To Holders of Spot Cotton to Hold on to it Instead of Placing it on the Market. Atlanta, Ga., Feb.^24.—Harvie Jor dan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, gave out the following statement: # “About the middle pf last Novem ber the Southern Cotton Association advised all spot holders to demand 16 cents per pound, basis middling, for the balance Of the unsold portion of the present crop, and pledges were asked for ninety days. The mammoth cotton convention held at New Or leans, La., January 11 to 13, 1906, passed a resolution unanimously in dorsing the holding movement for 16 cents and advocated the continued holding of the unsold portion of the crop for that price independent of the ninety-day pledging. The executive committee of th£ association subse quently* indorsed the action of the convention, and all spot holders were earnestly asked to stand firm until a maximum price of 16 cents was of fered. Remember, one year ago cot ton sold at 7 xents per pound in Feb ruary and advanced to over 10 cents early in July In the face of a 14,000,-' 000-bale crop. This year the crop Is 3,600,000 bales lesB. Consumption is. far greater this year than last, and the prices of gjl lines of cotton goods ab normally high. If the small balance of the cotton now held is sold for 16 cents, the whole crop will not average over 11% cents per pound. Receipts will soon drop off heavily and a stronger market will be had. , “Do not rush your cotton on the market, but hold it and win out in the great struggle that is on between the spot holders on the one side and speculators, spinners and buyers on the other.

A dispatch published in yesterday’s Herald told of the. mysterious dibap- pearance of Mr. Arthur Hall, a brother ofMr. Harry N. Hall, of this city, at Milledgevllle. The first report stated that thd missing .man’s hat was found in a pond near the sanitarium at whleh ho was staying, and tbat an over turned boat also Indicated that he might have been drowned, but that a thorough search of the pond had failed to reveal the body. It now appears, however, that Arthur Hall was drowned, as explained in the follow ing dispatch to the Atlanta Constitu tion: Milledgevllle, Ga., Feb. 23. — The body of Arthur B. Hall was found this morning in the pond where It was thought last night It.could not possibly be on account of the thorough search that had been made for It. pr. Allen offered a reward of $26 to anyone who recovered the body from the pond. This morning one of the searchers hung some object with his hooks. It was so heavy that the party with him said: "That is only a log; -I hung it several tlutes;’’ but as it yielded a little they worked cau- tionsly and brought up the body. The cfothes were torn in many places, showing that the hooks had caught them, but the garments gave .way before the body yielded to the pull. A dynamite cartridge had been exploded within six feet of where the body lay. It is now thought that the drowning was accidental and that the deceased fell overboard while poling himself around the pond, turning the boat over* when he fell out. .His brothers'stated he had never learned to swim. The body was taken to his old home at Car- tersville, Ga., for burial. Special tp The Herald. ; Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 24.—Accused of beating and mistreating his wife, J. W.
