The old wet and dry bulb thermom'

urgent need. The opening ana shut
tings of two taps and raising and low

measured quantity of air into a glass
vessel, and as this comes in contact
with anhydrous phosphoric acid the
water is quickly absorbed, causing the
mercury to rise in a narrow glass stem
to a point showing the exact percent

 Something of a revelation was also dis covered in press special to The Times Democrat. wherein it was stated that MT. Harvie Jordan President of the Southern Cotton Association. had made representa- tions to Washington asking for a postpone ment of the census ginners' report on cot ton ginned to October 18th. due about the 25th instant, until December 10th. claiming that the market was being unduly advanc- ed in the interest of a bull pool of specu lators and not in the interest of the farmer. the former having sent out false reports to the effect that nearly the entire crop in the Atlantic States has been blighted or stained These reports, he declares are intended to create an unfair situation by raising the market price of the staple so high that a crash will come when it's dis covered that the crop of 1906, will be the second largest in the country's history. the proportion of cotton spoiled by the recent storm being comparatively Insignificant In this connection however. 1t is not likely that a postponement of the census gnners' report due October 25th will be granted. the law not permitting a change of date.
