COTTON SPECULATION DOOMED j
Ginners Anxious to Buy Direct from
Planters?Discussion Before the
Cotton Congress at Atlanta
Indicates that the
Middleman Will he
Eliminated.
Atlanta, (Ja., October S.?That tin*
time is not far distant when the cotton
planters of the south will sell ,
tlioir product direct lo the spinners <>l j |
Kurope and America instead of j ,
through the middle man in bales tfincomptvssed
at the plaidation with ! |
methods in which Ins has beer, reduc- )
ed to a ini11iiiiuin. was indicated bv '
to-day's discission he Core the Inter- |
national ('on I eivnce of Cotton (Irow-! j
ers ami Spinners. I ?
Spinners represent ii?vr hundreds of j I
mills ,-ind millions of spindles told i
the planters thai lliev were not only j
willimr but anxious to buy their cot- 1 x
ton direct from the planter .just as j
soon as the planter can deliver. Hijr <
pla n I ers and representatives of the | \
Fanner*' I nion told the spinners of ,
Murope that already they were organ- j s
i/.ed. had built ;i chain of cotton ts
ware houses, had perfected a lnisi-J
Hess system by which the spinners'.,
could purchase an almost unlimited I .
supply ot irrailed cotton and were [ j
ready lo eliminate the antiquated j .,
melhoti <i| selling through a middle ,,
man. ^

adoption by the Conference of a resolution
presented by the committer y
on trade relations between growers 1;
and spinners. This resolution dvelar- <
ed thai much of the present diflicul- c
ty in handling cotton could bo cli- i (]
minated if tin; ?rowers would adopt [ m
what is known as the ware house sys- j ]
lent and establish selling agents in
10urope and America. ' |
An essential part of this scheme is , h
the adoption of a standard type of!*
contract clnssilication of cotton bv 1<
grade and color alone, the unit to be , h
fjn.Oni) pounds instead of MM) bales e
net wei:.'hl, and the handling of cot- n
ton under uniform rules. These
points were embodied in the resold-, u
t ions presented by the coniinit lee on I
I ransport at ion, and Ihese also were a
|
una. iniously adopted by the Confer-,''
ence. Thus two long steps ill the , p
great work of the ('oiiI'i'itucc, the I'
rai.-ing ot the standard of co|<(ou de- j li
livered lo the spinner ami simplei | e
ami more economical methods of t
handling, involving a saving, it is as- g
serted, of something like $'2fi,(M)0,

"Treat work of the Conference s
yet remains lo be done. This is thej^i
final action on the general subject of '?
growing and handling cotton. Weso- '
lulions bearing on this wore present- (>
ed at to-day's session by the commit- '
too to which the subject was refer-i '
red, and after a somewhat protracted ; '
discussion were ordered printed, and j '
will come np for further discussion j n
tomorrow, with the probabilities that 11
the Conference will devote most of >
the :i u a I day's session to their cousid- 11
oral ion. The recommendations of
this committee embodied the follow- lii)"?'
points: ^
That planters select and save their *
seed for I no next crop to insure a '
high standard.
That freshly picked cotton be housed
from forty lo sixty days before,1'
shipment. ! "
Thai planters, as fast as possible,
oilln'r a-^ individuals or in conununi-j '
ties, adopt gin compressing and the!'
Kiryptian form id" bale. The latter n
means in effect ginning and compressin<4
on the plantation. j '
The coinmitlce on buying and sell- "
iiv:, to which wa< referred Comrress- ' '
man llielTm's rcsHlut ion directed
against cotton speculation, adopted "
the resolution, and then referred it In i "
' . > sub-commit lee appointed yester- '
day. (>f which Mr. Ileflin is chairman, | )
for further action. This means that j l'
the subject will be debated on tlieM
flo.->i of 111c conference. j ?
Spinners and planters alternated j
to-day in puilinvr forward their side j
of the question of cotton growni'.'
and -|>i11ninlt.
Addresses were made by Thomas
C'oaI(*:' and William llowai'li, of England:
IIerr KntVior, of Au.'ria, re !
presenting the spinners; K. A. Cal-j
vin, of Houston, Tex., and T. ,). j
Brooks, represent ing Hie Farmers'l
Union, and E. I). Smith, of South Car- |
oli'i'i, who warmly defended fiftoenc.'nt
cotton.
Samuel T. Hubbard, of the New
York Cotton Exchange, and Mark If.
Thomas, of Houston, Texas, defended |
cotton exchanges. Speculation, said i
Mr. Hubbard, could never lie abolish-f
cd; it was nature's way of forward-)
ing civilization, and the elimination
ol speculation would reduce the ratio
of buyers.
FIRST SUNG IN (CHARLESTON.
"Glory Hallelujah" a Hymn Tune

In an unnamed grave on the Common
lies I lie lirst professional composer
of America, William Hillings,
tviio was Boston born and bred.

but llieiv was stirring music in
eliyion then.
These fails, says Musical America,
vere deli.irlitl'ully presented by Prof.
<ouis C. Klson. of t'lie Now Kngland
'oiiscrvaturv, in an "Old I Tome
Yeek " lecture mi "Boston in American
Musical History." He tilled the
ubjed with old incidents and sang
nalches of o|<l sonys as illustrations.
The Puritans, be said, looked askmce
at music, but one of the more
idvanci'd men, Mr. Brat lie, actually
irought an organ to Boston as early
is I(!!){). In 171rt In; was daring
Mituvli Id offer il to the Puritan
'hurcli. though with compunctions,
or In* stipulated that in case of re'i
i-a I il should be given If) the
hurcli of Kngland. Thus Kind's 1
'Impel won its first organ, the Pnrians
preferrinir their bassoon and 'col- (
> as les sacriligious.
In such an atmosphere music deeloped
slowly. It was not until the '
!ite eighteenth country that America
ould claim a native professional i
omposor. William Billings was the
rst to make music his vocation as
. ell as avocation, and he was evidentv
not appreciated.
It is recorded that a neighbor of <
he musician tied two cats together ,
v I heir tails and dangled them ^
ereeching m-er his gate, writing he>w
"Billings's Music:" also that '

tritish ollieers raced I heir horses
cross the Common on Sunday morn- '

efore the Park Street ('unroll to an- 1
oy the colonists within. <
"The Star Spangled Banner." or- '
nil,ally a drinking song, composed by |
I r. Arnold, was first known to ^

'Adams and Liberty." Tlio song :
