The Important Notice. SCOTTSBORO, THURSDAY, JANUARY Williams Pleads for Waco Plan, Progressive Waco, Tex, Jan. Hon. Eugene Williams, author of what is known as the Waco plan, has issued following letter: To the Farmers, Merchants and Bankers of the Cotton States and Territories: In 1878 Josh Billings, at the close of his Waco lecture, humorously stated: "I have talked for an hour and a half, and if I have not struck oil I have been boring at the wroug place or been boring with a damn dull anger." For more than a year I have devoted my best thought, time and labor for a singlo purpose; that is, to bring about concert of action for the establishment of a systam of cotton warehousing. Whether I have struck oil or been boring at the wrong place or with a dull auger should be determined at the New Orleans cotton convention January 24, 25 and 26, 1905.0 Concert of action seems assured at this convention.
It is called by Hon. Harvie Jordan, of Monticello president of the Southern Cotton Growers' association. The actual growers of cotton will constitute the membership of the New Orleans convention. Merchants from all the cotton states and territories have been invited to attend a conference of merchants to meet on January 25 at the St. Charles hotel, New Orleans, at 11 o' clock, being the second day of the convention.
A like conference of bankers to meet at the St. Charles hotel at the same time is being called by the presidents of the state and territories. The three bodies of business men who act together in producing the cotton crop will be called on for the first time to act together in devising a business like system for marketing it. The fact that cotton brought 17 cents in February, 1904, and 7 cents in December the same year, demonstrates that such a system is absolutely necessary. The fact that several millions of bales of cotton are now lying out, exposed to mud, rain and other detrimental weather influence, to lose 20 to 50 pounds per bale, equal even at present prices to from $1 20 to $3 a bale, demonstrate, that such a system is absolutely The fact that this cotton crop must be held until after the time for planting the next crop matures, demonstrates that such a system is absolutely necessary.
The fact that the exact number of these several millions of bales of cotton is unknown, anc. that the exact number of these bales of cotton should be known in order to determine the exact acreage which should be planted for the next crop demonstrates that such a system is absolutely necessary. The fact that high rates of interest and insurance are being paid by farmers holding these several million bales of interest on warehouse receipts as collateral and low rates of interest could be had if these several millions of bales were safely stored demonstrates that such a system is absolutely necessary. The fact that in November, 1898, cotton sold for 5 cents, because there was a surplus produced and that this surplus could have been sold for remunerative prices if it had been held, demonstrates such a system is absolutely necessary. The fact that the present crop is being sold at nearly the same low rate, and that these periods of depression occur, and must in the of things occur a greater or less degree every year unless a businesslike method of holding the surplus each year is adopted, demonstrates that such a system is absolutely necessary.
At the New Orleans convention I shall present what is known as the plan" for organzing a cotton warehouse system, but should the convention or the three committees of farmers, merchants and bankers, acting jointly, decide that some other plan should be adopted, I earnestly urge prompt action in having it executed on the part of the convention and these committees, and diligent work immediately after the adjournment of the convention. The newspapers of the whole country have so generously aided this work that I here acknowledge their great help, and again request their continued editorial support, adressed at present to the single object of securing certain action at New Or leans.

19, 1905. A Horrible Murder. A horrible murder occured near Wall's Store at Grant P. O. in Marshall county just over the line from this county a few days ago.
An old man named Winkle had received his confederate pension money and had also sold a steer and was known to have about $50 in money on his person. He was waylaid by two men, Ebe Watson and a man named Stapler. Stapler was busy digging his grave when the old man came along. Watson commanded him to halt but instead he started to run. Watson fired but he ran some distance before he fell and his cries of agony brought him assistance.
He related his experience and told that Watson was the man who had shot him and then died. The community was very indignant and a posse was formed. Watson became frightehed and went to Guntersville and surrendered and made a fall confession of his crime implicating Stapler as his accomplice. Stapler was later arrested and both men are now in jail at Guntersville. Strike Settled.

These Bring on the Deadly Bright's Disease. Thousands Die of It Every Year. Notice Kidney disease is the enemy we have most to fear as a result of the feverish restlessness of modern civilization. It is a treacherous enemy, working out its deadly effect under cover of the most trifling symptoms. The first indication of changes in the urine, frequent headaches, digestive troubles, should be the signal for prompt remedial measures.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy of the greatest merit; it is soothing, healing and strengthening, quickly relieves the aching or soreness that always appears in advanced stages, checks the progress of the disease and through its excellent cleansing and regulating effect in the stomach, liver and bowels, it brings back the strength and ruddy glow of vigorous health. Accept no substitute. Insist on having the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the large figure 8 in red on the front label. Sold Everywhere, Price $1.00 per bottle, NEW CITY BRUG 00., Bridgeport,.
