COTTON FIGURES
BUREAU OF STATISTICS PLANS
TO GIVE ACCURATE Re

Railroad VIII Contribute Reports
Where More Than 1000 Bales
Are Handled.
Are Handled

Washington Aug. 15.-The bureau
Of statistics of the department of
agriculture expects soon to get out
the most accurate report of the amount
of cotton ON hand AT the close of the
year that has ever yet been promuI.
gated. This viii be done through co.
operation with the railroads and get
ting figures from their agents at All
hipping points which ship more than
a thousand bales a season
An effort was made in this direction
last wear but for reason and an
other several of the railway companies
were not sufficiently impressed with
the value of time III furnishing the
1a1a and consequently were so tardy
that the experiment had 10 be defer
red.
The custom heretofore in vogue III
arriving at the amount of cotton on
hand has been for the cotton exchanges
to give the amount Of cotton at thirty
two towns and cities, including ST.
Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati, which
are outside of the cotton belt. These
cities will not be included in the bur
eau report as the cotton they have
would have already been accounted fon
| in shipment figures from the shipping
| points.
There are in the cotton belt 1884
stations which ship more than OOU
bales, as follows, by States:
Alabama, 1872; Arkansas, 10; Flor
ida Is; Georgia. Indian Territory. 54;
Louisiana, 100; Mississippi, 1856:
North Carolina, 81; South Carolina,
155; Tennessee, 40; Texas, 383 Vlr-
ginia, 5; Missouri, 4.
| This year the railroad companies,
are alive to the work and the indica-
tion is there will be no neglect on
any line. The figures will embrace
the amount of new and old cotton on
hand at each shipping point, agents
| being asked to give the actual amount
of cotton in sight at warehouses, com
presses, public gins and on railway

reason is plain. The doctor tries to cure the
symptom and neglects the disease. In all
cases of chronic headache, nervousness,
weakness, general debility, dizzy spells, loss
of appetite inability to sleep, lack Of energy,
loss OF flesh, lack Of interest, morbid tend

wonders every day and will cure you as it
has thousands of others. Read how quickly
it acted in the follow. .ng case:
"A few years ago / was greatly troubled
with nervousness and indigestion. While at
work a dizzy spell would come over me and
would be forced to stop and rest. Isuffered
terribly from headaches and my nervousness

Quietly Married In Paris,

William X. and Mrs. Rutherford Were
Quietly Married In Paris.
Paris. April 27.-Mr. and Mrs. Will
liam X. Vanderbilt, who were quietly
married in London ON Saturday, have
arrived in Paris. The bride, thickly
veiled, entered her husbands auto
mobile and the pair quickly sped
away to Mr.. Vanderbilts country resi-.
dence near Poissy. The arrangements
by which the wedding was kept secret
were most elaborate, and they were
not relaxed even at the last moment.
The wedding party entered st. Marks
church in London through the vicarage
and departed from the rear entrance.
While the wedding ceremony was
going on there lay in the vicarase the
dead child of the vicar Of st. Marks,
who made Mr.. Vanderbilt and Mrs.
Rutherford man and wife. At the
conclusion of the wedding ceremony
the coffin was brought into the church
and the Rev. R. H. Hadden read the
burial ceremony over his child. I'm.
mediately afterward he left for Liver.
pool, where his father is dying.
Beet Pulp for Fodder.
Secretary Wilson believes there is
great value in the pulp of beets after
the saccharine matter has been ex-
tracted which it will be profitable for
the farmer to use for fodder. The old
er factories have never been able to dis
pose of this pulp advantageously, be-
cause its real value has not hitherto
been appreciated. "The new factories"
says the secretary, shave to pay people
to haul it away, but the farmers are be-
ginning to use it for feeding purposes,
and some Of the beet sugar companies
are buying cattle to fatten them with
It, as the distillers do with their 70.
