GINNERS' REPORT
Of Cotton Crop Conditions in Mis-
sissippi 10 Nov Is Will Be
Bullish in Tone.

sissippi is concerned. the ginners' re-

bureau on the 3rd of December cover.
ing cotton crop conditions up to the
18th of November, will be quite bull
ish in tone. In this state hundreds
of gins were idle during the monthly
period up to the 10Th on act cunt OF
the long protracted drouth which re-
suited in water famine in the conn
try districts.
Crop experts and close observers OF
cotton conditions declare that implic-
it confidence cannot be placed in the
reports of ginners owing to the fact
that large majority of them are also
cotton farmers and it logically fol
lows that they are on the bull side
of the market Some of the largest
ginners candidly admit that they
never send in report that gives a
roseate view of the situation, for
thereby they would be working
against their own interests. The
natural tendency to take pesshnistic
view Of the crop outlook, coupled
with the fact that the amount of
staple ginned during the month has
been smaller than usual, will, in the
opinion of many, result in a decided
Iv hull;sh report from Mississippi.

ROOSEVELT'S RETURN
PRESIDENT WILL BE AT WHITE
 HOUSE MONDAY.
Given Out That Winter Social Season Will be the Most Bril- liant in Years-Repairs on
 Executive Masion.

Washington, Sept. 26.-(Special.) .)-The President of the United States will be at the executive mansion on Monday af- ter an absence off and on of nearly six months. Workmen have been engaged on the White House up to the last min ute, the finishing touches having been put on this afternoon. The repairs and improvements have been in progress since early in the spring, and there has been great deal of bustling and tearing down and building up to make a show ing for the expenditure of the half mill lion or so appropriated by Congress.
 The generous beauty of the grounds have been, marred by piles of rubbish and the fragrancy of the profusion of flowers and rare exotics has been usurp- ed by all kinds of raw and pungent odors Of paint. But everything Is now spick and span. and will be quite ready for the distinguished master and mistress who 1t is said will this winter inaugu- rate the most brilliant social season Washington has known for many years.
 There is much conjecture in this con- nection as to whether the White House receptions will embrace as heterogen- ous list of guests regardless of race. color, or previous condition as made memorable similar affairs last winter.
