REPORT
COTTON GINNING
IS ANTICIPATED
BY TRADE OF ANERICUS
Expected the Effect VIII
Boost Values

Americas reimbursement and the
trade generally anticipate. with inter-
est the bureau report to be issued on
next Friday, covering the total ginning
of cotton to January 18th AS this
includes, practically, the 1913 crop Il
clear insight as to the total viii thus
be afforded. Probably 10000 bales or
less, will thus be added to the amount
ginned to January 1st at which date
the last ginning report was issued and
caused an advance in values.
Those who lean to the bull SIDE are
greatly interested in a more optimistic
feeling generally. Signs of further
improvement will be eagerly watche"
for this week.
So far as the ginning returns are
concerned the trade does not looA for
a report as large as that last year,
which was 181, 525 bales for the period.
Two years ago, ginning for the pc
riod amounted to 19S,797 bales, and
three years ago 168,643. Bearish opin-
ion ranges up to $4,000 bales, while
bullish expectations 90 as low as
100000 bales.
The spot situation will attract more
attention than it has been getting as
there are signs of a revival in the de-
mand and more interest on the part Of
buyers in low grades.
Bulls hope for a better demand
which will reduce stocks at ports and
in the interior and pave the way for
bullish operations in the summer
months. Bears do not consider the
demand can improve materially, since
tGkings by mills thus far this sea
son have been large, and also they do
not think that manufacturers will risk
heavy purchases of the low grades.
Bulls, on the other hand, think that
manufacturers will find increased uses
for the low grades. Developments this
week may throw considerable light on
tie spot situation.

Miss Fern Hobbs,

Copperfeld, Ore. Jan. 19-Miss Fern
Hobbs, secretary to Governor Oswald
West, backed by bayonets of the state
militia, recently closed the saloons
here and gave the saloon men TWEEN
ty-four hours to ship Their wares and
bar fixtures out of the county.
And if you don't do it," she in
formed them, the state will confscate
your goods"
The situation at Copperfeld, Ore
CONS "whiskey" town, was notorious.
The whole administration was whis-
key sodden. The mayor was a whis-
key man, and one of the councilmen
was a whiskey man. Both owned sa-
looms. 1t was charged that whiskey
was sold to minors and at all hours.
The decent element rebelled. They
got up a protest petition signed by
more than half the population of the
town and sentlt to the governor. The
governor told Mayor Stewart to close
the saloons. The mayor refused. Go -
erDor West then called upon Sheriff
Rand, at Baker, Ore, but the sheriff
declined, claiming that he lacked au-
thority, no legal complaint having
been filed.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-01-20

Then the governor got mad. He de-
clared he would close those saloons
himself and remove the city officials
if they hindered him.
Then it was That Miss Hobb invad-
ed Copperfeld. She read an order
from the governor to the saloon men
to close their grog shops and they re-
fused, whereupon she turned to Col
onel Lawson, in command of the mill.
tia, who stood at her right hand and
nodded
The colonel stepped forward, raised
his hand and said: This town is un-
der martial law!"
And now the town of Copperfeld is
dry"
1t was Miss Hobbs who was sent BY
Governor West to Washington, D. c.,
to represent that executive in land
matters relating to Oregon, and it was
Miss Hobbs whom Governor West sent
to Woodburn to investigate the saloon
business there.
Miss Hobbs has been much in the
public eye, politically, and it is rumor-
ed that Governor West, who has an
nounced that he will not run again,
will support his secretary to succeed
himself as governor of Oregon.

Incorporation of Southern Railway
1t has been announced by the state
chamber that arrangements have been
completed with the Southern railway
whereby its bollo weeviI force in south
west Georgia shall work in conjunt
tim with the chambers field workers
in a personal campaign amongst the
farmers of the twenty-three counties
that Will be invaded by the insect
this year This means that the fight
will be conducted by the combined
forces of the Georgia chamber of com
.merce, the United States department CT
agriculture and the Southern railway,
and it will surpass anything in prepa~-
alton for the coming of the boil weev:l
yet done in the south.
The officials of the state chamber
are delighted over the cordial re-
spouse throughout the state during the
first week of its campaign for the $50
900 fund needed to properly finance
the organization. In every city visited
by the field workers the response was
liberal and immediate. In Columbus,
Thursday over $4,000 was raised in two
hours time and subscriptions since
have boosted the figure to nearly SO.
600 for that city.
The campaign will be continued with
renewed energy during the coming
week, and it is expected that the full

CARDINAL FefratA,

Editors Note.-ln April last Mary
Boyle o'ReiIIy, The Day Books
European staff writer, visited the
Vatican and was received by the late
Pope Plus X. While in Rome, Miss
o'ReiIIy was given unusual oppor-
tunities to see into the future-the
time when the conclaVe of cardinals
should choose a successor to Plus X,
who was then in feeble health. Ex-
pecting the early death of the Holy
Father, Miss O'ReilIy wrote the fol-
lowing story shortly before she hur-
ried to the scene of war in Belgium,

in a future conclave, is easily ex-
planned.
After the death of Cardinal Fischer,
Germany's only representative in the
sacred college is Cardinal Kopp, while
the French cardinals are both numer-
GUS and active, fact which is hardly
pleasing to Berlin. 1t is true that
the Austrian group is pretty strong,
but it could not possibly outweigh the
influence of the French clique, around
which a number of other cardinals,
both Italian and belonging to other
nationalities, have taken a resolute
stand.
In theory every one of the college
of cardinals is passable heir to papal
honors. The fact is only five or six
are actual candidates.
1t is not likely that any newly Gre
ated cardinal would be considered as
candidate for the papacy. Hence
the pope who will succeed Plus K is
among those who have been members
Of the sacred college for years. To
eliminate cardinals not liable to cleo
ton one must subtract the cardinal
