GROWERS WILD WIN. Iordan fiends Out Cheering Inter" view on Cotton Situation. New Orleans, Dec. 2.—“Everything Is moving along with ontlro satisfac tion and It looks ns If we wero going to win In our offorts to tie up tho most of the balance of the erop," thus writes Prosldont Harvlo Jordan jt the Southern Cotton Association to a leading leans, after soiAo ton days of actlvo campaigning for the purpose of ty ing up threo ralllon bales of cotton and inducing the growers to hold for 15 cents. Tho upward tendoncy of the staplo since then, augmented by tho glnners* report and tho fact that a poworful speculative clement, act ing Independently. Is conducive tc the bolief that tho Southern Cotton Association will accomplish Its aim. Mr. Jordan has mado It perfectly and forcefully clear however, that the speculative side has nothing what ever to do with tho movement, furth er than natural coincidence and the president of tho Southern Cotton Association declares that neither he or the association will have any- .lng to do with tho speculators. Mr. Jordan states that tho assocla- will immediately send out blank ye8 to all who write for thorn to *ta headquarters. D WEATHER. > Go Ashore In Storm on the Great Lakes.

That the town of Coolidge is grow- ing very rapidly Is a fact that no ons will dispute. Only a very fsw years ago the place that Is now Coolldgs was comparatively a forsst. The latest imrovement to the town and to tho community as well is ths bank which is now fully organized. The stockholders met on the 22d Inst and elected the following officers*. For president. Dr. W. H. Crow; for vice president, W. A. J. Parrsmore; for cashier, P. G. Mallory. Mr. W. 8. Wltham, the well known banker is financial Agent for the bank. This gives the bank a financial backing equal to that of any of the large city banks. At the above stated meeting tho late feature in banking—depos itors insurance—was fulyl discussed and the stockholders unanimously accepted this feature. The bank carries lire Insurance, burglar insur ance, fidelity insurance and the de positors Insurance. The building which Is on the corner of Pine street and Japonlca avenue will soon bo complete and the bank will them open for business. The citizens of the tows and ce: munity are now talking very seri ously of building a brick warehouse. This of course will not be done until later. One can safely predict, how ever that the town will have a good warehouse by next fall. This will bo a great help to the town and espe cially to the farmer who wishes te hold his cotton or sirup. We understand that Messrs. If. J. White and J. I>. Baldy of the firm of White & Baldy contemplate putting up a largo jbrlck building In which they will carry a full line.of general merchandise and furniture. Messrs. White & Baldy are good folks and we are glad to see their progress. Wo feel safe in saying that the town will soon be furnlsred with ar tesian water. School will open on the first Mon day In January under the able man agement of Prof. Reese. We have good building And a good teaeher therefore we are going to have a good school. The pospects for Coolidge are that within a very few years we will have ono of tho most prosperous towns la the State. Mr. W. E. Parker has sold hli "lock of groceries to Mr. L. D. Carl ton. Mr. Carlton (s well kaewn here and his many friends wish him success. * The Taking Cold Habit The old cold goes; a new one quickly comes.

Of the native white population only 46 out of every lr 000; of the foreign born whites 128 out of every 1,000 and of tho negroes 445 out-of every 1,000 nre Illiterate. The statistical evidence la that' 1 Illit eracy Is steadily being reduced; In 1890 the number of Illiterates per 1,000 was 133 for the total popula tion 63 for the native white popula tion, 130 for the foreign born white and 668 for negroes, Indians and Mongolians. Illiteracy la in general greater In the South than In the. North for alt classes of the population.
