(pedal to The Georgian. New Orlean,. Oct. S.—Major A. Kent Amacker. of Lake Providence, who haa had personal charge of the arrange* ments for the presidential hunt In East Carroll parish, Louisiana, tells In an Interesting wny how to trail and kill bear. Major Amacker. who Is a mem ber of the stafT of Governor Blanchard, has had experience In the canebrakee of north Louisiana and is regarded as one of the best hunters In that section. "It I, not difficult," says the major, •'to tell when a bear 1, around. When the mast—which means acorns and other feed—Is; plentiful In our country. Bruin Is sure to make his appearance. He spends the day In the canebrake and at night he goes out foraging In the open country, leaving trucks bold enough for anyone to see. The mast this year Is especially good and through Bruin’s hunt for It Holt'Collier, who has been looking up trails, haa been able to mark out no less than eight dif ferent tracks, which mean as many bear In the brakes." Major Amacker thinks that the presi dent will have an opportunity, In view of the trails struck by Collier, and es pecially the more potent fact of the presence of the big game as evidenced by the good luck of a local hunter who a week ago brought Into Lake Province a dead bear that weighed (00 pounds, which was shot In the East Carroll canebrakes.

At the meeting Friday night of Camp A, Wheeler's Cavalry, Confed erate veterans, strong resolutions were adopted, vigorously condemning Guer- ber'a history and Its author, a woman, for the disrespectful way In which It refers to General John II.

The following are the resolutions, which deal with tho history and the author In unmistakable terms; "Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 4.—Whereas, In a late Issue of The Atlanta Georgian there appeared a dispatch from Louis ville, Ky.. stating that a school his tory recently came to light In the ‘Blue Grass State' denouncing General John H. Morgan aa a horse thief. "Kentuckians In all parts of the state are sending out Indignant protests condemning In the most vehement manner this wanton and scurrilous epi thet hurled at one of her distinguished eons, whose mortal remains mgv rest In the beautiful cemetery at I/CXlngton. 'A woman 1s credited as the author of this cowardly, diabolical denuncia tion of one of the South's most dashing cavalry leaders. “Cold and withered must be the heart of any woman who would aend forth to the world such a false and malicious slander, reflecting upon the high char acter of auch a man ns Oencral Mor gan, whose knightly courtesy to the opposite sex was rarely, If ever, sur passed. Therefore, be It "Resolved, That this camp regards ths false and slanderous epithet as a serious reflection-upon every soldier In the South who was attached to the cavalry arm of tho service. “Resolved, further, That we regard this false and malicious slander as em anating from a depraved and vicious mind, incapable of comprehending the true Instincts of a chivalrous, courtly gentleman. It la evldont from tha no tice referred to that'some of the by ways of New England aro atlll strewn with dragons' teeth. “J. P. AUSTIN. “One of Morgan's Old Command.'

Circular Sets Forth Reasons Why Farmers Should Hold For 15 Cents, f The sub-committee of the national executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association has Issued on ad dress to cotton growers setting forth the reasons why the association has fixed 15 cents as a Just and reasonable price for cotton. The address follows; "To Owners and Producers of Cotton: “As a committee from the national executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association, now In session here, bolng instructed to Issue to the cotton growers of the South an address set ting forth the reasons which controlled our organisation In fixing the minimum price at 16 cents: "First. When the Southern Cotton Association fixed this price at the Jack- eon (Miss.) meeting thirty days ago. It was based upon a probable yield at that time of about eleven and one-half mil lion bales. "The consensus of opinion at that meeting was that the crop was three weeks lata. "At this time we find our figures confirmed, nnd the position we then took fortified. "Second. The statistical position of botton was never stronger than now. For the last seven years the world’s consumption of cotton goods has been limited only by the spindle capacity of tho mills. "In the past year there has been In stalled about twelve million new spin dles. The so-called reserve supply now- on hand, and which presence Is being used by the gambling element to de press prices, is cotfon of a low grade, and of almost unsplnnable character. 'Third. Unwarranted reports by soma business men and producers fortifies the position of the bear element, who are attempting at this time to put spots below futures. In order to justify their argument for and In defenso of hedging. "Fourth. Particularly Is a firm sup port of the stand taken by cotton or ganizations of the 8outh In favor of 15 cents urged. In view of extensively pub lished statements all over our country, emanating from the 'bear camp,' at tributing the present slump In prices to anti-future legislation, thereby- depriv ing the market of the bull support, which praetteo, In truth, has not only robbed us of the value of our spots, but of our margins as wall for the past thirty years. Therefore, we beg of you. when possible, to stand with us in maintaining our minimum price. 'First. Because It is worth It. 'Second. The mills are selling and have sold for months ahead their out put at prices based on Id cents or more, and are running day and night to fill orders. "Third. Because at 1( cents and over only, will It givo to «ho South a fair profit upon Us hire and Investment. "Fourth. Because of the Increased cost of every element entering Into Its making. "Fifth. Because It le a reasonable price and recognizee the right of every man to fix the price of his labor as tho cherished privilege of a freeman and the crowning jewel In the diadem of bta civil righta.” (Signed) M.
