Pime? Hold Meetiaf.
About 75 of the prominent
planters of this community assembled
in the Masonic hall Saturday
afternoon to discuss the
cotton situation. S. H. Epps
presided and theobiect of the
meeting was stated by Col.
Thomas B. Spratt yA full and
free discussion followed in which
there were speeches by Dr. T. S.
Kirkpatrick. W. M. White, D. O.
Potts, Karl Faris, J. P. Crowder,
and J. M. Harris.
A resolution proposed by Dr.
T. S. Kirkpatrick in which it
was stated that the farmers of
this community were in thorough
sympathy with the work of the
county and State cotton associations
and would support
their action was unanimously
adopted by a rising vote. The
chairmaa appointed a committee
composed of Dr. T. S. Kirkpatrick,
D. O. Potts and Colonel
Spratt with instructions to ascertain
full details as to the
action of^ the State and county
associations and report at a meeting
which is to be held next

Those present agreed by a rising
vote to be present at the meeting

Will Raise Pastors' Salaries.
Many Methodist ministers in
every Southern and Western
State who have been trying to
exist on infinitessimal incomes
during the past few years, will
have tneir salaries raised within
the next few months. This very
practical and definite step is to
be taken by the M. E. Church,
South, following the financial
drive of that denomination next
month. The drive, which has
$30,000,000 as its goal, has been
undertaken with a view to putting
the work of the church on a
business basis, the raising of the
salaries of their underpaid pastors
being considered one of the
matters or first importance.
Extracts Sold on Certificate.
Among the most far reaching
pieces of legislation enacted at
the last session of the general
assembly was the bill to prevent
the sale of extracts to be used
as beverages. Provisions of the
measure are that purchases of
of these extracts are to be made
by certificate. The first violation
is punishable by a fine of
not less than $100 nor more than
$500 or imprisonment for not less
than three months nor more than
one year, in the discretion of the
court. ^Subsequent violations are
punishable by imprisonment,
without the alternative of a fine
of not less than one year nor
more than two years. Druggists
violating the act may have their
license revoked by the State
board of pharmaceutical examiners
for a period of two years.
