WALLACE

cooperating Itself Into a
Municipality.

'WA[IuACE, April 14-In looking
over the statistic reports of towns
and cities in West virginia, one fails
to find any report as to the popula-
ton of Wallace. Why? Simply be-
cause the town is not Incorporated.
There is a population of 645, 166
occupied houses, over 200 school
children, seven good stores, one
drug store, three doctors, two black
smiths and $4,000 church, and
the town not Incorporated. Why?
Should it not be like other towns?
There are number OF towns in
this state that are Incorporated that
have population of less than 200.
Why can the people here not have
some protection, and have the
streets and side walks kept in a
condition safe to travel over? Why
can there not be some help from
the county court on the roads
through our town? The roads
through this town are worse than
'any other place in sardis district.
There should also be better
schools in sardis district. The dis
trict is in great need of a district
high school. Ths spring there was
a number of young people that we're
compelled to go to other districts
for schooling such as they should
be able to receive in their own dis
trict. sardis district is well able to
build district high school. Now,
good people, get your heads to-
gether and start the ball rolling for
a district high school. Other dis
tricts in this and adjoining counties.

against IS 1-2 a year ago and 10 1-2,
the average for the last ten years. as
contrasted with 91.6 per cent, the
highest record. on July 25. 1904.
The most conserva tive crop experts
are expecting this coming report to
make the average condition about 81
per cent, with the heaviest falling off
for the month in Texas. oklahoma.
Mississippi. Georgia, and the Caro-
lnas. Even at So per cent. such
condition would still be the highest
for August IS on record, with tho
exception OF S4.1 in 1904 for the las.
twenty years.
1t would compare with 721 last year
and 63.7 in 1909, which was the lowest
on record in twenty years for that
period. and be contrasted with an av-
cragc of about rs per cent. for the last

ber. quite as trying a month as Au-

which figures out about November l..
Consequently, there is still 10 assur-
ance OF anything like positive charac-
ter that the crop will even approNi-
mate the present conservative estimates
OF 100000 bales. Everything de-
ponds upon very favorable weather
from now on to the end OF the season
and a late average date Of killing frost
to realize such a crop.
Problems of the Future.
What crop OF that size would bring
in the way Of average prices for the
season Is a question which no one can
foretell al this time. The solution of
| that problem depends upon trade con-
ditions throughout this country and
In Europe. especially during the next
six to eight months. The average price
which last seasons crop figures out
was about 13t. against lax cents the
previous two years. If an average of
II 4 cents is realized this year. 1t would
still show a profit to planters. but it
would be a heavy loss as compared with
the high prices realized for the much
shorter crops of 1910 and 1909. A
record crop of cotton does not always
mear more money to the producer. If
trade conditions the world over are
not favorable for full average con-
sumption by the worlds spinners. a
big crop is worse to the planter than
an average or smaller crop.
At present trade conditions in this
country in the cotton goods industry
arc far from satisfactory. largely on
account of the uncertainty over the
tariff and the mixed political situation.
On the other hand. Europe's good trade
conditions of the past six months are
now being badly jeopardized by the in
dustrial war in Great Britain. This
has been paralyzing business in Man
| chester and Lancashire the past week
to such an extent that mills have been
closing down rather generally in that
district the last two days and business
in spot cotton on the Liverpool EN-
change has been practically suspended.
