YALE LAUNDRY,
formerly Broadway laundry)


This laundry was started about II
years ago, and by the commendable
enterprise Of the management, and the
fine quality of work furnished to its
patrons it has attained to the highest
degree Of popularity.
Recently the name Broadway has
been changed to Yale laundry, by
which name it shall be known here
after to make 1t conform in designa-
ton to plants owned by the same par
ties at Portland, Oregon and Duluth.
The change is made wholly as a mat
ter of convenience Of advertising and
in the buying of stationery and sup,
plies and does not involve any change
in the management. :
The constantly increasing patronage
bestowed upon the popular Broadway
laundry, now Yale laundry, Of this
city is proof of the fact that high
standard of excellence, carefulhessT sef
work, and honest devotion to patrons
interest give the best assurance Of
success in the laundry business, as
we'll as In other business pursuits.
The Yale laundry Of Superior, like
the other laundries operated by this
company is model establishment,
has few equals, and is not excelled ~
any in carefulness Of management,
clearly conditions, competent work
manship and thorough equipment in
every way to execute the finest work.
The officers of the company are as
follows: c. F. Brown, president; w.
L. Yale, vice president; D. F. Melon
aid, secretary; G. E. Yale, treasurer.
These officers with Frank J. Huebsch
of Portland, Oregon, and Chas. c.
Huebsch OF Duluth, MIMI, form the
board Of directors.
Mr.. Brown until recently resided in
Superior but is now manager Of the
Portland plant. Frank j. Huebsch is
superintendent Of the operating de-
partment Of the Portland plant and

COTTON CROP ESTIMATES.
important Figures Given Out by Com
missioner Watson.

Columbia, Nov. 24-Commiss,oo-
T. D. watson Of the State department.
OF agriculture, has issued an estimate
or the cotton crop in the South for III.
Southern Association Of Con,n,iss,o,
CTS oi Agriculture. Col. Watson has
worked for several weeks on this esti-
mate and his figures are regarded &c
conservative and at the same time as
accurate as reports received by him
will indicate. In issuing his statement
he says
Our estimate, whcih is based on
Geographic reports received from all
the States save Georgia, whose COM
missioner is absent from the State
dated Nov. IA, is 12,551,OS6 running
bales, excluding linters. This conclu-
sion is reached after due allowance for
the weather and other crop conditions
FOR 1908. Were the estimate based en-
tirely on amount Of cotton ginned n
Nov. IA in years when same ginners'
results were shown, the 1908 crop
would be 13.4sS,S7s bales, but the
conditions have not been the same in
the varying years. Were we to take
the average amount of cotton for the
past four seasons to be ginned after
Nov. IA We would have to add 3.7O4.-
157 bales to the 9,63O,563 bales al
read ginned and get a total crop of
13.334.157 bales. If we add to the
amount already ginned in 1908 the
amount ginned after Nov. IA in 1905.
to which year 1908 conditions closely
correspond. We will have a total crop
for this year of 12.e2s.925 bales, which
1t Is seen closely approximates the esti-
mate Of 12.501.OSs bales that the asso-
cations committee considers a fair
one"

Pisgah, Nov. 24.--Oats are being ex-
ssnsively planted this year. Some Of
Them are up and look fine.
Crops are about all gathered.
In a conversation with Capt. s. N.
Mcleod Of Oswego. he gave me his
plan Of corn planting and culture.
which I think Is better than that of
the Williamson plan. He made forty
bushels to the acre this year with q
great deal less manure than William
con uses. He says IL corn is planted
deep II will grow slow and needs no
stunting. Capt. Ship Mcleod is known
as one OF the best and most successful
planters. Rev. T. l.. Cole, of this
place. made about forty bushels of
corn to the acre this year. 1t was
made almost without rain. Nothing
but few sprinkles on 1t. Part OF the
Hand was covered with trees. He did
not manure high. Potatoes are fine
here. Some OF them equally as good
M those you report.
The hot supper at Mr. C. T. Evans
Hast week was a success. The cakes
and boxes were very pretty and sold
well. The box Of Miss Rosalie Evans
brought the highest price. and the
cake contributed by Mrs. ]. II. Nc
Ieod brought s3.to. 1t was fine one.
A very interesting prayer meeting is
held at Pisgah church every wcdnes-

New York, Nov. 23-Credit for the
creation Of the Standard Oil Trust,
which counsel for the Federal govern
ment claims still exists as the Standard
Oil Company, of New Jersey, was
given by John d. Rockefeller as a wit
ness today under cross-examination in
the Federal suit to dissolve the Stand
ard. to two men-Henry M. E1agler
and Samuel c. T. Dodd. To these two
master architects Of the oil combine
Mr.. Rockefeller gave full credit, say
Ing that he did not posses the ability
Tor so progressive a move.
Mr.. Rockefeller spent an arduous
day on the stand under the incessant
questioning Of Frank b. Kellog, the
government counsel. When adjourn
ment was taken until Tomorrow he
gave every evidence Of delight that the
day was done. Counsel hopes to, con-
clude Mr.. ROckefeller's cross-examin-
alton Tomorrow. when It Is planned to
place John d. Archibold. vice presi-
dent OF the Standard. on the stand.
Frank B. Kellogg, who with other
government Investigators. has been en-
deavoring for over a year to obtain the
missing stock transfer book of tho
Standard OIL Trust. sought to-day
through Mr.. Rockefeller to find tho
missing trail of these books, and Mr..
Rockefeller promised to do what no
could to find them. Mr.. ockefeller's
examination to-day carried him
through the period Of the Standard Oil
Trust and the years Of its subsequent
liquidation. which lasted from 1892 to
1899
Mr.. Rockefeller's memory at times
was not clear on the definite details Of
this trust liquidation period. and hs
told counsel that he could not recall
many of the incidents and develop
ments Of that time. During the day
Mr.. Kellogg developed from Mr.. Rock
efeller that early in the Industrial ex-
lstences Of the Standard the president
Of two railroad companies. together
with several railroad directors, were
