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.

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.
