ALABAMA COTTON FIGURES
 PLACED AT 1894, 900 BALES
First National Banks Annual Review Indicates Era of Grea Prosperity All Over the State-Deailed Figures on Con-
 dition of Crops in Various Counties of State

mainder report a decrease of from b to 20 per cent, the general average being about 10 per cent. This reduction in acreage seems to be due chiefly to lands abandoned early in the season. on account of excessive rainfall. Some correspondents think that the presem crop has been produced more cheaply than last years and more than three fourths of the counties report de- crease in the amount of fertilizer used, the average reduction being about 15 per cent.
 Presence of Boil Weevil
 "The presence of the boil weevil is noted in the counties infested last year, such as Baldwin. Washington, Sumter and ChoctaW, but with the exception of parts of Baldwin and Sumter, it ap- pears to be doing no great amount or damage Grass worms have injured the corn crop in some sections, and cot ton caterpllars are reported in some of the counties, but appear so far to have done but little harm. First bales of the new crop have been received in several towns, but the crop is unques- tionably about two weeks late, and will not begin moving freely until the lat ter part of September. The size of the crop in Alabama will depend in a great degree upon the date of killing frost There is appended hereto in tabulated form, general average by counties Of reports showing acreage and condition as of August 25. On the strength of these reports and assuming an average frost date. we estimate the 1912 Ala bama cotton crop Gin the equivalent or 300 pound bales) to be 1,994,000 bales against an actual production in 1911 of 1,716,534 bales. The Alabama crop is usually about 10 per cent the total crop, but last year it was 10.8 per cent Of the total. Sixteen counties report Il decrease in corn acreage, and 3S report an increase, the remainder reporting the same acreage as last year. There has been probably an average increase in all counties of about 10 per cent In corn acreage, and while the corn crop in some counties Is not as good as last year, in many it is much better. Our correspondents in several counties re- port a perfect condition. It seems prob- able therefore that the state has made the largest corn crop in It's history and one sufficient In most counties to meet the demands of home consump- tion A tendency toward diversified ton of crops is noted in many counties, as evidenced by an increase in the acreage of peas and hay and minor crops, which averages about 10 per cent over the state. The yield of these minor crops appears to be considerably greater than last year.

WANT MEANS EFFORT
"All want something they have
not got. l want a cottage, Others
want castles"
Thus saith the rich duchess Of
Sutherland, deprecating the age
in which we live. Let not the du-
chess worry. The wanting some
thing you haven't got is what
moves the world.
Even adversely has its uses. 1t
is the lack of things he vans that
keeps man moving upward. Pic
ture condition under which
every man had everything he
wanted. Why, it would be
mighty listless, undressing old
world, wouldn't it? !.
But nature has provided differ
emily. She has decreed that NAH,
like all other animals, like the
flowers, the birds, the fishes, the
streams and the hills, shall
change, and in each change dis
cover something that he wants.
The rich, the titled, the power
full, all want something that they
have not got, as we'll as the poor
and lowly. Hence, there is striv-
ing for things. Probably Adam
recognized the mercy of the Lord
in tempting his punishment with
the necessity of earning his liv-
ing. Anyhow, since Eden's time,
or since the time when scientists
say man swung from branch to
branch in quest of acorns and
other monkey food, man has
grown through effort for things

WILSON'S BEST JOKE

Here is Woodrow Wilson's best
Joke. He uses it in speeches to IL
iustrate running from fright:
A southern negro dashed mad

evening and said man had
chased him with knife and had
then shot at him.
"Did he hit YOU" asked the
master.
Mighty near it, sah," replied
the negro. HE just missed me

when it passed me and onct when
1 passed il"

The special meetings at the Bap-

last week. Notwithstanding the in
clement weather, and the special
attractions that we're in town. The
meetings SO far, are a decided success,
and we look for good results to come
from these meetings. Sunday was a
day long to be remembered by the
many that did attend the meetings.
A good spirit prevailed in the church
all day. The Evangelist preached
three times to large audiences. At
the mems meeting in the afternoon,
over 125 were there to listen to the
experience of a sinner saved by Grace.
One man raised his hand for prayer.
