DEATH OF WILLARD GALLEY.

Willard Galley, youngest son of
T. j. Galley and wife, who live in
East Greenwood, near the furni-
ture factory, died at his home on
Monday last, finally succumbing
to tuberculosis with which he had
been afflicted for many months.
Willard went West several
months ago for relief, but soon
returned unimpoved, and the end
was not unexpected. He was a
splendid young man, and had
many friends who deplore his
death.
His remains were inferred in
the Odd Fellows Cemetery the
following day, Rev. J. E. Cunning
ham, of the Methodist church
conducting the funeral services.

The new owners of the furni-
ture factory. The Harris Brown
Table Co., have about completed
the necessary repairs to the build
ing, having put in a new concrete
floor, new pillars, roof, ETC., and
are now operating the plant. They
have a contract for quite a large
quantity of kitchen cabinets and
expect to have a number of them
ready for shipment in a few days.
They expect to have a display
ready for exhibit at the Fair in
Memphis. Cheer Up"
Cotton continues to go up and
there is every indication that Mid
ding Cotton will be worth IL
cents in Greenwood before No
vemher. The surplus is dimin-
ishinQ and the consumption in
creasing. There is about a mil
lion more spindles in operation in
the United States now than last
year same date.
Now, It Is up to you, Mr.. Farm
er. to prevent such conditions as
existed last year about this time
ever occurring again. The way
TO solve the problem is to adopt
the slogan Provide feed first
That's safety" Don't let the
high price Of cotton cause you to
drop back into your old bad habit
of one crop; you may see Z cent
cotton again some time and if you
have plenty Of corn, oats, hay and
live stock it won't hurt as bad as
it did in October, 1914.

50 PER CENT. COTTON CROP m
THIS SECTION.

Editor The Commonwealth:
There is apparently little change
in the cotton outlook during the
past few weeks; it certainly grows
no better.
The hot, dry weather causing
serious shedding while the boil
weevil has been busy taking toll.
Have talked to planters where |
have travelled the past ten days
and carefully examined many cot
ton fields. with view of arriving
at some definite idea as to the
real condition Of the crop. The
opinions of planters differed as
to the probable yield as the out
look varied in different localities.
There is no diversity however as
to the fact that the crop is short.
The estimate of condition ranging
from 40 to 60 per cent. of a nor
NAL crop-basing a normal crop
on a yield of about half a bale
per acre.
Very few plantations in the Sec
ton / refer will / think yield over
60 per cent. nor will many places
go below 40 per cent. Picking is
progressing finely. considering the
extreme heat. The grade so far
classes high, as the weather con-
ditions have been unusually favor
able for producing the very best
quality both as to texture and
color.
The evident shortage in the
corn crop has stimulated the saw
ing of hay; hundreds of tons Of
pea vines and all available grasses
have been moved and stored
away for the coming winter. The
dry weather has admirably suited
the harvesting of this valuable
crop. While late corn has done
very little, early corn has yielded
a good crop Of excellent quality
this with the fine oats crop ano
the unusual quantity Of hay, makes
the outlook for feedstuffs far bet
ter than it appeared several weeks
since.
A recent trip across our owr
State and across Alabama and fal
into Georgia showed, as far as
could tell from the car window
and occasional chats with the citi
zens, a cotton condition fully a!
bad as ours. In our own State
regret to say the crop both of cot
ton and corn along the Southern
Railway are very poor. In Ala
bama it seemed some better; ais.
in Georgia. The corn crop in boil
these States Is decidedly bette
than IN East Mississippi.
Planters in our section watchinl
the cotton market anxiously ant
as prices advance they natural,
grow more hODeful. s.

 Political Circles

Mayor Ouigley. has and he hasn't. No, this is not charade or a riddle. It is simply 8 statement of fact or description of the turmoiled eondi- tions existing under his honor's hat. To one newspapcrman he makes the statement that August Burckhardt, Aaron Danielson and J. J. Wat son will be the new board of assessors and that the new safety board will be composed of E. B. AL linz R. R. Healey and Frank Holme es. To other reporters he says he hasn't decided just what will happen. So the mayor has and he hasn't or he is and he isn't sure just what he will do.
 Last evening Mayor ,Quigley was certain that the above men would be appointed to the, boards, thus elimina- ting Patrick McCabe and Thomas w. O'Connor from the assessors. and the board of public safety respectively. By a peculiar coincidence MT. McCabe is MT. O'Connors father-in- Jaw This morning he wasn't quite soN certain and so the city is left in complete ig- norance and Stygian darkness regard ing his intentions. Over which, of course, the city will lose much sleep, will it Not?
 Mayor Qnigley and some of the saf- ety commissioners held a confidence yesterday. Before he went to the confab Mayor Quigley is said to have told MT. O'Connor that there was still a chance for his appointment to the board. He said he intended to know just what the other members of the board intended to do regarding cer- tain things before he made any selec- tions. It is believed that the mayor would like to see MT. filling reelected Chairman. MT. Healey did not expect to be re-appointed, it is said.
 Mark Cashmere, clyrk of the safety board, is skating on thin ice and it is expected to break at the organization meeting of the board, plunging Mark into the cold, icy water in which many of the .'ex' class founder
 Reporters found certificates Of the appointment of Messrs. Holmes. Alling and Healey in the office of the city clerk this afternoon. MT. Holmes was appointed for one year. MT. Alling for two years and MT. Healey for three years.
