EVENING, SEPTEMBER A , 1 906 PRICE: 5 CENTS a. JJjLiiij (9 E MJEORES Mr. C. C. Moore Heartily Recom mended for Position pf National Secretary by the Meeker burg Division. Reports on Various Topics. This County will Furnish Money to State Treasury to Defray Ex penses of Mr. Moore to the Meeting of Executive Commit tee at Hot Springs. An important meeting of the Meck lenburg division of the Southern Cot icn Growers' Association was called This morning at the county court house at 11:00 o"clock by President H. K. Reid. There was a largo representa tion from the several sub-divisions and the majority of the official delegates iiom the different townships answered to the calling of their names. Probably the most important action t;;ken was the recommendation of the name of Mr. C. C. Moore for the office of National secretary. The first reso lution to this effect was offered and read by Mr. W. S. Pharr and was as follows: "Resolved, that the executive com mittee of the Southern Cotton Grow- ms' Association which meets next week at Hot Springs, Ark., should elect a secretary in the place of Richard Cheatham. ' We, therefore, recommend the name of Mr. C. C. Moore, president of the .North Carolina division of the associa tion for that office. Mr. Moore's fit Eess for the position can not be ques tioned. As the chief executive of the State association lie has organized the cctton growers into a strong associa tion. North Carolina surrenders him reluctantly, but believing him to be the most wise, conservative and effi cient man for the place in the South for the office of our national secretary, w present the name of Mr. Moore." The resolution called for considera ble comment. Cant. S. B. Alexander arose and defended Mr. Cheatham, fa voring a decision alternation in the wording of the resolution. Mr. -Alexander said: "It seems to me that this is a great reflection upon Mr. Cheatham. He has held this official position for a number of years and has proved himself one of the strongest advocates of this asso ciation.'' He was the pricipal factor in driving out Holmes from his office in Washington and thereby rendered the farmers of this land an invaluable- ser vice. He has been found guilty of a slight wrong-doing, but is our duty to overlook the mistake he made especial-1;- since he has been so helpful and has taken such an active part in maintain ing the life of this organization. "Dealing in futures has been a legiti mate business in some circles ever f since the war, and very many promi nent men of this city and church peo ple, too, actually engage in it to this day. It seems to me that some change should be made in this resolution so as to avoid casting a reflection upon Mr. Cheatham, although I heartily en dorse Mr. Moore for any position with in the gift of the association." Capt. Alexander's argument met with general favor, except in the opinion of Col. Peg-Leg Graham, who sat' list ening intently until Capt. Alexander had. concluded and then yelled out: "Turn him down. Any man that gambles turn him down." The amendment w?.s offered to the original resolution and it was made to read thus in the opening purases: "In case the executive committee deems it advisable to elect a new sec retary we recommend the name of Mr. Moore,"etc. This was carried unani mously. The auestion of sending Mr. Moore as a delegate to the executive commit tee meeting was discussed at consid erable length. There was a prevailing opinion that Mr. Moore ought to be sent, but the consideration of finances was the stumbling-block. The state treasury is not in a condition to justi fy the sending of a North Carolina lepresentative, and some of the Meck lenburg farmers strongly advocate the i'iea of sending him as a representa tive from this county. Such an opinion was off-set by -the idea which after wards dominated that this county would be setting a dangerous prece dent in taking upon herself the respon sibility of commissioning a state officer and paying his expenses . The other counties might look to Mecklenburg in the future to continue bearing the blunt of all such expenses. The matter was settled happily. This county, it was agreed, will loan the money to the State in paying the expenses of Mr. Moore, which will 'be about $80.00, with the understanding that the local division shall be reimbursed whenever the State treasurer becomes able to pay the debt. A report was sent in from the sub divisions with two exceptions in regard to the present condition and the mini mum price which the farmers should demand for the cotton this fall, togeth ev with several. other statistics of.min 01 importance. The following report on conditions was officially made: Berryhill, 75 per cent,; Steel Creek; So. 1., .62; Steel .Creek. No, 2, .55. per COUNTY FARMERS 0 CUSSED cent; Charlotte, 68 per cent.; Sharon, 62 2-3; Sardis, 55; Providence Nol, 55; No. 2, 56; Clear Creek, 67; Pineville, o; jraD urcnard, No. 1, 70; Crab Or- ard, No. 2. 60; Long Creek,-65; Mal d Creek,. 57; Paw Creek, No. 1, .? Paw Creek, No. 2, 60; Hunters ale, 65. These reports give an aver age condition of the crop at the pres ent time at a fraction over 61 per cent. It was also reported in this connec tion that there were at present about 275 bales of old cotton on hand. There was a divergent opinion as to what the prevailing price should be. This matter was discussed throughout the county last light at the meetings of the sub-divisions with a view to making an official report to-day. Eight counties demanded a minimum price of 11 cents, three asked for 12, and four, 11 arid one 12. The following figures showing the work of the association in this county since its organization nearly two years ago will be interesting, showing espec ially the financial standing at present will be interesting: The membership now numbers about 90, there being 23 sub-divisions with an average membership of 40. Six hundred and twenty-nine of these have paid the tax of 25 cents. The bale levy has been paid on 6,334 bales. No bales ginned in the county within that time by the 75 ginners operating within its bounds, 31,974. The sub-divisions have paid into the county treasury since the organization $oS1.22, with a premium of $25 on the iloat during the 20th of May, making a total of $606.22. Berryhill has paid $44.20, Steel Creek. $46.65; Sharon and Sardis, $73.25; Providence $82.15; Clear Creek, $22.75; Crab Orchard, $82.45; Mallard Creek, $11.55; Dewese, $15.90; Lesleys, $24.97: Long Creek, $50.S0, Paw Creek, $20.30; Pineville, S13.50; Huntsville, $22.35; Charlotte, $47.50. President Reid plead in his opening remarks for a more thorough co-operation and united sttppoit. on the part ot all the farmers, saying that he was tempted to resign his position because it seemed that little interest was be ing manifested in the great movement, and that he would I resign, wero it not for the fear that the public mighv thinK he was running from the coliapse. Several spoke during the course of the convention upon this theme all urging a more decided sympathy in the worlf and a better conviction of what re mains for the association to accom plish in the future. The meeting was successful from all considerations and will likely be productive of much good, The declin ing price of cotton has aroused the farmers to the realization that much has yet to be done in the time to come, and it was ventured by some ardent ad vocates of the association at the meet ing to-day that whenever -the-price got as low as 6 and 7 cents, the farmers will all take more interest in the work, and become alive to the real situation.

Mr. Bryan said if it were true.as many Republicans had declar ed, that he had completely destroyed the Democratic party, there ought to be dozens of able Republicans . who would be available- as candidates as it would appear that almost any Republican coua win with the Dem ocratic, party wiped out. There would then be no necessity of giving Mr. Roosevelt what would be regarded by many as practically a third term. With such an easy victory for the Republicans ahead, which he asked should not somebody else be given a chance ? When asked what he thought of the criticism by Democrats of his idea of j: federal ownership of railroads, Mr. Bryan said he had never advocated anything that was not opposed in some quarters.' He was told that ' some of the Southern Democrats seem alarm ed lest jum crow cars should be eliminated by the adoption of his ideas of federal ownership. - Mr. Bryan in reply to this, said if the various states owned the line with in their borders local laws would con tinue to be enforced. He was asked if he meant that negroes and whites would be seperat ed if the state had a jim crow law, to which he replied that the state laws would naturally hold good on local lines. He did not care at this time to dis cuss the details of how the plan would affect carriage of whites and negroes on' the through lines under Federal control. He had noticed that' one citizen who did not give- his name was vefy . much worked up about the pos sible abolishment or the Jim crow cars but he never attempted to answer arguments oi men who did not give their names and that ae hoped to talk inr-! various parts of ' the country ' and deal with subject more completely ' than he could in s conversation.
