SHORTAGE A MILLION BALES
FEARFUL HAVOC BEEN WROUGHT WEST OF RIVER
D. Burnley of New Orleans Well Known TO the Cotton Trade Tells of
Crop Conditions in Texas and the West

ut is a safe prediction that the
new cotton crop will be 100000 bales
less than last season" This state
ment was made by Mr.. NJ. D. Burn
ley, travelling representative of Gilbert
& Clay, of New Orleans, on the floor
of the Savannah Cotton Exchange yes
terday. Mr.. Burnley is on an ex-
tensive trip through the belt
He has not yet completed his study
of conditions in Georgia and Caro-
lima.
In TeXas-I found the crop at least
million bales short of the last
seasons production" said Mr.. Burn
ley. I'm the central, west and south
western sections of the state, cotton
is still deterioting on account of the
unprecedentedly hot weather which
has prevailed for many weeks.
"In North Texas, where the crop is
better, an early frost would cut down
my estimate three or four hundred
thousand more bales.
Arkansas Worst in Years.
"The crop in Western Arkansas is
the worst in years and cannot posi-
bly, be more than two-thirds as large
as last year In the lowlands there
is some fairly good cotton, but in
the hills there is poor fruitage and
shedding. A conservative estimate of
the shrinkage over last season would
be 100000 bales.
Boil weevil has wrought much
havoc in North Louisiana, and this,
combined with abandoned acreage and
defective stands, will cut off a humid

red thousand bales for that section
of the state. From Monro to Vicks-
burg conditions are a little better, but
are below those which prevailed at
the same period last season.
1T is safe to say that the whole
state will show loss of 100000 bales.
Taken as a whole l therefore reach
the conclusion that the territory west
of the river will be short of the yield
of last season by 1 ,5O0,00O bales.
Alabama 100000 Short.
The crop in Alabama in my opin-
ion, will fall below that for last sea-
son by 100000 bales. The deterioration
for the past ten days has been very
severe. Hot weather caused unus-
ually heavy shedding and premature
opening. The crop is also about two
weeks late. | have not yet complet-
ed my conclusions as to Georgia and
the Carolinas
SO far as can see the coming
crop will be at least a million bales
short of last years yield, hence l can
see no good reason why the crop
should not sell on basis of IA cents
or higher for middling,
THE spinner has sold ahead for
nearly year at such prices that he
can afford to pay Is cents for his
cotton and still make a handsome
profit. The country was secured for
good trades at the close of the season
on basis of IA and Is cents
with the constantly increasing con
bales less should be in as great de-
mand

Would Helm Nort1i,sest

While not deliberately wishing
any of cur neighbors II misfortune,
it is a selfish but practical reflection
that a quieter sort of prosperity for
the eastern part of this country
would most probably give a great
impetus to good times in the west,
especially the northwest. 1t is a
matter of easy recollection hat just
such conditions in the eighties drove
hundreds of thousands of persons
from the farms and cities of the east
upon the farms and into the cities
of the west. The decade beginning
in 1880 was marked by violent ups
a general exodus of those who wanted
to make a fresh start, but the history
of ST. Paul and Minnesota vas n
of practically unbroken progress at
a rapid rate. The population of this
city increased from Al 1000 to 1885,
900, and the boom" was so strong
that it was overdone. Real estate,
in particular, was wonderfully n
HANGED in price, so mach SO that it
had to rest for man. years before
its nominal values were made real.
Though there is no { ire for such

The Cost of Football.

In 1905 the game of football cost
the lives OF fourteen players and in
iured 200 others. That was the worst
record the game has ever made n
this country. Coming after wears CT
high fatality lists. ii excited a move
ment for reform which ended in a
general agreement that If the rules
could not be revised to. eliminate
the increasing perils of life and limb.
and ii the worst of the commercial
evils of the game could not be re-
moved, then the game itself would
be hanished from our colleges and
high schools. Columbia University
put forth an edict of Punishment, but
most other institutions c%ontented
themselves with a revision of the
rules, from which much improvement
was hoped.
That there has been an improve
ment in the moral tone OF sic bust
ness management of the game IS GER
tain, but the statistics OF casualties
for this year have been the aus or
great disappointment over the work
ing Of the new rules of PLAYING. Last
year the deaans were fourteen and
the injured $50, and this year with
the season not finished, tks deaths
a ready number 13 and the injured
152.
Meantime Columbia is Gistng col
|legeS a lesson in the p~ogsiotlfty of
prospering without the game. A
committee Of the faculty investigated
last spring the effects OF the retire
ment IRON the field OF sports, and re-
ported that attendance at the Haiyer-
sitv had grown, students took more
interest in their studies and that no
loss was observable. Recently the
students have worked up enough in
%terest in a mock political campaign,
with primaries, conventions and full
machinery of genuine politics to COM
pensata for the loss Of the football
excitement.
1t is certainly incumbent on the
people who still believe in the future
of football to meet the present stu
ation and show that it can be played
with reasonable safety. 1t is true
Lat the most fatalities are among
high school boys and other pupils
not il at physical condition, but the
colleges eannst escape some Of the
responsibilities for these deaths since
they furnish the incentive to the non-
%coaiegiate player and since their rules
are the rules the others follow

The JOY Of Giving.

That p~hilanthropie fellow citizen
of ours, Andrew Carnegie, attained
to the three score and ten years al
Iotted To man as his proper span OF

is enjoying a remarkably fine state
of health, which is good news for
thost. municipalities who are still
short an up-to-date library building
in their collection of public edifices.
In addition to announcing the fact
that Carnegie had become a sep
tuagenarian, the dispatches took the
opportunity to re1nark on the size
of the steel kings fortune and his
strenuous endeayors 10 get rid Of il
through benevolences i'll order TO

ambition to die poor.

the successful %endeayors of his mind
and body, the extent of his fortune

Nevertheless, we feel safe in sur
missing that a greater degree of deep
down-:n-the-heart satisfaction has
come to- Andrew Carnegie, through
the medium of his philanthropic BEN
efactions, than from any other source
during his tenure of life. The aged
king of the steel mills has found and
is finding the truth in that priceless
saying, ut is more blessed to give
than to receive Once in a while
some one is found who is inclined
I'd question the philanthropy of his
benevolences, but this is hardlsi char
liable. Indeed the only regrettable
feature involved lies in the fact that
Mr.. Carnegie may be thwarted in his
ambition to die penniless, for his
wealth Is accommodating more rapidly
than he can spend it. At any rate
1T is our heartfelt wish that ANDY
