In the way of expeditious registration,
that only about 10,000 negro voters
have been able to secure registration

Congressman Q. W. Murray and Revs.
R. f. Hart and W. D. Chappelle, the
two latter representing the colored
preachers ministerial union, appeared
at the executive office and presented to
Governor Evans a paper stating that
on account of the law 100,000 of
their colcr had desired, but had
been unable to register and ask
ing in the name of these “wronged
and injured persons’’ that he convene

Washington, March The disap
pearance of eighteen Senators will
make an entire change in the appear
ance on the aenate floor when that body
meets again. Instead of the majority
of the desks being on the democratic
side they now appear on the republican
side and in this connection it is inter
esting to know that at the request of
Senator Marion Butler, of North Caro
lina, bis district has been placed on the
republican side. Mr. Bntler is a pop
ulist elected by a fusionist legislature
that at the same time gave the short
term to Mr. Pritchard, republican. The
fact that Mr. Bntler has asked to be
seated on the republican side is taken
as an indication that he will act with
the republicans in matters pertaining
to organization and such other ques
tions as are not inconsistent with bis
views on pecnlia subjects. Senator
Ransom, whom he succeeds, prophe
sied that Mr. Bntler would at all times
be found acting in harmony with the
party in the senate that waa antagon
istic to the democrats.

States District Judge Brawley yester

ont of the seizure by the State consta

Atlanta. March 15 —Hon. Hector D.
Lane, commissioner of agriculture of
Alabama and president of the Ameri
can Cotton Growers Protective associa
tion addresses today a communication
to the cotton growers of the south in
which he warns them against what he
calls the stragetic movement being
made by cotton manipulators to delude
them into the suicidal act of planting
again a large crop of cotton.
He says that uneasiness has been felt
in Liverpool for some time concerning
a probably decreased acreage and had
this menace not existed cotton would
have been even lower than it has been,
and now as the end of the season is at
hand and the staple is substantially ont
of the hands of the farmer, these gen
tlemen whohave represented the “bear’’
element so many months while cotton
was moving in large volumes, now re
sort to this ruse of running values up
simply as a device to induce farmers to
plant more cotton than intended.
He warns the farmers that the rise
in cotton of the last few days is fleti-
cions and that it is the product of a
conspiracv to systematically rob the
producer of his legitimate gains
"Let the People Beware "
Continuing he says: “Let the peo
ple beware. It is a bait to catch those
who will bite. There is no legitimate
reason shown for this sudden rise in
cotton values. The production has ex
ceeded the most sanguine expectations;
Russia has placed s virtually prohibi
tive duty on American cotton, so we
can no longer sell her 500,000 bales”
He says that those who are actually
engaged in the work of producing cot
ton are not earning twelve cents a day
for their labor the year round “and
what is to be the fate of this
man when his cotton goes down one

date they are only *18,000, thus show-
ing a remarkable failing off in ferti
liser sales this season.

we had a most phenotninal season for
picking onr crop this last season and
its classification was higher than ever
known. Hardly any grading less than

than five cents.”
“I invoke," he concludes, “the most
earnest attention of cotton growers to
this nefarious scheme and address yon
this letter as the caveat that you may
not be deluded by this wolf in sheep's
clothing, or in other words, this ‘bear’
in 'bull's' clothing.”
