Humor ans Philosophy
BY DUNCAN u. SMITH
a DAY m THE WOODS.

Far from the fret and fever Of traficxing
and trading,
From desk and dreary drudging 10
clty's CRIME and glare,
Deep In some dell delightful, its pleasant
paths parading.
To wander through its windings and
breathe its bracing air.
Beside 9 merry maiden, nadcap. minus
manners
But cunning as kitten. as clever. coy
and cute.
Has city celebrations with blare and
bands and banners,
Beat out by forty furlongs and several
miles to boot
Around YOU the aroma or field and flower
and furrow
Above the sylvan songsters make sweet
the summer skies;
Far In the friendly fastness with calm
content you burrow.
Pursuing paths primeval your day Of
pleasure flies;
Where wild flowers wave welcome, a.
glad and gracious greeting,
Which seem to say, Sweet signor and
merry maiden stay
Camp down upon the carpet and hear our
rude hearts beating,
Thus near to nature nestle and spend your
holiday"
SO where the shade is softest cool spot
is selected
In which you spoon In silence while
happy moments pass.
Safe from all prying peppers and no sign
is erected
BY horrid park policemen which reads,
Keep Off the Grass!"
And In this place propitious, as natures
guest reposing.
You feel an inspiration you do not care
to check
But just as you are pausing from one
point of proposing
A wiggling worm works forward and
wanders down your neck.
Meanwhile saucy spider has given the
girl Mysteries,
And SO yorr little seance is broken right
In two;
You couldn't coax your courage with forty
kinds of derricks
Back to the point of sticking where IL
would see you through.
Lunch baskets and such luggage you
gather In hurry
And say, Come, charming Clara, let's
duck for goodness salxea,
For that man eating spider has set you in
furry;
Who knows but in this hollow are huge
and horrid snakes?p
With this unhappy ending winds up your
summer outing;
III bred. insistent insects break UP your
tete-a-tete
So sadly to the car line you plod on.

Resolved from all such places to keep

COTTON GINNED IN
GEORGIA COUNTIES.

Washington, Nov. ga bulletin
was issued by the Census Bureau to-
day. showing that in los counties in
Georgia, the cotton ginned to Nov. IA,
as reported, amounted to 1,246, 997, run
ming bales. this year. as against 1922
$50 bales for the same counties last
year. Counting round bales as half
bales. the number is 1,244,741, as
against 7SS.395 last year. The report
issued to-day is supplementary to pre-
vious reports. and is more complete as
to the counties covered. In addition
to the figures regarding the cotton
ginned to-day's statement shows that
the ginneries covered by the reports
for the present year number 1897, as
against 1898 for the year 1908. In
1902. the reports showed total cotton
ginned to Nov. IA to be 1872, 655 bales,
and the number of ginneries employed
4913.

COTTON.

New York, Nov. 22.-The first install
ment of the ginneries' returns pub
lished to-day reports that there were
ginned I'm 105 counties in the state of
Georgia up to Nov. a. 1,246,9 97 running
bales. as against 1886 last year,
counting round bales as half bales; 105
counties in the state of Georgia have
ginned up to Nov. IA, 1,244,741 bales. as
against 7S3.S95 last year. However this
report may be viewed, it cannot but
be regarded as intensely bearish. The
increase over last year is $50 per cent.
Apply this average to the entire belt.
II would indicate that there will have
been ginned up to Nov. IA 1925, 295
bales, as against 6,S15, 164 last year.
Last year 1871 per cent. of the crop
had been ginned by Nov IA. If the
same proportion has been ginned this
year, the Indicated crop upon the ba-
sis of to-day's census returns applied
to the whole belt is 1885, 900 bales
If so per cent. of the crop has this
year been ginned up to Nov. IA the in
dicated crop is approximately Is. SOC, 900
bales. To-day's returns are, however,
exclusively from the state of Georgia,
and includes 105 counties i'm that state,
attoTutnB 10 the census returns OF last
year there are altogether 121 cotton
producing counties in the state of
Georgia. Probably the largest counties
have not been heard from, but apply
ing the average of to-day's report to
the entire state we find that 105 coun-
ties had ginned up 10 Nov. IA. 1,244,741
bales: then I'm the same period 12i
counties will have ginned 1852. 1853
bales. The total Georgia crop last
year. according TO the census, was L.
100000, OF which 74.s per cent. had been
ginned by Nov. IL. II this year so
per cent. has been ginned by that date
and this 40 per cent is 1858. 1853 bales,
then the total Georgia crop Is 1871 .2Ol
bales, or approximately $1,000 over last
year. In the face OF such showing,
anticipate that there viii now be few

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
BIG GEORGIA YIELD
SENT MARKET OFF.

New York, Nov. 22.-The cotton mar
ket was much more active as result
chiefly of liquidation following the first
installment of the ginners report,
which was published at midday and
was followed by a sharp break in
prices. The opening was easy at a
decline of COZ points in response to
lower cables than expected, and con-
tinued reports of free spot offerings
in the South. There was considerable
covering at the decline. and while the
undertone of the market during the
forenoon showed nervousness, prices
underwent little further change until
after the census report was published.
This covered the amount of cotton
Sinned up to Nov. IA from the produc-
ton of l05 counties in Georgia, and
showed 1,244,741 bales, against 1888
for the same time last year.
Offerings following the report be-
came very active. The South was a
big seller and liquidation was further
accelerated by reports of further de-
clines in the Southern spot markets.
AS prices worked down stop loss or
ders on the short side were uncovered,
and it seemed that only the active
covering of the big short interests pre-
vented Generalization. AS it was the
market was exceedingly unsettled and
very heavy. The close was barely
steady. and at the lowest point of the
day or net decline of 27630 points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-11-23

figures given to-day show that in los
counties in Georgia there were ginned
up to Nov. II 1,244,741 bales, against
4S3,395 last year. all in 300-pound bales.
The percentage was 5 per cent. AS
only 40e per cent increase over last
year would give 9,500,0O0 ginned to the
same date this year, the decidedly
greater proportion shown by to-day's
figures was looked upon as indicating
a very large crop. 1t is true that only
returns so far available are from Geor-
gia, where the crop is credited to be
exceptionally fine, so that the number
of bales already ginned represent not
only an increased proportion naturally
resulting from a splendid gathering
season, but also the excess production
as compared with last year. Still. no
matter how the great increase can be
explained away, it stands plainly as a
bearish factor, and until modified by
less favorable returns from other states
Will be considered as indicating a yield
fully up to the largest expectations

circumstances, would be excessive,
making our market thus the cheapest
in the world. To-day's break has car
ried our prices away below those Of

or more from that quarter tomorrow,
Even after such a decline, our market
would be 80 points under Liverpool.

in Lnte Trade.
The suspense in which the naval
stores trade has been in for several
days over the spirits market situation
came to an end yesterday afternoon
after the markets close when holders
of spirits capitulated under pressure
of heavy accommodations and sold out
below what had been set as the min
imum price for the season, 50 cents.
The market was swept at 49% cents,
some $500 casks changing hands at
that figure and all of it, it is under
stood, being taken care of by one
buyer.
Earlier in the season. some months
ago, the Turpentine Operators Asso-
citation notified all members of the fac
tors division of the trade in this city
that when spirits reached a minimum
price of so cents and could not be dis
posed of through the regular channels
at that figure the association stood
ready to take care of all receipts at
50 cents. During the last three or four
of the drop and the tone grew weaker
from day to day there was much anx-
ious inquiry as to when the Turpen-
tine Operators Association would take
a hand in the affair: but no move
ment was made by the association, and
finally yesterday, after the close of the
market, which was quoted nominal and
without any sales since the opening.
the factors decided that the accurnu-
lation of the last several days were
too heavy longer to be carried and
So agreed to sell out at the decline of
u cent
The market opened quiet at 50 cents,
and with reported sales of $50 casks
and closed nominal and unchanged,
with no further sales. The receipts
were unusually heavy, 1,O9S casks, and
the shipments 4s4 casks. The New
York market was quoted dull at 53A
cents, a decline of Il cent, while Lon
don also showed a drop in price, be-
ing quoted at 3S-1l5.
The rosin market continues to show
an Improvement. The opening was
firm at an advance of cents on M,
K and 1. with sales of 1874 barrels,
and the close firm and unchanged
without further sales. In the after
noon sales generally were made at an
advance of 5 cents Non w. W.. w. G.
and N, with the remainder of the list
at quotations. Some sales were made
at an advance of 10 cents on the top
pale and quotations for the remainder.
The receipts were 1914 barrels, and
the shipments 1926 barrels. New York
was quoted dull at $295.

Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick & Co.
New York, Nov. 22.-The census re-
port had a depressing effect on prices
which, however, was offset to no small
extent by the active covering of shorts
following a dip of about points in
prices as compared with the low level
previous to the publication of the re-
port. The report covered 105 counties
in Georgia and showed that these
counties had ginned 1,244,741 bales,
counting round as half bales, against
1896 last year. The bears pointed
out that there were still about TWEEN
ty-six counties to be heard from in
this state. and that some of the larger
crop estimates have included an al
lowance for Georgia only AGO. 900 bales
greater than the amount already gin
ned. TO our mind the figures are not
conclusive. We believe that the crop
of Georgia has been nearly all ginned
and that the figures given for this
month will come within a very small
percentage of the total crop. Another
crop statement that may have had
some influence was that of the Jour-
nal of Commerce. This paper pub
lished an average estimate compiled
from the individual estimates Of some
800 cotton handlers in the South. The
smallest estimate was 1919. 900: the
largest u, 500, 900 bales, the average H.
