A COTTON PLANTER'S TRUST.
Members of the Exchange in New
York and Other Cities Worried
Over John T. Roddey's
New Scheme.
Members o&fee Ottoo Exhaogehere
and T?ot&r ?ries Are somewhat eli?
cited over tbe pr?tosi?oo to fee? a
" gigantic .trjet # all th?wrtwjl reisers
of the So*ik, which is b?ieg advocated
by Job* T. Roddey, a prominent broker
of this city. The exchanges are appos?
ed to the scheme. If such a trust is
formed the brokers erny that their boss*
ness will be rained, so fer es exercising
any control of the market ts concerned.
The trust would be able to practically
dictate the price of cotton in the open
market.
Mr. Roddey's plan ie for every cotton"
farmer? no matter how small, to become
a shareholder. When tbe erop is
gathered each member shall tarn into
the ?rast one hale oat of every five or
six bales raised by bim, or if the crop
is a small one, dien one bale ont of
every seven or eight shall go to the
trust. The amount of cottoo thus
placed io the hands of the trust shall be
held by the latter as a ?ort of balance
wheel to tbe market. The farmer will
market his crop, less the amount tam?
ed over to the trust, as best ?nits him.
The trust supply will be held nntil the
market price shall be high ?enough to
warrant its sale, and the return of a
good profit. Mr. Roddey feels sure
that the - adoption of his plan and the
formation of a trost as proposed, will at
once pat the prise of cottoo up to about
eight cents from the present price which
is abo ai five cents. This woald be an
immediate mod material benefit to the
farmer, who would also benefit by the
dividends which it ie expected will acer oe
to bim oughts trost shares
Mr. Roddey suggests a meeting io
New York at no ead? date of repre?
sentative? of ml! fermera' organisations
io the Sooth, to consider the matter.
He ba? received a number of letters
from prominent cotton plantera and
leading eitisens of Sooth Carolina, who
heartily indorse the plao. Wheo seen
at his office, No. 80 Broadway, Satur?
day. Mr Roddey said be expected
active steps towards organisation would
taken this week.
MEMPHIS, Tennessee.-The Federal
Court will to-morrow be asked by the
Tate brother, of Memphis, to enter
ctpoo an investigation of charges made
against the cottonseed oil mill-men of
the Sooth to the effect that they have
nearly all entered into a gigantic con?
spiracy to control the market for
cottonseed, anoT rtfcafe J_thiscombtfie
extends ail over the Southern cottoo
States.
The specific allegations made in the
public pria ts here refer only to the
eight Memphis mills bat they are the
largest io the world, aod the same own?
ers control mills io Louisiana, Arkan?
sas, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia
and tbe Carolinas.
Two years ago cottonseed was worth
?25 per ton ; last year it was {18,
while now the market price is poly $9.
The mills alleged to be io the combine
decline to parchase at any price except
from the producer. The seed sold st
the Memphis market alone daring the
year is worth ip the neighborhood of a
miliioo.-New York World.
It would require the geoios of a
dozeo Philadelphia lawyers to discover
how the result of the election st large
bears upon the silver question.
"Io this case agaiost my client for
stealing a pair of pants I move for a
nonsuit," said a lawyer* "On what
ground ?" asjced thc Judge. 44On the
ground that a whole sait can't be made
oat of a pair of pants," replied the law?
yer.
It is said that Seoator Dolph, of
of Oregon, never smiles. In the whole
coarse o* bis service ia the senate, no?
body bas ever seen his eye light op or
bis lip quiver. Why it is, oobody has
ever had the courage to ask.
Less than 100 years ago the Penn?
sylvania assembly passed this law:
"That in the future no member of the
house shall come barefoot or eat his
bread and cheese on the steps !"
Tho voters of New York struggled
under an immense load of ballots. It
took the printing establishment five
weeks, workiog overtime, to prepare
the 19,500,000 tickets that were
needed, and it required twelve big vaos
to baddie the boxes of packages wheo
they bad been prepared. Sixty-five
ballots were, prepared for every indivi?
dual rotor in New York city.
The women of New York who organ?
ized clubs and went into toe campaign
may be at a loss, for a few days,, now,
to find something to take tbe place of
their politico-social functions; w bien have
been set aside by the ending of the
campaign; It is said the women's
political clubs bad become "events" io
society hardly lesVuftabfe than evenings
at the grand opera,- and that at some
of the meetings held io the Madison
Square Uoncert Hall the show of fash?
ion and fine types of New York woman?
hood was as good as was ever seen at
the horse show.
W. A. McGuire, a weil known citizen of
McKay, Ohio, is of the opiniou that there is
nothing as good for children troubled with
colds or croup as Chamberlain's Cough Rem?
edy. He has used it in his family for seve?
ral years with the best results and always
keeps a bottle of it in the house. After hav?
ing la grippe he was himself troubled with
a severe cough. He used other remedies
without benefit and then concluded to try
the children's medicine and to his delight it
soon effected a permanent cure. 25 and 50
cent bottles for sale by Dr. A. J. China.
Cheap !
Cheaper!
I Cheapest !
Did yon eyer hear
of goods being sold
so cheap?
All goods except Corn and
Bacon are cheaper than ever
before.
Cotton is cheap because so much has
been made. Corn and ttaeoo are high
because so little has been made.
We are not io tending to deliver a lec?
ture on political economy, bot to le' yon
know that you eas boy things so cheap
from ns.
Believiog that money would be scarce,
we only boaght what we could seil
cheap. Don't imagine we mean to say
that oar stock is cheap, common goods,
but CHEAP FOR THE QUALITY.
Our Groceries will always be the best
that money can boy, but they will be
sold cheap. Thers is not a boase in the
South that carries a better class of
GROCERIES than
Do, but there are thousands who
charge more.
In DRY GOODS we have all you
want-cheap, medium and fine, but they
will be sold cheap.
If you arc a mao and want a Hat
come and see our Job Lots before buy?
ing. We bought drummers'samples at
fifty cents on the dollar is the reason
we sell them so cheap. The nobbiest
and latest styles as cheap as you could
buy a second hand one.
Come and pay us a social call if you
do not want to buy--but wbeu you see
how cheap we can sell goods you will
buy any way. It will pay you to buy
things you don't want, they are so
cheap.
