NEXT COTTON CROP.

The current issue Of the Progressive
Farmer contains the following inter-
esting observation on the probabilities
as to the next cotton crop:
Within the last few days the writer
has talked with well informed men
from South Carolina, Georgia, Louis
lana, Mississippi, and other southern
states concerning the outlook for a big
cotton acreage, and the unanimous
opinion seems to be that the size OF
the 1907 crop will be limited only by
the labor supply. Farmers are plant
ing as much as they can cultivate.
Apparently the crop will range be-
tween 100000 and 100000 bales,
these figures representing the extremes
Of favorable and unfav1rable seasons.
Eleven million bales would probably
mean twelve cent cotton: fifteen mill
lion bales would bring little more than
cents a pound. Texas and Louisiana
farmers, thanks to remarkably mild
winter find themselves In a state or
preparedness for crop making that Is
very unusual. Awaiting themselves or
the long weeks Of good plowing wealth.
er, they have their cotton and corn
lands ready, are now planting and
expect to pick a good cotton crop be-
fore the boil weevil wakes up to the
situation. The cotton that had al
ready come up, Of course, was seri-
ously damaged by the recent cold
snap, but no large proportion had been
planted long enough to germinate.
at is probable" as the New Orleans
Picayune says, that any damage that
has actually occurred can be easily
repaired by replanting without any
important setback to the crop as
whole, as an uncommonly early start
had been made"
It is a good time for farmers In
the Progressive Farmers territory to
restrain themselves before 1t Is too
late, II they are counting upon only
a. moderate cotton acreage for 1907.
Make good corn crop; plant plenty OF
peas, even If the price is high; and
then grow as much cotton as possible,
aiming at nothing less than bale per
acre on the land you do put to cotton.
Unless we learn to make more cotton
per acre and with smaller expense for
hand labor, We shall not be able to
compete profitably with the big cotton
farmers Of Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas.

CALENDAR |.

The sounding of the calendar by
Judge Dantzler Wednesday afternoon
resulted in the elimination OF only
two of the cases heretofore published
as having been agreed upon for trial.
These were:
8. Fred r. Black VS.. John Byers.
SO. Catawba Power Co. VS.. Eliza j..
Barron, ct al
There was an effort to secure the
continuance Of No. q, the case OF
Chas. D. Nelson VS.. the Columbia Elec-
trio Railway company and the South
ern railway because of the tendency
of an appeal, but the motion was re-
fused, and the case was marked for
trial.
The first seven cases on the calen-
dar as it now stands, and to be taken
up in the order named are as follows:
8. Southern Railway Co. VS.. Pride
Ratteree.
19. w. w. Auten VS.. Catawba Power
company.
20. ]. R. Wallace VS.. Catawba Power
company.
q. R. A. Bratton VS.. Catawba Power
company.
26. Allen Parker VS.. c. &. NV.
Railroad company.
81. Chas. D. Nelson VS.. Columbia
Electric Railway company.
80. r. P. Carnes, administrator, VS..
Southern Railway company.
Except in the event of break downs
not to be foreseen, there seems to be
no reasonable probability that even all
of the foregoing cases can be disposed
of during the week, and none of the
other cases therefore will be touched.

THE story recently sent out from
the White House to the effect that the
president had been advised of the or
ganization of a conspiracy to defeat
his denomination or the election OF
any man representing his policies, is
being vigorously denounced as fabri-
cation on the part of the president
and his friends to stimulate the SYM
pathy and cooperation Of the people
at large. 1t is difficult to arrive at
the truth in a matter like this. 1t is
a fact that the president, or whoever
started the story, has not given very
satisfactory evidence as to the source
of the authority for it, and therein lies
a serious weakness. If, however, the
story is really we'll founded, 1t Is not
surprising that people who would pur-
sue such methods should enter the
most bitter denials. 1t seems to have
been pretty we'll established, however
that the Republican party was the ben
eficiary of such a fund in the last
campaign and that Mr.. Roosevelt was
fully cognizant Of the facts.

PURE FOOD.

The tremendously increased sales Of
Royal baking powder is one Of the
most noticeable local evidences Of the
effectiveness of what is known as the
pure food law.
Royal has for a great many years
past, been regarded as staple baking
powder, and very few people have ever
been disposed to question its quality
in any way; but because Of the nu-
merous cheap alum powders on the
market, the fact that the average man
CT woman had but little information
as to the important difference, and the
fact that the price asked for Royal Is
so much higher made its sales small
er in proportion.
But with the passage Of the pure
food law, all articles have been put on
their merits to a more marked extent
than ever before, and the Royal people
have been able to advertise and push
their goods to the limit with full as
surance that competitors would not be
able to realize any considerable ben
eft from their expenditures.
The attention of The Enquirer has
been called to the fact that although
all the local grocers have been hand
ling some Royal all the while, within
the past six months they have put in
largely increased stocks and some Of
them are offering. 1t in five pounds,
indicating that the demand is greater
thar it has ever been before.
or course, it is not to be assumed
that the increased sales are due alto
gether either to the pure food law
or the undisputed quality of this we'll
known article. The manufacturers Of
Royal understand full we'll that no
matter how undisputed Is the supe-
riority of their goods that fact is Of
but little avail, unless 1t Is known and
therefore, they are taking advantage
of the situation to advertise more lib
erally than for q great many years.

- Considerable excitement was Gre
ated on upper Main street last Tues
day evening as the result Of the wild
plunging Of a horse that had been
seized by a fit. The animal belongs
to the York Supply company. 1t
had been seized with a similar fit pre-
viously AT the first symptoms of
the trouble Tuesday, recourse was lad
to the usual remedy of keeping the
animal turning until bucket Of water
could be dashed on it's head; but be-
fore the water could be procured the
negro who was holding the rope turn
ed 1t loose, and the crazed animal
staggered out in Main street, running
against obstacles of various kinds. 1t
was evidently without any control Of
itself, and during five minutes or
more it appeared that it was likely to
kill itself, at any moment. People who
did not know the facts, concluded
that the horse was mad, and several
suggested that it be shot; but at length
it was captured on the Metts lawn and
as it became more quiet was finally
led back to the stable.

afternoon and night of Tuesday last,
