Ross Building
Atlanta, Ga., October 26.—President
J. A, Taylor, of the Nashville Ginners
Association has sent out a circular to
j the members of the Association urg
ing them to attend the Cotton Con
ference to be held in Memphis, Novem
ber 10-31-12, 1908. In this circular Mr.
Taylor says: "While reports indicate
heavy ginning up to the 18th, it is
sogfar below the bog crop of 1904 as
to put to flight all reports of a "bump
er crop.' He advises holding for high
er prices, and says—trade conditions
are improving and by the first of the
new year things will be back to nor
mal.''
j Speaking of the Cotton Conference,
Mr. Taylor says: "On November 10
| 11-12th, 3908, there will be a great
Cotton Conference in Memphis, Tenn.,
j composed of planters, ginners, bank
; ers and merchants from all over the
I country. This meeting is for the pur
pose of taking some steps to get bet
ter prices for the balance of our cotton
I and to take some measures to stop
the posting of gins by so-called "night
riders." I urge that you all attend this
meeting, as it is very important that
something be done at once or this
movement may get to be as bad as it
] has been in Western Kentucky and the
j tobacco section.
| Very low rates will be on during
this meeting and you all can afford to
I attend and get as many of your cus
tomers to come as possible, as it
means higher prices for cotton,
j This is not a meeting of any one
organization but all organizations will
be benefited, as well as bankers, mer
| chants and manufacturers. Prosperi
| ty depends on getting better prices
j for cotton. Insist on your customers
coming and come yourself.
| Mr. .1. S. Warren, Secretary of the
[ Business Men's Club of Memphis, has
j written Mr. Harvie Jordan, of At
j ianta, that the club is now working
to get reduced rates to Memphis.

The Draughon Institution Wants
$20,000 From Harris' Bus
iness University.
Jackson, October 26.—A sensational
j damage suit for $20,000 has been tiled
j in the Hinds county circuit court by
j Draughan's Practical Rusiness College
j against the Harris Business Univers
| ity and Nathaniel J. Harris, president,
j The basis of the suit is the circula
1 lion of alleged libelous advertising
I matter by Prof. Harris, in which the
I Draughan chain of business colleges
j were severely attacked, and in which
many of the statements, according to
| the declaration of the plaintiff,
] false and were "inspired by the devil."
j There were three circulars alleged to
| have been distributed, to the great
1 detriment of the Draughan colleges,
j and copies of each were attached to*
the declaration and made part of It.
| The circulars deal to some extent
j with the personal character of the
j president of the Draughan colleges and
j bis business methods, alleging that
j i heir claims as to the character of the
| work they do and the number of stu
dents enrolled are extravagant and un
true. One of them contains what pur
ports to be a letter from a former
student of both institutions, in which
he is quoted as recommending the
Harris Business University to the dis
credit of the Draughan college, and
following this is a letter from another
party certifying to the character of the
writer of the letter. The declaration
charges that both these persons are
fictitious.
Altogether the declaration is a salty
one, but not more so, perhaps, than
the circulars upon which they are
based.
The case will come up for trial at
the March term of circuit court.
