PRICE: SOUTHERN PLANTERS TO ASK POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT FOR A FRAUD ORDER AGAINST NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE Congressman Living ston Receives Letters of Complaint. hay THAT “ROTTEN” BALES ARE GIVEN Want Matter Rectified at Once by Government Regulation in Some Way. Washington/ Dec. 28.—Representa tives of the cotton growing Interests of the South are preparing data on which to base a request that the post- office department Issue a fraud order aswlnst the New York cotton exchange. They are certain that the information they will file will make the Issuance of such an order Imperative. The mat ter was tentatively presented to the department late yesterday afternoon. The grounds on which the postal au thorities will be asked to deny the big New York concern the use of the mails Is that it conducts a business which is not legitimate. Southerners Making Fight. The Southerners are not making a light on the business of dealing in fu tures, per se, as they assert that the New Orleans cotton exchange handle* Its affairs In a way which Is entirely legitimate, and which is altogether different from the methods of the N*mv York exchange. If the postoffice de partment pursues the course that i- usual in such matters, the promoters of the movement say that an order for bidding the metropolitan concern from using the malls for the transmission of contracts certainly will bo forth coming. The principal complaint against the New York exchange is that the cotton delivered on contracts sold on Its floor Is not of the middling grade, or Its equivalent, but a "rotten*’ commodity which cannot be spun, which Is only lit for making horse collars, mat tresses. etc., and on which the, buyer. If he does not dispose of his contract before notice day, must In some cases lose more than $10 per bale, regardless of price fluctuations. In New Orleuns, It Is asserted, cotton delivered on con tracts purchased In the usual course of future trading is always the grade called for In the contracts. Diserepanoy in Prices, Persons who are interested In the matter point to trie wide discrepancy between the price of cotton In New Orleans and New York In support of theJr contention that the New York exchange does not do business on a straightforward, above-board basis. This difference now is not far from a cent a pound, while the difference be tween January and March on the New York exchange Is from 30 to 31 points, or nearly a third of a cent a pound. Today Is notice day, and recent dis patches from New York are to the ef fect that many Arms are willing to re ceive cotton on contracts, If tender ed. inasmuch as the difference Is con siderably in excess of carrying charges, and that a profit would, therefore, re sult from such action. Southerners who are In touch with the movement against the New York exchange as- that nothing of the sort is pos sible. since any cotton delivered would be of the "rotten” variety already al luded to, and that anybody receiving it would certainly lose, despite the dif ference In prices on January and March contracts. There are only a very few bales of middling cotton In New York, and It Is the sume In other quarters. Livingston Gets Letters. Representative Livingston, of Geor gia, who keeps closely In touch with all matters affecting cotton, when seen, disclaimed positive knowledge of the movement to bring about the issuance of a fraud order. He told, however, of having received a letter from a well posted Southerner 'vho asserted that cotton growers in the Southern states lost $31,000,000 the past year as a result of the practices of the New York exchange. Mr. Livingston turned this letter over to the secretary of agriculture, who replied through the chief of one of his bureaus, that the department could do nothing in the premises. The Georgia congressman says that efforts to secure the* enactment of **eg- ulatory legislation has failed and that, in his opinion, the only way to get at the root of the trouble Is through the Issuance of a fraud ,order. Farmer* Are Interested The understanding In Washington Is that the Co-operative Farmers’ Union •* taking a lively Interest In the mat ter, and some who are In touch with the situation here think that that or ganization will submit the request tor * fraud order to Postmaster General Corteiyou. President Barrett, of the Union, has headquarters In Barncsvllle, Ga. It Is thought to bo probable that the South ern Cotton Growers’ Association, of ' v hlch Harvle Jordan, of Atlanta, h* president, will also take an active part in ihe matter. Mr. Jordan’s organlza- thn is the one which waged war on. th- bureau of statistics of the depart- of agriculture and succeeded in PRESIDENT CHAS. BARRETT ADMITS UNION WILL FIGHT President Charles 8. Barrett, of the Fanners’ Union, was called up over long distance telephone at headquarters In JJarnesvile and asked concerning the report from Washington that the union was backing the movement -to secure a fraud order from the postoflice against the New York Cotton Exchange. "Yes, we have started such a movement," admitted Mr. Barrett. "As yej no definite action has been taken, but the union Is going to combat that ” enemy °* * arnier - And the New-York Cotton Exchange Is Just Further thun this Mr. Barrett would not go, but he said that he would probably .have a statement to give out In a few days.

Washington, Dec. 28.—Congress will be urged to rid the army of all Its ne gro soldiers, when It next taken, up the consideration of the Brown»vlllc af fair. Tills drastic action has been pro posed and Is receiving serious consid eration from army officer* a* well as members of congress. Four regiments will be afTected—the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry. The suggestion grows out of the fact that ever since the incidents which led the president to discharge three whole companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, a regular wave of crime seems to have swept over the negro troops. Sentiment With Sl*yd*n. Whether or not It was a member of the Twenty-fifth Infantry who shot Captain Maeklln at El Reno, a* la sus pected. there Is no denying the par- tlclpancy of members of the negro reg iments In two disgraceful affair* on Christmas day.

In 1861 he was back In Pittsburg, soliciting a place In the service of the Pennsylvania rail road. The best he could do at the time was to secure a position as rod- man.

In 1870 he became general »rlntendent of the system, i 1889 Mr. Cassatt was made presi dent of the Pennsylvania.

He controlled, directly or Indi rectly, more than 17,000 miles of road and directed the work of more than 100,000 men. There was said to be absolutely no detail In the whole prob lem of railroad management of which he was not technically und practically the master. In addition ot his country place at Ches vold, Pa., Mr. Cassatt had a fine home in South Rlttenhouse square, Philadelphia. He was somewhat of a patron of sports, and also a great CEO.

The main squeezes of the Atlanta tonsorlal parlors of Atlanta did It. They got together In a chunk Thurs day night, when all good people should have been asleep, and took advantage of the helpless fellows whose beards spring up In a night, filled the barber price balloon full ot gas and let her go a-snlllng. On Janunry 1 the balloon will reach 35 degrees ubove zero—36 cents for a hair cut, 35 rents for u shampoo and 35 cents for u hand massage. Holy horrors; And other sanctified bad things! You know' the barbers decided sev eral weeks ago that the price of these fuce commodities should be raised to meet the increased demand, the Im proved skill and the high prices of the necessities of life. Fourteen barber shops were repre sented nt this gathering—all the shops that charge 15 cents for a, shave. One of the fourteen was represented by a proxy. So really, there were only thir teen proprietors In attendance. Un lucky number—so say the fellows with the fertile heads. The price of a shave was not touched, It remains stationed at 15 cents. The sequels to the ahaves were not contin ued stories, though. A shampoo, nfter the happy New Year, will be 35 cents. Likewise, the hair cut and the hand massage. The master barbers also formed an organization, to be known as the Mas ter Barbers' Association of Atlanta. The following officers were elected: L. Q. Rickets, Aragon, president; Joseph Leppert, Fourth National Bank build ing, secretary; S. C. Mills, Jackson Ho- tel, treasurer. "Next!"
