Plans to Underwrite 500,000
Bales at 13 Cens—President
Goes to New York.
A syi dicafp has been formed in
New York headeil by E R Thom¬
as, and hacked by a large amount
of capita' If underwrite 500,000
bales o o- tt n at 18 cents, ace id
jng i<> information given out yes¬
terday by President Harvie Jordan
of the Sour hem Cotton Association
President Jordan left for New
York Wednesday to colder with
those Interested in this syndicate,
and stated that the full details
would l>e made public within the
next dav or so. This proposition,
he says, will, in no wise, interf* iv
with th- m iv-ment to h >ld for 15
cents.
President Jordan guve out the
following st dement Thursday re¬
garding this syddicate movement:
*‘i have been definitely assured
that an underwriting syndicate
headed by E R. Thomas and back¬
ed by the stiangest financial syndi¬
cates in New York will underwrite
500,000 bains ol cotton ai 18 cents
This proposition will not interfere
with those spot holders who desire
to nold tor 15 cents. I will leave
for New York today, and Ihe de¬
tails of the syndicate will be fur¬
nished for publication.
“But little spot cotton is cfTer
ing east of the Mississippi river.
Heavy receipts in Texas cau not
continue much longer, as supplies
there are practically exhausted.
With the organization of a power¬
ful syndicate to protect the spot
situation against the present un¬
warranted bear raid, practically
every bait of cotton remaining u li¬
sold can be tied up. Supplies will
run short from now on as compar¬
ed with ono year ago, and there
will be no necessity for marketing
any ot the uew crop before next
October.”

that would do credit to one who
had studied music all their lives.

NEWTON DAIRY FARMING
SHOWS INCREASED PROFIT.
Produced Nearly 600,000 Gal
Ions of Milk and 150,000
Pound* Butter in 1905.
According to a report on “Rec¬
ords of Dairy Cows in tlie United
States,” recently issued by the de
partment of agriculture, there is
no business that brings greater
profit from the amount invested
than that of dairying.
Where intelligent methods are
adopted it is shown that for every
dollar invested in feed for cows
from two to three dollars is real¬
ized from the milk and butter
products.
There isn’t any doubt that dairy
farming on a large or small scale
is profitable and every year finds a
greater number of people directing
their attention to the business.
The Enterprise is glad to note
the impetus that has been given
this most important industry here
in Newton county in the last two
or three years. It is approximate¬
ly estimated that this county pro¬
duced last year 600,000 gallons of
milk and 150,000 pounds of butter,
which at the prevailing juices rep
resent in value more than $100,000.
Mr. W. P. Odum is perhaps the
largest dairy farmer in this section
of the state and for the past sever
al years he has paid considerable
attention to the improvement of
his dairy cattle, which he finds is
resulting in increased profits from
his farm. Mr. Odum’s farm lies
between Covington and Oxford and
he supplies Covington, Oxford,
Porterdale and the Covington Mills,
the combined population of which
is >u the neighborhood oi 6,000,
with the products of his dairy.
has at present 82 high-grade Jer
; soy cows, from which the annual
returns are about as follows: But
f el ‘> <,860 lbs., value $1,840; milk
21,900 gallons, value $2,628.
