In reply to the charges that some
counties have more than their share of
employees in the Legislature and that
favoritism has been shown in making
appointments to state jobs the score
tary of the civil service commission
makes an answer which would seem to
show that there is little on which to
base criticism. He points out that
the twenty mine counties not represent
ed among the state employees had no
applications and that under the rules
no appointments can be made from
them unless the regular examination
is taken. He has no option but to Sc
lect the employees from the eligible
list.

Total Previous Crop

Washington, D. c., Nov. 21.-The
Census Bureaus fifth cotton ginning
report of the season, issued at 10 a.
m. today and showing the number
of running bales, counting round as
half bales, of cotton of the growth
of 1911 ginned prior to November
IS, with comparative statistics to
the corresponding date for the past
three years, is as follows:
United States, 11,269,986 bales,
compared with 8,780,439 bales last
year, when 75.9 per cent of the en-
tire crop was ginned prior to Nov.
IA; 8,112,199 bales in 1909, when
8O.5 per cent was ginned; and $685.
800 bales in 1908, when 1873 per
cent. was ginned.
The number of round bales in
cluded was 1901 compared with
93,364 bales last year; 123,757 bales
in 1909 and 173,908 bales in 1908.
The lumber of bales of sea island
cotton included were 71,199 COM
pared with 52,631 bales last year,
68 495 bales in 1909 and 56,701
bales in 1908.
In no previous year has so much
cotton been ginned to Nov. 18th, as
during the present season, the census
bureaus report today showing to-
tai of II ,269,986 bales, which is al
most a million and a half bales more
than was ginned to that date in the
record year of 1904.
The feature of today's report, how
ever, was the figures of Georgia,
which show 2,1O3979 bales had
been ginned to Nov. IA. This guam
tity of cotton is more than ever
grown in Georgia before, and by the
time the final ginning reports are
received it will have far surpassed
the previous crops of any year.
Every cotton state, except Mlssissip-
pi and Oklahoma, showed a greater
amount of cotton ginned than dur
the past two years.
While the total was greater than
any other, the amount ginned be-
tween Nov. and IA this year was
not so large as that ginned last year
during that time. Only 1,299,OS1
bales were ginned this year compar-
ed with 1,359,279 bales ginned dur
the same period a year ago.

Perseverance. Dear. Keeps the Honor Bright.
The Washington times., 1911-04-16
DEFENDS PLAN TO CREATE
CoLORED FIRE COMPANY
" THE TIMES.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
My article recently published in your
valuable paper, relative to forming a
colored fire department in Washington,
seems to have caused at least two of
the readers of The Times to sit up and
take notice. And those two geneltmen,
namely, w. E. Allen and ]. D. Murray,
seem anxious to go on record as against
granting colored citizens of the District
of Columbia a part of the square deal
of which we hear so much, and Of which
they themselves want to enjoy.
Mr.. Allen, whose minds eyes seem to
be somewhat crossed, sees everything in
opposition to a colored fire department.
He sees through a glass darkly. when
1t comes to the question of dealing right
by the colored man and brother. But
there never was a worthy and Just
cause put before the public but what
there was some opposition sprung up
from the roots Of prejudice in the hearts
of s9me selfish men.
Tfe idea of creating a colored fire de-
partment, since there Is not a mixture
of colored and whites in the present
fire department, would prove to be Of
great benefit to this city; and we be-
lieye it would meet with the approval
of great majority of the business
men, FIRE insurance companies, and
realty owners In the District of Column
bia Mr.. Allen, who evidently has
nothing to. lose in case of a big fire,
comes forward with the following Ques.
