fFFORT TO LOWER
e .
IS CHARGED TO FEDERAL RE
SERVE BOARD. WEAVER RE
TURNS FROM CONVENTION.
Hon. J. D. Weaver, who attended
o meeting of the American Cotton
.‘\\‘n'\_i;\ti()n at M.Ontgomery, Ala-o re
turned home Friday, and reports a
very interesting and important ses
sion of that body. Mr. Weaver was
“cm;r-mzm of the price-fixing commit
tee, and 40 cents was agreed upon.
Farmers are urged to hold their
cotton for that price.
Dr. John A. Todd, English econo
mist, addressed the meeting and de
clared the law of supply and demand
must ultimately govern the price of
cotton, but at present this law is in
operative because of abnormal con
ditions in Europe, he said.
European countries are unable to
puy what they need at the prevail
ing rates of exchange, the speaker
- declared, and the situatiord is further
depressed by the shortage of coal,
industrial troubles and general in
stability of governments.
He strongly advised - developing
the better grades of cotton, which
India does not produce, harvesting
and marketing it better in the fu
ture, as some_of the remedies to
pring about better prices.
Spirited attacks were launched on
the federal reserve ‘bank and the
department of justice by W. .C.
Coker, an Alabama merchant, who
declared they were discriminating
acainst the cotton raiser in the in
terest of organized labor. “Labor
demands shorter hours, more pay
and cheaper food,” he said, “and
the departments at Washington seem
determined to see that labor gets it,
reoardless of what happens to the
farmer.”
\r. Coker declared the federal re
<orve hoard had gone entirely out
Do not allow the
poisons of und}geste.d
ood to accumulate in
your bowels, where they
are absorbed into your
system. Indigestion, con
stipation, headache, bad
blood, and numerous
other troubles are bound
to follow. Keep your
system clean, as thous
ands of others do, by
taking an occasional dose
of the old, reliable, ve&a
etable, family liver medi
cine.
Thedford’s
Black-Draught
Mrs. W. F. Pickle, of
Rising Fawn, Ga., writes:
“We have used Thed
ford’s Black-Draught as
a famiflg' medicine. My |
mother®in-law could not |
take calomel as it seemed -
too strong for her, so she
used Black-Drau%ht_asa
mild laxative and liver
regulator . . « We use it
jn_thg‘ famflp and believe
it is {he best medicine for
the liver made.” Tryit.

side _its grovince in attempting to
deflate the price of cotton, while
the prices of.other commodities stay
up.
~ The second outburst of the meet
ing came when Judge Jno. C. Pugh,
of Louisiana, bitterly attacked the
speculative element in the cotton
market afid fired a shot at the cot
ton seed oil men. “The price of
cotton"see% is less than half of what
it was a year ago,” he said. “The
mill men give various reasons for
this, but the thing for you to re
member is that the oil crowd has
made up its mind to steal your cot
ton seed.” e ;
Judge Pugh was preeceded on the
program by former governor Rich
ard L. Manning, of South Carolina,
who delivered an impassioned ap
peal for adherence to the cotton
holding plan of the national asso
ciation,
Being County Attorney He Holds
That He Is Disqualified. Edwards
4 May Succeed Him.
Hon, H. A. Wilkinson, who was
appointed by the county board of tax
equalizers to represent the taxpay
ers of Terrell in the arbitration of
the tax returns of the county which
has been demanded by the state tax
commissioner, Hon. H. J. Fullbright
who insists that values be raised
$2,000,000. It is _probable that
Judge M. C. Edwards will succeed
Mr. Wilkinson on the board of arbi
trators if he will accept. |
Mr: Wilkinson resigned because
he is county attorney, and is there
fore disqualified. Furthermore, he
states that he will probably repre
sent some of the taxpayers in the
event a contest in the court grows
out of the matter, some of whom
have already spoken to his law firm
with a view of retaining them for
any litigation that may occur. |

SEABOARD CONSIDERS DISCON
- TINUING PRESENT ARRANGE.-
MENT WITH CENTRAL.
There is a probability that the ar
rangement whereby the Seaboard.
passenger trains use the Central rail
road’s station, which has proved very
convenient to the traveling public,
will be discontinued.
Learning that the authorities of
the Seaboard were contemplating re
turning to their own station Secre
tary Marlin, of the Chamber of Com
merce, took the matter up with the
general superintendent of this divi
sion, Mr, H. W. Purvis, of Savannah,
who writes that no definite decision
has been reached.
Mr, Purvis states that the cost of
operation under the present arrange
ment is rather-expensive to the Sea
board, but adds that he will be very
glad to consider a continuation of
it if some plan by which it can be
made less expensive can be worked
out,
Mr. Marlin will take the matter
up further with the general super
intendent, and the public will be very
much gratified if it can be arranged
so that all passenger trains will con
tinue to arrive and depart from one
station.

Progress Considerably.
It is expected that the work of

as anxious as is the public to have
