SAYS ASSOCIATION Jordan and Wood Issue No tice to Planters of the South. Hold faat to your cotton and protect the financial condition of the South, 1, the advice of Pre^«t H«g»J«i Jor- dan and Secretary Will H. Wood, of the Southern Cotton Association. Declaring that tba market la arttfl- clally depreaaed. Prealdent Jordan ap peals to the farmers to market slowly and conservatively. The appeal In full Is aa follow*: “The United State*, and especially the South, muet depend upon the pres ent cotton crop to-protect the financial situation and maintain valuae this aea- ,on. Tho variation of one cent a pound In the price of cotton mean* a lots or a gain of sixty millions of dol lars In the currency of the country. The present light for the maintenance of a .high level of price* for spot cot ton must be made on the broad and business-like principle* advocated by the Southern Colton Association, which appeals for the active co-operation and united efforte of all the people, no mat. ter what their business or profession. The cotton grower* all over the South are doing their level beet to hold back the ataple froth an already artificially depreased market. They can not be expected, alngle-handed and alone, to meet and successfully defeat the or ganised brain and capital of the entire civilised world, embraced In the spin ner, buyer and speculator. It 1» the clear duty of every banker, merchant and other professional or business In terest In the South favorable to the maintenance of high prices to line up squarely Mi the elds of the grower* In the present struggle and render auch financial assistance and encourage ment as Will enable the growers to win. Spot cotton '1* too low, and I* be ng artificially depressed by manipulation and misrepresentation. The financial trouble! In Wall atreet are purely local and due almost entirely to overspecu- latlon and the floating of valueless se curities bf some of the banks and trust companies. .. _ „ "Ifthe advice of the Southern Cotton Association Is adopted and the preeent determination of the farmers to mar ket the crop alowly t» adhered to. the financial situation in the South will re main solid and secure. We hereby call upon etery business Interest In the South t> rally to the present holding moverrunt. It !■ the only plan that will wls and force the price of cotton to advance. The price of yarn* and cotton fabrics Is abnormally high and " sand for cotton good* prmctlcal- umlted. The price of spot cotton r existing trade conditions 1* ab- tlly low, and the eupply of the material will undoubtedly be defl- from the present crop, to meet eavy demand of consumption dur- tie next twelve month*. Bold fast, and If any selling Is dona. Ira movement to market be slow. ,sr the plan tho prices advocated he aaeoclatlon will be realised." T. P. A.

CALDWELL. F. M. BERRY, Vice President. Cashier. Ass’t Cashier. “Wall street's power to shake and shatter financial conditions throughout the country has passed. It has and Is being clearly demonstrated In the pres, ent storm there." So stated United States Senator Na- than B. Scott, of West Virginia, at the Kimball Friday evening. As the sturdy bulk of the West Vir ginian stood In the rotunda of the Kim ball chatting with Senator A. 8. Clay, Judge Spencer Alklnson and others, few in the great crowd packed there knew him. Senator and Mrs. Scott stopped over here en route to Wheeling from Mexico, w here they have been so journing several weeks. “Have you business Interests In Mex ico, Senator Scott?" he was asked. “No,” was tho reply. “Mrs. Scott and myself have visited every country on the globs, save India, now'. We had nev er been to Mexico, so we went there fofr some weeks. It Is a wonderful coun try, with tremendous possibilities ahead of It. There are thousands of pro gressive Americans down there who are developing Its resources and milking It a great country. “I had the pleasure of a long Inter view with President Diaz. He la a wonderful old man. Though 77 years of age, he Is still vigorous and wide- aw*ake to the needs of his country. He has an Immigration scheme that I rather think we might profit by emu lating. Lands are laid out and Irrigat ed. The farms vary in size from a few acres to several hundred. Immigrants are then Invited to take possession. The first year they pay nothing, the second GO cents an acre, and so on until a rea sonable price Is paid on the property. This money Is then used for opening up more lands and digging Irrigation ditches. I understand that large sec tions are being developed in this way, and the government Is finding It profit able In many ways.” Reverting to the subject of the Wall street panic, Senator Scott said: “Rumors of the storm came to me down in Mexico, but I did not know very much until I got back In the states. I'll confess that I was a bit dis turbed, because I am interested in a large bank In Wheeling. So 1 wired one of the officials for Information. His reply was that they hardly knew that Wall street was In distress and that Wheeling was not In the least worried." Senator Scott Is chalnnan of the public buildings committee of the sen ate, and Senator Clay Is a member of that committee. Senator Scott said: “I think we should fndfet your man Clay. He took a million dollars from us for buildings In his state. Senator Clay Is an earnest, hard-working man. and I can pay sincere tribute to hts usefulness to his constituency." Senator and Mrs. Scott left Satur day morning for West Virginia. SKATING CARNIVAIi TUESDAY.- IN Dll RANKS TO PROTECT^ COTTON Rep. Burleson Asks U. S. Treasury For Favor Al lowed Wall Street. Washington. Oct. 26.—Representative Burleson, of Texas, yesterday called upon Acting Secretary of the Treasury Edwards and asked that deposits to the amount of 110,000,006, one-third of the amount deposited In New York to check the Wall street panic, be dis tributed among the Southern banks In order to prevent sacrifices of cotton. He was told that however much the department might be disposed to do this. It would not now be possible, as the deposits already made left the treasury with barely a working cash balance. Mr. Burleson was led to make his application at the department by the statement made In press dis patches from Houston,' Texas, that bankers have served notice on owners of cotton In warehouses that they will no longer make advances on the sta ple to be held In storage, the expla nation of this being that the bankers feel that by forcing the aale of cotton In storage they will bring millions of much needed foreign money to this country. Mr. Burleson takes the position that there Is aa much reason to avoid sacrl. flee sales of cotton as there Is to avoid sacrifice sales of stocks. He sees In this withdrawal of bank accommodations to warehouse cotton a proposition to sacrifice the farmer pro ducer of cotton by making him sell un der price. In order to assist the hold ers of stocks In Wall street to protect themselves against the necessity of throwing their stocks on the market at a sacrifice. He called the attention of Secretary Edwards to the provision of the recent law that the secretary of the treasury shall "distribute" the depoelte herein provided for, as fer as practicable, equally between the different states and sections, and also to the policy of the treasury to Interpret the provision for security "by United States bonds or othsrwlse," so a* to permit the acceptance of other than United Btetes bonds as security for deposlte. CIVIC CONGRESS WANTS CHANGES Chicago, Oct, 26.—Delegates to the civic federation conference on trusts closed their work In this city yester day.

FAIRBANKS DIDN’T GIVE INTERVIEW Mlddiesboro, Ky., Oct. 26.—Vice Pres ident Fairbanks, In passing through thlx town, was asked about the story emanating from St. Louis to the effect that he had denied that he would be a candidate for the presidency.
