MATERIAL PROMISING
+FOR STRONG TEAM
SEVEN OF THE OLD GUARD BACK
ON THE FIELD FOR THE
BATTLE.
SHAM" WILL SHIFT POSITIONS
A Broneho Buster From Texas Will

Southern stars-work Has Already
Begun.

There has never been such large
crowd on Academy field before for the
preliminary work in football as this
season. Besides the seven old men
that were here last year there are
about thirty-fve recruits on the field
every afternoon working hard for po-
sitions.
Coach McGehee is much pleased
with the prospects and the work 30
far shown by the Cadets. G. M. AS.
eleven promises to have some all
southern stars this year and the team
promises to be a winner.
Shamotulski, who played right half
last year to such finish, is trying
for full back. Sham" is one of the
most conscientious, all round, hard
players on the team, and that he will
make full is certainty. Phillips,
who held down left half in 1909. Il
trying for the left half and will more
than make the position. Tolley, the
crack quarter for 1909. is playing for
the same position and has no opposi-
ton for tirst place Claggett, who
played such a good game for the
scrubs in 1908, is working hard for
right half, but he has strong oppon-
ent in Pratt, from Alabama. Ransom,
the star of the scrubs last year is in
the game for one fthe ends. Looney,
the big center of last season, is again
working in the same harness, and is
pulling even. B. Craighead is back at
his old place at left guard and there
is no possibility OF any one beating
him out of this place. Among the 9TH
er new recruits that are promising ma
terial for the first team are Gamble,
practicing for quarter; Witherspoon
and Atcherson playing for position at
tackle Atcherson was one of the
stars of the 1910 baseball team hold
ing the first bag to finish. Spoone-
man, Gentry, BOYD and Porter are also |
prominently mentioned as favorable
material Hurt, who halls from Tex
as, and is reported as being broncho
buster, Texas Lacquer, ETC., is one
of the most universally touted new
recruits on the field. With these and /
at least thirty more Coach McGenee
should not have any serious trouble
In picking winning team for this
and the Southern prep cnam-
should by rights rest for the
year to come on the grounds of the
Columbia Military Academy.
One encouraging feature of the
work this season is that there is plen-
y of school spirit in the practices and
wherever this exists, victory is more

MAURY COUNTY HAS
BRIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR COTTON CROP
IF FROST IS DELAYED 1T WILL
PROVE or VERY GREAT
BENEFIT.
500 BALES MAY BE GROWN HERE
Reports From Most Southern States
Are Favorable, and II Weather Is
seasOnabIe the Crop VIII 5e In
creased.

The prospects for cotton In Maury
county are bright at this time, yet
much depends on the weather, and
if the frost is delayed until the crop
can mature it is estimated that the
county will produce 500 bales. Re-
ports from most cotton producing
States are to the effect that the frost
is an important factor. and If the
weather continues warm until the Ia
ter cotton natures the yield will be
much increased generally.
The cotton factory in this city will
start as soon ss the conditions will
justify.
The following summary of ccndi-
lions in various States is interesting
at this time:
Summary.
The cotton crop is coming to ma
turity IN an irregular manner. ia all
parts of the South, save the most
southern growing cotton sections,
there are fields which are thrifty and
growing and need late frost to per-
NIT of the maturity of a full Yell. In
all sections, also, there are fields
which apparently have come to full
growth and will make no more cotton.
In such as these the bolls are opening
rapidly. It appears that on the whole
the past two weeks have brought the
crop toward maturity more rapidly
than the farmers had anticipated. AS
a result there are some complaints
of shedding in the valley and the At
lantic States. In the latter, however,
the shedding does not appear to have
been so great as Is usual for this sea-
SON.
1t is estimated that at least fifty
per cent of the fruit on the stalk in
the northern districts is mature and
cannot be hurt by frots. In Southern
Texas, Southern Georgia and Louisi-
ana estimates on the matured cotton
run so to 100 per cent. In Oklahoma
and Arkansas the crop appears later
han anywhere else. Some of the Ok
ohama reports say that early COM
)laints of damage by boil worm we're
,verestimated, although it is esti-
mated that the promise is not quite
10 brilliant as at one time indicated.
In general larger yield than last
7ear is Indicated in all States save
seorgia, South Carolina and North
,arolina. In the two latter late
rost would add considerably to the
ield.
1t is shown that considerable bene-
t to the crop has accrued in Central {
nd Middle Western Texas as result
I rains during the first week Of Sep I
ember. The making of top crop '
ill depend, however, on a late frost I
Farmers are generally marketing B
Dtton freely. 1

tions It is the purpose of the incOni-

around the railing watching With
fascination the handiclafi of the
Navaios and the Hopis while The
