Review OF THE COTTON MARKETS.
HYATT, TREASURER OF COTTON Ass0cIA
TON, GIVES HIS VIEWS.

Columbia, September IA. H
Hyatt has just returned from a trip
through the cotton belt and the meet
ing of the Executive Committee OF
the Southern Cotton Association at
Hot Springs, Ark. A reporter for
the Columbia State called on him
yesterday morning and asked him his
opinion as to the cotton situation.
Mr.. Hyatt stated that he left Co.
lumbia on the first day of September
and travelled through South Caro-
lima and through a part of North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and
Arkansas, and took special train
over to Texarkana and from there to
Marshall, Texas, and through the
eastern part of the State, making a
close inspection of the conditions of
the cotton crop. Along the Red
river and a part of the plains of Ar
kansas, where is said to be one of
the finest cotton belts there are, he
found the cotton weed to be unusu-
ally large, but for the last twelve or
fifteen days the deterioration has
been great. He also found in Texas
that the boil weevil had spread over
territory of at least 500 miles in
different directions. At Marshall,
Texas, he was taken out to large
plantation where the boil weevil and
boil worm were putting in their
work. Cotton which was supposed
to make at least bale per acre two
weeks ago will not make one-third of
bale per acre at this time. 1t ap-
pears that the boil weevil is taking
bolls of larger size than heretofore.
"We selected stalk at random
that had AZ bolls on it and after cut.
ting and examining the bolls we
found only three good ones on the
entire stalk. In another instance
there were 33 bolls, which were prac-
tically grown, and after examining
them we found there was not single
good boil in the lot. We went into
field of young cotton and stepped
30 steps before we found single
square or boil. talked with lead
ing farmer who lives 18 miles from
Marshall, Texas, and he said that he

from the neighborhood, as his cotton
was complete failure.
81 am reliably informed that the
cotton crop in the delta is good in
some sections, but spotted.
"After going through the cotton
belt for several days, / then went
direct to Hot Springs, Ark, where
found the executive committee of
the Southern Cotton Association in
session, where their reports from
every section of the cotton belt, was
without single exception, that the
cotton crop had deterioriated at
least 20 per cent within the last 10
or Is days.
"The convention was we'll attended
by representative men, who could be
relied upon, and they all stated that
up to three weeks ago they had a
most fiattering prospect for cotton
crop in every section, but the boil
weevil and boil worm and the she'd
ding caused by continued rains had
wrought havoc upon the cotton crop.
cit is stated by some bears that
the Southern Cotton Association did
not make an estimate upon the pres
ent cotton crop because the outlook
was so flattering. beg to contra
dict that statement. The Southern
Cotton Association did not make an
estimate upon the present crop for
the simple fact that the deterioration
for the last two weeks has been so
great that they we're at loss to do
80. Inasmuch as the government
missed their guess 100000 bales a
year or two ago, as well as the asso-
citation last year, they considered it
nothing but guess work. But from
all the information that 1 could
gather l am satisfied that if we get
11,500,000 bales of cotton it will ex.
ceed the expectations of the execu-
tive committee.
81 would beg the farmers to 90
slow in marketing their cotton, and
investigate the condition of their
cotton crop more closely, for / be-
lieve better prices are in waiting for
them.
81 have no doubt their experience
will be what mine was on yesterday
as | went over field of fifty acres
on Broad river, which produced a
bale to the acre last year. In many
instances l found only two bolls to
the stalk. / have no idea that I will
get one-third of a bale this year.
There is no top crop, and as far as /
can see l am satisfied we will not get
more than crop of II, 100000 bales.
''Inasmuch as it is conceded that it
will require 12,500,0OO bales to sup
ply the worlds demand, / see no rea-
son why we should not get 124 cents
for this crop.
81 am glad to say that inasmuch
as the association has had some hard
licks, as all new organizations have
to have before they can become
thoroughly established, found the
officers of the association in high
spirits and more determined than
ever to control the price of the cot
ton crop and push this fight in be-
half of the Southern people.

Chocago, April 26.-Zion City's af-
fairs and the fight which is being
waged for the control of it's millions
have been brought to a crisis through
the filing of petition of involuntary
bankruptcy and an application for the
appointment of receiver for John AL
eXander Dowie, founder of the city
and deposed head of the Christian
Catholic church. On the outcome of
this litigation, which, on the surface,
involves only about $1,000, will hinge
future possession of the city's wealth
estimated at $20,00O,0O0.
The application for bankruptcy
order and the naming of a receiver
was made before Judge K. M. Landis,
of the Federal Court, by attorneys
Michael Gesas and Edward T. Fox,
of Gregory, Poppenhusen & McNab,
who are acting in behalf of Ransom
R. Walker, guardian of the estate of
Ethel B. Foley and conservator of the
estate of William T. Foley, insane,
and John Konting. Judge Landis de-
cided that before any order should
issue DR.. Dowie ana his creditors
should have a hearing and set Mon
day as the day when they should ap-
pear before him.
Second Receivership Proceedings.
This is the second receivership pro-
ceedings in which Dowie has been in
volved. The first was started Decem-
ber l, 1908, when Fred M. Blount and
A. D. Currier were named as reoeiv-
ers on an Indebtedness of $400, 900.
Dowie contested this action in the
courts and succeeded in having the
officials discharged.
Thirty-five of the faithful followers
of Dowie were frustrated in an at
tempt to hold a meeting in the taber-
nackle at Zion City, Wednesday night,
the janitor denying them admission in
accordance with the instructions of
Deacon Granger. When they appeared
at the door of the tabernacle and de-
manded in the name OF DR.. Dowie that
they be allowed to enter. the janitor
told them that he had been ordered
to allow none of the followers of the
first apostle to enter unless they were
accompanied by Dowie. The Dowie
adherents held a conference, and
then, after singing a song and offer
ing a prayer, dispersed.
