The value of imports also has fallen,
thus helping to ease the excessive re-
duction in the balance of trade in our
favor which was threatened. Asser-
lions and opinion from various sources
of crop damage accompanied the desul-
tory decline in prices, which reached a
point in some of the leading railroad

CONVICTIONS ELECTRIC LINE
Looks as il 1t VIII BE Built Through
to Jackson.


Covington, Ga, April lathe rumor
circulated in this section several weeks
ago of the proposed construction of
an electric railway from Covington to
jackson, via Poterdale, Swapping
Shoals and Jackson, appears to be as
Stunning tangible shape. Quite num-
Der of people along the proposed
route are interested in the project,
and if the effort is made to organize
a stock company, will doubtless sub
scribe literally.
The line would traverse a section of
country rich in natural resources, the
| development of which would mean
much to Newton and Butts counties.
1t is a we'll known fact that the water
fall at Swapping Shoals, on South riv-
er, is one of the finest undeveloped
water powers in the state.
If the project materializes, there is
little doubt that the line will. within a
very short while. be extended to Lo-
Evansville, through oxford and Walnut
Grove. For a number of years the
building of a railroad from Covington
to Logansville, or some other point on
the Seaboard Air Line, has been agi-
tated

CAROLINA COTTON MILLS
WILL NOT SHUT DOWN

Columbia, S. c.. April A.
1t is not thought now that
any of the cotton mills of
this state will have to close down at
any time during the summer. At first,
when cotton was soaring way up
and many of the mills were running
on a d-to-mouth basis, 1t was
thought that many of them would have
to close for a while. Most of them
have recovered, however, and have
placed contracts for supplies large
enough TO run them until next Octo-
Der, the opening Of the cotton season.

Reserve Openings.

In June, July and August, Indian
reservation lands aggregating
2,O2O, 500 acres, in the states of
Minnesota, South Dakota, NORTH
Dakota and NJ ;ntana, will be dis
posed Of to settlers, under lotteries
conducted by the government.
Much of this land is exceedingly
rich, and we'll adapted 10 agriculture.
It is expected that the contest
amongst intending settlers will be
more spirited than at any similar
opening in the part. The lands lie
as follows:
Montana reservation. 100000
acres. Opening in August. Home
steaders may take $40 acres, at 81 25
per acre,
Rosebud reservation, opened in

tier.

be taken at $3.50 per acre. The
opening occurs in July.
Red Lake reservation, Minnesota;
4l6, 900 acres, which may be taken
under the homestead laws, With an
additional payment of 1925 per
acre. The opening will occur on
June 10.
Applicants for these lands must
be registered in person at the res
| pective land offices, and must prove
their qualifications as homesteaders.
Honorably discharged soldiers may
register by agent. Persons regis
tering will be given certificates,
emitting them to 90 upon the lands
to make examinations, but not for
purposes of settlement.
The lotteries will be conducted by
committees of three members, to be
appointed by the secretary of the
interior. Persons registering will
aftlx their signatures to cards o.
application, which will be sealed in
blank envelopes.
On the date appointed fos eacf
drawing, these envelopes will be
opened by the committee, and mum
bcred in the order of their opening
These numbers will determine thu
priority of tbs claimants rights tt
make selection of lands. To securt
the allotment made to them, appli
cants must be present in person OIL
the dates assigned, or lose thei
places upon the list.
Every provision has been made t
secure fairness in the registration
: an d drawings.
