Cotton Farmers Will Got Fair Trice fer Their Staple. New Orleans, Oct. 15.-Determi nation of the blame for damage to cotton and the necessity of hotter warehousing for the product, from the farmer to the consumer were topics brought out emphatically on the second day of the world cotton conference here, with a spirited de bate at times developing between the growers and tho buyers. E. A. Calvin, of -Houston, Texas, said that the "country damage" annually would build sufficient ware houses for protection of the crop in the South. Governor Bickett, of North Caro lina, said everybody was to blame for the damage and denounced the leaving of the cotton in the rain as "a deliberate economic crime." W. G. Turner, of Little Rock, scored the railroads for damage to cotton In transit. Following the charges frc ,n growers that buyers resorted to short weighing a counter charge wa hurled on the floor of growers deliberately leaving baled cotton in the rain to absorb moisture and gain weight. Dofends Growers. Col. W. B. Thompson, of New Or leans, defended the growers and de clared it would be Impossible to in crease acreage unless a fair price was guaranteed. Spinners, factors and ginners were also blamed for damage, and the English delegation assorted that the United States bales are blunders In wrapping and com pressing and cause a heavy loss in shipping. Financing of Amorlcan sales to Europe through control of tho dis tribution of raw materials and sup plies was advocated in an address delivered at the night session of tho conference by John Bolinger, vice president of tho National Shawmut Bank of Boston. Under Mr. Dollng er's plans raw material would bo shipped from Hu rope on a live years' credit basis. Bills would be payable In the United states. Thomas neilin, United States rep resentative from Alabama, declarod tho time would come when tho grow HREAKS A COLD IN A FEW HOURS "Tape's ('?dd Compound" Instantly relieves stullincst. mid distress.

Insist on Fuir Prices. "The farmers now for the first time," said Congressman Heflln, "are being organized and they will insist that they be paid what they are entitled to-a fair price for cotton, a price which will repay thom for their labor and investment and give them a reasonable profit." The Ala bama representative spoke In place of Senator Smith, of South Carolina, who because of illness, was unable to attend the conference. D. S. Murphy, of the United States Department of Agriculture, ex plained the uniform classification of cotton. R. N. Durfee, of Fall River, Mass., defended the present nethods of buying cotton. Able to Finance Cotton. England, tho Scandinavian coun tries and Spain will be able this year to finance their importations of cot ton without outside assistance. Italy, France and Belgium will need assistance, and Poland and Bohemia not only will need help, but are striving with only partial success to ascertain where such aid is coming from. Those assertions were made at a meeting to-night of the commit tee of financing foreign credits and exports of tho world cotton confer ence, in session here. France Lost 27 War Vessels.

Now Orleans, Oct. 15.-British cotton spinners were urged to-day to send representatives to tho fields of the South, buy cotton from the farmer direct, bale the staple as they soe flt, eliminating all middle men and reducing the cost of the raw material to tho spinner, at the same time increasing the price paid to tho producer. This proposal, along the lines of the systems used by the British to bacco manufacturing interests in Kentucky, was made at a meeting late to-day of a special committee of world cotton conference delegates, composed of ten foreign spinners, ten American spinners and twenty American cotton growers. It was the flrBt time in fifty years, it was stated, that American cotton producers and British spinners had met in formal conferences. The mooting, which brought both ends of the cotton industry together assured the success of tho confer ence, leaders stated to-night. Speakers agreed that no arbitrary price could be fixed for any given period for cotton, owing mainly to the tremendous fluctuations in the amounts of cotton picked in relation to the amount planted in different years. Conditions of weather and of in sect depredations made it impossi ble, it was stated, to set an advance price on tho staple, as the growing costs cannot be estimated until the crop has been garnered and ginned. It was agreed by speakers, how ever, that profits wore being made by middlemen who had no direct in terests in tho growing, spinning or manufacturing branches of tho in dustry, tho "consumer having higher prices to pay for the finished article than would be necessary under strict regulation of tho industry.

People of Stonyford, I lovo you all. Goodbye-tor a time. Cash Martin. Cas^ E. Martin is dead, passing away at 10 o'clock this morning at the Busch Hospital in the presence of his wife, children and friends. He is tho last of the four men to dlo of the drinking of a home-made intoxicant at Stonyford about the middle of September. This is a de scription of the making and view then taken of the matter-written persumnbly, by Martin himself, and regarded, it is noted, at that time as just a joke made out of a frolic of tho several men who Imbibed: "Two Stonyford mon tho other dny decided there was no law against placing some canned preserves apricots, peaches and the Uko-in a bar'l, hud no law against niling said | bar'l with genuine old Stony creek water. Furthermore, Uncle Sam could have no objections to the com bination sitting a few days. Look ing through the Declaration of In dependence, the constitution of the realm, the book of statutes and the National Prohibition Weekly, they | found no law against drinking from a bar'l. "So far, so good. "They drank. As they did so the gloom of life vanished. The man zanlta turned to porphery, tho chem isai to onyx, the liveoak bush to frankincense. Roses bloomed afresh, fountains sprayed perfume, and untold wealth was theirs. That stuff about bolsheviks, reaction aries, Influenza and wars and hor rors slunk away, and they lived onco more in the glori us days of 1889. Hut .finally the bar'l went dry. Sobering up set in. It set in like a third battle of the Marne. The world came back to reality. A Ca lousa doctor was called. Their throats were paralyzed; their brows were fevered. They were, in brief, strictly sick. It ls believed they will recover, but for a time lt was not altogether certain." But the drink carried with lt a deadly poison. The two men taken to the county hospital, Frank Carney and Jack Triplett, died of the drink. Then Martin and Androw O'Leary were brought to the hospital hore and lingered between life and death until Thursday, when O'Leary passed over. There was hope for Martin still, and yesterday there WOB improve ment enough in his condition to give his physician a little hope, but he was too weak to rally, and the end came. A few days after his being taken to the hospital the deceased no doubt had it in mind that he could not live, for it was then that he penned the farewell to the wofld and his d?ar Stonyford which heads this article. Martin was somewhat of a liter ary genius and did considerable writing for sovernl of the papers In' his section. He was a lover of na ture, a dreamer, and a man of con siderable originality in thought; and from his mountain homo at Stony ford, whore he was a hill farmer, he sent out his thoughts to tho poople in tho valleys, and what he wrote was ever worth perusal. Hoing a lover of nature, he was a kindly man and had many friends among his associates. Doceasod leaves a widow, a son of 1? years and n little girl aged live.
