A COTTON PLANTER'S TRUST. Members of the Exchange in New York and Other Cities Worried Over John T. Roddey's New Scheme. Members o&fee Ottoo Exhaogehere and T?ot&r ?ries Are somewhat eli? cited over tbe pr?tosi?oo to fee? a " gigantic .trjet # all th?wrtwjl reisers of the So*ik, which is b?ieg advocated by Job* T. Roddey, a prominent broker of this city. The exchanges are appos? ed to the scheme. If such a trust is formed the brokers erny that their boss* ness will be rained, so fer es exercising any control of the market ts concerned. The trust would be able to practically dictate the price of cotton in the open market. Mr. Roddey's plan ie for every cotton" farmer? no matter how small, to become a shareholder. When tbe erop is gathered each member shall tarn into the ?rast one hale oat of every five or six bales raised by bim, or if the crop is a small one, dien one bale ont of every seven or eight shall go to the trust. The amount of cottoo thus placed io the hands of the trust shall be held by the latter as a ?ort of balance wheel to tbe market. The farmer will market his crop, less the amount tam? ed over to the trust, as best ?nits him. The trust supply will be held nntil the market price shall be high ?enough to warrant its sale, and the return of a good profit. Mr. Roddey feels sure that the - adoption of his plan and the formation of a trost as proposed, will at once pat the prise of cottoo up to about eight cents from the present price which is abo ai five cents. This woald be an immediate mod material benefit to the farmer, who would also benefit by the dividends which it ie expected will acer oe to bim oughts trost shares Mr. Roddey suggests a meeting io New York at no ead? date of repre? sentative? of ml! fermera' organisations io the Sooth, to consider the matter. He ba? received a number of letters from prominent cotton plantera and leading eitisens of Sooth Carolina, who heartily indorse the plao. Wheo seen at his office, No. 80 Broadway, Satur? day. Mr Roddey said be expected active steps towards organisation would taken this week. MEMPHIS, Tennessee.-The Federal Court will to-morrow be asked by the Tate brother, of Memphis, to enter ctpoo an investigation of charges made against the cottonseed oil mill-men of the Sooth to the effect that they have nearly all entered into a gigantic con? spiracy to control the market for cottonseed, anoT rtfcafe J_thiscombtfie extends ail over the Southern cottoo States. The specific allegations made in the public pria ts here refer only to the eight Memphis mills bat they are the largest io the world, aod the same own? ers control mills io Louisiana, Arkan? sas, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia and tbe Carolinas. Two years ago cottonseed was worth ?25 per ton ; last year it was {18, while now the market price is poly $9. The mills alleged to be io the combine decline to parchase at any price except from the producer. The seed sold st the Memphis market alone daring the year is worth ip the neighborhood of a miliioo.-New York World. It would require the geoios of a dozeo Philadelphia lawyers to discover how the result of the election st large bears upon the silver question. "Io this case agaiost my client for stealing a pair of pants I move for a nonsuit," said a lawyer* "On what ground ?" asjced thc Judge. 44On the ground that a whole sait can't be made oat of a pair of pants," replied the law? yer. It is said that Seoator Dolph, of of Oregon, never smiles. In the whole coarse o* bis service ia the senate, no? body bas ever seen his eye light op or bis lip quiver. Why it is, oobody has ever had the courage to ask. Less than 100 years ago the Penn? sylvania assembly passed this law: "That in the future no member of the house shall come barefoot or eat his bread and cheese on the steps !" Tho voters of New York struggled under an immense load of ballots. It took the printing establishment five weeks, workiog overtime, to prepare the 19,500,000 tickets that were needed, and it required twelve big vaos to baddie the boxes of packages wheo they bad been prepared. Sixty-five ballots were, prepared for every indivi? dual rotor in New York city. The women of New York who organ? ized clubs and went into toe campaign may be at a loss, for a few days,, now, to find something to take tbe place of their politico-social functions; w bien have been set aside by the ending of the campaign; It is said the women's political clubs bad become "events" io society hardly lesVuftabfe than evenings at the grand opera,- and that at some of the meetings held io the Madison Square Uoncert Hall the show of fash? ion and fine types of New York woman? hood was as good as was ever seen at the horse show. W. A. McGuire, a weil known citizen of McKay, Ohio, is of the opiniou that there is nothing as good for children troubled with colds or croup as Chamberlain's Cough Rem? edy. He has used it in his family for seve? ral years with the best results and always keeps a bottle of it in the house. After hav? ing la grippe he was himself troubled with a severe cough. He used other remedies without benefit and then concluded to try the children's medicine and to his delight it soon effected a permanent cure. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Dr. A. J. China. Cheap ! Cheaper! I Cheapest ! Did yon eyer hear of goods being sold so cheap? All goods except Corn and Bacon are cheaper than ever before. Cotton is cheap because so much has been made. Corn and ttaeoo are high because so little has been made. We are not io tending to deliver a lec? ture on political economy, bot to le' yon know that you eas boy things so cheap from ns. Believiog that money would be scarce, we only boaght what we could seil cheap. Don't imagine we mean to say that oar stock is cheap, common goods, but CHEAP FOR THE QUALITY. Our Groceries will always be the best that money can boy, but they will be sold cheap. Thers is not a boase in the South that carries a better class of GROCERIES than Do, but there are thousands who charge more. In DRY GOODS we have all you want-cheap, medium and fine, but they will be sold cheap. If you arc a mao and want a Hat come and see our Job Lots before buy? ing. We bought drummers'samples at fifty cents on the dollar is the reason we sell them so cheap. The nobbiest and latest styles as cheap as you could buy a second hand one.
