Census Bureaus FigureS-Their VAR

turaI Division Explained.
Washington. March 1S.-The census
bureau has completed it's tabulation
of the acreage, production and value
of the cotton crop of 1899, showing
total of 24,175092 acres in cotton, pro-
ducing in 1899. 9,534S76 commercial
bales. This cotton fibre had the value
on the farms of 1928, Ill. In addi-
ton to this fibre grown there were A.
5e6,091 tons of seed, worth $46 $50, 525
exclusive of the seed sold by the far
mers with the fibre before ginning.
The quantity of cotton fibre grown
in 1899 as reported by the division of
agriculture was $3.50 bales of 500
pounds in excess of that reported by
the division of manufactures as hav-
ing been ginned in the same year.
The variation between these two re-
ports, as given above is only per
cent. OF the variation between these
two reports, 1908 were found in some
fifteen counties in the Mississippi,
Yazoo Delta, and 23,367 in four coun-
ties in Southwestern Tennessee, adj
joining the counties in Mississippi in
which there was an excess.
Outside of these 10 counties the re-
ports practically agreed the variation
teing only 1859, or Is per cent.

Farmers of Mitchell Are Living at
Home and Selling Supplies to
Others.
Camilla, Ga, March 13.-Farmers are
quite busy preparing gtheir lands for
the, crops of 1902, and many are ready
to plant corn and cotton. The indfca-
tions for old Mitchell, the best agricul-
tural county in Georgia, are that less
commercial fertilizers will be bought
this spring than last; less cotton will
be planted than last year, and more
attention will be given to the produc-
ton of food crops and stock raising.
Nearly every farmer in Mitchell coun-
ty has plenty of corn, meat and lard,
hay and syrup for home use this year.
There has been shipped from Camilla
to other markets about fifteen car
loads of fat hogs and cattle this win
ter, as surplus meats from the sur
rounding farms. Besides these home
raised" supplies our people have sold
in this market about five thousand
bales of upland cotton and about five
hundred bales of sea island cotton,
WHICH brought fair prices Our mer-
chants made fairly good collections.
The retail cash trade never was better.
Improvement and progress is visible on
all sides. Many new and beautiful
residences are being contracted for,
and contractors complain that they
cannot get building material from the
mills without much delay. The gem
eral health of this community is good,
and many home seekers from the
worn out lands of Middle Georgia are
locating in this county to aid in her
upbuilding. Upon the whole our peo-
pie are comparatively prosperous and

his malady being his only affection at
this time. He will be able to resume

Vicfions in City Court.

posed to be negro. He simply had a
chair propped against the door which
was pushed away and the intruder en-
tered his room without waking him.
His gold watch valued at S125, and SIS
in money were taken. The same par

Travis was acquitted of the charge
of gaming, j. w. Searls for selling

For Pointing n Gun.
Probably the most interesting case
tried at this term of the court was the
state versus &. A. Goodwin, charged
with pointing a gun at another not in
his own defense The party at whom
he had pointed a gun was the son of
one of his neighbors. a young man by
the name of Cap May A counter
charge was brought against young
May. he being accused of carrying con-
cealed weapons, but he was acquitted
of that charge. Goodwin was found
guilty and sentenced to pay fine OF

chaingang. He was represented by
Hon. A. E. Cochran, while Solicitor J.
Walter Bennett appeared for the state.
A motion has been made for new

Good Chicken story.
Mrs. Georgia Jones of this city re-
ports a remarkable hen among her
fowls. On the last day of December,
she set a hen which. in due course of
time, Matched off her brood. In just
one month. she left the little chicks
and went to laying again. The same
day that she left them a young pullet
came to the rescue of the little chicks
and took them under her ownl wing,
being as good to them as their own
mother could possible be. She shelter
ed them under her wings at night, and
