I COTTON CONFERENCE. ?' t 'Night Riding" Denounced and De- v fended?Convention Gets P Excited. I Memphis, Tenn., November 12. Denunciation of night riding and a ' fiery defence or the ''night riders'' > threw the convention of the Southern Cotton fl rowers' and Dinners' asso- ' eiatiton into disorder today and nearly tenninaled the session before r the programme had fairly begum ^ While excited delegates linrlod char- ' gos and counter-charges, T. U. Sis- ' son,- of Mississippi, moved that the ' convention adjourn sine die. IVesi- ' dent Jordan finally brought a scm- ' blanee of quiet and made a plea foi < order. i Walter (Mark, of Clarksdale, Miss., < precipitated the trouble by wander- 1 ing from the subject of the "betlet baling and handling of cotton" and ' bitterly denouncing "night riding.'* ' lie called llie ''night riders" "curs'' ' and men who shot people in the back. " A. Roane, a resident of Northeast, Miss., jumped on his chair and called Mr. Clark to order, lie said ' the night riders were an oppressed 1 people, fighting for what, they believ- ' ed to be right, working against over- ' whelming odds, but always from the 1 best motives. Mis words created a sensation. Men stood on their chairs and the greatest confusion prevailed. 1 I iesident Jordan refused to entertain I he motion of Mr. Sisson to adjourn ami requested Mr. Clark to proceed. This lie did. I he general committee on resolutions presented their report, which was unanimously adopted, recommending that, so far as possible in each individual case, none of the crop ol IPOS still in the ownership of the producer be sold below ll) cents pei pound lor short staph* cotton, urging growers to sell the crop so as to prevent selling in excess of one-tenth pet month of the remaining crop of l!)08. The cotton growers are urged to apply to the local banks for loans, secured by ware house receipts representing cotton to be held for the purpose of being marketed only when demanded lor actual consumption. ,4 ' The suggestions offered to the convention for I lie organizing of a holding corporation are referred to tinpermanent committee consisting ot Chairman Jordan Charles Cay and Dr. Pierson. They recommended to the immediate attention of Southern bankers and financiers the inauguration of a great cotton bank at .some building centre in the South for the T-'.v. t : t>~ \ mmmmm mm \ ?Vliti/iimSsfaxite--tlX\ .? I s: ... purpose of establishing a clearing tiou.se of aid in financing and marketing f he cott-on crop each sea-son. The report also urges a continuation of tho agitation for "cotton factories onough in the South to manufacture our cotton," and commends he efforts by the States of Georgia, Texas and Misssisippi in the establishment of textile departments iti I heir agricultural colleges. The retort recommends a diversification of ;rops, claiming that this can only be ! wrought about by sc.'cntific preparaion of tho soil and practical rotation >f crops; tho extension of ware house ] Virilities at local market points and ( ill large interior cotton markets and i torts and especially commending and j ndorsing the building of the proposal ware house at the port of New Or- j cans; that the congress of tho United | - titles and Stale legislatures enact ilws requiring that the cotton ox- ] hanges revise their contracts, makmr contracts fair and just, and that < ho cotton delivered on tho same be < 'ostiictod to not more than five :r:nlos, and that none below middling ^ ie delivered; condemns speculation iid Gambling in futures now oneourigod and practiced through all oxhangos, approves of the continuaion of I lie United Slates cotton staistical reports, when based upon tangible facts, wo do not approve of re- j ^ >orts based upon calculation and j i 'Iiess work." The report recom- ^ iicnds that the farmers in States iow threatened with the boll , weevil prepare themselves in advance or the coming of the weevil and sks for a continuation of govern- 1 lent and State aid in combating the ! reevil. ' <>n night riding the report savs: ' *' Pile moot inn eoudeiuns in uu- ' iieasurod terms the recent lawless- ' icss throughout a number of our outhern States, known as 'night ' idinar,' and we urge that tho govern- 1 ion! ??f (lie various States, whore this vil is threatening the welfare of the cople, to take immediate and decisi*c action for effectually suppressing [ he same." ^ The report requests the press of i lie South to assist in bringing about 1 he results that are hoped for from 1 his report. \ T. U. Sisson presented a resolution, 1 t'hich was adopted, providing that s 'resident Jordan siiall have complete hargc of the new organization of n ollon growers which will include out horn farmers and men in nil iralks of life. Tl provides for aplointment of one man in each State \ o perfect the organization in the nun ties of his State. s The purpose of the organization is o collect data as to the quality and 1 iold of I ho cotton crop in each oonny, and data as to tho financing of the \ rop. ? Another resolution adopted was oferod by II. IT. Rogers, of Louisville, iliss., providing for I lie appoint ment iv President Jordan of two other do- f egates to form with him a committee o act with a like committee from the , ''armors' Union, to work out a plan j o capitalize a legitimate corporation, ho purpose of which shall be to loan j nonov on, or buy up the crop of all listressed cot Io'n growers in ordei o keep prices from going below cost.

A. |{. \arborough, of ('omnia, i Miss, introduced a resolution which ivas adopted, thai members of the , i'onterence study, agitato and odu- i al?' in an ell'orl to cstahli-h the feasibility of the cotton growers manufacluring their own staple into cloth ami lo petition the legislature of the va- j nous Stales to pass such laws as will enable the growers to do so.
