Lust night the directors of the

mously elected Mr Hunt to this

Than Mr Hunt, few farmers are

county at the stats fairs.
His position will carry with it
the duties of general manager,

all the agricultural displays and

preparing for a magnificent col¬
lection of dis plays and will also
assist in the selection ot tho bal¬

Uil exhibits promised him. The

The following was forwarded us
by Hon John T Williams, Presi-
Jones County Cotton Association,
with a request that we publish
Hon M I, Johnson,
Pres. Ga. State Division,
So. Cotton Association,
Dear Sir:—Enclosed 1 beg to
hand you a copy of tha minutes
of (lie last regular meeting of the
Cotton Growers’ of Thomas com.-
You will note that the farmers
of this county have appealed
the towns of t lie count)’ to raise
about $750 00, this fund to be
Used by u committee of three for
the purpose of taking the census
of the facts connected with the
growing of cotton in this county;
this committee of three will hire
men to get the following informa¬
tion from every single man in this
county who raised a pound of cot-
ton Inst year or who is going to
raise any this year. H w many
plows run last year; how many
going to run thisyear; how many
acres of cotton planted last year;
how many going to plant this
year; how much fertilizer used
under cotton last year, how much
going to be used under cotton this
year; how many bales cotton
made Just year, how many hales
on hand now? With this infer
mation we can tell how many
acres per plow was planted lust
and how many will he planted
this year, and exactly how much
the average decrease and the use
of fertilizers, and also, we can
compare the number cf bales
made last year with the numbor
that has been ginned in the coun¬
ty which will be a check of one
against the oilier.
At our last meeting we asked
ihe county commissioners for a
donation for this purpose to which
they responded with $100,00, and
I feel sure that the towns will
raise the amount they have been
asked to subscribe, which, if they
do, will give us ample funds to
obtain this information very ac-
eurately.
Now, if the whole south could
adopt thi3 plan, by the first of
May tho south would know just
exactly how many acres would
be planted in “cotton this year,
and this information would be
just as positive as the informa¬
tion given out bv the government
as to the ginner’s report, and if
tho acreage and fertilizers had
been cut down 25 per cent or
more the market would respond
immediately, which would mean
not less than $60,000,000 more
for the cotton wo now have on
hand, than we would get for it at
present prices.
We felt that it was our duty to
go ahead and accomplish the ami
of the New Orleans convention in
this county, using the best meth¬
ods we have adopted could not be
improved on if we can raise the
money, which I think will be
raised without any trouble, for
I think the merchants, bankers,
lawyers and other citizens of Ihe
towns will be glad to contribute
to^this fund, for it is something
that concerns every person of the
of the south and the prosperity
farmer means the prosperity of
all other lines of business, and
too, the towns will to glad to
give this as an advertisement and
to show the interest felt iu the
farmer.
If there is anything that I can
do to help carry out the aims of
the Southern Cotton Association,
or if I can assist you in any way
as to working in this county, com¬
mand m«.
Trusting that this great move¬
ment will be successful and that
in the future we can all stand so][-
id when it means so much to the
South, I beg to remain,
Very tr ily yours;
It II New,,
The Japanese already have 44,
000 prisoners ‘cooped up” in
Japan, and if they capture n hun¬
dred thousand around Mukden
they will have their hands full m
providing quarters and fend for
them.The Russians appear to
have taken very few Japanese prir-
oners and hence no exchange on a
targe scale is possible. If the
Japanese compel the Russian
government to pay the board for
ill these prisoners when Ihe filial
-ettlement comes, it, will make n
'urge item in the indemnity which
vill be due from Russia to Japan,
says the Rome Herald.
Soon the ice cream open work,
