THE INCREASE IN
COTTON ACREAGE
Placed at Eight and Seven
Tenths Per Cent.
NO OF ACRES. 25 5h3 00O
NO. OF ACRES, 1858, 900
That is to Say an Increase Over Last
Year of 100000.
10 PER CENT INCREASE IN THIS STATE
The Average Condition Of the Growing Crop on
June list Was 82.5 as Compared
With IS on June Isl of
Last Year.
(By the Associated Prcss.)

Washington June 1.-THE Statistician
of the Department of Agriculture esti-
mates the total area planted in cotton
at 25,55S 900 acres, an increase of 2,036, 900
acres, or 81 per cent. over the productive
area of last year He estimates the in
crease at per cent in South Carolina
and Alabama and per cent in Texas and
Georgia, per cent in Louisiana and Ten
nessec 10 per cent in North Carolina,
Mississippi and Arkansas Is per cent in
Indian Territory, IS per cent in Okla
homa % per cent in Virginia and q per
cent in Missouri. In all these States the
increase is more or less localized being
least where the production of cotton is
the most dense and greatest in those re-
gions where cotton growing has hitherto
been less extensively engaged and where
physical conditions are not in all re-
spectS the most favorable to its produce
tion In general, the increase has been
restricted by the scarcity of labor, the
high price of seed, the enlarged area in
ll-Sown, and, in certain sections by
exceptionally unfavorable weather condi-
tiOns. Along the northern border of the
cotton belt land from which wheat has
been harvested is being hurriedly planted
in cotton, but the amount is relatively in
considerable and allowance has been made
for it in the estimate.
The average condition of the growing
crop on June 1st was S2.5, as compared
with S5.7 on June 1st of last year, $50
at the corresponding date in 1898, and
ST. the mean of the June averages of
the last ten years. A condition of S2.5
is, with one exception, the lowest June
condition in twenty years. The condition
in Texas is n, this being the. lowest June
condition reported from that State in %
years and 16 points below the ten year
average. South Carolina Alabama and
Tennessee are two points and Mississ-
ipri and Florida three points and one
point respectively below their ten year
averages. On the other hand, Louisiana
reports one point, North Carolina two
points, and Georgia and Arkansas three
points above their ten year averages.
largely increased use of fertilizers
is reported from the older States and
wherever the necessary labor is available
and planters are not too much discouraged
unusual care is being exercised in Gull
tiyatiCn.
Every important section of the nine
principal cotton States, together with
Oklahoma and Indian Territory has been
visited by special agents of the Depart
ment within the last three weeks and the
results of their Investigations are en-
bodied in the present report. This work
will be continued throughout the entire
growing season and should any modifca-
ton of the acreage figures be found ne
cessary the requisite adjustments will
be made by the statistician and promptly
made public.

E. w. POU ON THE AMENDMENT.
He Proves by Republican and Populist Authori
ties That it is Constitutional.
Especial to News and, observer.)

Especial to News and, Observer
Newton, N. c., June IA large crowd
of men and ladies assembled in the court
house on Saturday night to hear Hon. e.
w. Pou discuss the Constitutional Amend
ment
He showed just what the Amendment
meant and how greatly it would benefit
the State. He also showed that it was
constitutional. He asked Republican,
whose word will you take? | refer you to
Hon. Thos. Settle, your former Congress
man. point you to Hon. Thos NJ. Argo.
whom l consider as one of the finest
lawyers in the State. These men and
other prominent Republicans say that
the Amendment is constitutional"
"popuist, whose word will you take? I
point you to Hon. VIM. A. Guthrie, your
candidate for Governor in the last cleo
ton, man whose character is pure and
spotless, who would not sell out to the
Fusion gang, but remained true to his
party. Will you believe him? Then read
his excellent and powerful article de-
claring that the Amendment is constitu-
tional.' With these and other argu-
ments he fully established his point
He also showed there was nothing to
fear from the poll tax clause as far as
the old Confederate soldiers is concern
ed.
For every Confederate soldier who was
over seventeen years old when he went
in the army is now over fifty years old
and doesn't have to pay poi tax. So the
argument that this clause will keep the
poor, crippled Confederate soldiers from
voting is utterly false.
He showed the great benefits to be de-
rived from the adoption of the Amend
ment and the great evils that would re-
suit from its rejection. All the other
States around North Carolina, either have
Amendments or election laws that eX-
clude the negro and if we reject this
Amendment, the negroes from these other
States will flock to North Carolina and
outnumber the whites and then we shall
be powerless. Negroes will control the
government and white men will be I'M
able to protect themselves.
