the dregs of the human cesspool which
furnishes negro criminals and degener

with their fighting spirt, all gone, for
It had been hours since they had
“sniffed;" others waking from the nau
seous pains of the drug, who begged
piteously. for Just one more pinch of
“roke" to straighten them nut. The
desk sergeant's table was piled high
with little papers of cocaine, with half
emptied bottles of "white lightning"
and an occasional cheap revolver, dear
est pride of a tough negro’s heart.

lanford "These tramps must go to

COTTON ETOIS
HERE TD CONFER
Plan for Holding Staple To Be
Discussed at Sessions at the
State Capitol.
Repre?.entatives *’f the governors of
several cotton-grow Ing states arrived in
Atlanta today to attend the conference
on the **>tton situation and discuss a
plan for holding th* staple. The first
-cssion was held at the capited this aft
ernoon at 3 n’< lock. h had been ex
pected that Governor Mann of Vif
ginta. and several other executives
| would attend in person, in response to
ihe invitation of Governor Brow n, but
I non- had shown up this morning
The holding plan is that promoted
by Gemge Dole Wadley, of Macon, head
of the Southern cotton corporation. One
of its principal features is a guaranteed
price for cotton, this to be assured by
a financing system which would enable
the organization to control the supply
until the price reached the figure de
sired.
At a meeting of members of the
Farmers union, held at the Kimball
house last night, Professor J. H. High-'
tower, president of the Mississippi Ag
ricultural and Mechanical college and
head of the Mississippi Warehouse
Company, delivered an address explain
ing and urging his holding system,
w hich has been Indorsed by the National
Farmers union. In response to a ques
tion from the audience, Mr. Hightower
stated that he did not believe a guar
anteed price for cotton could be feasi
ble unless the guarantee could cont ml
al least a fifth of the crop. The Farm
ers union, as an organization, is making
no fight on the Wadley plan, but has
indorsed It.
