of American Association at .
Convention in Montgomery.
i
Montgomery, Ala., April ! ">.?
Organization of a strong nnanciai in-:
stitution in each cotton state of the
South, the stock to be taken largely
by the farmers, all to he coordinated
to form an export cotton corporation ;
to handle direct sales of the staple'
to foreign interest's, was unanimously
indorsed tonight by the American
Cotton association.
This action followed an address by j
Governor Dorsey of Georgia, who:
discussed the plan he had developed
for forming such an institution in
that state, and which, he declared, !
was entirely feasible, and if under- J
taken in every cotton growing state,
would create a powerful financial i
link in permitting the grower to deal.
more directly with the spinner.
J. S. Wannamaker of St. Matthews,
S. C., was nominated for reelection as
president of the association in the report
of the committee on election J
submitted this afternoon. A vote on j
the recommendation will be cast Fri- i(
day afternoon. Other officials i\omi- j

Powell of Arkansas, vice president;;!
Harvie Jordan, Atlanta, secretary; B. |<

man finance committee, and T. H. jShackelford,
Georgia, attorney. {
In line with the adoption of the (
report of the committee on marketing
and warehousing, which recom- \1
mended a commission to make a study j'
of national and foreign needs in the f'<
cotton world, President Wannamakerj
tonight named: D. S. Murph, Wash-j<
ington, D. C., specialist in ware- j j
housing; A. F. Lever, chairman of j1

Jordan, Atlanta, to that board. His!
duties permitting, Gov. W. P. G. ;

ford, Athens, Ga.; H. D. Wilson, j
commissioner of agriculture, Louis- j
iana, and J. R. Alexander of Scotts,!
Ark.
At the morning session the report
of the committee on acreage and j
price recommended that a minimum j

of good crops in large quantities, j
The report was unanimously adopted.:
A recommendation that commun- j
ity warehouse movements be inaug- j
urated throughout the cotton states I
also was indorsed, together with a j
resolution indorsing the Comer
amendment to tl * agricultural bill
with respect to deliveries on future
contracts.
THE LESSONS' OF IT.
Greenwood Index-Journal.
"Let justice be done though the
Heavens fall," runs the oft quoted
maxim though one does not always
strive in practice to bring it about.
Suppose John and Kenneth Gossett
had been captured by a^ mob the day
after the commission of the crime at
Abbeville?would John Gossett today
be alive, a free man and enjoying all
the rights of a citizen?
How much chance would he have
*
had at the hands of a crowd, bent
simply on vengeance and no concern
about justice? *
The great danger of the probable
punishment of innocent parties was
pointed out at the time of the gross
blunder made in the first arrest in j
this case.
? This first arrest and the outcome of ,
the trial following the second arrest |
ought to be a lesson to all men who :
would join a crowd to take the law j
ill L V./ I lO W> ii liuiiuc* |
A great victory for law and order i
was won in the trial last week in Ab- j
beville and Judge Sease's position as I
to the dignity of the court was up-'
held by the development of events, j
Aside from the lesson as to respect'
for the law is the great moral lesson j
which men and women, especially j
fathers and mothers, should learn i
from the Abbeville affair.
Young boys and girls should be
taught that there is a conventional
boundary line to conduct which must j
be recognized and respected. There r
is entirely too much freedom in gen- j
eral behavior between the sexes in;
this day and time. Things "don't j
matter" which should matter. Un-j
less men and women wake up to the
fact the whole social system will be
imperilled if it is not already im-;
perilled in the lack of respect for,
i .
conventional behavior.
Do you know where your boy and !
you~ girl are aft^r
Do you ever protest at the familiar- |
sty with which boys and girls mani-b
fest toward each other. [
A father who sought to warn his j
son against something which his ex-j
perienced eye saw coming, carried j
him into a room where an electric j
motor was humming, furnishing pow-j
er to do certain essential things and ;
"\lv son. ploctrieitv is a power- !
fill form of energy. Controlled it j
serves man in many, many ways. It j
gives him power to do great things.;
But when uncontrolled it is the most |
powerfully destructive agency in!
Nature. It carries death and annihi-1
lation along with it. Love for a j
woman is like that, controlled it is!
the most powerful inspiration forj
?00(1 and happiness which may in- j
fiuence a man. Uncontrolled, it leads !
to ruin, to death and to horrors too j
fearful to name."

TJhe object of the brotherhood as ;
set forth in the constitution is: (1)
To lead men into fellowship with
Christ and the church; (2) To promote
the spiritual, intellectual and
social welfare of its members; (3)
Tq quicken the activity and increase
the efficiency of the congregation
with which it is connected, both in
the community and in the church at
large; (4) To give to men in every
condition of life, especially in times
of trial, the stimulus 01 unrisuan
comradeship and the inspiration that
comes from association with men of
kindred aims.
As a Brotherhood it stands for
everything that tends to a noble manhood.
The Brotherhood starts off with 44
members. And it is the desire of the j
officers of the organization to coral
all of the men of the church in this
body.
The first meeting will be held in the
Sunday school room of the Church of
the Redeemer Friday evening, April
23, at 8 o'clock. An interesting pro*

SPEEDING MUST BE STOPPED.
Greenville News.
The man who goes into the street
and fires a pistol promiscuously into
the crowd is no more of a criminal
thpn the one who drives an automobile
at a reckless rate of speed over;
the streets.
'Almost every day the newspapers,
carry stories of persons injured by j
reckless automobile drivers in Green- j
ville county. And it is marvelous,
that as many people as do escape the
? 1-_ ^1- - X. !
murderous vemcies mat use mc
streets of Greenville and the roads
of the county for a speedway.
A citizen of Greenville has offered
a reward of a hundred dollars for
arrest of the person who ran over
and killed a five-year-old. negro girl
on Augusta street Saturday afternoon.
Several others came to The
News office yesterday and volunteered
to add to this fund because they want
this murder avenged. From many
parts cf the city come reports that;
automobiles constantly violate the j
speed law, jeopardizing the lives of
children and other passers-by. Life j
if? not safe on or near the public !
1
nigiiwitjrs.
Those who thus disregard the lives
of their fellow men should be dealt
with no less severely than those who j
fixe weapons into the crowd. An i
automobile is more deadly than a
pistol when in the hands of a reckless
person, an imbecile or a drunkard.
In the eyes of the law, its
wielders should haVe the same punishment.
Fines of a few dollars will
never put a stop to the practice.
,pl ...l-.x itu + ciiln t hp fit v

will bear testimony to the fact that
the practice of speeding is worse in
the county than in the city. But for
the open country there would be
many more accidents, and even as it
is. one rarely ever reads The News
without finding an acount of a smashup
in which people are injured. Not
only is life in pdril, but expensive
automobiles are consigned to. the
junk pile, and very often the party
at fault is not responsible in the
courts for the damage done.
The law-abiding people of'the city
and county should-demand that this
rpfkless disregard of the public
safety come to an end. It is impossible
for a sheriff and a few deputies
to police the county an-d there
should be rural officers continuously
on the job patrolling the roads. The
police, with the cooperation of the
citizens in reporting violators, will be
expected to clear the city streets of
those who cannot drive at a respectable
and careful rate of speed.
In the meanwhile, the driver who
killed the negrc child should be
searched after until caught and then
be given the maximum penalty for
the offense. For the safety of the
public, such, lawbreakers should not
be allowed to escape.
