The popple of Syria and Tfflls make their streams do things that Americans do not seem to have )earned the secret of persuading the water courses of this country to perform. At Tiflls the natives have learned how to utilize the power of the current of the river Kur without building dams. What they have accomplished possibly might be done by an Ameri can farmer living on fhe banks of s rapidly moving stream and desiring a small, cheap power.- The Caucasians build goats ou the surface, of the river. Into them are set water wheels. The whole affair is fastened to the bank in such a way that it will rise and fall With any change in the level of the surface of the river,: so that the power la about constant ail tho time. In Hama, the ancient “entering in of Hamath,” the Syrians have accomplish ed a feat that makes one think of lift ing oneself over a fence by tugging at one’s bootstraps. They have harnessed the histpric OronteS, or Nahr el Asi, as the Syrians call it, into the work of lifting itself many feet toward the ze nith and trained it thus to water their fruitful warden* aud orchards,.

Tomorrow the Southern Cotton Asso ciation is to hold a conference with the national ppinners, formerly the Fall River spinnera, and the European spin- net sand see if terms cannot be made by* which the South, which grows the cotton, cannot control the output, the disposition of it and the price. “We can do it,” says E. D. Smith, “or else let the world go naked.” In talking to a number of newspaper men who called upon him tonight at the New Willard, Mr Smith outlined the main object of the conference, talking in his usually enthusiastic manner about the South’s great staple and the fact that the Southern cotton growers are In a position to dictate. He gave the news paper men to understand that it is not the “Southern Cotton Growers’ associa tion” of which he is financial agent and general manager but the Southern Cot ton association. “By gad,” he sayw,” it does not consist of only the growers. Everybody in the South, merchants, manufacturers, car penters, bricklayers, cooks, wither women, eve>ybody else, is interested iif cotton. Cotton is our curdency. It is not a perishable crop like com or wheat. So it is the cotton association ” with a strong emphasis on the cotton. Ha/vie Jordan, Robert Cheatham and J E Ellerbe will address the meeting to- morrow, as will also Mr Smith as repre sentatives of the cotton association in the South. The spinners are here, some of them, others will come In tonight. Among these are: Lewis W Parker and F H Hyatt of Colombia. The meetings will continne through tomorrow and Wednesday.
