Government Agent Securing Cot
ton Statistics in Terrell.

Mr.. w. S. Dozier, agent for the gov
eminent in securing cotton statistics
in Terrell county, is now making his
fourth visit to the gins this season.
He will make one more round lin
March,, but as the cottonecro has
been ginned and marketed his next
visit to the gins will be useless.
Mr.. Dozer is not allowed to give out
any information, but The News under
stands that the indications now are
that the cotton crop of Terrell county
for the year just closing is about the
same as it was the year before. A
year ago the figures showed that some
thing more than $4,000 bales of cotton
were ginned in the county, and it il
not believed that the number thi'
year will be lesssthan Is 900 bales.
