admiral spetry, commander of lus
American fieet, oxpreamed himweir as
highly appreeiative of th* warm we-
tention to the fixing at the pries which
must be demanded. President D. J.
Neill of the Texas union is hopeful that
the pries will bs fixed on ths first
days seeston—Tuesday. Hs is prepared
thoroughly to uphold ths Texas end at
the fight and is only waiting for the
national convention to fix the price un-
til he will issue a proclamation to the
3 00,000 Texas vembera outlining the
new plans and calling upon them for
vigorous, complete co-operation.
Veil of Secrecy Falls.
I has been generally understood on
ths outside that the central selling
agency plan, calling for sales direct to
the spinner, would supplant ths mini-
mum and holding features, but now it
develops that this tntormation has been
used only as a blind to the real objects
of the union leadsrs. The reported
plan to cast a veil of secrecy around
the minimum price if fixed also begins
to al-ppeat, -11 the fa. luCrt realize that
■eereey would be almost impossible. In
not recommending a minimum rice the
Texas union merely left the matter up
to the national body.
The full national executive commit-
tea, headed by President Charles S. Bar-
rett, being in the city, an informal
conference between the national board
and D. X Nell Texas president, and
other Texas leaders was held in Mr.
Barretes quarters at ths Hotel Worth
last night. After the adjournment it
was stated that the meeting was most-
ly social. It is the Impression, how-
ever. that the mitmum price matter
was under discussion.
No secret is mads of the fact that
ths we ion l*i* are far from satisfied with
ths prevaiing prices, and In ths face
of their own estimation of the extent
of the new crop not exceeding 12,000.-
000 bales, they are confident that con-
ditions justify much better values than
exist. With this teeling they will sn-
ter tbs convention, and ths result nn-
doubtedy will be the agreement of tbs
various states forming the whole to
hold for a price not less than 11 cents.
That the spirit of organisation and
power may spur the convention to set-
ting a price of 14 or 15 cents is ths
indication of a strong undercurrent.
That the price undoubtedly will be be-
tween 12 and 14 cents in the determina-
tion of the leaders.
spimners Co-Operatme
Not alone have arrangements been
practically perfected for the national
union to carry out its plan of selling
direct to the spinners snd at prices
and in quantities to salt their own de-
stren, but tbs spinners themselves are
said upon excellent authority to be
thoroughly in sympathy with th» farm-
ers and win render material aid. In

The psople of Gilmer wsrs thrown Into
grsst excitement today at U:>0 o'clock,
just a few moments after Rev. Mr. Mul-
holland had dismissed his congrega-
tion. Where he had been conducting
services in a tent at the southeast cor-
ner of the courthouse yard in the pub-
lic square.
Just aa the crowd was leaving In va-
rious directions for home their atten-
tion was attracted by pistol shots does
by and screams for help. In front at
the poetoffice Asberry Wright and his
daughter, Mrs. Lottis Hanna, drove
along, and Marshall Hanna, husband of
Lottis Hanna, got upon the back of
ths boggy and demanded that he ba
permitted to ride. Mr. Wrighe and his
daughter, Mrs. Hanna, both told him
heVooula not. Mr. Wright drew, back
his buggy whip and told him to get
down. Hanna jumped down and drew
a pistol and began firing. He shot
three times but failed to hit either, the
second shot striking ths back of the
buggy. Hanna made other attempts
to shoot, but his pistol tadled to fire.

pending better prices. Texans are also
beginning to hold. Th* spirit of unity
seems mors general than svsr before,
and It is announced that ths rank and
file of southern cotton growers are
only waiting for a definite proclamation
from the national officers before they
join at once in the movement. The
general plans have passed down the
line for some weeks, and only the form-
al call to arms is awaited before the
fight will be on.
Once the proclamation is out and cir-
culated. It is claimed the 3.000,000 mem-
bers throughout the cotton growing
belt gill respond almost to a man. and
the first endeavor, It is said. wUl bs to
starve the market on new cotton,
through this means the farmers hop*
to start the price on the upward clim
and gradualiy and effectively handle
the crop until their own prices prevail.
That the farmers are well fortified
for this years effort to conttol the
price of cotton is thetr own belief. Tbs
plan of holding the entire output,

with one member from each state, as

for storage and the fixing of the min-
imum price are tributary.
