keep the pledge of the democratic
platform as to one term as presi-

solicitous about the president be-
cause he has become a grand
father and is too old to make
another race, but he feels that
the only chance for the republi-
can party to win in the next
presidential race is for President
Wilson to decline the nomination
which will be rendered him by
the democrats.

The COTTON SITUATION


The government ginners' re-
port, issued on the 23rd, caused
a slump in the price of spots,
which has been steadily gaining
since the holidays. The ginners'
report showed a total of Ia. 907,-
900 bales ginned to Jan. Is and
Immediately the market went off
40 points.
The country has been led to
hope that with the opening up
Of the German market. which
has been shut out since the war
began, that the market would
soon advance to 9 and 10 cents
at which prices the best grades
of the remainder of the crop
might be sold. The ginners' re-
port however, now indicates that
the crop will approximate 49,
900, 900 bales, and under present
trade conditions the future does
not look bright for the market.
The crop in Lee county, al
though it fell below the 1918
yield, was more than an average
crop. At this time there are
more than Is. 900 bales in Tupelo
warehouses. At present prices
this cotton will bring about
$500, 600. While it is not ali Lee
county cotton, it does not repre-
sent the crop of the county,
which will be fully 26, 900 bales.
Under these conditions Lee
county is more fortunate than
many counties to the south of US
In a number of these not more
than a half crop was made and
further south many counties eX-
perienced practically complete
failures.
With the large surplus which
will be carried over from this
crop there is nothing in the out
look upon which to base the hope
that the crop of 1915 will bring
better prices.
