Bulletin OF Cotton Statistics.

Mr.. w. A. Neal, Jr., Of Washington,
d. c., was in Walhalla last Thursday and
Friday in the interest of the cotton sta
tistics department of the United States
Census Bureau. The matter of collect
ing and publishing cotton statistics has
for number of years been given special
attention by the general government, and
each succeeding year has marked an i'm
provement in these reports in the way of
accuracy and completeness, until at pres
ent they are recognized as the most
authentic source of information in re
gard to one of the most important crops
of the country. Heretofore information
has been obtained almost entirely
through the ginners by correspondence.
This year, however, the government will
have in the field one man in each county
of the cotton-growing States who will be
paid for his services in collecting from
the ginners accurate reports on the num-
Der OF bales ginned through each season.
Bulletins will be issued to cover the crop
of 1902 on October 18th and December
18th; and at the close of the ginning
season-about the middle of March, 1908,
general resume of important informa-
tion and corrected statistics will be
given. These reports are mailed first to
the ginners themselves for verifcation,
and in this way the accuracy of all mat
ter is assured. The reports will be in
creased as occasion requires, and they
may be issued monthly in the near
future. There Is much of interest in
them both to the farmer and the cotton
merchant. Mr.. Neal will recommend
Sheriff B. r. Moss to the Census Depart
ment as agent to collect the reports from
the ginners Of Oconee county.

A Curiosity In Peach Culture.

Scents" remarked Uncle Sam Max
we'll last Monday morning as he walked
into The Courier office, 81 wants to show
you .pecuniar growth" Here the
genial descendant of Ham placed a dispen-
sary bottle on the imposing stone, and
we, like every printer naturally would,
began to feel insulted, especially as the
bottle had the appearance of being an
"empty." 81 wants to show you a
growth pecuniar to South Carolina"
continued Sam; "it's the product of the
chicanery and industry of man in co.ope-
ration with the economy of God" With
this introduction he pointed out to us
good-sized ripe peach in tho upper half
of the bottle, almost at the neck. Early
in May Uncle Sam took from peach
tree on his farm small twig on which
there were three blooms. Cutting the
twig off to about eight inches in length
he stuck the uncut end into the bottle,
leaving two blooms on the outside and
one inside, about an inch below the neck
He then buried the bottle about two
thirds of its depth in the ground and
awaited developments. On Monday last
he took up the bottle and found that he
had grown to maturity, severed and en-
tirely independent of the tree, a perfect
peach, well developed, ripened and as
delicately colored on the upper side as if
1t had hung from the bough of tree,
watered by the gentle showers and dews
of the season and kissed by the sun
until blushing red had become a part
of its nature. Sam treated an apple
twig il the Same manner, but being
much larger and harder than the peach
the growth of the blossom was too vigor-
GUS, and the apple burst its glass prison
and went on growing. The peach speaks
for itself and remains in The Courier
Office, where it can be seen by any one
who desires to make an inspection. Sam
is good farmer, makes splendid yields
on his broad acres, and finds time to use
his "chicanery and industry in co-ope-
ration with the economy Of God" in
various little experiments as we'll as in
his business as farmer. Despite the
fact that he says "dis' and "dat," and
gets little mixed at times on his
lengthy words, there is lesson that
may be profitably applied by educated
people in mixing this "qhicanery and
industry of man with the economy of
God ~
