Farmers’ Convention Closes ’Mid Songs of Joy and Good Will. By J. E. BODENHAMER. <£ Hpeofnl to Tbo Oeorglnn. Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 6.—AmK* nongs of Joy, cheers, happy wishe* and God-speed, the third annual convention of the National Farmers' Union came to a close yesterday afternoon. The great convention that meant so much to the farmers- of America had passed Into history, but Its effort will be felt for j’ears to come. The delegates bade farewell and started for their homes, from Califor nia to North Carolina, and from Flor ida to the state of Washington. One of the lust acts of ths convention was the fixing of the minimum price of cotton seed, which was $20 per ton. Delegates from Georgia and Texaa left for Hot Rprlngs to spend today sightseeing. STARTS TROUBLE New York, Sept. 6.—Tho "silent treat ment" of a plcbe Lt West Point has re sulted In a clash between tho plobo class and the commandant. Colonel Robert Lee Howse. Colonel Hoivxo Issued an order two days ago to tho effect that unless the cadet was re lieved entirely of the "treatment" ho could dishonor by a discharge the en tire clase. Cadet Bock, the son of a wealthy Chicago man. Is the yoang man around whom the trouble centers. He Is a plebe, but he has not won the friend ship of Ms fellow plebes. The cadet In "the yearling does" who hazed him Is a Georgia cadet and his name Is Sher man. His manner of hazing was so - mild that when * he was reported by Bock, the latter's classmates turned against him and began the punishment that he Is suffering from. AGREE ON 15 CENTS Fifteen cent cottonl On this proposition, at least, the two great organizations of farmers In tho cotton producing belt are united. First, In the annual meeting of the Farmers’ Union In Little Rock the slo gan wa* “Fifteen Cent Cotton." Presi dent Charles S. Barrett and the entire great organisation he heads stand squarely behind that proposition, nnd the union claims near a million mem bership. Now, the current Issue of the South, ern Cotton Journal, the official organ of the Southern Cotton Association, headed by Harvle Jordan, who Is also editor of the.paper named, comes out straight for 16 cent cotton. On tho front page of the Issue for September 5 appears the following: Five reasons why cotton should bring 15 cents per pound: 1. Because It Is worth that price. 2. Because the world Is fully able to pay It and will need every bale pro duced this year, and more, for con sumption during the next twelve months. 1. Because spinners have contracted their output at prices that will enable them to make handsome profits aftec paying 15 cents for the raw material. 4. Because the grower should and cught to have the profits that some one else will pocket, unlese cotton should bring 15 centg. 5. Because the farmer, who Is the foundation of the nation's wealth and credit. Is entitled to a profit on hi* labor—Is the best reason why cotton should bring 15 cents per pound.
