The North Carolina Cotton Growers Convention had a five hours session last night, and it wa. really considerable time before it got down to business. It has chosen a good delegation to the Southern Cotton Convention at New Orleans, this being composed of John S. Cunningham, W. C. Heath, James H. Pou, C. C Spar row, J. Y. Hamrick, M. S. Griffith, J. J Mott, R. W. Livermore, and H. C Dockery, all of the these except Col. Cunningham being large planters, Mr. Deckery leading in the vote for com mitteemen. The election of Mr. C. C. Moore of Mecklenburg was by no means unexpected, ' his position in the organization having been very promi nent; and valuable during all the past year. Col. Cunningham had ' served during his year's tenure of office with nis usual zeai ana naa travelled on practically all the cotton-growing coun ties. The matter which prolonged the session of the association was the quea tion of the management but the final agreement that this should be really in the hands of an executive committee of five members settled the' question very well indeed. ,- The first arrange ment ; made was for $2,500 sal ary, for the president and $600 for the secretary-treasurer, then the latter salary as increased to a salary of $1,000 and then all this was done away with and the matter of salaries as well as the general management left to the exec utive committee which is given plenary power and which is regarded, as ; being lir oest solution of any and all d:lhcul- ties which have arisen or may arise.
