Walter Clark, of Clarksdale, Miss., precipitated the trouble by wander ing from the subject of the "bettei baling, and handling of - cotton " and hitterly denouneing "night riding."~ He called the "night riders"~ "curs" and men who shot people in the back. A. 'C. Roa~ne, a resident of North east, Miss., jumped on his chair and called Mr. Clark to order. He said the night riders were an oppressed people, fighting for what they believ ed to be right, working against over whelming odds, but always from the best motives. His words created a sensation. Men stood on their chairs and the greatest confusion prevailed. President Jordan refused- to enter tain the motion of Mr. Sisson to ad journ and requested Mr. Clark to proceed. This he did. The general committee on resolu tions presented their report, which was unanimously adopted, recom mending that, so far as possible in each individual case, none of the crop of 1908 still in the ownership of the producer be sold below 10 cents pet pound for short staple cotton, urging growers to sell the crop so as to pre vent selling in excess of one-tenth per month of the remaining crop of 1908. The cotton growers are urged to ap p'ly to the local banks for loans, se cured by ware house receipts repres enting cotton to be held for the pur pose of being marketed only when de manded for actual consumption. The suggestions offered to the con vention for the organizing of a hold ing corporation are referred to the permanent committee consisting of Chairman Jordan Charles Gay and Dr. Pierson. They recommendied to the immediate attention of Southern bankers and financiers the inaugura tion of a great cotton bank at some building centre in the South for the 'purpose of establishing a clearing I house of aid in financing and mark eting the cotton crop each season. The report also urges a continua- t tion of the agitation for "cotton fac tories enough in the South to manu- I facture our cotton," and commends ,the efforts by the States of Georgia, Texas and Misssisippi in the estab lishment of textile departments in their agricultural colleges. The re port recommends a diversification ot i crops. claiming that this can only be s brought about by scientific prepara tion of the soil and practical rotation 1 of crops; the extension of ware house y facilities at local market points and i all large interior cotton markets and ; ports and especially commending and i endorsing the building of the propos ed ware holse at the port of New Or leans; that the congress of the United t States and State legislatures enact f alws requiring that the cotton ex- I changes revise their contracts, mak ing contracts fair and just, and that the cotton delivered on the same be t restricted to not more than five grades, and that none below middling be delivered: condemns speculation and gambling in futures now encour-. aged and practiced through all ex changes, approves of the continua tion of the United States cotton sta- t tistical reports, when based upon tan gible facts, we do not appro-!e of re ports based upon calculation and guess work." The report recom mends that the farmers in States now threatened with the boll weevil prepare themselves in advance for the coming of the weevil and n asks for a continuation of govern- D ment and State aid in combating the > weevil. On night riding the report says: "The meeting condemns in un measured terms the recent lawless ness throughout a number of our t Southern States, known as 'night riding,' and we urge that the govern ment of the various States, where this evil is threatening the welfare of the people, to take immediate and decis ive action for effectually suppressing p the same." The report requests the press of a the South to assist in bringing about I the results that are hoped for from b this report. T. U. Sisson presented a resolution, u which was adopted, providing that si President Jordan shall have complete charge of the new organization of ua eotton growers which will include Southern farmers and men in all walks of life. It provides for ap pointment of one man in each State y, to perfect the organization in the coanties of his State. s The purpose of the organization is bo colleet data as to the quality and h.i yield of the cotton crop in each coun by, and data as to 4.he financing of the w Another resolution adopted was of-. resa by H. H. Rogers, of Louisville. Eiss., providing for the appointmen1; Sy President Jordan of two other de- fa egates to form with him a committee to act with a like committee from the re Farmers' Union, to work out a plan t bo capitalize a legitimate corporation, the purpose of which shall be to loan it nioney on, or buy up the crop of all distressed cottdn growers in ordet to keep prices from going below cost. A resolution condemning dealing in 0o Futures and calling on congressmen, United States senators and Christian ninisters to aid in suppressing it was adopted. Dr. A. R. Yarborough. of Comma, b< Miss, introduced a resolution which N was adopted, that members of thep conference study, agitate and edu- o eate in an effort to establish the feasi- f bility of the cotton growers manufac- e turing their own stap)le into cloth and to petition the legislature of the va rious States to pass such laws as will t enable the growers to do so. e The convention adjourned sine die. TAFT MAY VISIT CHARLESTON. a Regrets not Being Able to Spend Win- e ter-President-Elect Says Noth- 2 ing Would Give Him'i.reat er Pleasure. t i News and Courier. Washington, November 15.-Wil- ( liam Howard Taft, president-eledt of the United States, will leave Wash- i ington for Augusta, according to plans announced today, on Decembei 17. Judge Taft held a conference witht the president at the White House to day. At its conclusion, he met 100 or more newspaper men in the east room and outlined his plans for the next month or two. When he was told by Ir the News and Courier correspondentj 1 that the people of Charleston were expecting him to spend some time int that city before taking up life at the It White Hous~e he said that unfortun ately plans had already been made to1 go to Augusta and that he did not see < how they could be broken. "14leaen sant Major Hemphilt, I vih) has just extended me such a cor Hal invitation on behalf of the people )f Charleston to spend the winter here,' said Mr. Taft, "that nothing vould give me greater pleasure, that Laving already enjoyed their un >ounded hospitality on more than one lccasion it would afford me the !reatest pleasure to be with thpr gain were it possible to do so, 'i.,t infortunately, as I have said, my )lans are already made to go to Au :usta. "I am going to Augusta about the aiddle of December, but it is not im irobable that I shall visit Charleston luring my stay in the Georgia city. I hall certainly do so if the opportun ty presents itself. "Please do not forget," the next >resident said, "to extend my sincere hanks to Charlestons' good people or their kind invitation and say to lemphill *hat if he will come over to Ougusta T will try to console him ver the defeat of his candidate in he recent election." When Judge Taft was assured that. Iharleston 's citizens were not people f predatory wealth, and that there rere no rich malefactors there, but hat on the contrary they were broad iinded hospitable Americans he said hat his acquaintance already had -ith them wAs sufficient justification or such a. statement. and said again ith all the emphasis that he was able o command, that he would "see hose good people" before he left the outh. That it will be the intention of the ew president to make friends of the outhern people in every possible way ; shown by the*fact that he will ad ress the North Carolina Society of ew York in the latter city on nigh f December 6. The occasion will be ie annual dinner, and it will afforct im an excellent opportunity to make tore friends in the Tar Heel State. How to Succeed. John G.
