made for cotton alone
but the time seems opportune for
combination with the farmers of the
west, who have wheat and hogs and
other farm products, which have cost
them more than the present prices
by far.
1t can not be denied that every
commercial and business interest in
the south is vitality affected by the
price of cotton, and all will suffer
as the price declines, so bankers are
more anxious than any other single
class to find relief, because their
business is intimately related to ev-
cry other business, but merchants are
also sufferers, having piles of stock
in their stores purchased at prices
far in excess of present selling rates.
But for the fact that the farmers of
the south have largely held their own
cotton up to this time, every mer-
chant who is in the habit of buying
the cotton of his customers would be
worse than bankrupt today.
There are many who have pretty
clear ideas of what has been the
cause of the present situation, but
it is no time to reflect on the past,
except insofar as to prevent any
recurrence of disaster, the thing to
study at this time is relief-imme-
date relief. Fortunately the south is
better supplied with food than form
erly was the case in years af finan-
cial stress, and fewer will actually
suffer for food perhaps than before.
If you can do so, attend the meet
ing Friday morning and let there
be unanimity of action, for only in
unity is there strength.

DEATH CLAIM ONE
OF MARIETTA,S SONS
William A. DuPre Dies Suddenly on
Tuesday Morning in Orlando,
Florida, Hospital.

The whole city of Marietta was
shocked and saddened on Tuesday by
news of the death of William A. Du-
Pre-, which occurred that morning in
hospital in Orlando, Florida.
Mr.. DuPre, with his wife and two
sons, left Marietta only last week to
spend the winter in Florida. He had
been sufferer from Brights disease,
but his business activity gave his
friends little cause to fear that his
condition was so serious, and the mes
sage telling of his death came as a
distinct shock to his relatives and
friends.
Up to the day of his leaving Mari
eta he was seen daily at his usual
duties as manager of Anderson Bros.
Co., being also vice-president of that
company, and a director of the Mari
eta Trust & Banking Company, and
the Brumby Chair Co.
Active in the business life of Mari
eta, and closely associated with its
growth and progress, he was known,
respected and loved by thousands of
warm friends and associates.
He was also intimately connected
with the social life of the city, having
served only last year as president of
the Golf Club, to which position he
declined reelection. His interest in
the cub and it's welfare was unbound
ed, and this was deeply appreciated
by its members. Many social event
for this week in Marietta have been
cancelled, and the club is closed al
together for the week.
He was a man of large capacity,
unusual ability, and the highest char
acter.
Mr.. DuPre was born in Marietta,
April 7, 1877, being in his forty
fourth year. His father was Chas.
W. DuPre, and his mother was sis
ter of Mr.. Jas. 7. Anderson. Mr..
Ed DuPre of Allatoona, and Mr.. Hen
ry DuPre of Powder Springs, are also
living uncles of Mr.. DuPre. Chas.
w. and Harry N. DuPre of Marietta
are his brothers.
Mr.. DuPre married Miss Liela
Banks of Gainesville, Ca, who with
two young sons, William and Banks,
survive him.
His body, accompanied by mem
bers of the family and Mr.. P. c.
Townsend of Orlando, arrived in Mar
ietta at $50 "Wednesday afternoon,
Just one short week from the time he
left for Florida.
The funeral was conducted from
the home at ESQ Wednesday after
noon, being led by DR.. G. Rembert
Smith of Newman, former pastor of
Marietta Methodist church, assisted
by DR.. Patton and Rev. ]. M. Tumlin.
The floral offering fairly deluged the
home and were most rare and beauti-
full.
The pail bearers were Messrs. w.
H. Irrelevant, L. N. Trammell, P. c.
Townsend, w. H. Parkinson, G. A.
Griffin, T. M. Brumby, Jr., Geo. E.
Daniel and B. A. White.
All the stores and places of bust
ness in Marietta were closed during
the funeral hours and the host of
friends in attendance attested in part
the respect and esteem in which he
was held.
His sudden and untimely death has
cast pail of gloom over our entire
city and county.

The election of Obregon as presi-

that most turbulent country, and now
the United States is preparing to give
recognition to the administration of
Obregon. Villa seems to have been
satisfied and all other rebels either

He will also visit Fargo and Bis

IN speaking of the advantages

CITY WATER IS o. K,
DR.. LONG DECLARES

There are reports in circulation
that the city water is impure due to
the high foods. DIR. Alfred q. Long,
director of the North Dakota public
health laboratory, has issued a. state
ment which proves that the rumors
have no foundation whatever.
An extract from the statement fol-
lows:
ITO set at ease the minds Of the
citizens of Grand Forks . as to
the purity of the water being sup
piled by the city at the present time.
I feel, that our health officer, Samuel
Claman, by Of careful eye
sight has been able to supply the
citizens with a water Of very high
quality during this period of high
water '~ Daily examinations of
the water are being made at the filter
plant and frequent examinations are
made at the laboratory at the univer-
sity. so that the public may rest as
sured that the health of the COM
munity is being cared for.
