LIT TIE REDUCTION
IN COTTON ACREAGE
Slightly Less Than 35 Per Cent Of
Last Years Crop This Year.

Notwithstanding the, aggressive
campaign that has been waged on the
subject during the past six months,
Mississippi's reduction of cotton acre.
age for the current year will not ex-
ceed thirty per cent, and it may not
reach that figure.
This is the opinion generally ex-
pressed by those who are conversant
with conditions in various sections of
the state, and have had opportunity
to familiarize themselves with the
plans of the farmers. 1t is corrob-
Grated by field agents of the United
States department of agriculture who
although declining to be quoted on the
subject, frankly admit that the cotton
acreage will be much larger than they
had hoped for.
The small farmer has been the chic
obstruction in the way of securing
the proposed fifty per cent reduction
Many small farmers declare that they
do not know how to successfully grow
any crop except cotton, and that the,
! must have a certain money crop il
order to meet their obligations.
However, the small percentage of re
duction will not be confined exclusive
ly to the small farmers. Many of tht
largest planters in the delta, wher'
1t is not unusual for one man to cul
tivate $4,000 or 10000. acres, admi
that they do not intend to reduce acre
age more than thirty or thirty-fiv,
per cent.

FLURRlEs REPORTED
ELSEWHERE IN STATE
Back of Cold Wave Broken, and Tenn
perature is Rising-Reports From
Various Towns Tell of Real Winter
Weather, Although for Few Hours
OnIy-Rain Succeeds Snow in
jackson.

The coolest weather of this entire
season was recorded yesterday and
last night in various sections of Mis-
sissippi, according to reports coming
in over the wires today. Fayette was
visited by snowstorm, the first in
ten years, which lasted till yesterday
afternoon, and other parts of the state
saw light fiurries. The residents took
a holiday, similar to that enjoyed in
Hattiesburg last February when this
city was covered with several inches
of snow, and so enthusiastic were the
citizens in their games in the open,
that several near-riots were narrowly
averted.
Hattiesburg escaped anything that
resembled the snowy covering. This
morning, however, heavy frost was
noticeable, but it took only half an
hour of sunshine to dispel that.
Little suffering was experienced any
where in the state, because of the fact
that the snow gave way to-slush. Few
if any, crops were damaged by the cold
wave which, the Weather Bureau says
has virtually passed. Mississippi ex
perienced little bit of every kind oi
weather during Sunday night and Mon
day.
AT Jackson the day was inauguratet
with rain, a continuation of an all
night downpour with a modicum o
sleet about s o'clock. At o'clocl
snow begas to fall spasmodically, an(
for nearly an hour there were severe
furries but the ground was wet ant
the snow melted before it had fairl.
settled on earth or houstop.
Before midday the weather settled
and the temperature commenced t
drop. At o'clock yesterday morning
the government thermometer showet
3S degrees, at 9 p. m. 1t was 36 OF

of the undesirables are on their way

are said to have been committed.
Dudley Sanders, wanted in Laurel
for house-breaking, and who has been
held by the Hattiesburg police for the
last two or three days, was returned
to the former place this morning, in
custody of a county officer.
Chief Ludy Monette, of the Meridian
detective bureau, reached the city this
morning and took charge of two ne.
groes wanted for assault with intent
to kill. They were Foster Terrell and
William Terrell, two brothers.
Louis Reeves, charged with breaking

Chief Benefits men, also was turned

a ARE SHOT IN A
JERSEY LABOR WAR
by Associated Press.)

Roosevelt N. j., Jan. 19.-Fourteen
men were shot, four of them fatally,
in clash today between the striking
employees of the American Agricul-
tural Chemical Company, and county
officers. 1t was necessary to summon
police reserves from adjoining cities
to quell the disturbance.
The strikers, $50 of them, are said
to have boarded train in search of
strike-breakers. Clerks of the COM
pany on board the train were afraid
they would be harmed, and raised an
outcry. Deputy sheriffs rushed to the
scene, when some one threw a stone.
A free-for-all fight followed, when the
officers opened fire. All of the wound
ed men are strikers.
Only the laborers at the plant are
on strike.

yesterday on business, and while here

the popular meaning of the term, but

district and served for few years,
when he resigned to engage in a gen.

found more lucrative, as we'll as more

candidate for Governor, and while
he had not made general
canvas of the state that he

been around good deal and is much
encouraged to make the race. He
does not believe in long canvasses
holding to the idea that short cam
