Mr, Hoey spoke for a fuil hour
n support of the ' Derilocratic
party, an elaboration on the ben
eficence of the Wilson adminis
trator and a discussion' of the
war and cotton situation. Besides
showing'that he was well pleased
with the poraonnell and policy
of tbe administration he enjoyed
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan on their policy of )' Watch
ful Waiting" and .congratulated
the people of it's republic thai
we have kept out of war ; when
it 'looked like, war was almost

The frrmers will petition Gov.
ernor Craig for a special w-snlou
of the. Legislature which will be
elected next rweck to meet iin
mediatly for the purpose of con
sidering the cotton situation..
They will ask for a law provid
ing -for the curtailment of the
cotton crop of 1015 and any oilier
legislation that may appear fea
sible toward relieving the pres
ent situation. , ,'.
It seems that the last spark of
hope of securing money through
tbe local bonds on cotton 'has
vanished and the market Is prac
ticaily (lead. . , . . '
In the meeting Satqrday much
interest was shown, however, the
attendance was not so great as
ut first. Mr? J. K. Goforth told
onp of, Governor Vance's', aneo
dotes,which pretty well explains
the predicament of the farmer in
regard to his cotton. ' His story
was of a man who had a gentle
man cow by the tail and travel
ing at high speed. His -neighbor'
asked him bow; he- was. getting
along. His reply "meant th,at it
tva bad toliold on and worse to
turn loose. .'. ;;'; .. , ,.','
The petition to the Governor
is being circulated this week and
will likely be forward to him next
