Bulletin 95, which has just been issued by the bureau of census, con- sists of report on the production of cotton in 1907, prepared under the supervision of William M. Steuart, chief statistician of manufactures, by Daniel c. Roper, expert chief of di- vision. This report says Georgia ranked second in the quantity of cot ton produced in 1907, with a total of per cent of the total production of the country and an increase of 229,- 459 bales over 1906. As a result of this increase and the large decrease shown for Texas in 1907, Georgia re- ported but 504,6S9 bales less than the latter state, against a difference of 2,655,494 bales in 1906. Mississippi ranked third in 1907, with 1,504.3OS bales, or 13.2 per cent of the total for the country, followed by South Shi tiAAas "hiSh duNSnSCu tibIn SlS ulH place in 1906, with a total of 1,142,- PA bales, and Alabama with 1,132,- 966 bales; or 10 per cent each. Dur ing the earlier part of the season the weather conditions were very unfa- vorable for the cotton crop, as cold backward spring was responsible for pool stands. stunted plants, and a late start, and later excessive rain fall, especially in the western states followed by drought, threatened dis aster. The weather during the latter part of the season was, however. very propitious and practically the entire crop was harvested in good condition the average grade being estimated as middling. The boil weevil occasion ed considerable damage in Texas Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma but growers are gradually becoming more efficient in holding this pest in check.

HULL FOUGHT HARD.
hgother of Mrs Morris, Who Was
 Elected From White House.

Washington, June 5.--The defeat or Representative John A. T. Hull In the Iowa primaries eliminates from congress one of it's most pie turesque and widely known mem bers. He has achieved several kinds of notoriety in the IT years in which he has been a member of the house, and made an increase in the number of political enemies at home. For the last six years he has been hav- ing a growing fight for renomina- tion. and at last his opponents have outumbered his friends.
 MT Hull, who is variously known as Captain" Colonel" and Gen eral, in recognition of his civil war service, has been chairman of the military committee of the house for several congresses. He is loyal member of the house machine, and stand-patter on the tariff. But in deference to the prevailing senti- ment in his state he has loudly and consistently proclaimed his adher-- ence to the Roosevelt policies That did not stop the back-fire at nome, however. @ TWO years deo hC came very near losing his seat.
 He figured to large extent in the unpleasant case of Mrs Minor Morris, who had been thrown out of the executive offices at the White House for insisting on seeing Pres ident Roosevelt. Mrs Morris is MT Hull's sister, and she declared that it was owing to his harsh treatment of her that she sought redress from the president. Her husband had been in the public service, and Mrs Morris contended that he had been dismissed on the application Of MT Hull. There had been a lot of dlf- ficulty in the family over the settle ment of the estate of the father or Mrs Morris and MT Hull.
 Mrs Morris accused MT Hull. who was the administrator, of not deal ing fairly with her. Mrs MOTHS went to the White House to see the president, and was rudely elected.

important Notice to the Public.

This company, which owns the
Ryall and Mix mining concessions
on the Yaqui river, has begun an
active campaign of exploration and
development of its property. The
program of the work contemplated
includes in its scope both the pros
pecting of the territory covered by
the concessions by parties employed
by the company and the granting
of permits, on a reasonable basis of
royalty, to outsiders who may
desire to carry on such exploration
work and locate property within
the territory controlled.
The territory covered by the con-
cession includes everything between
the Yaqui and Tecoripa rivers, and
between the town of Cumuripa and
line drawn east and west from
the Mojonera del Guamuchil above
San Antonio de la Huerta, and the
Ojo de Aqua above the town of
Tecoripa on the Tecoripa river.
The territory is located in the dis
tricts of Ures, Hermosillo and
Guaymas.
The administration Office of the
company will be Fundicion. All
communications, for the present,
may be addressed to the company's
secretary, w. P. Tucker.
In view of the many communi-
cations which the company has
received from various persons rela-
tive to announcements which they
have desired to make within the
concessions, it has been decided to
give to all those who have ex-
pressed desire to make such loca-
tons, because of the expense to
which they have already been put,
a preferential opportunity to do so
on Just basis. 1t will be neces-
sary in order to insure this privi-
lege, to perfect arrangements with
the company to that end at an
early date.
