people. President Roosevelt could not
mistake the hearty welcome accord¬
ed him in San Antonio, Texas, Fri¬
day. Enormous crowds of people
greeted him along the route of the
procession from Fort Sam Houston
to Alamo plaza, where an address of
■welcome was delivered and a response
made. The people felt that they had
tiieir guest, not only the president
of the 1 niied States, but a man to¬
ward whom the people of San An¬
tonin feel especially friendly on ac¬
count of the fact that it was in their
< ity 1 hat the regiment was organized
with which iiis naim has become a

The president was delighted with
file reeepiion accorded him. He was
kept busy bowing right and left ac¬
knowledging the outburst or enthu¬
siasm. Ii is seven yeais approximate¬

cheered and the children sang ‘‘Amer¬
ica," while a band played the na¬
tional air.

nal of an outburst of encoring which
lasted until after lie had taken his
sea. on the stand, ami which was
renewed when he arose to respond to

denntin Kirkjini rick. The president’s
spec oh was frequently punctuated by
tfhplause. He made a characteristic ad¬
dress. He was pleased that Ban An¬
tonio agreed with him in his ideas

Isfaction the attention , exans are
paying to education. The laws of tue

thy of striving for was iiis theme,
llis reception throughout Texas had
touched him.
' While 1 thought I was a good
American when 1 came to Texas,"
he said, "1 am going away from Texas
n much belter American."
The route back to the city was along
Roosevelt avenue and past the arse¬
nal grounds. A large crowd in ve¬
hicles of various kinds followed tue
party and the throngs grew more
dense as the cavalcade drew near the
hotel.
The president was given a banquet

ANOEHER “BEAU” SCHEME EXPOSED.
President Jordan tails Attcniion to Bis
semination oi take Literature.
President Ilarvie Jordan, upon his
turn to Georgia from a tour of the
southern states in the interest of the
movement inaugurated by the South¬
ern Cotton Association, has written
an article for the press of the south.
' j 0T CUfrt. C’t.htrt' eik:l S
v 'll 1 a great reduction of acreage
in t y section of the south. Mr. Jor¬
dan is well satisfied with his trip and
the results accomplished.
In this interview lie calls attention
of the press to the fact that all sorts
of “bearish” literature is being dis¬
seminated throughout the country for
the purpose of influencing people in
every section to plant more cotton.
He cites instances of where the buy¬
ing of so much cotton in Texas is a!i
a lake and shows up in decided terms
a well known cotton buyer in the
Lone Star state. Mr. Jordan says:
“Never in the history of the south
has so much ’bearish’ literature been
disseminated throughout, the entire
cotton producing belt as has been
done during the past few months. The
press of the south has unwittingly
published an enormous amount of
these misstatements, sent out in spe
cial dispatches by people who are in
.('rested In depressing the price of
cotton, and have been used as a me¬
dium to create false impressions upon
the minds of the people with reference
to the present movement of the cot¬
ton crop. While the entire press of
the south has given to the Southern
Cotton Association and its objects and
purposes the most loyal support and
co-operation, nevertheless the columns
of their papers have been used to
further the cause of the hear element
through the publication of misstate¬
ments which have been furnished the
press as, apparently, coming from au¬
thoritative sources. The time has
come when the press of the south
should critically scan all statements
furnished them from such sources and
refuse to publish information of that
kind until after a complete Investi¬
gation has been made as to the truth¬
fulness or falsity of the statements
made."

COTTON GROWERS RALLY
Enthusiastic Meetings Held Through¬
out Georgia in Interest of Hold¬
ing Movement.
County meetings of the cotton farm¬
ers of Georgia were very generally
held Tuesday in accordance with the
plan of the Southern Cotton Associa¬
tion, and many of the most prominent
and influential men in the state joined
in commending the purpose of the cot¬
ton association and in urging the farm¬
ers to perfect their organization for
mutual protection.
Governor Terrell spoke at Green
ville in Meriwether county, and was
greeted by a tremendous gathering in
his home county. Senator Clay ad¬
dressed a large crowd of Floyd county
citizens, and President Harvie Jordan,
who has just returned from a three
weeks’ tour of the south in the in¬
terest of the association, addressed
the farmers of Putnam.
An interesting feature of the day
was the report made to the various
meetings, by the secretaries of the
cotton association in the county, stat¬
ing how many signed pledges from
cotton planters had been received. The
result goes to show that the cotton
planters of the state are determined
and wilting to persevere in their or¬
ganization.
Among the leading Georgians who
took part in the various rallies over
the state were:
Hon. T. W. Hardwick spoke in War¬
ren county; Hon. William M. How
ard in Madison; Hon. Thomas M. Bell
in Hall; Hon. A. S. Clay in Floyd;
Hon. J. M. Griggs in Randolph; Horn

COMMISSIONERS ARE OPIIMISTIC.
Heads of State Agricultural Departments
Assured of Reduced Cotton Crop.
The commissioners of agriculture of
the southern states are firm in their
belief that the Southern Cotton As¬
sociation and its work is a sueeess.
At the request of the bureau of the
Southern Cotton Association they have
made a special investigation regarding
the reduction of the cotton acreage
throughout the south, and in their
opinion there will be a great reduc¬
tion of acreage this year.
The commissioners also state that
there will be a greater diversification
of crops this year than ever before
in the history of the south, and they
are looking forward to a very pros¬
perous country next fall.
