Mr. w. Gordon Hughes, who last
fall bought the s. M. Jones-Brown
place of 5S5 acres in Bethesda town
ship, was in Yorkville few days ago,
and in conversation with the reporter,
talked as IL he is remarkably well
pleased with his bargain. When he
made the venture in partnership with
Mr. Ware Of Kings Mountain, since
deceased, great many people thought
that he had taken on a load that
would be rather difficult to manage.
He has a fine crop, however, and has
had several offers that would yield
},him a handsome profit on his original
purchase price. He Is not trying to
sell, however. Mr.. Hughes is an unu-
sually successful farmer, and what he
will do with the fine plantation he is
: now on, within the next few years,
will be something worth telling about.

LAST YEARS COTTON CROP.
Secretary Hesters Annual Report is
Very Interesting.

Statistics showing that more cotton
was handled during the commercial
year ending at midnight Tuesday than
ever before and that all records had
been broken in the amount Of cotton
consumed by southern mills were the
features of the annual crop statement
Of Secretary Hester, Of the New Or
leans cotton exchange. The document
FORMS the preliminary report of Sec
retary Hester's annual review of the
commercial year.
The count of the commercial crop
showed it to be the largest on record,
13,S25,457 bales. The previous largest
commercial crop was 13,565,SS5, mar
keted in 1904-05. Last seasons total
was only 11,571,966.
The very large total for this year,
crop was a surprise to the trade, in
cluding both the bulls and the bears,
and if the figures had been issued
while trading was going on it is prob
able that they would have had a de-
pressing effect on prices.
The most important feature in the
report, next to the size Of the crop it.
self, was the statement on the amount
Of cotton consumed by southern mills
during the season which closed today.
Here all the records were again brok-
| en-, the total being 2,559,S73 bales.
This point was regarded by the bulls
as being even of more Importance
than the size of the crop itself. 1t
was taken as official confirmation of
the many stories of the great expan-
sion of cotton manufacturing in the
south. The figures compared with g.
| $4,000 last season and 2,439,000 two
seasons ago.
In the point of port receipts anoth-
i er record was broken Net receiDtS II
all ports of the season were put at
10,062,S45 bales against only S,579,S42
last year and 9,919,555 two years ago.
| Liverpool will have the first chance
to trade on the report. Tonight the
trade is about equally divided in opin-
ion over the effect of the total. bulls
claiming the bearishness of the big
crop is more than offset by the bull
ishness of the big consumption in spite
of the claims of the bears that it is a
decidedly bearish document.
