the crop was larger than the de-
mand would be and the price con-
tinued going down until the price
fell nearly fifty per cent. in the
course of few days. Cotton here
in this parish was selling at S33
per thousand pounds in the seed,
and the last cotton was sold at
about $15 per thousand pounds.
A decrease in the acreage and
production means the former
price, an increase or even the same
acreage in the cotton crop means
the latter price, aud herhaps less.
This cotton acreage is an i'm

|, In the case of Hon. j. Rush
Wimberly, the representative from

School Superintendent, Judge J..
E. Moore, decided that the Super
intendency is not an Office within
the meaning of the Constitution,
but if it is be vacated the Office of
representative ipso facto in accept

the Legislature and not the court
is the proper tribunal to pass up

body nor the salary of which was
increased while member thereof
