Proclamation by the President of the
Georgia Cotton Grower* Protective
V mnoclh t ion.
In view of the fact that the cotton
season will soon be upon us, and many
counties in the state not having yet per
fected sub-branches of the Btate Asso
ciation by reason of my utter inability
to make a complete personal canvass of
the state, and properly attend to other
important duties devolving u|x>n my offi
cial position, I have deemed it best to
issue this general call for a meeting to
be held in all the counties at their re
spective county sites on the first Tuesday
in September for the purpo-se of perfect
ing sub-organization without further de
lay. To that end, I hereby call upon the
farmers, bankers, merchants, ginners,
warehousemen, and other trades and pro
fessions in those counties not yet organ
ized. to meet at their respective county
sears on the first Tuesday in September
next. 10 o’clock a. m., at which lime
the election of county officers can be had.
and the names of members joining the
association enrolled The main object
and purposes of the Cotton Growers’ Pro
tective Association are generally .known
to our people. -Through Us wide and gen
eral discussion throughout the country
during the past three months. I will,
however, furnish to every county litera
ture fully explaining the movement, and
what we seek to accomplish by organiza
tion. If the cotton growers of the coun
try will combine In a determined effort
to control prices this season, we can eas
ily secure 10 cents per pound for our
staple. If past methods are employed in
the sale of the crop, prices will drop to 7
and may go lower. The association will
throw around all members every protec
tion possible in the sale of his crop. Un
der existing conditions, there can be no
question of controlling prices this sea
son by united concert of action in mar
keting the crop with an Intelligent idea
of the true situation. There is now a de
termined effort on the part of the specu
lators and spinners to depress prices at
the opening of the season to 7 cents per
pound. The world is short of raw cot
ton, and there is none in sight except
that which is gnvwing in the fields. The
present crop will not yield more than ten
million bales, ,whlch w ill not be sufficient
to supply the demand for American cot
ton during the next tweiv.e months. Let
us combine and hold back ft portion of
the crop, marketing slowly, and we can
command 10 cents per pound for our
staple. All of ihe cotton states are ac
tively agitating this movement, ajid many
of them will be fully organized by the
middle of September. We have the op
portunity presented, and 1 call upon our
people to < ome actively together on the
day fixed as above indicated and determ
ine to secure a fair profit on the products
of their labor. The Georgia State Agri
cultural Society in convention at Dublin
on tin 9th inst. unanimously indorsed
this call for organization to secure high
er prices for our cotton, and pledged
• heir individual and collective support In
behalf of the movement on Sept. 44h. The
bankers of the state have guaranteed
their willingness and ability to advance
three-fourths the value of all cotton held
in storage. Alabama has organized
South Carolina will organize on the 6th
of September. All the other cotton states
are agitating the movement, and we can
whip rhe fight this season, saving to the
farmers of Georgia alone more than fif
teen million dollars, which they will lose
if the crop is s forced on the market and
sacrificed at 7 cents per pound.

Storle* Regarding; Hi* Relation* to
Hi* Doctor, \\ fe, and Other*.
From the London News.
In Rome, as elsewhere in Italy, the
King went about with very little cere
mony. Hundreds of English visitors
must often have seen him taking his drive
on the Pincian in a victoria and pair of
horses. To every such visitor who took
up his hat or made her bow r the King re
turned the salutation with warm courtesy.
A pretty story is told in one of Mr. Rus
kin’s nooks (“Christ’s Folk in the Apen
nines’’) of King Humbert’s pleasant ac
cessibility:
A contadino had come down to Luoea
from somewhere in the mountains, with
a petition which he wished to present to
the King, but when he saw him, with his
seguito, he did not know who he was.
(Probably the poor man’s only idea of a
King was gathered from some picture of
the adoration of the Wise Men.) So he
looked at all of them, and rather thought
the King was not there, but perhaps one
of those gentlemen would convey the pa
per to him. And. being taken with the
King’s pleasant face, he went to him, in
to any of the others, and put
the paper into his hands, saying: “I will
leave It with you. sir; I rather think I
have given It into good hands.” At
which the King smiled and said, “Yes,
you have.”
Of two stories illustrating King Hum
bert’s humor and his common sense, one
is told at the expense of his Queen-Con
sort. The one at the expense of his
physician is as follows:
Sometimes the King from his hunting
ledge at Castle Fusano went to the aea,
and amused himself by shoveling sand into
a cart. “Take cpre, Your Majesty,” said
Baglione one day. “not to perspire too
much.” “Ah! my dear Signor doctor,” an
swered the King, resting his chin on his
two hands that grasped the handle of his
spade, “this muscular exercise does rne
much more good than your prescriptions.
“Yes, but one must abuse nothing.’’ “But
I tell you that I feel very well, and you
are afraid you see in this poor shovel a
competitor.” And laughing heartily the
King Unshed filling his cart.
However, by exposing himself in every
way without exercising any care, the
King contracted bronchitis, which took a
chronic form, and gave him a rather
troublesome cough. The cough was a
source of anxiety to the faithful do'tor.
as he could not convince hl> patient of
rhe necessity of taking medicine. Occas
ionally the doctor was even sent away ab
ruptly by the King, who would say: ”1
have not called you. Why did you come?
You may go. I thank you very much.”
One evening, however, the deceased doc
tor thought he had gained his point, and
he prepared for the King in his bedroom
the powders which he was to take during
the night. The next morning Dr. Sagli
one rose very early, being anxious to
know’ the effect of his medicine. He was
received in the bedroom, and at once ask
ed. “Well, how does your Majesty feel thl
morning?”
“Much better—l may say. quite well,”
was the response.
“Ah!” observed the doctor, rubbing his
honds with sorisfaction, "you see the re
sult of listening to reason.”
“WJiat do you mean?” asked the King.
“The powdersP* ~
“Bravo!” shouted Humbert. “Oc into
the next room and see w’hat you can find.”
The powders were in the waste paper
basket.
The story at the expense of the Queen
is this:
The Queen was anxious that her hus
band should follow' the example of her
father and the fashion among elderly
Biedmontees officers end dye his hair. Her
pleadings were in vain. Umberto’s is an
honest nature that does not like these
subterfuges. Seeing entreaty was in vain,
the Queen had recourse to stratagem. She
caused a quantity of fine hair dye to be
sent from Paris nnd put in the King’s
dressing room, together with directions for
itw use, making, however, no allusion to
the subject. The King, too, said nothing,
though he could not fall to et*e the pig
men's. Now the Queen had a large white
poodle of which she is very fond. What
was her horror a few days later to see
her pet come running into her room with
his snowy locks nil turned to a jet black.
King Umberto had expended the dyes
upon changing the color of the poodle’s
hair! From that day forth the subject of
hair dye was dropped between the royal
couple.

REVIEW OF THE MARKETS.
CONDITION OF GENERAL TRADE
DURING THE PAST WEEK.
Not a Great Deal of Activity Re
ported In Any Line*—Quotation*
Posted for New Cotton Spirit*
Turpentine Steady at Bt>>/2 Cent*,
and Bonin* Qniet and Unchanged.
Continued Liberal Receipt* of
Naval Store* Local nnd Tele
jgrapliie Market*.
Morning News Office, Aug. 17.
There was not a great deal of activity
in the local markets during the past week,
though business on the whole was satis
factory. Owing to the near approach
of the new cotton season a great deal
has not been done in this* market. The
trade are looking forward to the handling
of the new crop, and posted to-day for
the first time quotations for new-crop
cotton. In the naval stores market fac
tors continued to make free deliveries of
turpentine. The tone at the closing to
day was steady, with a limited demand
reported. Rosin closed quiet at the de
clines reported during the week.
Reports from the naval stores belt are
to the effect that work on farms is pro
gressing well, which makes it appear very
much like the present large receipts are
to grow larger. It is the receipts which
are having considerable effect on the mar
ket just now, and if they continue to in
crease, the chances are that prices will
continue to yield. Considerable exporting
is reported from Gulf ports, which is hav
ing its effect on the market. The gen
eral opinion seems to be that unless the
volume of receipts is checked the market
will reflect the effects of abundant offer
ings.
Business is rather quiet ir> the whole
sale branches, though jobbers are not com
plaining, as these lines generally have a
rush shortly after the opening of the new
cotton season. The following resume of
the different markets will show their con
dition during the week, and at the closing
to-day: u, •***

COTTON FI TI RES.
The Market Quiet nnd Steady With
Price* 1 Higher to 7 Lower.
Now York. Aug. 17.—The cotton market
opened quiet and steady, with prices un
changed to 1 point lower, but developed
a steady undertone before the close of
the first hour and scored an advance of
4tt/6 points on recovering; and light invest
ment buying, based on encouraging late
English cables, light export receipts and
claims that the crop in some sections was
being damaged by adverse climatic condi
tions. But on "the up-turn investment
speculation from the public failed to make
its appearance, and as room bulls were
naturally timid, prices subsequently
crumbled to last night’s prices, with the
market much of the time in an almost
lifeless stale. Early in the afternoon a
weak spot was reached under gradually
increased liquidation and a more aggres
sive attitude of room bears, who were en
couraged by late excellent crop and
weather advices from the eastern belt and
fairly reassuring information from the
central and western district. On the
down-turn the wire houses figured promi
nently as sellers of the winter months,
while the South sold the near months,
presumably liquidation of New' Orleans
holders. The local spot market w r ent off
4c, and Southern markets also showed
an easier under-current, all of w’frieh in
creased the pessimistic feeling in the pit.
Predictions for a rapidly increasing move
ment added to the dismay of smaller
longs and prompted light selling for short
account.
At the close the market was quiet and
steady, with prices 1 point higher to 7
points lower.

COTTON LETTERS.
New York, Aug. 17.—Murphy & Cos. .say:
Cotton in Liverpool reacted l-6td between
2 p. m and the close. Eno ing only l-64d
below yesterday’s close. This market
opened a shade lower but Improved on
local and New Orleans buying and indis
position 10 make 1 ear sales. Liverpool
s ld. Outside orders are moderate. Caro
lina* and Memphis districts still nevd rain
badly. The situation continues to in
ertas’ In strength, the receipts are in
significant compand wi h a year ago, and
it is freely predicted that New Orleans
bulls can easy take care of all cotton that
may come in during ihe month.
New' York, Aug. 17. Hubbard. Bros. &
Cos. say: European advices are rather
more favorable than anticipated and with
the light receipts have advanced prices
over last ev niug. Show'crs appear to have
fallen over North Carolina and the
northern rortion of Georgia. To-day tele
grams are at hand reporting in Columbia,
S. C., rain, while the government predict*
local ruin- in all of the coast states. The
market remit ns a very small one with
little outside interest shown in the cur
rent of fluctuations From Texas very
good crop reports are b ing received, but
the movement has been so delayed by the
recent rains that the receipts are small,
creating a m< st cautious feeling. A weak
er market during the af.emoou was due
o the showers reported iti the Atlantic,
and the absence of any speculative de
mand.

for turpentine closed steady at cents
to-day, with the demand light, and the
situation anything but encouraging to the

gradually. The comparatively large stock,

the condition of things. The receipts for

year. The exports went to New York
320. and to the interior 489. The receipts

the declines, which have been reported
during the week. There was no change
in prices to-day. The demand Is fair,
but not what factors would like to have
it. The week's receipts were 24.853,
against 25,309 last year, nnd the exports,
15,065, against 16,616 last year. The ex
ports went to New York 2,000, to Philadel

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Rescue of Foreign Ministers Had An
Effect on Speculation.
New York. Aug. 17.—1f any expecta
tion had been entertained tho't the rescue
of the foreign ministers in China would
arouse speculative enthusiasm. Wall
street's reception of the news was disap
pointing. In fact the speculation was
more sluggish than at any time this
week, and the tendency until the la-u
hour reactionary. This proved that the
event had been fully discounted.
There was a conflict at the opening to
determine the market's tendency, in which
the bears soon obtained the upper hand.
In consequence there was a general sag
ging of prices, but in no cose did the
fall reach o point in the railroad list.
The most effective selling was in the steel
stocks, the group being affected by reports
of trade conflicts and expected cuts In
prodiicts. The important movements of
the day centered in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Consolidated Gob. Both
stocks after momentary weakness started
upwards and ended with good gains. An
official announcement that the annual re
port would be given out late to-day, '•
tached interest to the movement in the
stock.
No definite news accounted for the
weakntes in the railroad list, but the opin
ion prevailed that profit taking was pri
marily responsible. Ixutdon’s purchase’
of St. Paul failed to sustain the sto:k
despite an Increase in the earnings for the
second week of August, of $90,324. For
eign purchase were about 12.000 share? In
all, the inquiry from* London being ?:im
