To Discus^ Five-C«nt Cotton.
A call has been issued by John O.
Waddell, president of the State Agri¬
cultural Society, to discuss five-cent
cotton.
“I have issued the call,” said Col.
Waddell, “after conference with sev¬
eral prominent members of the society.
We believe that the time has arrived
for organized action among the farm¬
ers to see if sometbing cannot be done
to get rid of 5-cent cotton. Our peo¬
ple cannot stand it, and vre are going
to discuss the matter end see if there
is not a remedy.,
“I want it distinctly understood
that it is not our purpose to est
the holding of cotton to the injnry'bf the
creditors, and this is msde plain in
call. We simply want to see if there
is not some way to secure advances of
cash on cotton, so that ootton can be
held while, at the same time, the busi
ness world will get the benefit of the
money that it represents by having
the same put in circulation.”
The call is as follows:
“Office of President of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society, Atlanta,
Ga,, October 17.—To the Members of
the Executive Committee, Gentlemen:
At the suggestion of, and after a full
conference with some of the promi¬
nent bankers and business men of this
Btate, I am constrained to ask as many
of the members of the executive com¬
mittee'as can do so to meet in the city
of Macon on Wednesday, October
24th, to consider the present ruinous
price of cotton and to take some steps,
if possible, to remedy and avert im¬
pending disaster. suggestion to the plans
“A brief as
indicated: “Money is plentiful and
at low interest in the banks. These
banks and commission merchants, who
are our friends, can be induced to ad¬
vance a reasonable amount on cotton,
and thus allow the farmer to hold his
cotton another year, and, at the same
time, enable him to pay his obliga¬
tions to nearly the full amount of his
cotton. At present prioes it is impos¬
sible to more than pay the cost of cul¬
tivation, picking, ginning and for
guano, leaving the farmer nothing
with which to meet other just obliga¬
tions. If the plans and suggestions
which you may promulgate shall be
adopted by the other cotton states we
believe good results will follow.
“There can be no doubt that the
cotton acreage will, of necessity, be
greatly reduced another year, the crop
reduced in consequence and the cotton
carried over command better prioes.
“We desire to be distinctly under¬
stood as not advising the holding of
cotton to the injury of creditors, nor
would we willingly injure one spoke in
the wheel of commerce. Believing
that the best interests of debtor and
creditor will be subserved if advances
can be secured on cotton, and bold it
over, thus stopping the large daily re¬
ceipts, we respectfully ask you to meet
and consider the subjects suggested Ma¬ at
the time and place indicated, at
con, Ga., fair grounds, Wednesday,

spectfully, O. Waddsm.. President.”a rg.

STRAUSS DECLINES
To Accept Tammany’s Nomination for
Mayor of New York.
A-New York special says: The big¬
gest sensation of a campaign that has
been replete with them was sprung
Friday by Mr. Nathan Strauss, who
briefly, but with emphasis which
meant that coaxing would do no good,
declined Tammany’s nomination for
the mayoralty. possibility of such
Though the an
act had been talked of in political cir¬
cles, bat little credence was given it by
the general public. virtually The aspect accepted of a
man, after having
the moat prominent office in the gift
of the people of New York, declining
that nomination, was so unique that
most people heard the rumors and
simply laughed at them. Friday morn¬
ing, however, the prophets did the laugh¬
ing. At about 10:30 o’clock Mr. Strauss
sent his letter of declination to the
Tammany executive committee. All
day the big eight wrestled with the
problem of sucoessorship, and wrestled
with Hugh Grant, for the members of
the committee were of one mind in
their desire to have the ex-aheriff and
ex-mayor become the organization’s
candidate.

Grant wasn’t a hit anxious to hive an
honor which, under the circumstances,
is a dubious honor st best, but after
much persuasion he submitted the
terms and conditions under which he
wjuld accept the nomination, and
these wore promptly acceded to by the
authorized representatives of the great
organization.

Short and Crisp Monels of General
Interest to Our Readers.
Fire at Fond dn Lac, Wis., Sunday
night, entirely destroyed the B. Wild
factory of the American Biscuit and
Manufacturing Company. The factory
was one of the best owned by the syn¬
dicate. The loss is $100,000, with
$60,000 insurance.
A dispatch from Ogdensburg, N. Y.,
says: Petitions for the nomination of
General N. M. Curtis, for representa¬
tive in congress, are being circulated
in all of the accessible towns of the

publicans and democrats indiscrimi¬
nately.'
A fire which ‘started early Sunday
morning in a warehouse of the Ameri¬
can Paper Company at Detroit, de¬
stroyed in all about $50,000 worth of
property. The five-story structure oc¬
cupied by the paper establishment was
destroyed and two small buildings ad¬
joining on the other side was complete¬
ly demolished by the falling walls.
Contrary to expectations of manu¬
facturers, and much to the surprise of
the public in general, the striking
weavers at Fall Biver continue to
manifest a decided 'opposition to re¬
suming work under the terms offered
some weeks ago. Though there are
hardly 80,000 out of 56,000 looms in
operation the idleness seems to run in
streaks.
A dispatch from Abilene, Kan., says:
The end of the great topolobampo col¬
ony is complete. The final scene was
the suspension of its paper, The Inter
groil Co-Operator. The paper was
published by the colony’s president,

John D. Kremien, recently adjudged
guilty of murder in the second degree
for poisoning John Forres, alias Her¬
man Hanburoh, formerly of Philadel
apbia, has been sentenced to ten years’
imprisonment in the state penitentiary.
Kremien, who was Forres’ physician,
was arrested when he presented the
forged will to the orphans’ court, pur¬
porting to give him Forres’ estate val
ued*at $6,500.
At Barcelona, Spain, ten dynamite
bombs were found near the engine of
a large manufactory, where a number
of anarchists were formerly employed.
Fuses were attached. Among the an¬
archists, who were at one time em¬
ployed at these works, were two men
who were executed some time ago in
of the fortress of Montguicb.
An investigation showed that the
bombs were powerful enough to have
caused great destruction.
The Kansas City and Memphis ex¬
press, which left Wagoner, L T., Sat¬
urday night, was wrecked and robbed
by the Cook gang,„of desperadoes south at
