GRAVE OF PAUL JONES.
Its Whereabouts Unknown, In
dicating Lack of Faith
by France.

WASHINGTON, July l2. IAN inquiry
was recently made at the state depart
ment In regard to the grave of John
Paul Jones, the great naval hero Of re-
volutionary days who died 10 Paris
July Is, 1852. He was buried there
with the highest honor by the French
government but 1t appears the present
location of the grave is not known.
The secretary of state recently ad-
dressed letter to Henry Vignaud. of the
United States embassy at Paris, asking
whether the grave of John Paul Jones
in Paris Is known and marked. He re-
ceived reply from Vignaud, saying
that although he had made earnest and
frequent inquiries of the city authori-
ties In regard to the matter, he was un-
able to discover the whereabouts Of the
grave. One thing established by his
Inquiries, however, he says. is that John
Paul Jones is not buried in the ceme-
terry where the remains of Lafayette
lie, as had been supposed by some peo-
pie. In another quarterit is intimated,
owing to custom prevailing in Paris,
that the remains of John Paul Jones
were deposited in a rented grave for
term of years and that upon the expira
tion of the lease great many years ago,
the bones of this distinguished Atneri-
can patriot were thrown into the ps.-
ters field.

Mr.. ]. d. Rowe, the former county
superintendent, and the old Fusion
county education board, came into town

Hon G. IL. Mebane, Superintendent OF
Public instruction, and Hon. Zeb V.
Walser, Attorney General. The new
board asked if the old board would leave
their work as it was. Upon the refusal
of the old board to do so, the new board
said, Then we cannot agree to your
proposition" and so the matter ended. /"

ty superintendent, says that he will not
give up the keys and the books of the

THE CROP BELOW
Nine MILLION
The Statistician Now Puts it
at 5000, 900 Bales.
--------
BASIS OF THE ESTIMATE
SPECIAL AND GENERAL RE-
PORTS LARGEST RECEIVED.
ACREAGE 5. 8 PER CENT UNDER LAST YEAR
The Estimated Acreage in North Carolina is
100000 and the Estimated Yield
Of Lint Cotton.Here Per Acre
is 1913 Ponds.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE statistlcian
of the Department Of Agriculture re-
ports 100000 bales as the probable
cotton production of the United States
for 1S99-1900. This estimate is based
on larger number of both general and
special reports than has ever .efofe
been received by the department in con-
nection with, a cotton crop. While
weather conditions during the past
thirty days have been mainly favorable
to whatever picking remained to be
done, so that the general condition of
the crop is slightly better than one
month ago, continued investigations
leave absolutely no doubt that the crop
is even smaller than was indicated III
either of the statistician's previous re-
ports.
The estimated productive area in
thousands of acres is as follows:
Virginia A; North Carolina 1920;
South Carolina 2,212; Georgia 3,2SS;
Florida 149: Alabama 2.SS3; Mississip-
ri 2.TS4: Louisiana ITO; Texas IL
642; Arkansas 1.726: Tennessee SIG;
Oklahoma 100; Indian Territory 300;
Missouri II; total, 23.522.
This is IS per cent. less than last
year.
The estimated yield, in pounds of lint
cotton per acre, is as follows:
Virginia 100; North Carolina 193;
South Carolina 165; Georgia 1a9 F'lori-
da "a; Alabama 176; Mississippi 209;
Louisiana 23S; Texas 1856; Arkansas
1913; Tennessee 166; Oklahoma 1S5; In
