COST OF RAISING COTTON.
Department of Agriculture Give Result
OF Investigation.

VI luNtSttSdtioh'
Washington. Feb. f6.-Under the SUI
pervision of the statistician Hyde, OF
the Department of Agriculture, the cost
of growing cotton has been investigated
and the results Of the investigation are
To be published within a few days IN
a pamphlet. This report will show that
the average cost of producing an acre
of upland cotton in 1898 was S13.42
subdivided into the following item:
Rent. S2.SS: blowing, S2.S1 seeds,
81; planting seed. %: fertilizers. S1.30:
distributing fertilizers. 10; chopping
and hoeing, S1.3l picking 1881; gin
ming and pressing, $102; bagging and
ties. 81; marketing. 81; repairing nipple
ments, 40: all other expenses, Al.
1t was ascertained that the pounds of
lint produced per acre were 2oo.6. sold
for CT cents per pound; bushels Of seed
produced Is, price per bushel. ll.9 cents.
The total return to the planter was
S19O3, which gave him a net profit of
$3.61 per acre. The cost of picking
cotton per hundred pounds was 44c,
while the cost of producing the lint per
pound was 5.27 cents.
Several thousand cotton planters CON
trbuted to these statistics and of the
entire number representing 20 per cent
reported a loss largely due to deficient
production, owing TO the drought or' 9th
or causes.
TO produce sea island cotton costs
S21 90 per acre or an average of 11.J9c.
per pound and the total return for lint
and seed of sea island cotton was S2S6J.
which gave the planter net profit of
500 per acre.
The planters that report a profit in the
raising of upland cotton produced 273.9
pounds ner acre, while those that re-
ported loss produced only 176 pounds.
The effect of the use OF fertilizers in
the raising of cotton is very distinctly
disclosed and the general result is that
in proportion as the quantity of fertile
ers used increased the profit of raising
cotton per acre also increased.
Ii has been discovered in this inveSti-
CATION that cotton is produced to a linn
tied extent, but ut high rate of profit.
by means of irrigation in Western
Texas and Southwestern part of Utah.
In Texas irrigation had the effect of
producing 5124 pounds of lint per acre,
which is 1908 pounds greater than the
average for the whole State. For 1896
many special inquiries were made by q
former statistician of the department
and estimated cost of producing lint cot
ton per pound, in gold, was S.32c. One
of the remarkable revelations Of the in
vestigation is the comparative cost OF
marketing cotton in 1910 and 1897. The
comparison is itemized and shows that
in 1910 it cost S1S.15 to market a bale OF
cotton from Alabama to Liverpool. while
in 1897 this cost was $3.50.

INVESTIGATION BEGUN.
The Colored A. and NJ College Of
Greensboro the Object This Time.

The Colored A. and NJ. College OF
Greensboro the Object This Time.
The special committee appointed TO in
vestigatc the Colored Agricultural and
Mechanical College mt Greensboro held
its first meeting last night. The com
mitee is composed of Senator Smith and
Representatives ii. G.. Wall and j. O.
Carr
President James +. Dudley, of the Col
ored a. and NJ. College, was before the
committee and brought with him the
hooks and papers OF the institution fol-
the past two and a half years. He was
questioned by the committee and answer
ed freely as to the management Of the
institution since his connection with IT,
The committee was not able in the
short session of a preliminary meeting
10 go very far into the details of eX-
penditures. 1t appeared, however. from
the cursory examination of accounts
that was had that the bad management,
if such there has been. was due more
to the board of directors than to the
president of the institution. Col. Il. Il.
Ne0gh for a while received 5000 a year
and an expense account that was ont
of all proportion TO what would seem
necessary in his capacity as president OF
the board. A meeting of the board cost
an average of about $3.50. the directors
getting 10 cents per mile and ~ 4
day.
The faculty gets in the way OF salaries
about $4,000 a year, while there are
but 13J students i'll attendance upon
the institution. This will probably lead
either to a reduction of the appropria-
ton given the institution by the State
or to the consolidation of other schools
with it. The committee will continue TO
sit from time to time until the investi-
CATION is completed.

Greensboro, n. c., Feb. 16.-(Special.)
The primary asked for by Guilford's
three representatives TO determine the
will of the white voters of Greensboro
in regard to the dspensary passed of,
quietly today. The vote stood $50 for
and 3 against the dispensary. The
very light vote is the result of an ex-
ceedingly bad day and the fact that
the anti-dispensary people were instruct
ed not to vote.

THosE who complain oi the character of the popular drama should not. in the opinion of Leslie's Weekly. "blame our sneatrical managers, but the public it. self. Ali. Hayman, whose theatrical experience is perhaps as great as that of any American, and whose judgment is certainly entitled to respect, says the blame for the decline ot dramatic nor. ale rests upon decadent public and not decadent stage, and adds the state- ment that there is not a manager or an actor of prominence who would Father present indecency than harmless humor or stirring drama. Mir. Hayman is right" the Wet sly continues, with etn- phasis. "rhe public gets precisely. what it pays for, and. pays for what it wants. It is responsible not only for the sen d., tional drama. but also for the sensa- tlonal press, and until it's tastes are cor rected and it's morals elevated it should cease it's criticisms both of the stage and the oress."

COPPER Is THE METAL,
The Ccchise Copper Mining Company,
 Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns a very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, .ir!Gona, lying immediately east of and adJcining the town of Bisbee, and ad- Jolnlns Li.e property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been In operation tor about twenty years, and employs about 1,500 men daily Tn the operation of it's mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,000,000 pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are 'eported to have been over S2,000,0 md It has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em~ pioy Tor years, that the Queen mlne now has sufficient ore in sight to keen it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further d. velopnent. -.
 Is 1t not reasonable to believe thai the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is witni.: such close proximity to such won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at tke shaft oi our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, well and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise SllpnpSG n q directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as the mine viii pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for term of one year.
 The stock books of oar company are now open for subscriptions, and linn ited number of shares are offered at ten cents per share. No application Tor less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion.
 Every cent received from the sale of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment ot our property and the erection Cf hoisting works, and al! other necessary improvements Snd to make Ctr enterprise 8 success in every particular.
