Tt was a motley array of prisoners, the dregs of the human cesspool which furnishes negro criminals and degener ates. There were emaciated negroes, Wild-eyed with the workings of the "snow" they had sniffed; sleepy men. 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. ‘Tm going to break up this bunch of loafers and coke sniffers If 1 have to make a raid every night," said Chief lanford "These tramps must go to work or get out of town and stay out.” The 53 prisoners will 'he arraigned before Recorder Broyles this afternoon.

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. BRUNSWICK CITY COUNCIL SEEKS CHARTER CHANGES BRUNSWICK.
