Reducing Cotton Acreage.

"The cotton acreage up our way Is
greatly reduced" said M. c. Stock
bridge. Manager of the Ruston Oil
Mill and Fertilizer Company. Of Rus
ston. at the Grunewald yesterday.
THE use Of commercial fertilizer
this season Is nothing in compari-
SON with previous years. and that in
Itself Ia an indication Of what Is being
done in reduction. Even with q very
favorable season this year, our section
couldn't possibly make more cotton
than last year. and last years was on
IVA 40 per cent. crop.
" "The planters have been Diversity.
Ing considerably. They are planting
more corn and everything that they
need on the farm, and putting the
surplus in cotton. They are not in
clined to regard the boil weevil seri-
ously. but the fact Is that they are
up against hard proposition in the
boil weevil, the hardest proposition
they have ever had.
"Our section has been interested in
the promotion of the new railroad
from Western Farmerville. but It has
not yet materialized. Our new Union
Railroad Station, to be used by the
Rock Island and the ", s. and p, is
now In course of construction."-

COTTON CROP FORECASTS.
Greatest Cotton Year South Has
known Predicted-Diversifca
OF Crops Idea Spreading.

Colonel John p. Parker, Of Monroe.
who owns half dozen cotton planta-
tions in north Louisiana and who was
one OF the principal operators in the
famous bull campaign of three years
ago, says that cotton is going higher
this year than 1t ever went before,
and 25 cents a pound isn't to be un-
expected.
III the Texas drought continues
cotton will go very much higher"
said Colonel Parker yesterday at the
Grnnewald. "a thorough drenching
rain will break the market. But It
is impossible to have any early cot
ton now in Texas, and Texas is the
biggest Of the cotton-producing States.
What the boil weevil ate up in Lousi-
ana last year didn't amount to any
thing. That was a mere drop in the
total production.
yet. though more cotton was pro-
duced last year. there was still a
greater increase In the demand. Even
with the reduced acreage Of this year.
II conditions are favorable. there will
be more cotton grown than there was
last year. and then there won't be
near enough to cover the demand.
This Is going to be the greatest cot
ton year the South has ever known,
and the price Of the staple is going
higher than 1t ever went before un-
der ordinary market conditions"

his mind entirely was shown by his
clear statements OF facts In many in
stances and his interest taken In sug-
gestions made as to probable changes

demned principally the fact that there

relieving the State of many OF its

features along this line.

charred and Discarded, II Brought
Wealth to Poor Widow
Some years ago a poor widow kept a
small shop in a Berlin suburb One
evening as she was serving a customer
workingman stepped into the shop
and asked permission to light his pipe.
Drawing piece of paper from his
pocket he twisted It up and, after
lighting his pipe, threw down the spill
and walked of with word of thanks
When sweeping the floor the follow
ing morning the widow took up the
charred paper out Of Idle curiosity and,
unfolding It, saw that it was a lottery
ticket, only a portion Of which had
been burned She folded it up, put &c
away in her pocket and had almost
forgotten it, when the result Of a large
lottery drawing caught her eye in the
paper
She then remembered the crumbled
ticket in her pocket, and on producing
it found. to her amazement and de-
light that il had won a prize of 500
600. She claimed the prize, and, al-
though she advertised widely fer its
original owner, with the intention Of
sharing it with him. she was left in
undismrbed possession of her fortune.
