interesting Cotton Figures.

+ Figures Of the government cotton
census, issued on January 23rd, 1905.
I are interesting and exhibit that ike
/ conditions prevailing throughout
/ the cotton section for the years 1904,
1905 and 1906 determined the crop for
those -ears. For instance, in the FIVE
3eading cotton States, Alabama, Mis-
5 -sippi, Georgia, South Carolina and
exas. the fluctuations in cotton pro
uced in each was correspondingly
uniform During those years Ala
oama produced I .451 .362 DDS, 900 and
1,241. 133 bales; Mississippi, 1.774,464,
LBS, 059 and 1,576, ,533 bales; Georgia,
i 1862, $50, 1,725. .272 and / ,632, 703 bales;
south Carolina, 1892, e26, Zip, ,363
and g12. SOP bales, and Texas, 3,082,
203, 2,432. us and 3,957619 bales.
With the exception Of Texas, where
depredatious of the boil weevil varied
for the above years. the figures given
show that increase or decrease in the
crop for one State marks the like in
the other States. Then it would ap
pear, that taking the known crop OF
your own State for any year and com
pairing it with the probable crop of
the existing year, the entire cotton
crop of the country may be approx
imately estimated.
The census figures also show that
the cotton ginned up to January 18th
OF any year is as correspondingly
uniform.
3 The showings Of the figures may be
taken as a guide that indications for
a good crop in any Of the States are
indications for a good crop in the en-
tire country. Also, remember that
Texas ranks first; Georgia second .
Mississippi, third; Alabama, fourth
and South Carolina, firth in the pro- .
ductiou of cotton.

HIS FIRST THOUGHT.
9ooooooooooooooooooooI


Many a personal and characteristic
anecdote of President Mckinley has
been brought into public knowledge by
the recent dedication of the Canton
monument raised to his memory.
Among the speeches of the occasion
more than one referred to his lifelong
devotion to his wife. "A writer in the
Chicago Tribune tells a story of the
great man and his tenderness which
has hitherto been unpublished.
In the early days Of the Spanish
War Mr.. Mckinley and Mark Hanna
were engaged In a close and serious
evening conference in the Presidents
room. The time ran along to the hour
of 8. Suddenly those busy in the outer
room saw President Mckinley rise and
leave the apartment, saying, "Wait a
few moments, Mark" He was gone
about twenty minutes. IN the mean
time Senator Hanna walked restlessly
between the two rooms, speaking a
word or two to the secretaries, and
showing plainly that he shared with
the President feeling of deep anxiety
as to the outcome OF the military pro-
ceedlngs. He remarked on the fact
of great shortage of supplies, and, from
his words and bearing, revealed to the
assembled few in that outer room that
the President and his closest advisers
were lying awake nights and working
to make up for the deficiencies of the
military situation.
When the President returned he and
Senator Hanna resumed their anxious
consultation. Then the Presidents sec
rotary remarked to one who was near
him:
II suppose you wonder why Presi-
dent Mckinley got up so suddenly and
left without a word to any one. You
saw how anxious he was about the
military situation. Even that would
not cause him to break away from
what has come to be the custom of his
early evening.
about the same time every night,
when he hears a signal from the other
side, he knows that Mrs. Mckinley is
ready to retire and wishes to see him.
No matter how busy he may be, nor
how deeply engaged in any subject, he
Invariably drops everything on the In
slant and goes to their own apart
mentA There he sits by the bedside
and reads a chapter in the Bible to
Mrs Mckinley. Then he waits a few
moments until she is quiet, tiptoes
back to the door, comes over here to
the office, and without a word takes
up the thread. of his work, and keeps
it up until toward midnight"
