Cotton Must Rise, Says Hayne.

New Orleans, Dec. 6.-Frank
B. Hayne, leader of the New Or
leans bulls, in an interview in the
Times-Democrat is caustic in his
comments on Secretary Wilson Of
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, due to the fact that the
departments estimate of 10, ,167,-
SIS bales was based on 500 pounds
per bale gross. whereas 90 pounds
should have been deducted for
bagging and ties, making the bale
478 pounds net. Said Mr.. Hayne:
"lf this years estimate had
been made on the same basis.as
last years estimate, the figures
that would have been read out on
the cotton exchange today would
have been 9,720,434 bales, instead
of 10, 167,818 bales, and it seems
most extraordinary that the De-
partment of Agriculture in spite
of the protest of the New Orleans
cotton exchange. should have thus
willfully created wrong lmpres-
sion in the public mind by max
ing the estimate on an entirely
different basis from what they
bad hitherto done. The spinners
takings last year were 12,450,000
bales. So far this year they are
1S4, 900 bales more than to the
same date last year, which shows
that if the supply were there the
spinners' takings for two years
would certainly be $4,000, 900
bales. As the supply, however,
is less than "a, 600, 900 bales, It is
simply an impossible proposition
for the supply to meet the de-
mand. There is but one answer
and that is, cotton must advance
to a price that will check con-
sumption. The mills have already
bought fully 60 per cent. OF this
crop at an average price probably
lower than their purchases to this
date last year, therefore with far
better trade and materially higher
prices for goods they can afford to
pay very much more than today's
prices before consumption will.
be checked. | feel confident,
therefore, that every farmer who
will sign the pledge Of the South
IeTn Cotton Growers Association
to hold for fifteen cents will pn-
doubtedly have an Opportunity Of
realizing that price.

George Prewitt, a desperate
negro, who has been lurking
around Brookhaven and Rogue
Chitto, for several weeks past,
was killed. north of Heuck's Re.
treat Thursday afternoon by Off
GERS Will Meter, of Brookhaven,
and B. W. O'Neal, of Bogue Chit

attempting to escape.
Prewitt was wanted at Bogue
Chitto on a charge of vagrancy
and carrying concealed weapons.
He was known to carry big
Colts A, and had repeatedly
made threats that he wouldn't be
arrested. Having eluded the off
GERS at Rogue Chitto, about q
week ago, he had since been dodg,
ing around In the neighhorhood
of BrookhaYen and Heuck's Re-
treat. He was finally located by
Marshal O'Neal through the aid
of an old negro named Jake Math-
ison, in the neighborhood OF
Heuck's Retreat, whom he was
suspected of having robbed of
some money.
Thursday afternoon Marshal
O'Neal and Policeman Meter,
armed with double barreled shot
guns and accompanied by Consta-
Bile Moak, of Beat 4, left Brook
haYen on the Pearl River Railroad
train, got off at Heuck's Retreat,
and were piloted to a cotton field
about 2 miles distant, where the
negro was said to be temporarily
engaged in picking cotton.
By stealth, Messrs. O'Neal and
Meter managed to get IN shoot
ing distance of him before he was
aware Of their presence. No
sooner had he discovered them
than be started off, and being call
ed on to halt, paid no heed TO the
command. They each fred shot
without trying to hit him,
thinking this would stop him, but
it did not, and when the negro,
who continued to make off, found
they we're pursuing him, be drew
his pistol and began firing on the
officers. They both then shot
again to bit, and brought him to
the ground mortally wounded.
When the officers got to where be
was lying he was still clutching
his pistol and died in a few min
utes.
Prewitt is reported to be from
Alabama, where he is said to have
killed two men, and was also sus-
peeted Of being the negro wanted
for a murder at Tupelo, Miss.
Constable Hue has been trying to
effect his arrest for some time as a
