Mr. Sorrell's tactics were aggressive

LOCAL GINNERS
RECEIVE INQUIRIES FROM THE
GOVERNMENT.
Uncle Sam Wants Facts and Asks
Gin Owners to Help Furnish
Them.

Few persons outside of those di
rectly concerned are familiar with
the methods persued by the census
officials of the department of the in,
terror in getting certain statistics.
Take, for instance, the reports of the
amount Of cotton ginned in the en-
tire United States. Each year the
government issues a book or, as it is
officially called, a Bulletin" contain
ing the figures on the subject, and it
has been matter Of considerable
speculation to outsiders how the in
formation was obtained
IN the first place, the census Office
has the name and postoffice address
who owns or operates a gin. To these
owners or operators a personal letter
IS sent near the end of the month OF
December. and this letter contains i
request for facts and figures which,
in eight cases out Of every ten, are
cheerfully furnished.
The ginners in the Pine Bluff dis
trct are receiving these letters of
which the following is copy:
washington, D. c., Dec. %, 1901.
"A copy of the Census Bulletin con
tanning report of the cotton ginned
IN the United States from the crop
IF 1900 was mailed to your address
recently In the letter which accom-
oanies that report your attention was
called to the fact that the census Of
fee has proved that ginner's reports
are a reliable source from which to
ascertain the amount of the annual
cotton crop, and that it is practicable
to collect such report by mail. p
1.-THE value of these statistics to the
cotton producers is universally con-
ceded, and you will readily under
stand that the earlier they can be
published the greater will be their
value. You are therefore urgently
requested to enter the information So
