PROFESSOR STARTED POOL.
Big Baseball Gambling Scheme In
vented by Prominent Educator.

Cincinnati, Ohio. July 22.-Post-
office Inspector Frank Smith, of
Philadelphia, testified that the Weekly
World and the Clips, alleged to be
part of the recently suppressed base
ball pool, were printed at Allentown.
Pa. He said the scheme had been
worked out by a professor of a large
university and perfected by expert
mathematicians.
Smith estimated the returns secured
by the office at Allentown amounted
to $4,000 a week. He declared the
winning numbers were arranged SO
there would be little opportunity for
the holders of slips to win large
amounts. Smith said he had partici-
pated in the arrests of several men at
and Wilkes-Barre, who are
alleged to be the leaders of the
scheme.

The Uncertainty OF Cotton

1t is very evident that most d
The farmers took another chance or
cotton this year, and the reduction
in acreage is not what it should
have been. The government re-
port indicates that the condition Of
| the crop is fair.
/ OF course the danger season for
the cotton crop is not passed. We
are in it just now. There is always
more or less damage to the crop
from weather conditions in July
and August, and there may be yet
marked curtaiIment in the crop
from the yield Of last year.
The demand for cotton just now
is not at all encouraging. The mar
ket is between nine and ten cents
just now, but should the new crop
come on The market with the large
surplus from the last crop not yet
taken, the price would undoubtedly
decline.
In other words, we may hope for
the best, but the cotton farmer
should prepare for the worst. He
will hardly see the market demora-
lied as it was last year, but it is
altogether possible that many have
to sell at price that is below the
cost Of making.
There is time yet, to plant some
thing else for the market. There
is time for hay crops, and hay can
be utilized in feeding cattle. There
is time enough for making potatoes
and potatoes mar be sold for cash
or feed to hogs and the hogs turned
into money. -MOultrie Observer,
