S> LLIKfc CCETON. U" p SOUTHERN COI A ON ASSOCIATION f? TOSKOUHF. V Oil;' IM Eli * \j And Icititu^e Were kouses, Which r Will Yneble Every ttau to jfl old h i6 Cotton. * u Mr. lv D Smith, pr< sldent Of the i South (Jar liu.i CoUoa rJr0w>rK' Avho- v elation, thiols the recent Btrmlig- (J ham Cjnv nt'.on was the host yet ^ held ty the Southern Cottor Asuocia- t tion. Intend, he Is enthusiasticover 1 the w^rk tcc aaplished and the pUns [ outlined there, which ho regards as of the greatest ixportanoo. j "O.io of the greatest drawbaoks un- ' der whloh the organization has been ' working," he says, "was t'at under ourprcsout plan the mau outside of , the organization really got more hoi e- 1 tit from the fiTortaand saorlflov) of the mou Inside than tho men inside got themselves. We also recoyr'/.o that 1 the Gotten that, hurt tho market wn, 1 the cotton encumbered wlih debt, which hpd to be sold regardless of what the pr ce w?o, to meet debt that was upon It. Now, the questloa was how could we devise a plan by which we could c tier special Inducements tc the owners and yrowers of cotton to join the organization, and to show how It would be of personal benefit to him rather lhan be outside. Next, how to formulate a practical business plin by which the poor fellow who owed money against his cotton, and was forced to re.Vze on It, to meet hi* obligation, oould be helped by our organization to hold without damage to himself, and receive the benefits of the organization. "Both of these matters weio given the most earnest attention, and wo believe that we have found the soluMouofeaoh. lu the firBt place, we have ordered a properly constituted committee to seouro at once our charter, ma'lug us a legal organization; and under this charter, we waut every ccunty In the c -tton growing states to meet and organize their holding companies; open bcotes of subscription :or the purpose of raising, If possible, * at least, $5 per bale on all cotton grown In that county; to elect a j hoard of directors and president, who ( fch&U select some man, either from * among their number or otherwise, 1 who shall become the buying and sell- ' log agent fcr that organization, who T thall negotiate all leans; who shall 1 have supervision of all ware housing, . and to whom can be given the power of attorney to dlBpose of the cotton ' placed under his supervision. In other ' words, ho Is to become the agent of that division to receive cotton, to su- : per vise the buying of vrbat cotton the 1 organization buys, to procure adequate ' ware houue room and, with the na- 1 ttonal c Moors and local oMoers of slm- ' liar county divisions throughout the 1 South to negotiate loans on whatever 1 cotton is held by him upon which loans are requested. '"Under this p'an a member of the Southern Cotton Association can carry his cotton to the local company, turn it over tqto their hands, receive a certificate of ownership, and givs to this company the power to soil that cottoD, provided it is not sold before a price agreed upon by the national organization. This price, if enough counties In the South enter luto It, Bhsll be made not to the grower. If, for Instance, the price agreed upon Is lOo a pound, middling, and I carry my ootton to my local organization and they ware house it, Insure It, and siore it, a price will be fixed upon that ootton sufficiently above the 10 osnta to pay ror the Insurance and storage and the expenses attached? such as p*'tries of cfflC3*/6, inUrcit on money, i to?and the buyer pays this "Tboia was an enthusiastic adoption of t'lU pi&n, and a careful study of it will reveal the force of It. We were aasur-id that there *as lient capital, both at homsand elsewhere, to finance all the cotton that needed financing, provided we concentrate It in snob form as to make it available /or financing. J gain these local companics will report dally or weekly to the State office how many bales, thp grades, had whatever information in necessary, and the mills ann the ouy era, when they de*ir<i ootton, can come to cur State cffioials, place their order fo the xuimoer of bales and grades thai they want, and these orders will bu piaoeri with our local ware house, ai d the ootton will be deliver ed to the purchaser dlreotby us. "This will eltmicate the present great army or looal buyers, brokers and mill m?n and put us In a position to tlx and maintain a stable price, and enable the mills to pltsoe orders with those wh) have the actual stuff, and have it in suoh shape and in suoh legal statu< that they can plica thrlr orders for twelve months ahead for the actui.l out ton In our ware housob. "Mill mm tell me?and I have no right to doubt their word? that they would welcome Buoh a plan ss the above. Instead of having to go to brokers and speculators and plaoe their orders, as they do now, and be dependent upon the rise and fall of the market, as oontrolled by these speculators, for their ootton, they would rather oome and buy their ootton direct from the man who owns It and let our organization store It and Insure it and oharge interest on it, out have a fixed carrying oharge for eaoh month. They would not then be at the meroy of the present system, under which they never know one day what their next day's put chase is going to oost them. I have been assured and have no reason to doubt it? that mills making a oertaln quality of co3b to day oould pay much higher rlce? than they are wo v paving aud lso make money. Hut In vie** of the tot, that they Lave no guarantee (Lai cotton will do from day to da> i ( rder to meet the coming jucy of ne market, thev are foictu to buy ??tr cotton as oheap.y as possible in rd< r to havj ns large a luaigin as ot?dble to meet the Wolont fluctua tons of the trade. This plan will en* .tile the poor man to get the same ate of lnier"S,i as the. well-to do; to et the name ware house facilities, to ret the same price as the b*nt posted w:d will also furclsh hi diclent capita <o take up what cotton la fl;atiDg on j he mar set from day to day at a prlci ?.Ha than the minimum price set by ibe A asoslat'iOD.'' As early as possible pamphlets will rie printed setting for*h the details more pe> feotly ai. a particularly than iMv artio!e ins doue, aud eaoh county will be asked to perfect Its organlza Jen as ?oon as p< asble, ho as to get ready for the balance jf this crop, If possible, aod certainly to be in a post lien for next yoar's crop. In a word, the plan prr poi?*s that the maker of the cotton shall be the la'it and tinal reller of the cotton, and that the Vulvar of the cotton, after a price has been tixod, shall pay the expennea )naurrod In carrying out from mouth to month this organization. This 1b orbing more nor lass than the slmpllaw of business observed now in the *ale of every article of commerce save Button. The man who bu.?B a pair of noes, pays the freight, pays tbeolerk mire, pays the insurance on the store, pays the expenses of the business plus the dividend of the owner. The roan who buys a pound cf cotton, deducts the freight, deduots the clerk hire, leduots the Incidental expenses and makes the man who sells it bear all the expenses of handling it. So that iho cotton growing to day, under our present systew, pays the expense 3)118 on everything he buys, aB well as )n everything he aclls, This just limply reverses that order, and makes ilm only pay the expenses of what he Duy8 and foroes the other man to pay ihe expenses of what he buys from us. There is net a single mill man, lo whom I have outlined the plan, but vh&t has agreed that It is the proper principle, and that they welcome the ibove, and will co operate with us in teeing It established. Hoke Smith, governor-elect of Georgia, Hoy ward, of South Carolina, and Jomer, of Alabama, were present and rave the association their endorse nent. Bankers, merchants, manufacturers, &h well as northern capitalists were also present pledging their aid ana support. The fight against the New York Exchange was endorsed enthusiastically, and as the result, a few days ago the grade committee of the New York Exohange modified their grading, and now require splnnable cotton as tenders on contracts. Also they have widened the difference between spots and futures; proving that the one Is purely a wambling scheme and any old price will do for tissue paper chalk, but when thev promise to de liver the spot artlole they have got to quote a price in keeping with the backbone of the Southern farmer, which Is from 10-1 to 111 cents. This Is the result of the work of the Southern Cotton Association. We begin a new year with more wisdom, with more exnerlenca, with more determination, with brighter hopes, and a more assured future for our or ganizafcion than ever beforo. All the old officers of the National Association, says the secretary, were reelected. Quite a considerate amount of mouey was raised for the liquidation of past Indebtedness; and If the counties will but rally to the support of the organization sufficiently to finance it from now on, no man can calculate what may be accomplished In the next twelve months. We are asking every legislature to pass a law requiring the glnners In the no vtia) states that ruse c.t.oi, to t*ko out a small licence, and w require them under law to report *o the stab* government under their signature, trie total number of baies ginned by them up to each dato reported. Also a committee was appointed to go to Washington and to urge upon the national congress a bbl requiring the secretary of agriculture to publish fcr esohaftibothe name, occupation and po?tcffi:e of each reporter from thai statu who reports on aorevsge and on dltlon of crops from month to month.

HOUm* M?T oj\ F1KK DASTAItDIjY ATTEMPT AT INUKNUIAHY1BM AT HPhlNQFIELD Pome Fiend / ttempts to Burn Town the fiesider ce oi Marshal Holloway. Tuesday morning at II r/olock the handsome new two story dwelling cf Mr. L. E. Phillips at Springfield together with one entire oontsnts was burned It ii thought the house was set oil Arc by some llsud. Town Marshal Henry W. Holloway, who wos seriously wounded by Wm. L. Fleming In an attempt to arre?t Fleming at Springfield January 15, with his wife and little children, occupied rooms on the top floor, and it looks like Rome midnight assassin was attempting to burn him as he lay, as It were, chained to his had. Those who first saw the lire athrm that the dwelling was saturated with keroseno oil and the oil was yet burning on the ground and base of the chimney when they got to the tire. There Is a grim determination on the part of tho oU.'/ens that the perpetrators shall bo brought to speedy justice. Fortunately the fire, which had been lhrhted with Ir^rrspno Hi?. ouverci In time and extinguished, and the wounled officer was taken to Columbia. The following statement from J. W. Jumper, intendant of the town, caused Uie governor to olTor a reward for the i icendlary. "I beg to lnform you that there was a fire at Springfield Tuesday morning at 3 o'c'ock which destroyed the house of L. E. Phillips. It is thought by everybody that the aob was lnoendiarlsm. I also brg to Inform you that the barn of L. B. Fulmar has also been burned, uud I think that was an aot of incendiarism. The dispensary and two stores were burned the 21st of last Kovember, and I respectfully ask your excellency to offer a suitable reward for tlieBO burnings." It will be remembered that the shooting affray whloh resulted in the serious wounding of three persons took place when Marshall Ilolloway arrest ed Fleming?who is an itinerant photographer traveling out of Brooklyn? and a companion with whom he had become intoxicated. Fleming shot the marshal and a citizen deputized to as slst him and was himself shot In the thigh by tho marshal, as the lattor was falling. After the shooting, whioh Fleming says took plaoe at a time when he was so drunk as to be uucon3Cious of his actions, Fleming was placed In tho Orangeburg oounty jail, at Orangeburg. lie appealed through a friend to Secretary H. S. Fox, of Oongaree aerie Fraternal Ordor of Eagles, aoklng for assistance and representing himself as a member of the Brooklyn aorie. Mr. Fox communicated with the Brooklyn aerie and upon receipt of Instructions from there to do everything in his power for Fleming, retained an attorney, Mr. W. Boyd Evans, and through him secured a court order for Fleming's removal to the State Hos pital for tho Insane, on the ground that the Orangeburg jail was no piece 'or a man t?o grievously hurt. habsequeotlv Flomlng was again no zed. th.J tlm? to the hospital of ihd state penitentiary, because trie insane asylum proved ton crowded co afford facilities for Adequate treatment. n? is now at the penitentiary hospital, and making a good recovery. It Is said that if the Brooklyn Eagles do not drop the case, application will oe m*d9 for ad order admitting Fleming to ball as s on as he s'"all have become strong enough to leave the nOPpttal Marshal Hollo wav is thoroughly in iiipnaut ovur the attempt to desli y his heme this irornlag, ani lee a sure that toe irc9X*dlaX7 m?rinfc ti a lUme* to nub bis w%ihl? family, <u ?*eu a? tho in wnlob they were asleep, uusuapeoiliv. He do1 ule i most positively statemehts from ' Firming In the press that he bad ' often taken drinks with Fleming and ' 1 bat Flea lr g had begun carrying I pistol at Mb suggestion. ) William Welsh, a hungry tramp broke into an wnnnnuniorl rlwnlHnor ir r Greenville Ohio, and stole five pound! * of corned beef. .Judge Allread a daj 5 or two ago sentenced him to the pen itentiary for life. Welsh said he en J tered the house knowing it to be un 5 occupied and because he was nearl; [ famished. Gut his excuse "didn't go' 9 with the law. If he wanted to stea . he made the mistake of not becomini a "highway iinancler," when he woul< have been practically immune from ! 1 prison sentence. i* . I Wk are a nation of invincible optin ists. Earthquakes, ?Vcs, cyclones an< railroad and marine disasters canno * shake our conviction that thing * might be very much worse, and tha j* all will be well one; day*,;that even 1 a all is never well, at least we shall es ? cape the storm. Perhaps this Is i good frame of mind to cultivate. PASS UOLDKJtS. A 6KNSATION SPKUNCi IN IHK HOUSE. F1UOAY. Mr. Carson Introduces a Bill to Find Out Who Carries Kailroad Passes. On last Friday Mr. L. A. Carson introduced the following resolution in the House: "Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurrlniz, That a committee of six be ap pointed, (three of whom shall be appointed ny the House and three by tbe Senatt) to k quire *n1 report ba^k the names of ail members of the House and Senate, who are employed by the railroads In this State In any capacity; and the names of all members who use or have free transportation for themselves or their families, either in puymuit of services or otherwise, and uhat the si id committee proceed further to not.ke the investigation heroin required." Wnen tbe Houie met Friday oltfht Mr. Harley moved to strikeout t'ae enacting v?ords of the reso'utlon. Mr. D'.xcn favored the resolution lu a very vigorous speech. f * * ? nar. uiriey sa\a that vl'en ho waw elected to the House he considered tt# an honor, but he toot this resolutir a to indicate that to ho a member was a dishonor. He bad never spoken to curry favor with his home people or any other section. lie was not an attorney for any railroad and did not have a pass, but he objected to any such resolution, which seemed to question the honesty and integrity of the members. If the lawyers who represent rsdreads tcoept. pauses It 1b a business proposition. By this rcso lution the lawyers are exenapV hut the oharacter and Integrity of the others arc questioned. It Is a criminal offence to accept a pass whlie a legislator, and this resolution plaoes the members under sueplolon of belug criminals. Mr. Verner said ho disagreed with Mr. Barley. If any one thinks any one has a past tho best way is to iind it out. He had been on the railway committee for six years and in that time had voted for only two railroad bills, but If auy one thought he had a pass he wanted them to find out tho truth. Mr. Hemphill said he oooupled a peculiar position. He bad in the past represented the Southern Railway, but be belonged to the State of South Carolina and not to the railroad, and do naa triea to do noaeit. This resolution impugns the honesty of every member. Ho thought the roll should be called and let every man answer whether he was guilty or not. He didn't give a continental damn, bo far as he was concerned, but be had a contempt for the little nincompoops who think men with more brains than they have can be bought. He had never conocaled his connection with the Southern railway, but he had been fair and honest on every question. Mr. Carson, the author of the rosolutlon, said ho had no 111 feeling against any one in introducing the resolution. There was talk of graft. Oh all sides you hear of graft In this otlloe and that ctlioe. it is agalnBt the law for legislators to rids on passes. He had nothing to say against any railroad lawyer who received a pass as part of his pay. He accorded him honesty, but the man not employed by a railroad, whether lawyer, merchant, or anything elso, was not houest if ho mde on a pass. He had not expected the resolution to be discussed. There was no use to discuss It. Mr. Nichols said: "Mr. Carson, have you any information on which to base this resolution?" Mr. Carson. "No, sir; T have been thin ng about this for several years. 1 wa ... lo see if all the graft is iu the Stain dispensary; that there is so much talk about," Mr. Nichols: "Don't you think if any man 1b bought with a pass he will lie about It?" Mr. Carson: "No, sir; I wouldn't dolt, and 1 don't believe you would do It?" A vote was then called for whloh vAai.lfA.l at.- -J - - - iclumc i iu tuts ?uoo6ion or rile resolution by si vote of 68 ayes to 2o nays. Why Newspapers Dan. We presume that some people think newspaper men are persistent dunucrs. Let a farmer plaoe himself In a bimUar position and see if he would 1 not (lo she same. Suppose that he , ralsts a thousand bushals of corn, and his neighbor should oorre and buy, and the price was one dollar or less, , and says, "I will pay the amount in a tew da s." As the farmer does not want to bs small about the matter, he siys, "All right." Another oomes the srvu.e way, and another, until the , whole thousand bushels of oorn is t trusted to a thousand different people } and no one of the different parsons conoarns himself about It, for it is a small amount thay owe the farmei end of course that will not hain *nv * He does not realize that the farmei " has Frittered away his entire crop ol Y com, and that Its value is due In a ' thousand little driblets, and that he ,1 is seriously embarrassed In his busl r ness, because his debtors treat It as i 1 little matter. But If all would paj him promptly, which they oould at well as not, It would be a large sum to the farmer and enable blm to oarrj i on his business without difficulty. 1 At this time It seem9 that buckel shops In South Carolina will soon lx 8 things of the past. Numbers of bllli t have been introduced In both house: f looking to their destruction, and 1: i- the opponents get together on a bll a they will go as they aid In Georgli and North Carolina.

The several fires that have recently occurred ai Springfield point in a measure to the work of an Incendiary and iu the destruction of the property of Mr. PntlKpu ahore can he no doubt luiat the fire was started by a fiendish hand.
