FA 'RMERtS' UNION. Every Southern State Represented at Memphis Meeting-Will Hold for Fifteen SCents. 'AMemphis, Tenn.. Jan. 7.-The i annual convention of the Farmers' Educational and Cooperative un ion met here today. About 300 de- ti legates, representing every South- st ti ern state, and Miss ,uri, Kansas and tl Washington are in attendance. d G. S. Barrett of Union county, al Georgia. president of the union, be fore calling the convention to or er, said: It "One of the most important we hope to accomplish is to 5 cents for cotton, and we are to get it if we have to hold it the market for years." 0 ides planning for the reduc- d tion of the cotton acreage the con- C vention is considering steps to make ti practicable the holding of cotton by p those who are not in shape finan- fc cially to wait months for their money. -0 Numerous suggestions have been~ s .made along this line. One which p has bebn discussed at some length ti was warehouse certificates for stor- c ed cotton as the basis of a bond is- o sue. These bonds will be sold to b those members of the union who tl have the ready money to spare. A c fair rate of in,terest would be fix- e ed, the bonds to mature in 12 tl months. t< While the members of the union v would be first urged to take these ti bonds. they would also be offered to such banks as might desire them. In 'all cases the interest would make them a desirable investment. The effect would be to band all the sections more closely together, by the forming practically of a big company with all members vitally u interested in- the price of cotton. Another proposition being dis- J tussed is the forming of a regular i stock company and to issue stock r with seed cotton as the basis. n HONOR FOR DR. JOYNES. tl University Professor Granted Retir- p ing Allowance from Carnegie t Foundation. t1 e Columbia, Jan. 7.-At the meet- ' i ing of the faculty of the University P of South Carolina this afternoon t. anno'uincement was made that Dr. Edward S. Joynes had been voted i< a handsome "retiring allowance" t< by the Carnegie board for the ad- r vancement of education, "in con-n sideration of unusual and distin- t guished service as a professor of s modern languages."I This complimentary action was based on a record of continuous t Sand varied service since 1853, and s has been recommended by many of i - Dr. Joynes's old pupils and friends, t ~who occupy prominent and import- ' ant positions in various parts of ~the ' countrf. Dr. Joynes has accord ingly submitted his resignation, to I take effect at the close of the prnes- r ent session. For twenty-five years Dr. Joynes 1 has been a member of the faculty ~ of the South Carolina College, ~ now the University of South Car olina. Before that he was a mem ber of the faculty of Washington and Lee University, at Lexington, 2 Va., serving under the presidency of Gen. Robert 'E. Lee, and before that timie he was a teacher at the University of Virginia, where he had studied and obtained his 'de gree. Since coming to the Southt Carolina State College he has been engaged, not only in teaching, but in the preparation of text books, which have gained a wide use throughout the United States. Dr. Joynes has for years ranked as one 1 of the country's leading teache,.rs ' in modern languages, and his work1 -<s author and teacher has com-i mended him to the Carnegie board.( It is the rule of the Carnegie fcomi-2 dation that no "retiring allowance" shall be granted to teachers in state or denominational institu tions, but on account of his distin guished services in the cause of education an exception has been Im-ade in the case of Dr. Joynes. Dr. Joynes has since its founda tion been a trustee of Winthrop College and has taken an acute in terest in the affairs of the state at large. He is a man of wide learn ing and broad sympathies and, while he will retire from aetive work at the close osf the present sesson, it is hoped that he will be prevailedL on to remain as adviser . and counsellor at the University of South Carolina. His place at the head of the department of modern languages will indeed be hard to fill. J. H. WILL APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE. Augusta City Cruneil Worked Up Over North Augusta Dispensrry. Augusta, Ga., January 7.-Find ig it illegal to put a toll on the forth Augusta Bridge, and thus ill the dispensary at that place. ie city council of Augusta by ringent resolutions has decide('. take the matter up direct with ie South Carolina legislature and l emand that the dispensary be >olished. The mayor and three embers of council will appear be re the legislature to present reso itions to that end adopted tonight. After a preamble citing in speci terms the injury of the dispen try, the resolution says: "Be it resolved, That the city >uncil of Augusta do have ad ressed to the legislature of South arolina a memorial setting forth le preambles herein contained and etitioning that honorable body )r the reasons hereinbefore set )rth, to so amend the law now in peration in that state as to ngt de :rov completely the desires o'f the eople of, Georgia, as. evinced by 1e overwhelming majority of its osen representatives that the sale f liquor should be forever prohi ited in its confines, and to.send to ie legislature of South Carolina a >mmittee from this body to pres nt that memorial and to urge that ie state of South Carolina grant > this municipality relief from that will appareitly be a condi- I on of unmived evil." ALDRICH OPPOSING CAPERS. Another Report as to why Latter's Confirmation is Being Held Up. Washington, January 6.-It is nderstood today that the question I f confirming the nominatipn of ohn G. Capers as commissioner of iternal revenue will possibly be eached in the Senate during the ext few days, but there is still a ystery concerning the matter. enator Tillman has already said at he was not opposed to Mr. Ca ers' confirmation, and Senator La mer made the same statement to 2ie News and Courier correspond nt today. Therefore if a fight is ade it will not be because of op osition on the part of either ot 2e South Carolina Senators. From another source it has been ~arned that the opposition of Sena >r Arich~ was the cause of the omination' being held up, and that .e has exj essed surprise th'at the wo South Carolina Senators hould back Mr. Capers, who is a t.epublican. The hold-up' suggests that al ough Senator Aldrich is of the ame political faith as Mr. Capers may be that he is using his posi ion as a club f'or political reasons, vhich are not now apparent, but hich may develop later. It is al o learned that Mr. Capers may old his 'present position indefi itely, Mr. Pearl Wright, the orn inal appointee, having given no ndication recently that he means o come to Washington any time ON THE BLUE RIDGE. krrival anid Departure of All Trains to Anderson Changed-Two' Trins Discoutinued.
