Of 200 feet and within the confines

SOUTH SOLD IT'S COTTON.
Efforts TO Get the Farmers TO Hold
Their Product Unavailing.

Where are the spectators, poll
ticians and newspapers who a few
weeks ago were so strenuously ad-
vising the cotton growers TO hold
their cotton for twelve to fourteen
cents? Today the price of the staple
is about ten cents, the largest crop
on record is in sight and cotton is
being ginned at the unprecedented
rate. Last month farmers meet
ngs were held all over the South.
Senators, congressman, governors,
commissioners of agriculture, lead
ing newspapers and others all bent
their best endeaveros toward per-
suading the growers TO hold their
cotton at all hazards. Crop reports
were colored and exaggerated to
assist this movement. incidentally
the government crop reports and
some Others came in for abuse be-
cause they did not suppress infor-
nation that interferred with the
allruistic operations of these self
constituted friends of the cotton
grower.
II has been intimated, how cor
rectly is not yet made known, that
the whole movement was inspired
by certain big bull spectators who,
caught by the prospects Of bump
or crop, resorted to these extra
on binary measures of deceiving the
grower into holding cotton while
they got from under as best they
could II does not appear, how
ever, that the farmers took such
advice as seriously as was hoped,
Seemingly many of them have
learned the game, sold their cotton
and allowed the belated bulls to
wriggle through as best they can.
Whether this superstition is correct
or not, the farmers OF the South
will do we'll to be wary of advice
from such misleading sources as
endeavored to guide them this crop
season.
There is no doubt that the cotton
crop will be a profitable one at 10
cents a pound, and though abun-
dance at moderate price may not
be so profitable for some as scare
ly at a high price, it is better for
all, even for pianters.-New York

Ahead OF 1910.

Washington, Oct. 25.--Cotton gin
ming throughout the South since
the picking of the crop of 1911 be-
gan has been carried on with great
er activity this season than in any
year in the history of the industry
and has resulted in the unprece-
dented quality of 7,7iO,63i running
bales of cotton ginned TO October iS.
The census bureau issued at 10
o'clock today, showed that greater
quantities were ginned during the
season in every cotton state except
Oklahoma.
There were 2,3i6,c00 bales more
than were ginned last year TO the
same date; i,322,740 bales more than
during the record crop year Of 1904
when an per cent of the years
total crop of i3,697,3l0 running
bales were ginned TO October iS, and
i.4i4,i6S more than the big crop
year of 1908, when 1871 per cent OF
the years crop of i3,432,f3i run
ming bales were ginned to that date.
Throughout the growing season
various conditions caused the crop
TO mature much earlier than in
most previous years and harvest
conditions have been excellent in
most districts of the cotton belt.
In Texas the ginning surpassed pre-
vious records by more than 100000
bales; in Georgia by $4,000 bales;
in Alabama by $4,000; in North
Carolina by 10000 bales, and in
South Carolina by $4,000 bales.
The Comparative Report.
Washington, Oct. 25.--The census
bureaus third cotton ginning re-
port showing the number of bales
of cotton of growth of 1911 ginned
prior TO October i8, was issued at
10 a. m. today. The number OF run
ming bales, counting round as half
bales, with comparative statistics
20 the corresponding date for the
past three years and the percentage
of the total crop ginned TO date in
those states, is as follows:
United States 7,740,63i bales,
compared with 5,i23,62S bales last
year, when i6.9 per cent of the en-
tire crop was gnned to October 49,;
5,530,o67 bales in 1909, when 54.9
per cent was ginned and 6,296 i66
bales in 1908, when iSi per cent
was ginned.
The number of round bales in
cluded were 53,605, compared with
66,i83 bales last year; SS,7i6 bales
in 1909 and iiS,720 in 1908.
The number of sea island bales
included were 4003i, compared
with 25,69i bales last year; 3i,4S2
bales in 1909, and 32,Oi3 bales in
1908.
Arkansas has this year ginned
ii6,6i5 more bales up to this date
than in 1910, the figures for this
year being 277,97s as compared with
i6i 1863 last year. In 1909, however,
they were 330,S84 and in 1908 347,-

DONAGHEY LANDS
ON HOT SPRINGS
Appoints Hugh l.. Hale as Sheriff to

Lid" on and Clamp

Hot Spinrgs, Oct. 25.-If Governor
Donaghey had sent a delegation of
the state militia to Hot Springs
their presence parading up and
down Central avenue would not
have caused greater surprise than
did the news that he had appointed
Hugh l.. Hale sheriff of Garland
county.
Following the appointment OF
Hugh l.. Hale to be sheriff, Bob Will
liams, sheriff for II years, an
nounced his candidacy today. Mar
tin S. Cobb, a prominent member OF
the bar, also announced for prose-
cutting attorney.
Hale will take the oath Of Office
tomorrow morning. He states he
will positively wage an unceasing
war on gambling and Sunday sal

II was "A guhernalorial 'wallop'

cigar and drug stores and on the
street corners and all agreed that
while the governors reception in
Hot Springs recently might have
been a little chilly, he could make
things rather warm when he wished
to, and emphatically demonstrated
the fallacy of the sporting adage
that they never come back. .
Every effort possible has been
made by influential men of Hot
Springs to head off his appoint
ment, which is said to have been al
the request of Prosecuting Attor-
ney ]. B. Wood.
The new sheriff is a dyed-in-the-

thick of the fray for years. He is
credited with being game" to the
core, and his appointment is taken
to mean that the "lid" will be put
on to stay so long as he remains in
