MIR. SHIRLEY'S NEW BILL.
Favorable Report on Bill to Facilitate
Perfection OF Title.
columbia Record.)

Favorable report on the bill Of
Representative Shirley proposing to
facilitate the acquiring OF land In the
mountains of Oconee, Pickens and
GreenVille counties for the proposed
Federal forest reserve was made
Phursday by the Rouse Agricultural.
Committee. This bill provides, sub
stantially, that pasture lands, cult
waited fields and buildings, surround
ed by timber lands desired by the
government for part Of this forest re-
serve, may be condemned with the
surrounding unimproved lands, with
the consent OF the owner, where it is
necessary to perfect title. This bin
is strongly supported by owners OF
lands that would be affected by it's
provisions, said the author.
Explaining the circumstances that
made advisable the passage Of this
bill, Representative Shirley stated
that the present law prevented the
purchase Of lands which surrounded
| improved property, and that this
would be amended to permit con-
| demnng Of the improved property by
enactment Of his DILL
Surveys of much OF the forested
| lands in the Oconee mountains were
made about six years ago by the gov
ernment, and, in about 80 per cent
Of the instances, the owners were un-
able 20 establish title to the satisfac-
! ton of the government, and con-
demnation proceedings became nee
essary, meeting approval Of the own
ers. Timbered lands aggregating
about 10000 acres in area will be
purchased for this reserve in Oconee
county, according to estimates. the
government paying about 81 per acre
for it. One citizen Of that county is
said to have $4,000 tied up because
the government cannot establish
clearly his title back to the original
grants.
1.-The turning loose of this money
will place a large amount Of money
in circulation in that part Of the
State, and, at this time will prove of
great financial assistance to the
county" said Representative Shirley.

BIG COTTON CROP INDICaTED
4,8O7,O42 Bales Had Been Ginned
Prior to January 10Th.

Washington, Jan. 23.-A record
cotton crop for the 191l-15 season
was indicated in the census bureau 8

running bales had been ginned prior

riod in any previous year. They also
carried the total ginnings beyond any
previous year, exceeding the record
production year of 1911 by almost
100000 bales.
Until the census bureaus final
ginning report is issued on March

will not be known, but it is believed
it will be larger than the 1911 rec
ord oduction-15,5 ,553,O73 running
bales.
1t depends on the quantity ginned
from January 16 to the end of the
season, which in 1911 amounted to
1,OS7,274 bales, and for the past five
years has averaged 4S5,596 bales.
Should as much be ginned as in 1911.
this years crop would be close to
100000 bales.
Ginnings to January 15.
The ninth ginning report of the
season, compiled from reports Of
census bureau correspondents and
agents throughout the cotton belt,
and issued at 10 a. m. to-day, an
nounced that 14,907,942 bales of
cotton, counting round as bali bales,
OF the growth of 1914, had been gin
ned prior to January 16. This COM
pared with 3,5S2,036 bales, or 81.
per cent Of the entire crop, ginned
prior to January 16 last year; 49,
OSS,93O bales, or 81 per cent, in
1912, and 14,515,799 bales, or 93.3
per cent, in 1911. The average uuan-
tity of cotton ginned prior to Janu-
airy 16 in the past three years was
l3,72S,S21 bales, or 95.S per cent of
the crop.
Included in the ginnings were So

DEATH OF GEORGE Y. COLEMAN.
Body Taken to Seneca for Burial
Other Seneca News.

Seneca, Jan. 26.-Special: News
Of the death of George Y. Coleman
came as source Of regret to many
friends here. His death occurred at
his home in Athens, Ga, on Tuesday,
the 10th, and his body was brought
here on Wednesday for burial. George
was born and reared in Seneca, and
1T is not an eXaggeration of the fact
to say that he made his friends by
his acquaintanceS. Bright good
natured, affable, kind-hearted, as
boy he loved and was loved by every
body. These attributes clung to him
In manhood, and while his latter
years were spent from Seneca, he
made friends wherever his lot was
cast. He was the third son Of Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. w. Coleman, and leaves
devoted wife and mother, and one
brother, DR.. e. NJ. Coleman His
father and one brother, Max, pre-
ceded him to the grave some years.
His health had been declining for
some years, and. for some months be-
fore the end came, it was known that
the disease was mortal. For several
years Mr.. Coleman was at the head
of the Coleman Hardware Co. in
Charleston, but recently was associ-
ated with the Clark County Bank at
Athens, being the president. Several
years ago he married Miss Helen Nc
Iver, of Charleston, and for the young
wife and the sick mother is felt the
sympathy Of a wide circle OF friends.
The remains were accompanied by
the pastor Of the family. Rev. Mr..
Beatty, of Athens, Mr.. McIver and
DR.. Coleman. 1t was a sad circum-
stance that on account OF serious ILL
ness, neither the mother nor wife
was able to attend the burial. Mr..
Beatty was assisted in the services
by Rev. Mr.. Marshall, rector of the
Clemson church, close friend Of the
family. lnterment was made at
Mountain View beside his father and
brother. Exquisite floral offerings
bespoke mntely the popularity Of the
dead friend.
