President Harvio Jordan, of the ?Southern Cotton Association, has is sued a note of warning to tho farm ers, merchants and others in the .somli who are holders of spot cotton, ?urging them not to be misled by the ?cotton buyers who aro now operating At interior points and trying to make them part with their spot holdings. ?"Hold your cotton like grim death," .is the keynote of President Jordan's warning, which is as follows : Atlanta, October 27.- Farmers ?nd merchants of tho South are warned ngaiust cotton buyers who aro now busy at many interior points trying to induce spot holders to sell them their cotton at market prices .and agreeing to pay any additional advance that may accrue within the next sixty or ninety days. If you .deliver up your cotton on that basis and the buyers get enough of tho staple in their hands to lill their or ders, there is but little chance for the market to advance. Tho only way to force an advance quickly is to re fuse to part with tho cotton until .satisfactory prices are offered. No .midling cotton should be sold r.t in terior points for less than ll cents per pound. The crop is short and ;all who hold will be rewarded as they tshould be. "Again, don't lend your cotton to docaj mills on the promise of settle ment at any time within the next few months. With the staple in the hands of the spinners prioes can never advance. "Again notify warehousemen to whom you ship your cotton for stor age that under no circumstances must your cotton be loaned or sold to exporters or buyers on any sort of trade or contract until you are ready to sell it. All kinds of tricks and de vices are being resorted to now by buyers and spinners to iuduoe farm ers to part with their ootton. Every man who is lead into any of these trades is unwittingly playing into the hands of the buyers and against his owu interest and that of his neighbors. "Hold your cotton like grim death. Then grip the spot market and stand firm for higher prices and the victory will soon be yours and the continued prosperity of the South assured. Yours truly, liar vic Jordan, President.

A statement recently issued by tho bureau of commorco aud labor says that for tho yoar 1004 tho cost of living was in excess of any previous year in tho history of tho country. Tho year 181)0 was tho ouly year for a lumber of years, according to tho state ment of tho department's statisticians, in which the cost of living did not show au increase. In 1800 tho averago cost per family was $318.20. In 1MRJ it was $200.70. In 1004 il was $.147.10, an in crease of more than $58 over 1800, and an iucreaso of moro than $25 over 1800. This geueral increase has not as a rule gone hand in hand with au increase itt tho prico of farm produco, or the price of labor.-Atlanta Constitution. Luke Vernor Hurt by Electric Car.

Kelley, a well-known Jackson street liveryman, and Luke Vernor, of Seneca, was smashed into splin ters Thursday morning and Messrs. Kelloy and Verner injured, the latter perhaps seriously. The horse, a valu able sorrel mare, belonging to Mr. Kelley, was dragged under the wheels of the oar for twenty-tive feet, but beyond a few bruises was not burt. Mr. Kelley, who sustaiued only painful bruises, placed Mr. Verner aboard a oar and brought him to his home, 310 West MeBoe aveuue, where he is now under medical treat ment. He bas numerous external contusions and lesions and thinks that he is burt internally in chest aud back. He was hurled thirty foot through the air, Mr. Kelley says. They wore driving out to tho Pied mont fair grounds to look at Mr. Vernor's horses, which are entered for the fair week races. They did not know, Mr. Kelley declared, that there was a car near until it struck the vehicle at a crossing of the Bun combe road, beyond the village of the American Spinning Company. ' They were directly on the track and were struck squarely. Ma. Verner is known wherever horses and race tracks go together in Georgia and the Carolinas, and it is hoped that be will recover in time to attend the Piedmont fair. He is a genial, whole-souled man, with friends in Bcorcs wherever he is known.-Greenville News. Sluggish Liver a Foe to Ambition.
