TO SEND DELEGATES TO ATLAN A To the Convention to Consider the De- Decrease in the-Cotton Acreage. Plant Mire.. Wheat Strong Letter. • To the Editor of The Tribune:—l am glad our South Carolina cousins are wak ing up to the necessity of some specific action on the pai t of our cotton growers. Three years ago when we organized the movement for cotton reduction and in creased food supplies those of the Carox linas did not then respond, but the move* ment went on and we met in New Orleans and entered into a solemn com pact to reduce the cotton acreage and in- C'ease the grain acreage which was faith fully carried out with the result of raising the price of cotton from 5 cents in Jan mryto over 8 cents in the following October, as all remember. This can be done again with like bene* ficial result, or even more so, for as you suggested a few days ago, it is not too late to sow wheat yet. We will not have any very cold weath r this moon and wheat sown now will grow off and get a good start before January. The movement was not startid before until February, tio late to sow wheat. Bo this time we have that advantage. I would suggest that we have a meeting of planters at the courthouse at 11 o’clock on Saturday, December lltb totakesome action in the matter and if seemed neces sary, send delegates to the inter-state convention to be hill in Atlanta Decem ber the 14th. I will meet as many as . may think the matter of sufficient imp'nt ance. I will say this much to the "otton planters of this section, remember this is your affair and if you haven’t attended to it no one else will. I would suggest that it is not enough to make np your mind to plant less cotton next year on your individual lands. ’ It is also necessary that you let it * be publicly Known and by youraction in meeting seek the co-operation of all others tn the cotton growing states in a like determination. No sham or pretense will answer. The movement mnst be general, must be real to accomplish the desired result. Whether a large or small acreage is planted to cotton next year is known absolutely all over the world within ten days after the planting season is over. So no one will be deceived and no amount of talk will accomplish anything unless backed up by posi tive action. A word of warning. In conversation with a merchant a few days ago, one who also owns several farms, and per haps makes more profit off the sup plies he sells to bis tenants than from the rent of his farms. In this con versation he discouraged the sowing of wheat and the reduction of the cot crop etc. Now you know the rest of the story and where be thinks his in terest lie. I only give you this idea to show that while most merchants will en courage you in the movement under discussion there are a few who only care fortheir own interest and who will discourage you all they can You will however, recall the fable of the wolf and the lamb.

The first Thanksgiving day in Amer ica was appointed not by the pilgrims, as many persons mistakenly believe, but by members of the church of England. It was celebrated at Monhegan, off the Maine coast, near the mouth of the Kennebec river, as far back as 1607—13 years prior to the arrival of the May flower in Plymouth harbor—and Chap lain Seymour preached a sermon “gyv ing God thanks for our happy metynge and saffe aryvail into the country.”— Selected. ‘ ' You Can’t afford to risk your Ijfe by allowing a cold to develop into pneumo nfa pr consumption.

Narrow Escape From Two Bicycles and a Hint to the City Council. Editor of Tribune:—l have read of thrilling adventures and narrow escapes and 1 would like space in your paper to relate one of the latter from my own experience, as it may be the means of causing others to avoid what might prove a dire calamity, as well as a warn ing to be always on the lookout for the dangers which daily stare us in the face on the streets of Rome. While crossing Broad street on last Saturday night en route for home and when near the middle of the street, I discovered a couple of bicyclists bearing down upon me at the rate of about twelve miles per hour. They were with in only a few feet of me when I saw them and to advance or retreat I might be maimed for life or perhaps death. After thus taking in the situation, of course I stopped immediately. They dashed by me, one just in front, the other jnst in rear of me, and they did not seem to be more than two or three feet apart, and while I cannot say that it was intentional on their part, their object seemed to be to see how near they could run to me without hitting me. They gave me no warning what ever of their approach; my escape was miraculous, due solely, as I believe, to a kind and over-ruling Providence. This reminds me that only a few days since, I heard a gentleman say that if he was in reach of a pistol and was not so disabled that he could not use it, be would do so then and there. • Now, Mr. Editor, the only object I sc.

McCord Under Beuna Vista Hotel. 636 Broad St,, - Rome, Ga. have io relating this incident is, to call attention to the fact that there is not a more dangerous vehicle in the city of Rome to pedestrians than the bicycle;— dangerous because of its noiselessness and probably more dangerous still be cause’of its swiftness. Gentlemen of the City Council of Rome, shall we ourselves, our wives and children still be at the mercy of these silent steeds, without compelling them to carry something to warn us of their coming? Other cities have an ordinance of this kind, why n t Rome? It mav prevent their being a patient in one of our homes or at the Emergency hospital, suffering from a broken limb; or near death’s door from internal injuries, or a funeral, or all of these combined.

Coosa, Ga., Nov. 26. —lke McArver bad a little river experience last night. He was over the river bunting and called on a young lady on the return trip. About 10 o’clock at night he undertook to ferry himself across the river. It was pitch dark, but the ferry boat is rigged np with pulleys so that it will run itself across when you turn the pilot wheel so as to give the boat the proper angle. Ikq drove into the boat and started across but soon found he was drifting down the river instead of across and going towards Gadsden instead of Coosa. The wire cable had pulled loose from the windlass on the south bank. fie saw at a glance in the dark that the situation was precarious, so he hauled in the trolly rope and ut* dertook to pull the boat hand over band by the wire cable to the other bank, but the cable bad drifted under a log and be soon got to where he could not move the machine forward He then raised an Indian war whoop and fired all the shells he bad but failed to attract attention. He quietly made him down a bed of the “buggy things,” had his dog to lie across his feet and dwelt with Morpheus the balance of the night. Next morning an old man came down to the lauding, and seeing Ike in mid river, said: “Hallow, what you doin’?" Ike said: “Only getting up. ” Mack.
