Governor Will Not Remove the Dane
County Register.


Governor Davidson Friday dismissed
the petition of the special committee
of the Dane county board which prayed
for the removal from office of Register
of Deeds S. T. Burgess for the alleged
withholding of fees belonging to the
county. He based his decision on the
statute which provides for the fixing of
the salary of the register of deeds and
his assistants. Emerson Ella, counsel
for Mr.. Burgess, argued before the
governor that his client had turned over
to the county some Sc, 400 in fees and
that Mr.. Burgess instead of owing the
county $82, he has coming to him the
former amount Mr.. Elias contention
that the board failed to fix the salary
of Mr.. Burgess was sustained by the
governor.
Governor Davidson concluded that
the register of deeds is entitled to the
fees provided by law and, therefore, is
not properly chargeable with any mis-
appropriation of moneys which, under
the law, belonged to himself.
1t is expected that under this impor-
tant ruling Mr.. Burgess will begin suit
to recover from the county the amount
of fee money he turned over to it.

Memphis, Tenn.-Reports from the
Souht's cotton fields for the week are
somewhat irregular. On the whole,
the crop has probably lost ground.
Rains were excessive in North Car
Dina, but of great benefit in South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, al
though in the three latter states some
deterioration and shedding occurred
before the coming of the rains. In

ding and an increase in boil weevils.
Rains in this state have been poorly
distributed.
Boil weevils are more active in
Louisiana, where there seems little
chance for any more fruit, while
Southern Arkansas is worse affected
thar at any previous time during the
season, although in other respects the
Arkansas crop made normal progress
during the week. Oklahoma complains
of boil worms, which are widely dis
tributed, but the promise for a good
yield is not impaired.

opportunitv Of sunraoist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
Of the magazines how the women Of
Finland came to vote. The fact is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that IN 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

CLOSE OF COTTON YEAR
LAST ONE WAS RECORD FOR HIGH
VALUES.
New Season Begins With Prices More
Than One Gent Higher Than
at Last Start.

Memphis, Tenn.-The cotton trade
entered a lev season Thursday morn
ing, the past one having been brought
to a close with August 81. The move
meat during 1909-1O reached 10,609,
Cos bales, according to the figures of
b New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
the smallest crop since 1908, whe the
famous Sully campaign was conducted
and prices were put to II IL cents, at
the time regarded as tremendously
high, but exceeded during the clos
ing days of this past August, when for
the first time within thirty-seven years
20 went up on he boards.
1t has been in all respects a most
remarkable twelIthmonth, the aggre-
gate value of the crop going beyond
that of years of big yield. The aver
age value of middling cotton in Mem
phis vas IA 34 cents, giving every
bale Of that grade an everage value of
slightly more than ST., and a total
for the cotton handled at Memphis Of
$37, 265, 600.
That prices did not reach an even
higher point was due to the surplus
carried over from the growth of 1908,
which was approximately $1,000 900
bales, the amount moving to market
being 13.825,OOO bales. This suggests
that with a moderate or small yield
in 1910 high prices will prevail. At
present an estimate on the crop based
on anything more tangible than as
sumption is impossible, but there are
foT "h0 10o1x f0r n or1n 1orCo, Ahor
II, 100000 bales, and predictions are
made that the yield will not exceed
100000 bales. The latter figure, in
view Of the depletion incident upon
the last small production, would be
inadequate to the worlds needs. This
accounts for the high prices with
which the new season begins, mid
ding in Memphis being quoted at Is
cents, as compared with ~ 7-16 cents
at this time last year.
