TOTAL COTTON RECEIPTS.
Farmers Turned Stock in on Late
Crop During Cold Weather.

The total cotton receipts have not
reached 10000 bales yet by receipts
it is meant cotton that comes here
and is marketed from wagons, and
does not include linters from the oil
mill and cotton shipped here TO be
compressed. County Weigher r. NJ
Dillard said today that he had weigh
ed 1870 bales, that he had estimated
he would weigh 10000, but that the
cold weather had caused many farm
ers to abandon the crop they had il
the fields and stock was turned in
upon much of the cotton. The cold
weather coupled with the low price
caused cotton gathering not to be
profitable.
The acreage this year will he de-
creased, so many farmers say and the
chances are that still less cotton will
( be marketed next year unless the
/ crop production to the acre is large
More attention will be given to feed
crops and stock raising and dairy
/ farming.

CHARLES W. HAYES, Democratic
Candidate for Second Term as
Clerk Of Court

During his first term of service as
clerk of court, Charles w. Hayes has
demonstrated his efficiency in dis
charging the duties of the office. A
practically perfect system prevails in
the Office, and none of the work is al.
lowed to lag, SO that all records are
kept right up to date. Not only is this
true. but the records are models Of
neatness. Attorneys and all other per.
sons having business in the clerks Of
fee have always received prompt at
tention and courteous treatment and
every possible assistance has been
rendered them by Charley Hayes.
The full virtue that applies to giving
a faithful public officer second term,
applies with full force in the case of
Mr.. Hayes, as his administration Of
the office of clerk of court has been in
every way highly satisfactory.
