Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton As sociation; second vice president, R. M. Miller, Jr.. president American Cotton Man ufact rers' Association; third vice president, H. W. MIacallis ter, of the International Federation; secretaries, Richard Cheatham, C. J. Woodbury and C. B. Bryant. The President's Address. President 1acColl opened the pro ceedings by a brief address in which lie expressed the view that the meet in- would throw much light upon the problems that confront the cotton in dustry in this country and at the same time assist in a better understanding among the representatives of the sev eral interests. Among these problems he enumerated the ques:ion of an ample supply of cotton for the world's needs; the stability of price; specula tion; the better handling of cotton; the accuracy of government crop re ports. Mr. MacColl did not believe that American manufacturers wanted to see a low-priced cotton that was improfitable to the Southern grow rs. whom he thiought were entitled to a fair and ample profit. At the same time he felt that economy should be practieed and improvements made in the growing of cotton in order that the price might be reduced with out reducing the margin of profit. Representative Livingston, of Geor.. ia, took exception to the opening emarks of MIr. M1acColl and said that they were unfair to the growers of the South. The afternoon session was presided over by Harvey Jordan, president of Ithe Southern Cotton Asociation, who addressed the convenition on the cot ton industry generally. He gave cred it t'o the spinners and manufacturers for ititiating the conference and that in considering the relations between the growers and the spinners whatever affected the cotton production would rea~ict disastrioushy upon the spinning indulstry and vice versa. The grow ers and the spinners, lie addad. had been strangers too long. "Divided, thev have been the prey of and have Ito 'submit to, the dominating and disasterous effects of hte buying and speulaijn influtences of the world.'' This unsatisfactory condition, he de larei. would continue so long as it was permitted. lie asserted that the cotton growers of the South would henceforth insist upon and enforcee te payment of a fair and protitable price for cotton. "The day of pro ducing cheap. raw cotton.'' he declar ed. "at from 6i to S cents per pound is passed.' Attempt to Confirm Barnes Fails.

It was found that the dele-a,>- wore not elothed with suffh-lent an-lorit to (-I-et a permanent organizz ionl. Wlien tile subject of governmt~ i ,rYop reports came up, Pr-ident Maecoll spoke in commendation of the Census Bureau work, but said he felt that sofme radical cliange in the methods of the Agricultural Depart ment should be made. P:-esilent Ilarvie Jordan, of the Southern Cot ton Association, also coa:nended some features of the governm;-t re ports. but numerous other d--eates strongly condemned them. i). A Tompkins of North Carolin, ebarae terized them as "a compieced sys tem of guessing,'' while a Sie:I('rrt grower denounced-thcm as "_ specu lative fool b;ll.'' No Agreement on Remed. Various remedies were s:: but as no delegates seemed bie to agree on a satisfactory plan-, the whole subject wai laid on the table President Maccoll exprcssed the hope that henceforth there vill be a closer bond of union "betwveen the North and South and bntweenr American and Europe in all that per tains to cotton growinz ar.i ndanu facturing." Another topic of discussion was the marketing of the product, which embraced the questions of warehous ing, stability of price and relations between growers and manufacturers From Farmers' Standpoint. A. E. Calvin, president of the Farmers' Education and Co-opera tive union. declared that it long had been the dieam of the cotton grower to abolish all intermediate aents. who levy :oll unnecessarily on the product of its journey from the ield to ihe factory. The grower, he said,. is the constant and persistent foe of all forms and methods of cotton gambling. Violent fluctuations of the market, he continued, are quite as disturbing and unprofitable to the grower as to the spinner. He voiced what he said was the unanimous sen timent of the Southern growers, to join in any movement which prom ises to eliminate the grambler from the cotton market, to reduce the inarketing expenses, to expedite the delivery of cotton to tihe spinner, and to give reasonable stability to the market price. He declared that the South was so completely able to sup ply tihe wvorld with cotton that with a proper understanding: with die, manufacturers there would be no-~ necessity for conduct ing experfiments in Afri and elsewhere.
