THIS SEASONS COTTON CROP.
Expert Opinion That South Will Not
Produce More Than Three-Fourths

Washington, July 12.-Ashley Horne
OF Clayton, one of the most successful
business men in North Carolina, who is
largely interested in cotton manufac-
turing, is Of the opinion that the
Southern states will not produce more
than three-fourths of a crop this sea-
son. Mr.. Horne, in speaking of this
subject today, said:
"At best there will not be more than
three-fourths of crop in North Caro-
lima, and the same conditions prevail
In the other Southern states. The time
for big cotton crops in the South is at
an end, in my opinion, and it will be a
rare thing If the South ever produces
more than an 1000, 000-b bale crop.
Scarcity Of labor is responsible for this
condition, which is more emphasized
this year than ever before. think the
smallness of the crop will result in
good prices being obtained for the
product throughout the season.
"Ths has been a successful year for
some mills and disastrous for others
The mills that had the foresight to lay
in q supply of cotton last fall and failed
to sell their products ahead have made
money. Those that did otherwise have
lost. A number of mills have had to
close down, for it has been impossible
to make money at the prices that the
staple has commanded of late"

THE TRUE BETSY ROSS.
Woman Who Made Our First Flag Was
Much Married.

There Is O very popular colored print,
which has had n large sale since the
little house at No. 239 Arch street be-
came one of the show places of Phiia-
delphia, and which is supposed to rep
resent Betsy Ross displaying the first
American flag to General Washington,
Robert Morris and George Ross. In
this picture she wears Quaker-like
dress and cap and looks distinctly ma
tronly and middle-aged, though she
was but twenty-four years old at the
time of the historical visit of the Con-
gressional committee. George Ross, a
Pennsylvania signer of the Declaration
of Independence, was the uncle of her
first husband, a fact which may ac-
count for the government contract for
flags having been placed in the hands
of the courageous young widow. OF
her life before and after the making of
the, first national flag SO little is known
to the average American that she may
be regarded as one of the half
legendary figures of the Revolutionary
period. And yet she was three times
wife and thrice a widow. and her
children's children are living in Phila-
delphia at the present day.
Elizabeth Griscom was born Janu-
airy i, 1852, of Quaker parentage. Of
her girlhood little is known, save that
she lived it according to the rules of
the Society Of Friends. The only thing
for which she seems to have been not
ed was her exquisite skill in needle
work, which was to prove valuable
art to her in later years. Above her
young head, on public holidays, foated
the red flag of Great Britain, with the
white crosses of st. George and st.
Andrew displayed as union. Perhaps
the little maid may have copied those
bright enslgns while employed with
her needle, not dreaming that she
would some day be called upon to
