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. Rlilne nnd Nlo*elle Wine*.

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.

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.

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. IVEPKM t DTTON REPOIIT.

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 tilat.d by further decline* in money MK> discount rates. In the late dealings an evening up of contracts was effective in wiping out much of the day's losses Pre liminary figures of to-morrow's hank statement indicate a loss in cash by the banks of over $7,009,000. This showing reflecis the exports of gold on Satur day, os well as those of this week. But for the gold exports the banks would have gained almost $3,000,000 on the in terior currency movement, and pension Interest payment of the suh-treasury An Increase in the loan Item of the bank’ Is not considered unlikely In view of the early activity in the stock market. The bond market showed a reactlonai>■ tendency to-day which Is most pronounced In issues known as semi-speculative. To tal sales, par value, $670,000.
