10 COTTON MEN
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS FUND
IS AVAILABLE.
TO HELP THE PARMER
New York Financial Institutions Are
Ready to Advance $25 per Bale
on Cotton Unsold To Hold
For Better Price
New York.—New York bankers
who have been conferring here for
the last few days with representatives
of the governors’ conference and the
Southern Cotton congress announced
that they had raised a fund of $50,-
000,000 to be placed immediately In
the cotton belt states for the purpose
of bundling the cotton crop of 1911 and
enabling growers to participate In
any raise In the market.
The negotiations were conducted
on behalf of the south by Governor
O’Neal of Alabama, Senator Bailey
of Texas, who has been advising his
colleagues as to the legal aspects of
the proposition; E. J. Watson, presi-
dent Permanent. Southern Cotton
congress and commissioner of agricul-
ture of Soulh Carolina, and Clarence
Ousley of Fort Worth, Tex., repre-
senting the governor of his state.
The bankers who will furnish the
fund according to the statement, are
headed by Colonel Robert M. Thomp-
son of the brokerage firm of S. H. Pell
& Company of this city. The financial
support of several of the strongest
banks in New York has been given to
the plan, the statement continues.
The plan proposed to advance the
growers $25 per bale on their cotton,
based on the market value at the time
or the loan. No interest will be paid
upon the loan, the only charge being
$1 a bale, which Is regarded as a legit-
imate minimum charge for expense of
grading and handling. The cotton is
not held qr taken from the channels
of trade, but is placed at the best ad
vantage. The grower is given the
right to designate the day of sale
prior to January 1, 1913, and will par-
ticipate in any advance In price to the
extent of three-fourths of the rise of
the market.
The details of the plan are yet to
be worked out. It has been decided,
however, to place the fund through
state committees named by the gov-
ernor or commissioner of agriculture
of a state, and these committees shall
be empowered to sell when cotton
reaches 12 cents and compelled to sell
when it reaches 13 cents, regardless
of advice from the growers. Provi
sion against any violation of the Sher-
man anti-trust law is contained, the
promoters believe, in a clause empow-
ering each committee to name the day
of sale In event the market climbs
higher.
Everything depends upon accept-
ance of the plan by the Individual
farmer, In connection with his pledge
to reduce acreage the coming year.

James M. Lynch
Atlanta, Ga.—William Randolph
Hearst was branded as an enemy of
organized labor in the convention of
the American Federation of Ln,bor to-
day by Charles H. Moyer, of the West-
ern Federation of Miners.
Against this attack, James M.
Lynch, president of the International
Typographical Union, arose to the de-
fense of Mr. Hearst, declaring that he
was the largest employer of union la-
bor on this continent outside of the
United States government and that
he should not be condemned, even In-
fercntially, without an investigation
of charges made against him.
GENERAL REYES ARRESTED
BY GOVERNMENT OFFICER
Sir Walter Raleigh, Under Sentence
of Death, Failed to Win Pardon
by Last Voyage.
Fate and justice worked some pe-
culiar pranks In the olden days. Sir
Walter Raleigh, with the death sen-
tence hanging over him for 18 years,
falling in his final voyage of discovery,
returned to England and went cheer-
fully to the block. He left the Tower
without the royal pardon In 1615. The
adventurous but still condemned man
had received permission to make an-
other voyage to South America. If he
should be successful in the outcome of
his venture Raleigh knew the king's
mercy would be granted him. But
this last expedition, undertaken with
such a vital Interest at stake for Ra-
leigh, was unfortunate In all Its re-
spects. At San Tomas, on the Cay
enne river in Guiana, his men made a
hostile attack upon a Spanish settle-
ment. As England was then at peace
with Spain, this act of war against
the people of a friendly nation was a
most grievous offense against the
king. On October 29, 1618, he suffered
death by the ax. Having fingered the
edge, he returned it and said, smiling
to the sheriff: "This is a sharp medi-
cine, but It Is a sound cure for all dis-
eases.”

Instructed in the Care of
the Youngster
New York—To teach society girls
how to care for babies is the novel
work undertaken by Miss Mary L.
Read, who has opened a school of
mothercraft in New York.
“The first six years of life are the
most important to the race and pos-

the mortality is greatest. Girls have
married without knowledge of the re-
sponsibility of bringing human beings
into the world. They have left the
care of their babies to servants.”
There will be a nursery at the
school. Either young, inexperienced
mothers or girls who are to be mar
ried will have the opportunity of tak-
ing care of real live habies. The worn
