STATEWIDE COTTON
MEETING CALLED.

ATLANTA Oct. Gov. Hugh M.
Dorsey today issued a proclamation
for the statewide cotton convention
which has been called to be held in
the hall of the House of Representa-
tives, State capitol, Atlanta, on Octo-
Der 1916 by the Georgia Division,
American Cotton Association.
The governor, in his proclamation,
invites and urges a full attendance
of the people from all sections of the
state at the conference, 'that in uni
ty of action and singleness of purpose
the best interest of the people may
be preserved"
''In the present unstable condition
of the cotton trade and the depressed
value of the raw staple" declares
Governor Dorsey, cit is deemed advis-
able by the officials of the American
Cotton Association that the repre-
sentatives of the cotton growing in
terests of the state, bankers, mer-
chants and others, should assemble
together in joint conference for the
purpose of discussing and taking ac-
tion upon the wisest and best meth
ods of handling and marketing the
1920 crop. The continued progress
and prosperity of the state depends
largely upon it's agricultural popu
lation and the producers of the pri-
mary wealth of Georgia are entitled
to fair and reasonable values for
their products. Wholehearted, CO.
operative efforts on the part of the
people at this time, it is hoped, will
tend to greatly improve the situa
ton and prevent a possible financial
depression on the farming and com.
mercial life of the state"
President R. W. Mattox, of the
Georgia Division of the cotton as
sociation, in announcing details o.
the convention, said today that some
of the most prominent statesmen anc

"The dispute has not been one of
principle, for the Republican party
has supported and does support the
principle. The contention has been
over methods, and on methods men
must divide and good craftsmanship
will compromise. To have obstinately
held up the peace of the world for
eighteen months, to have rejected the
opportunity of amicable adjustment
of differences as to methods; to have
projected the issue into the presiden-
tial election, is the greatest failure of
American craftsmanship since the
civil war. The solmen referendum
is not on the League; it is on the fail
ure of the Democratic party"
