TERRELL GREW 44,97O BALES
STILL LEADS ALL OF GEORGIA
IN COTTON PRODUCTION.

Complete Gin Statistics of the 1911
Cotton Crop Are Reported
by Census Bureau.
The News has received from the
census bureau a complete report of
the cotton of the 1911 crop ginned
in all of the counties of Georgia.
There were ginned in Georgia of
the 1911 crop a total of 2,794,295
bales against 1,S12,17S in 1910 and
1,850,125 in 1909.
Terrell county produced last year
44,97O bales. There were ginned in
the county in 1910 27,066 bales and
in 1909 1852.
Ihere are seven other counties in
which a larger number of bales were
grown. These are: Burke, Coweta,
Dooly, Jackson, Laurens, Sumter and
Walton. All of these counties are
much larger, some of them covering
more than twice as much area, than
Terrell, and the latter maintains the
position it has held several years of
growing more cotton per square mile
than any other county in Georgia.
Eleven counties grew as much as
10000 bales in 1911. The guam
tIty each has produced the past three
years is as follows:

there is any sense in my discussing
anything except the candidacy of
Col. Roosevelt" Hadley answered.
'As TO the roll l have my own ideas
as to how far the fight should be
carried and what should be done
then"
At the time of the calling of the
convention it was planned for the
Roosevelt delegates to go into the
coliseum and await the report of the
credentials committee. Just when
this would come depended upon the
spirit in which the majority of the
committee took up the rehearing of
the contest.
Three Delegates Arrested.
Three delegates to the convention
were arrested today charged with
disorderly conduct. One, who gave
the fictitious name of Everett John
son, bought a lowered waste basket,
price $3.50. In the Congress hotel

There are only three bonafide

based on assumption that President

are James S. Sherman, of Utica, N.
Y; Governor Mead, of Vermont.
and John Wanamaker, the Philadel-
phia merchant. Taft men would
like to start booms for Senator

dency and Borah has declared that
under no circumstances would he
accept a vice presidential nomina-
tiOn.
Governor Hadley's wond erful for
ty minutes ovation yesterday has
placed him in a particular position.
He has long opposed the idea Of
bolting. The Roosevelt forces are
ready to bolt and if Hadley remains
loyal to his leader he must go along
with the rest.
Eyes Are On Hadley.
Taft leaders awakened to the
Hadley strength and are passing
envious eyes in his direction. Some
Of the practical politicians, IT is
said, are secretly planning to steal
the Progressive thunder and In case
Tafts chances for nomination grow
dim will suddenly throw their votes
to Hadley to head the regular ticket
which plan if carried out will make
RooseVelts staunchest supporter his
rival Hadley annaunced that
he thought the interest of the party
would be best served by fighting the
issues out on the floor. However,

will desert Roosevelt, but those who
know Hadley best say he will re-
main in the coliseum and remain
regular.

Roosevelt has decided to take the
bit in his teeth and continue with
the present convention without fur
ther delay. In a carefully prepared
statement which he read to his per-
sonal advisors, to be later HANDED to
all his delegates, the colonel an
nounced his willingness to lead an
Independent fight for the principles
of the progressive movements, and
called on such of his friends who
placed these principles above party
loyalty to join him in the fight to
the finish. He thanked his friends
In the Republican organization and
those who have fought with him up
to the present and released them
from any obligation other than their
desire to join him in the fight for
principle.
"The time has come" said the
colonel. when I feel that / must

Convention Called to Order.
1t was 1902 o'clock when Senator
Root called the convention to order.
One minute later the convention
took a recess until o'clock 60
o'clock eastern time).
1t was certain that when the re-
cess was ordered that the credential
committee would not be ready to re-
port on the temporary roll before 8
o'clock tonight, but the afternoon
hour was that in the hope that pos
sibly a compromise might be reach
ed that the report could be handed
in this afternoon.
After adjournment there seemed
to be a general feeling that the stock
of Governor Hadley was going up
and that he stood a splendid chance
of eventually being the Hominee of
the convention, especially in view OF

the Roosevelt statement.
The reason for Bill Flynn's resig-
nation as national committeeman is
troubling many delegates. 1t is
rumored the action followed a quar-
rel with Roosevelt because the col
onel refused to sanction a real bolt.
Flynn merely stated he quit because
he did not want to serve.
Credentials Committee Meets.
AS soon as the recess was declared
the committee on credentials went
into session.
Roosevelt ordered his followers
who bolted the committee last night
to sit with the committee today.
The Roosevelt men started a row
directly after the committee met in
regard to order in which the con
tests should be taken up. The Taft
men wanted alphabetical considera-
ton while the Roosevelt men wanted
to start with Texas.
The chairman ruled for the Taft
men. Halbert, OF Minnesota, moved
for recess so that his side might
confer. The motion was voted down.
A row started when the chairman
told Halbert to sit down. He re-
fused and the sergeant-at-arms was
ordered to enforce the chairman 3
orders. Halbert then sat down

radical Roosevelt followers have
had no other thought than
that they would nominate
Roosevelt at convention other
than the one presided over by Chair
man Root Al what hour this action
would come, by what immediate
steps it would be preceded by, these
were regarded as mere details. No
effort has been made to obscure
the fact that Roosevelt regards the
die as cast and the birth OF new
party.
The only 'If" in the proposition
when today's business bezan was the
suggestion that the roll of the con-
vention be purged of the eighty
tainted names.
That the anti-Rooseyelt following
would consent to this was not antic-
lpated. To remove the list Of dele
gates challenged by the Roosevelt
following would be to surrender the
Taft majority to the Roosevelt party.
No contingency was counted upon
to move men like Penrose. Barnes
and Crane.
Plan For n Recess.
To permit the credential commit
tee to complete It's hearings on the
contested delegates and to formulate

forces this morning decided to have

then recess until o'clock.

POLICE SEARCHING FOR ALLEGED
SOLDIER WHO ORDERED SUPPLIES
Believe He is Clever Fakir Mo-
Troops Ordered Here, Adjutant
Generals Offics States Today.
PLAYS TRICK ON MERCHANTS

When no soldiers were found this
morning camping near Koch's farm,
on Arnold's hill, by several well
known provision dealers VINO had
contracted with an alleged represen-
tative of the United States Army to
supply foodstuffs for the soldiers,
the adjutant generals office, on
Governors Island, answered a query
from the EVENING NEWS to the
effect that the young man who came
here yesterday and posed as an ad-
vance agent Of the army must have
been fakir. An aide of the gener-
al declared that no soldiers are due
to camp or pass through here at this
time.
In addition to disappointing many
people, who expected to see soldiers
camped here for manOeuvers, about
a score of merchants are gnashing
their teeth in rage and disappoint-
ment over the loss of seemingly big
orders for provisions-the biggest
orders ever handed out in this town.
The loss of sleep to Young Ameri-
cans" who long for glimpse at real
uniforms, etc, can not be compared
with the damage done to the bust
ness of many merchants. The extra
orders for meats, bread, etc, can be
disposed of to regular customers,
however, the dealers state.
Merchants are "Stung."
Among those who acknowledge
that they were "stung" by the ad-
vance agent, although probably not
suffering any considerable loss, are
the following: Julius T. Simmer,
proprietor of Simmen's bakery; e.
B. Walker, manager of the Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company;
Borak Brothers. meat dealers; John
Seaman, groceryman; P. M. Olesen,
baker. There is a report current
that the agent also ordered supplies
by the City Market, but this is de-
MED by Manager shumsky, who also
laughs at the rumor that he loaned
t25 to the posing military man. Mr..
shumsky states that he informed
the agent to appear before him with
superior officer and then he would
close the deal.
Orders 800 Loaves Of Bread.
Mr.. Simmer was not home when
the visitor called yesterday but his
brother, Charles, agreed to make up
500 special sized loaves Of bread to
be furnished at ten cents each. This
bread was baked last night and
taken out to Arnold's hill at o'clock
this morning, but no signs OF the
troops could be found. The driver
continued to Kings Hotel, Wood
bridge, but received no enlighten1ng
information. Mr. Simmer says he
can dispose Of the bread with but
little inconvenience. Six years ago,
while living In New Brunswick, Mr..
Simmer was tricked In like man
ner. He made up 500 loaves and
delivered them at hotel door, upon
request of a stranger, but found the
order fraud.
Although he did not see yester-
days visitor. Mr.. Simmer believes
him to be the man who called upon
him six years ago at the county seat
At that time he wore an ordinary
business suit and was not dressed In
an army uniform. Mr.. Simmer de-
scribed his visitor of years ago as
"short, and sandy complexion,
which agrees, to some extent, with
