Sea Island Cotton Growers Fix Twenty-Two Cents a Pound is the Price Fixed for Georgia* and Flor ida!—The Assoc ation Perfected its Organization and County Organize tions are to be Formed. 4*' ■ m ■V" The committee on minimum price of the Sea Island Cotton AsHooiation reported late jeHterday afternoon re commending the following prices: Fancy East Florida 24c Fancy Georgias and Floridas ...22c 1 Georgias and Floridas .. **' 2 Georgias and Floridas 30c 3 Georgias and Floridas 18c The report was unanimously adopt ed and the delegates present pledged thetnselves to hold their unsold cot ton for these prices. The first report made no reference to the minimum price of East Florida cotton, but the price of that was rais ed by the convention ns an amend ment to the committees report. Valdosta was mode the headquar ters of the association and resolutions were adopted making every delegate present a committee of one to see that his county is fully organized. This resolution met with an enthusing tic vote and all of the delegates prom ised to get together and see that the entire sea Island belt is organized Vs?- into a compact, harmonious associa* i * tlon. The report, of the resolution com mittee was read by Col. W. S. West, the -hnirman of that committee. The first resolution was one calling upon the department, of agriculture for full er reports on sea Island cotton and re- 40- ports sepmate from 4 ?those on upland * cotton. ’ The second resolution was In regard io the refusal of the growers of sea Island cotton on the islands of South Carolina to sell their seed to the grow fai-V ere of Georgia and Florida. This res- r olutlon expressed the belief that that action eras done to prevent the ex portation of The need to other coun tries and not to prevent their being ■old to grower* in the neighboring States The resolution Instructed the president of the association to try nnd ascertain why this action was taken on th#> part of the Carolina islnn! growers in order that the Georgia and Florida growers may know how t< act in the matter. ’ The next resolution expressed th desire of the association to help it: members by aiding thorn in securing fresh seed so that their staple be improved. The members were urg ed to work to that «md. The name of the association was made "The 8oa Island Cotton Asso ciation.” The hale tax brought on consider able discussion. The flrat motion was to make It 25 cents a bale, but n jT*'a aubstltute of 10 cents was offered and ^4' another substitute of 5 cents The iN-V bote tax was fixed at 10 cents n bale each tuemlmr to pay to the associa tion tht amount for each bale of cot ton he makes, and not what he has unsold. If he has Raised ten bales of sen islahd cotton this year and has sold nine of them, or even all of them, he Is oxpectcd to pay on each balq. Yhe matter of salaries for the offi cers of the nHsoctatlon next came up, nnd n special committee was ap pointed to fix that. The committee recommended that the expenses of the president nnd vice president be paid when they wore on business for the association; that the secretary be paid $2 per day and expenses when he wnR actively engaged In work and that the expenses of the members of the executive committee be also paid when they were at work for the as sociation. Meetings will be held In each mili tia district on the first Saturday In De cember nnd district organizations ef fected. On the second Saturday In December county organizations will be formed. fho matter of employing an organ izer in Georgia and Florida was dis cussed hut nothing definite was done. President .Iordan stated that later on he would send an organizer from South Carolina into the *oa Island belt to help In the work. It Is probable that Mr. W. VT. Webb, of Hahtra. will be tendered a place aa one of the organ* izers In this state. The question as to the adoption of an official organ came up, but there aeemed to be general opposition to naming any paper aa the organ of the ... Association. It was stated that all * * of the papers had been friendly to the movement and that to designate one f of them aa an organ might not be rel ished by others. THE ATLAS COPPER WORKS.

A REGULAR CIRCU8 Trying to Give a Little Girl Cod Liver Oil. An interest ng incident was told in A E. Dim mock’s drug store the other evening. * « A men came in and bought a bottle of Vinol nnd; while waiting for change en gaged the clerk in conversation. Said he: “We were told to give our little girl co 1 liver oil I bought a b t- tie and took it home. We hnd a regular '•irons trying to get the child to take it. Then it did not agree with her a* all, the oil upset her s omaoh. She did not g t any better, ho I told the doctor how we had failed, and lie at once recom mended vour Vinol, saying that it con tained all of the curative, healing and •drengthening proix-rfies of cod liver oil without a drop of oil, and that children all love its taste. “I took home a bottle and we begAn to give it to onr chi d right aw^v, Slje said it was delicious ard wanted more. Almost fro'i. the first dose we noticed a change, and s‘ e has gained flesh l strength and appetite and sleeps well every night. “I don’t believe any one should give a delicate child <• id-fashioned, nauseat ing cod liv r oil or emulsions when v inol is so delirious tftid it will do so much mor good than any other tonic. It is simply a wonderful medicine for weak, puuv children, and I am recoin- • eliding it to my friends.” “We guarantee Vino, will make weak, pnny children strong, robust and rosy, strengthen and invigorate old people and build up the run down, tired and debilitated as nothing else can.
