THE TEXAS COTTON REPORT

The cotton reports from Texas, sent |
out as a result of the Investigations of
the Houston Post, are startling. The |
statement is made, as printed in our
news columns yesterday, that on ac-
count of the ravages of the boil weeyil,
the boil worm, the sharpshooter and
the dry weather, the estimate which
was put at So, 600, 900 bales while ago,
are now reduced to 2,5OO,O0O
The Post is an honest and entirely
responsible newsper, and if it's sources
of information are as correct and re-
liable as the Post believes them to be,
the facts are 10 be regarded more with
concern than enthusiasm in Georgia.
OF course, if true, the conditions re-
ported will rebound to the immediate
benefit of the Georgia cotton growers,
and cotton will go higher for this sea-
sons crop, at least. But there are two
serious considerations to be confronted,
The one is the steady advance of the
boil weevil eastward. The other is
that crop far short of the demand for
consumption will greatly stimulate the
production of cotton in other semi
tropical regions of the world already
making dangerous advances.
The wise policy of the South is, if it
can be done, to produce little enough
cotton to demand aremunerative price,
but enough to supply the world at that
price without forcing the development
Gifts production in Africa and in other
regions where it can be grown.
The old idea that the South alone
can produce cotton is gradually wear,
ing away as the dark continent is be
ing opened up to agriculture. At pres
ent the world is after the gold and the
diamonds in Africa. After while the
world will be after the cotton that car
be raised there also.
If the Texas report is anywhere near
the real truth, and for the reasons
given, the pleasurable anticipations
for higher price than now ranges fol
the Georgia crop are mixed, il
thoughtful minds, with degree o
anxiety for the future. Macon Tele

HE WAS A PROSPECTOR
The Man Whose Remains We're Found
On Saturday.

Just a little ray of light was shed
yesterday on the mystery Of the sheie-
ION found the day before in the SAT-
river mountains south of town.
Mexican by the name of A. tlqueroa
called on Coroner Burnett. having
heard of the finding Of the bones ana
told him the following story:
He said he was at the place where
the body was found two or three times
last winter and on each trip he saw
man working with pick and drill
evidently trying to follow up lttle
streak of copper ore he had found. liz
last time he saw the man he asked nm
if he had A pretty good mine and the
stranger answered him by saying not
much good. He seemed to be soclable
sort of a person and invited F1queroa
to go to his camp. which he did Ihe
prospector he thought was Dane He
could talk but very little English ana
their conversation therefore was very
limited for Fioueroa was as badly
handicapped in handling European
languages.
They climbed up to the camp Whlch
he described as being in just such
place as the coroner found Wheh ne
went after the remains: the shelving
rock partly protected by an overhans-
ing cliff and high up in the canyon.
The man. according to the Mexican
was dressed exactly as the skeleton
was when found, so far as the remain
ing clothes were concerned. The pros
pector though, said Fiqueroa. was ap-,
parently very poor. He had "a very
measer camp outfit and very little 10
eat but he was doing the best he could
On one occasion since then said FL
uueroa. he saw him III town and saw
him buy a drink at Bob Dolls saloon
That is the last he ever saw OF nm
and he never learned his name. MI
Doll says he has no recollection of th9
-fnan.
