THE COUNTY PAPER
At the Southern Cotton^ Asso-
ciation oonvention which met in
Ne\y Orleans last week* it was
decided to hold cotton for 15
eents and to reduce tire ^acreage
this year 25 per cent. The aid
of the bankers is promised and
the following rdac walk agreed
upon: “Adoption jof a forth' o^ 1
contract by which the farmer of
'cotton can deposit with the
banker receipts or pledges to
hold his cotton for 15 oents,
the contract to provide that the
cotton cannot be sold for, less
than 15 con a basis of middling
at any Southern port except
with the consent of this commit- ■
tee, the owner of the- cotton
having full power and authori-
ty to sell this cotton at 15 eents
or over, the banker to retain 1
cent per pound, to be held in
trust until such time as all this
cotton so pledged has been dis
posed of, when this committee-
will meet and arrange foe the
disposition of the balance fis the
interest may appear."
As it lius liucu generally understood,,
and 1ms been my Intention, to h »«-an

county has a great future before it, and

the county, it means better times for all
and will reqniao more activity in all
linos of- business, and -1 desire to ke#p

There is lots of pleasure
for a farmer to be Vyanked”
from home, possibly 20 miles
away, to do jury service, for
which he will receive scrip of
practically no market value, and
which he cannot sell, as no-'one
else can use it on taxes except
the man who serves^jn'tfte jory,
consequent! y he cannot even
trade it to his hotdl or livery
