MADE MISTAKE IN
GIVING FIGURES
President of Glnners' Association Says
They Were chumps for
Turning Them In.

Atlanta, December 30.-At meeting of
a number of ginners of Georgia and Ala
bama held here today two vice presidents
were named for Georgia to attend the next
convention of the cotton ginners to be
held in Dallas, Tex.
President J. A. Taylor of the National
Ginners' association was present at the
meeting, and made an address to the
ginners, asking them to collect informa-
ton for their own use
Among other things he said:
THE government report of the cotton
crop is totally incorrect These reports
are as far wrong as anything l know.
Many ginners did not count their bales
esrr>etiy. often adding many hundred
bales more than they had really ginned.
In many instances the number of bales
ginned was guessed at. | have come to
the conclusion that I and the other GIN
ners were chumps for giving out the re-
ports."

Columbus. o., December 3O-Investiga-
tlon discloses that there are no Bertillion
measurements of Lydia Devere on record
at the Ohio penitentiary. The system was
ir vogue prior TO her coming to the pris-
on, but 1t had been discontinued when
she was .ncarcerated. Since that the
system has been restored The prison
records contain very minute description
of Madame Devere, however. This shows
that her height was five feet, five and
one-half inches; that there was a burned
scar on her right elbow, and that ner
ears had been pierced. Her forehead Is
described as high, full and round; eye
brows arched and approaching; ears
large and stand out; nose medium and
straight; chin small and round.

Int REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

The nomination of B. A. Fowler as the republican candidate for congress has given the republicans their war cry in this territorial campaign-"Effi- ciency."
 Mir. Fowler is efficiency personified. If the people of Arizona wish to be represented in congress by delegate who does things-a delegate who will be alert every day of the session to promote and protect the interests of his constituents-a delegate who will show an abundance of good results when he returns home will elect Mir. Fowler.
 The territory is fortunate that the candidates of the two great parties are both high grade men as to respecta- bility and intelligence and culture, and that the contest will be clean. The democratic candidate, like MT. Fow- Ter, is gentleman in every sense, but the contrast between the two men in point of legislative efficiency could scarcely be greater.
 We shall take occasion to point out clearly during the campaign the great advantage which Mir. Fowler has over Mir. Smith, but the citizens of the ter ritory who already know the two can didates do not need to have emphasis laid on the difference between Fowler and Smith in temperament and con- genial aptitude for the arduous work of congressional delegate.
 As we suggested yesterday, there is practically no polical issue before the voters of the territory this year, be- yond determining which party has the most votes. The delegate of terri tory has no vote in congress, and were the people altogether wise they would, in voting for a delegate, look solely to the ability of the respective candidates to serve territorial interests.
 Mir. Fowler's pre-eminent fitness is so we'll recognized in the Salt River valley that he is already assured of a substantial majority in the democratic county of Maricopa. Republican.
